Neatly treading that gray zone dividing freedom of speech and treason, being very careful not to step over the line
Do we have conscripts now that prefer not to be in the service?

OT: I find it curious how some people can be so intensely partisan – to the point of being practically unable to use words "Bush" and "President" in any proximity. I went through the trouble of counting: In this brief article the author mentioned the word "Bush" 10 times, and the word "president" only once, in relation to Mary Sue Coleman.

Pat Buchanan has the same problem, but on occasion he does say "President Bush" – when the context absolutely requires it. This Oliphant man would probably make sure to avoid any such context.
