What Doesn't Josh Marshall Get?

So on exporting democracy ...

1. President encourages supporters to accuse newspaper reporters of treason: check.

2. President mandates systematic use of torture: check.

3. President routinely asserts right to ignores laws passed by Congress: check.

What am I missing?

Actually, I think it's more one of those trick questions. Like, we're not exporting 'democracy' but our democracy. So, as we send it to them, we lose ours.

Josh may not get it, but luckily for America George Bush does. They hate us because we're free. By making us less free, President Bush is making us less hated, and therefore safer. God bless you President Bush for understanding how dangerous our freedoms are to us...
