Conservatives Endorse the Fuhrer Principle
Last week's annual Conservative Political Action Conference signaled the transformation of American conservatism into brownshirtism. A former Justice Department official named Viet Dinh got a standing ovation when he told the CPAC audience that the rule of law mustn't get in the way of President Bush protecting Americans from Osama bin Laden.

Former Republican congressman Bob Barr, who led the House impeachment of President Bill Clinton, reminded the CPAC audience that our first loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution, not to a leader. The question, Barr said, is not one of disloyalty to Bush, but whether America "will remain a nation subject to, and governed by, the rule of law or the whim of men."

2. Let the choir say, "Amen!"
Yeppers. Those who cry that comparisons to the Third Reich are hyperbole are burying their heads in the sand. We're running the same path; the only difference is that Hitler was a hell of a lot smarter than Bush. Demented, yes, but smarter. It's the Fieldmarshalls Cheney and Rove that are pulling the strings on our Führer-wannabe.
