The Present Danger by Justim Raimondo

It isn't enough that the neocons control both parties, and that both "major" candidates for President parrot the neocon line. Bush and Kerry agree that we have to "stay the course," and sink deeper into the Iraqi quagmire, even as the "cakewalk" turns into a protracted agony and the number of killed Americans approaches the 1,000 mark. The neocons don't want to hear any dissent, or debate, which is why the pro-war Democrats – who recently crushed any attempt to get antiwar clauses into the party platform – are on a jihad to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot. Nothing must be allowed to disturb the "bipartisan" serenity of the neoconservative pro-war "consensus." Massive antiwar sentiment must be allowed no "legitimate" outlet or expression – that's what "fighting for is an expanding worldwide community of democracies" is all about.
