It’s because they’re partisan and as a result – unable to be objective.
Both sides do it. We all know it.

Oh well, at least the Libertarians can still be trusted to be pretty consistent. Not that anyone seems to notice. :-P

Yes, all of them think this and never change their mind. Ever. In fact, the only way they can change their mind is if they meet and decide to do so collectively.

They are the borg, and you will be assimilated…

OK, I'll go ahead and answer my own question. Hmmm. I read the comments thread, and it goes on well past 9/11. And guess what; there doesn't seem to be a large-scale shift in opinion by the end of the thread. They still thought it was a dangerous use of executive power. Say what you like about those Bob Barr types. They're impressively consistent sometimes. So, what's the point? I thought we had Daily Kos for this sort of thing. Oh wait; we do. Same citation. Where's the "centrist" credentials of Daily Kos? Just for laughs I can spend all day going through pre-2002 posts on "progressive" sites about how dreadful the Iraq sanctions are and how they're failing to do anything but kill innocent Iraqis and how they ought to be ended right now AND fast forward two years and read how the invasion was unnecessary because the sanctions were working.

So why do we think differently post-9/11?

That has to be the gob-smacker of the day. Here's one reason. There are roughly 3,000 others.

Who are these “Freeper” things? Enlighten us? They are a plural noun, but they have but one opinion amongst them? One post speaks for all minds? They move in mental lockstep? How sad! And what do the wretches “think” now?
