Matt's right... it's like the planets aligned for the neo-cons on 9/11/2001. They controlled both the legislative and executive branches, were on their way to appointing themselves control of the judicial branch, and with the terrorist attacks got "we the people" behind them in a way that allowed them to step on the Constitution due to some "clear and present danger" type mentality regarding personal rights.

Basically, it was coup that nearly took away everything that the Constitution stands for with regards to the checks and balances in our system. And the general population was either too scared by 9/11 or too involved in trying to afford a new H2 with $10,000 rims to bother to care that the fundamental fabric of the US was being torn.

Frankly, if it weren't for the Daily Show with Jon Stewart... we'd be head-long into an Mid-East based Orwellian perpetu-war on terror.
