The problem is that if you do not draw a line, then the right wing just gets more and more extreme. The Bush years were scary following 9/11. We get bent out of shape because President Obama wants to set some parameters on the public safety exception with legislation.

Well, under Bush, the question would not even be asked. Bush would simply do it, then call anyone who raised question unpatriotic. Remember Valeria Plame?

We need to draw the line on such race baiting.
