I like this arguement. So, if you thought your next door neighbor was in cahoots with bad guys, but then found out he wasn't, but then thought he was collecting weapons to use against you, would you be justified in invading his house and butchering his family? And then when you found out he didn't have any weapons, would you be aquitted of all charges by raising the defense, "Well gee, we're better off without him"? Not so simple after all, I guess.

If you like this argument so much, why not respond to it instead of changing it into a completely different argument/scenario? Apples and oranges.

LOL, I guess the topic did go off; not that that's a bad thing in this particular instance, but I'll comment on the original post.

I just glanced at the Morris article. It seems to me he is saying Obama will do this and Obama will do that, all of which will make us a Socialist country. He further says that if Obama does all of these things, then the Republicans will win in 2010 and 2012.

Unless Morris has some source somewhere that knows what Obama is going to do, Morris is speculating and trying to scare people. I do agree with him though that if Obama does do all of these things it will prove to be a disaster for his Presidency and his Party. Obama won the election due to moderates; they will abandon him in a second if he abandons them. I think he knows that- he is no dummy. The danger I think comes if he gets elected to a second term. Then he can do pretty much what he wants without fear unless there is a Congress that won't go along with his every whim and can put a check on anything extreme he might want to do. Historically the Party in power loses influence in the mid-term elections so there is hope that the next Congress will act as a check on anything extreme. There is also a fairly solid conservative Supreme Court that can do the same.

Yeah, what he said.
