Hey you Bush bashers, stop complaining!

Here is an op-ed piece by John Loeffler that appeared two years ago. It is even more relevant today:
Read the whole article here.This week's letter from the ACLU appeared in the business mail, alarmed at the assault Attorney General John Ashcroft is waging on civil rights and hinting that if I kick some money into the pot they could prosecute an effective defense to this clear and present danger. Sigh. Give 'em enough time and they'll eventually catch on, sort of.
Strange times do indeed make for strange bedfellows and while I have consistently attributed credit to liberals for clearly identifying the current civil rights crisis, my liberal friends just don't seem to understand that their policies of the last three decades carefully laid the groundwork for such a situation to arise.
Three decades ago liberalism went off the rails, embraced a philosophy of relative, constantly-changing values as it morphed into an eclectic party of self-contradicting special interests. And so it's always amusing when liberals talk about the \"rule of law,\" because the core belief of most liberals is that no values (or laws) are absolute and no one should push their values on anyone else unless of course they're liberal values (a party of contradictions
Indeed, liberals have always preached the rule of law when in power but when forced to abide by laws they themselves find unpalatable, they consistently find some way to torture laws and the judiciary into getting around it or simply assume a glassy transcendent look and say, \"oh but we have a higher moral purpose and are not obliged to obey immoral laws.\" Heaven forbid one of their conservative adversaries should ever say such a thing, such as Judge Roy Moore.
