Debunking McCain’s Strawman Argument over the GI BIll
May 26, 2008 on 2:43 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsToday, John McCain is still pressing on about how his weak GI Bill is better than the one passed overwhelmingly by the Senate.
McCain said today to the AP:
“I am running for the office of commander in chief. That is the highest privilege in this country, and it imposes the greatest responsibilities. And this is why I am committed to our bill, despite the support Senator Webb’s bill has received.”
McCain then does something that is a common trick of the right wing. He introduces a solution to a problem that has never existed.

A flaw in McCain’s 100 year plan

Today we experience a diminishing of our civil rights and freedoms through expanded presidential powers. It can be called “creeping fascism”, especially when one considers the broad range of policy shifts that has taken small steps toward changing our society. Everything from the “no-fly” list to the failed attempt by the president to require that mailmen report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods has been conducted in order to heighten fear among citizens.

Her commentary set me to thinking about the higher morality that surrounds the debate.
