One of our elected officials actually made some sense.

What a steaming, lid-popping load of garbage Ensign and Cavuto are spouting here. Garbage of the sort that I think, hope and pray a plurality of voters are finally sick of hearing.
Interesting also, once again, to note how dissent about the war is described as treason (providing aid to those at war with us) when it is spoken by Democrats, not when it is spoken to identical effect by Republicans and conservatives.
Ensign claims that “the division that [terrorists] are seeing in this country is giving them strength. It is emboldening them to carry on. They think that they are close on breaking the political will of america.”
A great argument, I suppose, for suspending the First Amendment, if it were true. But even if it was true, just who would give the terrorists more “strength” and comfort: dissent from out-of-power leftists on the sidelines, or dissent from iconic conservative pundits like Bill Buckley, George Will, Francis Fukayama, et al? Not to mention a bunch of retired (and Republican) four-star generals.
