Answering the “What-Ifs” of November

It has been my contention for a long time that Alabama Governor George Wallace was right when he said in 1968 that “There is not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties!” In this article at Townhall, Judge Napolitano uses the rhetorical tool to prove it.

What if they both support the authority of the federal government to spy on Americans without search warrants?

Answer: They both will. They both have. The target is Americans’ privacy, all in the name of security.

What if they both support confining foreigners, uncharged and untried, in Guantanamo Bay?

Answer: They both will. They both have. There will be no change, regardless of what happens in November.

What if they both believe the president can arrest without charge and confine without trial any American he hates or fears?

Answer: They both believe that. They are both totalitarians with no regard for Constitutional niceties such as the Fourth Amendment.

What if both major presidential candidates believe they can fight any war, assassinate any foe or assault any country using the military or the CIA, and they need not ask Congress for a declaration of war as the Constitution requires, nor account to Congress or the public as the law requires?

Answer: They both do. How do I know? Look at those advising Romney on foreign policy and compare them to those advising Obama. They are from the same internationalist Council on Foreign Relations! What a surprise!

You get the idea. The Judge has done us a good service by pointing out using his rhetorical questions how little difference there is between these two birds. Or as another wag has said: “the two wings of the same bird of prey.”
