Notice that the original post by hedronist said that this was the worst rape of the constitution ever, not that bush was the worst president ever. Then JackieBrown's post--the one you are replying to--said no, greater violations of the constitution have happened under previous presidents, and provided examples. Your post is a red herring. The overall quality of Bush's presidency is not the topic at hand, it is his record on civil liberties.
Everyone's said stupid things once in a while, right? If he's willing to say that he was an idiot for advocating pervasive restrictions in the wake of such an event, I could let it slide.
An event like columbine, or say, 9/11...
It's important to make a big deal about things like this, but don't completely lose it over this.
Whether you "lose it over this" just depends on which party you belong to.

Yeah, lol! Not as many as Obama, though, because that post is now up to +5.

You seem not to know the difference between words and actions. Still good for +4, though...
