I periodically receive Conservative Action Alerts in my in-box about the evils of the Democrats and the Obama administration. The recent headline was “Obama Expands Police State!” I fully agree with these assessments, of course, but my only question is this: Why did we rarely hear from conservatives during the Bush years about how Bush was making war on the Bill of Rights and expanding the police state with the Patriot Act, the TSA, and the DHS?
