---In the wake of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Biden did, in fact, champion an anti-terrorism bill similar to the one now before Congress (though it was, as he complains, badly watered down by anti-government conservatives and leftist civil libertarians). And Biden doesn't let you forget it. "I introduced the terrorism bill in '94 that had a lot of these things in it," he bragged to NBC's Tim Russert on September 30. When I spent the day with him later that week, Biden mentioned the legislation to me, and to several other reporters he encountered, no fewer than seven times. "When I was chairman in '94 I introduced a major antiterrorism bill--back then," he says in the morning, flashing a knowing grin and pausing for effect. (Never mind that he's gotten the year wrong.) Back in his office later that afternoon, he brings it up yet again. "I drafted a terrorism bill after the Oklahoma City bombing. And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill." You don't say.---
Most Liberals 7-8 years ago: "We've got Hitler in the White House"!!! Most Liberals today (after Patriot Act strengthening and multiple re-signings, after indefinite detention, after NDAA etc. etc. etc.): "We must have these measures to protect American Lives". "Why is anyone surprised that this is going on, it's been going on for years, this is just the ongoing fight against terrorism."
Did you even read this thread?Were you alive 7 or 8 years ago?

Another example of how moderate I am, I was against it then, I'm against it now.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
Pro Tip: Preface all of your e-mails with "I am a woman contemplating my sacred right to birth control and abortion." The government will butt right out. Apparently, it's the only right to privacy that liberals still respect.
