Again, it's amazing how sensitive liberals become to concentration of power when the other party has it, and how relaxed they are about it when their party has it.

You're only counter to that was pushing that one single book up in front of me, and ignoring forty years of history with both parties clawing for power.

I think I challenged you recently to find one major liberal voice in politics, media, or other venue that raised a concern about too much concentration of power during Clinton's first couple of years (Prior to that, the Democrats pretty much ran Congress for decades, and the primary function of Republicans was to fetch coffee.)

Good luck finding such a voice. You see, to liberals, this was the way it was supposed to be. The right people were running things now. Those were their airplanes in the military now.

If the Democrats took both Houses back, and won the Presidency in 2008, there would not be one liberal voice calling out to make sure there was "balance" in government.

Only a very few sophisticated people worry about absolute power when the guys in charge are seen to be just like them, with the same views and same goals. Democrats are no different.
