It wasn't Iraq. It's not Afghanistan - at least for an increasing number of them. And the Global War on Terror doesn't exist anymore.
There's a new enemy: You. At least if you oppose government-run health care and speak up at town hall meetings.
"The war's on," Representative Baron Hill (D-IN) told the Indianapolis Star. And his opponents are "political terrorists."
Hill is not holding town hall meetings. Why? "I'm trying to control the event," Hill said. "What I don't want to do is create an opportunity for the people who are political terrorists to blow up the meeting and not try to answer thoughtful questions."
Hill is not alone. Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi believe that "drowning out opposing views is simply un-American." Just like Democrats argued when they condemned unruly Iraq War protesters.
