Now that Gonzales has passed committee on a party-line vote, it's time for us to pause and reflect on the lessons the GOP and their fanatical supporters have kindly taught us:

1. What we do is right because America is great (not the other way around)
2. Torture is justified when some people say so
3. Winnning an election means the right to not have to hear dissent
4. Advancing the cause of freedom around the world means sacrificing our freedoms at home
5. Shut up!
