This is what quite simply amazes me about the American "public".

Conviction by their leaders seems to be what hypnotizes the people into a comfortable state of zombie-ism, until something starts going wrong with their own financial situation.

"Better to be strongly wrong than weakly right". Or : I'd rather not think for myself, but let the words of others rally me. Appeal to my emotions, not reason.

Conviction has been the hallmark of any number of dictators, including a few particular German and Italian examples in the 1940s.

The Republicrims intentionally used a seemingly moderate, unthreatening phony front presented by bush in 2000 to fool the moderates, then unleashed the pitbulls. Why are people fooled by such nonsense ? All it took was replacing a counterbalancing Senate majority, and the salivating began. One party rule is terrible, regardless of which party is in charge.

This shrubbian deception makes slick willie's philandering look like a Sunday school prank. The consequences will be far more severe. The cycle will turn back, but after how much damage done ?

Can Greenspan manipulate the economy enough to save a second term for shrub ? TWT, but if so, the reckoning will still not be far afield.

Republicrims are declaring outright class warfare, and hiding it behind the chief chickenhawk's absurd flyboy stunts. I read that people loved this stunt. Which people are those ? None that I know. Jesus, what kind of idiots do we raise here ?
