Some are more spineless than others. I know other Dem/Libs who have laid down the battle in the spirit of the moment. These are people of real courage as it is easy now to already to have been on Bush's side. It is harder for those with whom we differ idealogically to show restraint and yet they have. I admire them and have told them so.

"The sole task of the propagandist today is to support the will and policy of the government and to help anchor its laws in the people. To do that, it is necessary to keep informed on current events.

Not what was, but what is, that must be the center of the propagandist's work. The rapid pace of events forbids that we stay mired in the past....

National Socialism cannot be understood only from the rational point of view. The propaganda leader has the task of finding the proper emotional form to appeal to the inner nature of the various groups within the population. One must avoid getting lost in details. Propaganda must always avoid the mistake of becoming cramped. Rather, it must be "popular and its intellectual level must be at a level so as to be understood even by the least intelligent of those to whom it is directed." (Hitler: Mein Kampf)
