why it's howdy doody time.
well no, not really, but sometimes, even without Reagan it seems to be. Bush is not that different. Tapes are released suggesting that he used cocaine, lsd, psilocybin, marijuana during his twenty-somethings. And what does the media do with the story?? Spin it to say, oh how cute he was. What is it with these people that they just can't bring themselves to honestly criticize this man and his handlers? He is surrounded by gay men in positions of power, and they rail against homosexuality. He is surrounded by war mongering fascists and they claim that they are fighting for democracy and freedom. He is surrounded by the greediest most corrupt government officials and they suggest that ethics are a liberal plot to overthrow the country.
We as a nation are struggling with reality. We are being forced to simultaneously hold the most contradictory of positions--that corporate corruption is good as long as it helps the wealthiest people retain and increase their wealth and that making war on the world is efficient in projecting the ideals of this same corruption to all other nations. Yet we are also asked to retain good christian values. What was that story in montana? A hate crime bill can't be passed because it might restrict evangelical fundamentalist clergy's hate speech. Talk about fascist thinking..
