The clearest evidence that we are premature in celebrating the demise of republicanism is that most of the local council seats in my district were won by republicans. now, i dont know if thta is beacuse people dont connect these local republicans with bush, or rather, because they continue to support Bush.
But, one thing is clear, a great majority of americans in 2004, having known about the lies of Bush, and his willingness to use american power to kill innocents, decided to relelect him, comforted in the notion that he was conducting a war on terror.
So who will penetrate this american psyche that is so easily maipulable to demonize its enemies, and is so willing to use all power and force to destroy anything that confronts its won brutal agenda, and pouch it all, in the notion that we are spreading democracy.
is there no linguist that democrats have, no political operative who understands the rhethoric and all its nuances , that can counter the republican spin machine of 05'?
My simple propistion is that it wont be as easy as you might think for reason and thinking people to take back america.
because, we have to look back and see, when was the last time thinking people formed a majority in america?
Me thinks it was a long time ago.
remember the demonized communists, and mccarthyism, and the japaenes internement camps.
America seems to thrive on demonizing enemies while promoting the military industrial complex at all human costs, at the cost of life itself, at the cost of humanity, moral values, anything that might stand in its wake.
Thats why the defense budget is larger than all other countries combined.
our priority remains the Militarism because that is what is at rotten in the state of america. It seems to have taken its hold on the american heart.
How then to cleanse this heart, and manifest the cleaner more philanthropic, tolerant side of the american persona?
well, for that, we must allow for the dirt to be cleansed off the dirty heart.
Clearly we have a schizophrenic american character.
Diagnosis:
Schizoophrenia.
Treatment:
Antipsychotics I.e. Howard Dean, and company.
SO here i propose that a new functional chracteristic of our democratic leaders must be to become our countries'
ANTIPSYCHOTICS.
