You read that right. George Walker Bush may be the most important president for the democrats since FDR.
Unsuspectingly, republicans have delivered a great gift to the Democrats - a uncontroversially stupid president. No, I admit, it sounds stupid, but if republicans could move back in time they would because they've made an immense tactical error (:subliminal:and you plan to remind them in November:) that will surely wreak havoc on their strategic vision of world domination via a fascist theocracy. Bush is the unwitting poster boy for everything the Democratic Party stands against and Democrats must spend all that hard earned and expensive 'stupid capital' before the Republicans do.
Stupid's unexpected but extraordinary gift is the full attention of America's conscience. America has taken stupid by the horns and looked into its cold eyes and does not like the simplistic plans, treacherous politics and extreme outcomes. We see a carefully crafted, well oiled system that birthed this politician - a cold and calculating corporate limited liability machine, rather than a government for the people. We see our environment and the world exposed, often unilaterally, to its will at the people's expense. We see rabid assaults on some or our greatest social achievements. We see cronyism - rampant, unabashed cronyism. We see a world ever more dubious of our intentions.
We see the parallels between the beneficiaries of the war machine - and the war machine itself.
Thankfully, the internet is a great weapon for democracy and is dealing its blows. More tellingly, the corporate propaganda machine is failing to hide the truth from the people and the monster is slowly being revealed. Apathy is waning and Democrats stand ready to wield the greatest weapon - the collective will of the people. The gift of democracy will speak and America will rise again stronger, smarter and more respectful of itself and the world.
