The collapse of Karl Rove
The Pygmalion strategist from Texas built up the Republican Party by exploiting the religious right -- and now his handiwork is crumbling.
By Lou Dubose [2007-08-14]

  • "Come on, people, fight. Have you forgotten how?"

    I think, Jim H, that the sad answer is "Yes."

    "As I said previously, the trouble with this administration is that they make paranoia seem reasonable."

    And I think that this observation from Rich Miles goes hand in hand with the above. Yes, there are so many people who really believe(d) that Saddam Hussein, bin Laden, and/or the Iraqi insurgents are such a threat to our way of life (isolated, ignorant of real danger, and materially comfortable) that ANY action is justifiable to accomplish whatever our president says is necessary to overcome them. We as a populace, I think, HAVE forgotten what the formerly self-evident truths and creator-endowed rights are that actually define(d) our way of life, and were once widely considered worth dying for.

    It's just another form of fundamentalism to complement their theological one. A lot of real, otherwise rational citizens hold it very dear. Karl Rove is no greater danger than they are.
