George W. Bush will go down in history as a Putsch puppet in the hands of Cheney and Rove in the attempt by a Conservative cabal to overthrow the democratic government, a marionette whose strings were pulled by neoNazis. The use of fear, hysteria based on lies, innuendo, then accusations of unpatriotic thoughts, racial and cultural superiority, and the anointing by a superior culture based on a Christian foundation completes the ideological picture.
The fact that there is a core of Christian subversives who willingly fall for this myth is no different from the more educated German population of the 1930's. Those that knew the truth were systematically removed from influence until liberal and democratic became terms of derision.
We did not elect a black man to replace this disgrace in the White House. Any Democrat with a sense of public responsibility and the intelligence to be immunized from the virtual reality of political lure would have been elected. Luckily the minority, the sectarian. the educated, and hopefully the honest independent will serve all the people through whatever crises all the people will face together.
