sorry, I can’t resist– it’s too funny.

[Bush’s] trust in America’s people is undoubtedly genuine, but his unwillingness to act on their behalf is responsible for our fading trust in him.

Seven years later and the LAT editors still think Bush trusts the American people? Bush doesn’t care what the American people think, and futher he and his kind have spent their tenure doing all they can to change our position in this country from citizens to subjects, for that’s how they view us.

There are those - like the LAT editors - who think that Bush is benign but incompetent; there are people like me who think Bush is competent enough at carrying out a malevolent, anti-democratic agenda. Just look at the results, and at Bush’s own self-satisfaction with them.

Bush has always radiated a sick, self righteous smugness to me. Like the belligerant frat boy who laughs at the weak or the poor, and who is incapable of telling the truth. He has always turned my stomach. And those who bought his phony shtick - his enablers - frighten me.

As for his enablers, do see Sara Robinson’s Who Goes Nazi?.

Thanks.
