Now it makes sense. Bush is NOT a conservative.

It's been sticking in my craw for a while now. Just how can a bunch of supposedly bright and educated people (no, not george) led by a supposed idiot, make so many mistakes, no not just mistakes, outright blunders?

It finally dawned on me. These are not conservative republicans. All this has been a conspiracy by the left. They think that is the conservatives can be made to look like such fools that they can't be trusted to stop at a red light, then people will turn to the progressives and change america for the better.

And you know what?

It's working.

10. anarchosyndicalism is not fascism
Edited on Sat May-22-04 03:13 PM by Alerter_
anarchsyndicalism is more like democratic unionism, it's always been considered "left". Bush is a classic fascist with a whole lot of fundie thrown in.

3. Funny. Actually, I expect to hear that next. They are already quite
regularily pretending that this is "liberal" philosophy because Wolfowits and Perle were supposedly radical liberals at one time.

They won't admit that their conservative wet dreams came true and they were the disaster progressives always predicted they would be.

4. Last night on Inside Washington, PBS, there was a rare moment of clarity.
Clarence King was defending John McCain against Charles Krauthammer, citing McCain's opposition to growing deficits.

No transcript, but like this:

King - "Since when is the Republican Party not the party of fiscal responsibility?"

Krauthammer - "Since Reagan. Politically it's a loser issue, and the Democrats can have it as far as I'm concerned."


Loose lips sink ships. :) (sometimes)

6. No kidding. He's a radical. I've been telling that to my republican
friends and they all agree, finally.

His foreign and fiscal policies are extremely radical and have nothing whatsoever to do with conservative positions. Nothing.

7. not a conservative. . .duh
he's a simplistic fascist boob who has induced a rather large percentage of the population into Stockholm syndrome. . .wherein one is lulled into a false sense of security by their captors/abductors. That's the only explanation I can figure for anyone who's still supporting this bozo.

9. Doing Bush's dirty work
is a lot like when you are a kid and you think it could be cool to break into a construction site and maybe throw bricks around..

but then one of the kids wants to load on the tools in the back of a bulldozer, hotwire it and ride it all over town, knocking down teacher's houses and the police station..

all of a sudden you realise he's handcuffed your hand to a steel railing on the Bulldozer.. and jumped off..

I don't think a lot of these right wingers wanted to go this far, especially when they realise Bush doesn't give two shits about whether they get re-elected or not.. hence all the hissy fits going around congress right now..


they realise they've been duped (unless they're already sold their soul to the devil, like Delay and others) and that they have to maintain the denial system as that's the only language being spoken in that part of the country..

I love it.
