Conservative extremists have no shyness about suppressing voting or cheating on elections ~ even using blatant crimes to do so ~ because elections that are fair and open to all are vital for survival of democracy. How best to destroy democracy than to destroy fair elections, bankrupt the country and oppress its citizens hoping to start over with the system the Founding Fathers dispatched more than two centuries ago. For the past several decades right-wingers have constantly preached a "meritocracy" based on self-reliance for most of us while seeking an "aristocracy" based on inherited dependency for themselves.

It should be painfully clear that the Reagan-Bush-Bush extremist cabal has been overwhelmingly competent in camouflaging its visions and has been effective in advancing its goals by pursuing an anti-democracy philosophy. It's not Bush the man who has been so harmful, it's the extreme conservative agenda pushed by Bush.

GOP spin doctors claim that the Republican Party fell out of favor with American voters and lost congressional power in the 2006 elections because it was seduced by the inherent corruption of Washington, DC. Nonsense. The GOP was not corrupted by DC culture, it has been a fraud for several decades.

What troubling is that the Democratic Party doesn't seem capable of recognizing the true GOP agenda and trying to combat to it by alerting the population. And the only way "the media" could be considered allied with progressive politics is that the media have also been asleep regarding the true motives of regressive politics and a reluctance to say anything derogatory about the political right even when truthfulness is unquestionable. Should conservatives continue in power, future right-wing leaders will continue the Reagan-Bush-Bush drive to destroy a democratic America. They must be stopped once, again.

***************************************************** Thomas Bonsell is a former newspaper editor (in Oregon, New York and Colorado) United States Air Force cryptanalyst and National Security Agency intelligence agent. He became one of American journalism's leading constitutional experts through years of study at Georgetown University Graduate School of Government in Washington, D.C., and tries (without much success) to be patient with people who argue endlessly on subjects they have never studied. He is the author of "The Un-Americans: Trashing of the United States Constitution in the American Press", a critique of the mainstream media for ignorance of, or disdain for, our constitutional principles of self-government. He left newspaper work years ago, disgusted at the direction the Fourth Estate ~ under the mismanagement of ineffectual, out-of-touch, can't-do executives ~ was taking away from honest responsible journalism and the observation that there was no place in the mainstream media for a progressive, or liberal, constitutional "expert". Bonsell is an honors graduate of Woodbury College (Los Angeles, California) with a bachelor of business administration degree. He is profiled in Marquis Who's Who in America. (Self-portrait, above, was handled to make author/artist appear prettier than he actually is.) Personal motto: Have brain; will use.
