Thankfully, Restoration leaders toiled intelligently and mightily to undo much of the great damage done abroad, and to right the ship of state domestically as well, returning to the type of Constitutional rule that shone as a beacon and model for many societies abroad. It took more than a decade and a half to undo most of the damage done to our political system, but most citizens would agree that it has been well worth the difficult effort and has diluted the impact of worldwide Islamist terrorism.

But even in our more enlightened times, there still are, there always are, those forces frightened by major change and determined to try to control society through more draconian, authoritarian measures. They exist in all three major parties. We all must resist that backward-looking movement with all our might, lest we return someday to a situation as bad or even worse than what history has revealed about the administration of Bush the Younger. #

Bush is the restoration

In the 1930s something like 30% of the American public were socialists and communists.

In the 1960s we unleashed a great process of societal transformation.

Bush is the Restoration, he is destroying social security, destroying all vestiges of liberalism in the government, and has done all in his power to place government entirely in the service of the rich and privileged.

We don't need a restoration, we need a revolution.

We have shown the ability to conduct revolutions by peaceful means and thereby to achieve lasting results.

The left needs to reinvent itself as a revolutionary, non-violent movement dedicated to the radical change needed to achieve social justice in this country.

I'm a white male, single,with two grown children. My passion is to dispel the false doctrines being propagated by the pretnd christians fascists. I actively comment to blogs about this subject. I've been retired since 1974, so I'm told, and intend to establish the longevity record for receiving Social Security benefits. I've lived outside the country for about 12 years altogether and travelled extensively. I'm unable to continue living outside the U.S. due to health insurance...

I think you're too much of an optimist. You got it absolutely right about the implementing of a soviet-fascist government. If the corporatist's decide that the Chinese model for Capitalism is more advantageous for their ends they will attempt to install that model for the USA. This will happen before any restoration, for the sake of argument.
