Thursday, May 25, 2006 America's Hitler: Part V
Bush's hubris and sense of personal, imperial entitlement. Bush, like Hitler, believed he was chosen by God to lead his country. Why then have things gone so badly for him? Why then has virtually every decision he has made been the worst one possible?

Monday, April 10, 2006 Americas gods: Money, Materialism, and Militarism,
In America our motto is In God we trust, but what do our self-professed Christian leaders and most Americans really trust to keep us safe? Is it God, or is it the superiority of our weapons in both their number and in their power? Is it God, or is it our ability and eagerness to make war, our unequalled capacity to kill and destroy?

Thursday, November 10, 2005 Smarter Than We Are
Willfully delusional Americans may believe America still maintains the same values and goals it did fifty years ago, but as was demonstrated by the reaction of the people of Latin America to President Bush's visit last week, the people of the world know better. And, for good reason!
