Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Merchants of Death, The Politics of Perpetual Fear (6 comments)
For forty years we were sold fear on a repeating loop. The unseen enemy was the communist and they hated America. It was a great model but it died when the USSR collapsed.

In his sixth State of the Union George W. Bush left no doubt that he exists in a vacuum of his own making; where up is down and black is white. He should just rename these speeches State of Denial and be done with it. Either way, he continues his precipitous slide toward the darker pages of American history seemingly oblivious as to how to stop himself.
