As I Said, If You Don't Stand

On The Contrary, It Might Even Be A Projection Of What The Truth Is Of The Bush Administration's Complacency And Ineptitude On The Terrorism In Its First 9 Months In Office.

In A Sense, George W. Bush Has Used The Tragedy Of The Terrorist Attacks Of September 11th And The Nightmarish Expansion Of His Idea Of A War On Terror To Overshadow His Actual Conduct In Office On The Redistribution Of Wealth Upward Through Progressive Tax Cuts That Actually Penalize The Vast Majority Of The Public, And Shift Their Resources To A Narrow Band At The Very, Very Top.

The Bush Administration, And Particularly Bush's Chief Political Strategist And Deputy Chief Of Staff, Karl Rove, Have Been Expert In Both Galvanizing And Mobilizing The Fears And Resentments Of People. A Good Part Of Their Politics Consists Of Being Against Others Who Are Defined In Stereotypical Terms. These Others Don't, In Actual Reality, Exist. The So-called Democratic Elitists, For Example, Are A Stereotype Who They Can Hate. Anyone Who Watches Fox News Or Listens To Rush Limbaugh Knows That This Hatred Of The Other Is At The Core Of Their Politics.

It's Absolutely Crucial For The Democrats To Have A Sense Of Their History, Of Who They Are, In Order To Be Able To Project Their Values And Stand Up For Them.

And Louis Freeh Was A Completely Dysfunctional Fbi Director, Who Was Actually Waging His Own Private War Against The Clinton Administration.
