[Fridays Child]

Now THERE'S a thinking point! It's true, it resonates, and it could launch a thousand meaningful discussions--none of them good for Bush.

7. the fuckups and failures are by design

[Fridays Child]

9. If not by design, it's a fact, at least, that they do not care.

And that's even more frightening because it probably means that they do not intend to cede their power. Was what Frank Zappa said, many years ago, prophetic? Are we looking at the back of the theater, now?

The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.--Frank Zappa, 1977

10. either way its bad for America. I don't understand why people kept supporting him

this was either all by design, or they are really incompetent in a lot of areas.

Either way, BushCo is dangerous and should be removed.

11. No surprise here as 14 characteristics of fascism shows

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
