Fear & Ignorance Wins
I can't believe it. I'm stunned & depressed.
So you've won. It's your world now. Go on do what you will with it. I predict a war with Iran within a year & nuclear war within 5 years.
Maureen Dowd of The New York Times:
"Bush got re-elected along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule. He doesn't want to heal rifts, he wants to bring any riffraff who disagree to heel. He ran a jihad in the US so he can fight one in Iraq, drawing a flock of evangelicals, or 'values voters' as they call themselves, to the polls by opposing abortion, suffocating stem cell research and supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.
"Bush, whose Administration drummed up fake evidence to trick us into war with Iraq, sticking our troops in an immoral position with no exit strategy, won on 'moral issues'. Bush says he's 'humbled'and wants to reach out to the whole country. What humbug. The Bushes are always gracious until they don't get their way ..."
She quotes Dick Cheney, the Vice-President: "Now we move forward to serve and to guard the country we love." Dowd adds: "Only Cheney can make 'to serve and to guard' sound like 'to rape and to pillage'. He's creating the sort of 'democracy' he likes. One party controls all power in the country. One network [Rupert Murdoch's Fox] serves as state TV. One nation dominates the world as a hyperpower. One firm controls contracts in Iraq ..."
