Seriously, I'm utterly amazed he's lasted this long, what with the half dozen or so scandals he's faced this year alone. But if this doesn't turn some sort of overwhelming tide against him I'm sincerely of the opinion that we're all fucked.

Welcome to the consensus. Who said the country was deeply divided? No way. We're undoubtably fucked.

And it nicely illustrates one difference betwixt the left and right: When lefties try to keep the money in the family, they get $15,000 or $50,000. When DeLay does it, the bidding starts at $500 Large.

DeLay pretty much sums up the Republican Party at this point.

And until we can start making sentiments like this stick, there's almost no use in bitching about it. I had a realization the other day that if, with things like DeLay, Gas Prices, and Social Security, the Democrats can't win, then we need to all just pack up and go home.

Don't worry, though the revolution is about to be televised.

ive been meaning to get a post together for a couple days with some stuff about the neo conservative agenda and september 11th. for now, go and read this wikipedia entry on leo strauss, the guy who originated the neo-con agenda. if you dont want to read the article, heres a quote:
Strauss argued that contemporary liberalism was the logical outcome of the philosophical principles of modernity, as practiced in the advanced nations of the Western world in the 20th century, contained within it an intrinsic tendency towards relativism, which in turn led to nihilism, what he believed permeated contemporary American society. As Strauss saw it, "good politicians" need to reassert the absolute moral values that unite society and this would overcome the moral relativism that liberalism had created. To do so, they needed to propagate myths necessary to give ordinary people meaning and purpose as to ensure a stable society. Modern liberalism had stressed the pursuit of individual liberty as its highest goal, and Strauss wanted government to take a more active role in promoting morality. Perpetual deception of the citizens by those in power is critical in Strauss's view because the populace needs to be led; they need strong rulers to tell them what is good for them.
now thats scary.

That could've been written 500 years ago.

If anyone wants to hear a popular neoconservative get his ass handed to him, give this 1988 debate between Noam Chomsky and Richard Perle a listen. It wasn't exactly Perle's finest moment. :wink:

this is fucking awesome. who in their right mind would debate Chomsky? I mean, I don't always agree with everything he has to say, but the motherfucker is a robot! Anyone who can have the information has has just laying around his head must be rockin' the internal CPU. good for him.
