A scathing take on the Chimperor, reinauguration festivities and America’s hawkish neocon war plans by Mike Carlton of the Sydney Morning Herald.
“He’s in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this,” [Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, one of the two Pentagon undersecretaries under Rumsfeld] told a prayer meetin’ in Oregon just a while back.
Be very afraid.
When will a sufficient majority of progressives realize that logic does not work with Americans who think like Boykin? They blindly believe in the divine Christian right to rule this earth, all inferior races and godless white people be damned. No amount of reason or appeal for mercy can overcome such irrational and hateful zeal. One of the ways out of this is for us not to get our minds caught up in such thinking, especially when it comes to the issues in which we believe.
