I believe I coined the word "bushevik" in a series of satirical columns I wrote for Buzzflash.com. If it was used by others before me, I was not aware of it, anyway. My thinking behind creating the term was 1) the Bush crowd seized power undemocratically like the Bolsheviks did in Russia and 2) I thought it would be a funny dig at these right wingers to point out to them how much they were like their nemesis in the USSR's early days.

Anyway, in one of my columns I wrote about how the Busheviks had renamed DC "Reagangrad", referring to the Soviets renaming cities after Lenin and Stalin.

This was, in my mind, me pushing the Bush crowd's ideological zealousness to an absurd level. Never in a million years did I anticipate that these loony tunes would actually want to do something like seceding and renaming their country "Reagan," but it just goes to show that reality is far stranger than fiction.

While they weren't in the Confederacy, the sentiments of many would have had them join the South if Union had not prevented it.

The one and only President whose daily event calendar was subject to astrological review and revision as "deemed necessary". So in the State of Reagan, who will be named Astrology Czar?

their ideology, like slavery across borders. I say REAGANLAND can be established somewhere very remote, a big colony or republic like other groups have done in the past. Their leaders have plenty of money, can buy a place. They need to leave, take their followers with them, thereby allowing a more cohesive USA that can begin building a strong future.
