I once heard that the two most contributory behaviors that determine the course of outcomes over which we humans can exert control are the following: (1) Ignorance, and (2) Ineptitude. Ignorance can descend on anyone. It often is brought forward when the value of examining the facts is ignored. And Ineptitude is a basic trait, one in which the human individual just ignores what is going on - or rationalizes to justify their inaction. The reasons are varied, but the result is the same. So there you have it. It seems we all possess, in abundance, behaviors that can bring our world down upon our heads.

If we apply this observation to the Bush Administration's war on Terror, that observation seems to be proven true. The Bush bunch seized on an opportunity presented to them on 9/11. When this tragedy occurred they saw not the need to protect America from those that wanted to bring us harm; no, what they saw was an opportunity to implement their New American Century Ideals that had been hatched up years earlier. The Bush Administration is loaded with Neo-Cons who saw in George Bush the perfect dolt, a modern day Julius Caesar wannabe, easily manipulated, and blissfully unaware of his shortcomings. Their plan was to implement these Neo-Con Ideals for World domination. And don't forget what the Neo-Con view of a World Order with themselves in charge looks like. They see a fertile field open for the sowing seeds that will yield a harvest of Profit, Power, and absolute authority.

And those Neo-Cons know well the actions required to till this field. Enhance the ignorance of a significant percentage of the people thru the use of well-constructed propaganda and you can count on the ineptitude of the many to aid in the implementation of the Neo-Cons murderous plan for World domination.

1. His wacky Dispensationalist Calvinism has no place

in the public sphere. The only way we of such diverse backgrounds and belief systems (or lack thereof) can cope with each other is by agreeing that we are a nation of laws, not of men, not even men who claim they're being directed by their gods.

His screwball religion says he's been saved and will go to heaven no matter what he does on earth. The only brakes that can be applied to his reckless behavior lie within the secular laws.

Applying them is absolutely necessary to our survival.

3. Sure. Why not? As long as he is a............................

republican it's OK with me. At least that appears to be a republican value. Look at all the Libby letters saying perjury is OK because he's a nice guy and has kids.

NOT!

5. Bush has ALWAYS---cf. DUI's, AWOL status, drug use---had CONTEMPT for laws.

He already DOES choose which laws to obey. He HATES obeying any that "infringe" on his personal desires, that THWART him.
