116. And today, with Bu$h in the drivers seat
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 10:31 AM by Jose Diablo
Bu$h being rightwing, he reinforces the antigovernment view. That the government cannot do anything correctly.

All this is an attack on the idea that the people should turn to the government to institute policies that better the human condition.

When viewed from the perspective of an agenda to destroy the publics trust in the government to do good for the people, then everything that has happened makes perfect sense.

Bu$h is antigovernment, and like a termite, he's eating away at the government's foundation. The idea that governments are instituted by the people, for the people. This is the rightwing agenda, to propagate the idea that the government is an unneeded parasite, rather than the idea that governments are the instrument that people use for their betterment.

But we are way off topic here.
