Entry: Where The Grapes Of Wrath Are Stored Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/where_the_grapes_of_wrath_are_stored#25343 Post contents: Bush ran and won in 2000 on a platform of "humble" foreign policy and generally smaller, more modest, less intrusive federal government. We were attacked on 9/11 as a result of our belligerent foreign policies, and suddenly Bush's entire platform goes out the window? Born and bred a snot-nosed scion of few principles, intellectual or otherwise, the empty vessel Bush, who had always been cushioned from the reality of his own incompetence by his string-pulling clan, in his role as president was quickly surrounded by a pack of Straussian Neocon Trotskyites in a city that has been impacted by other political currents in the Marxist vein for decades. Combine this malign influence with the forces of greedy big business as epitomized by the military-industrial complex, big media, and the military services industry, throw in crackpot "faith-based" theories of Empire, Zionism and privatized occupation technocrats "remaking" the middle east, and package it all in a pretense of "fighting terrorism and spreading freedom and democracy," and what do you call the resultant witches brew? The worst, most parasitic components of a "diverse" America (religious, political, cultural, economic, ideological and otherwise) have descended upon Washington and this selfish, ambitious, delusional, bickering tower of Babel has produced America's insane, incompetent, blundering foreign policy (and its insane domestic policy as well.) I don't think the label has been invented yet that describes this poisonous stew, but I call it Red-fascism. Sent at: 2008 12 02
