Thanks for taking the time to provide your objective views in this recent article.
.
It's a subject worthy of our most careful consideration.
.
Your thoughts remind me that there are those of us who see Bush as representing a current that flows throughout all history in which a certain class of people live in isolation from all the rest of all civilization. And, these elitists seem utterly impervious to whatever anyone else thinks or does except that the hi-faluters know that there is a force out here with which they must reckon.
.
Apparently, they know that most of us are so involved in our day-to-day concerns that we are unlikely to take the time required to study any underlying facts of truth. And, of course, they aren't going to offer any knowledge of their ulterior motivations. They'll sail right along as though whatever. That is a good strategy for them to employ as it makes the opposition look as though we are just out to rock the boat.
.
But, this current in which Bush runs, has been there for a long, long time. And, we can trace it back through history. Sometimes it seems to dissipate into nothing; but, then, again, here it comes right at us--full force with Bush as the coxwain managing the helm.
.
There IS an historical context to the actions of Bush who plays the imp.
