In the absence of any really large, significant, undeniable vicdtory over some really dangerous legacy of the bushevik infection, a combination of declining life-style, increased costs, lower benefits, increased survaillance, and the alignment of the Dims with the class interests of the Banksters--all of which would comouflage the covert racial subtext--and the result could be a very large, potentially violent eruption of angry (mainly white) resentment and religious fundamentalist reaction...

that's what tuggin at my guts these days...

that and the Jeff Sharlet piece in harper's about the religious colonization of the military, especially the officer corps...

Hang in there, Woody...and try to lay off the James Kunstler.
