I Knew God Was There For Something.

Ship of fools: Johann Hari sets sail with America's swashbuckling neocons http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/linkframe.php?linkid=38652 "...everyone agrees the Muslims are devouring the French, and everyone agrees it's funny – the usual suspects are quickly rounded up. Jimmy Carter is "almost a traitor". John McCain is "crazy" because of "all that torture". One of the Park Avenue ladies declares that she gets on her knees every day to " thank God for Fox News". "...All the tropes that conservatives usually deny in public – that Iraq is another Vietnam, that Bush is fighting a class war on behalf of the rich – are embraced on this shining ship in the middle of the ocean. Yes, they concede, we are fighting another Vietnam; and this time we won't let the weak-kneed liberals lose it. "It's customary to say we lost the Vietnam war, but who's 'we'?" the writer Dinesh D'Souza asks angrily. "The left won by demanding America's humiliation." On this ship, there are no Viet Cong, no three million dead. There is only liberal treachery. Yes, D'Souza says, in a swift shift to domestic politics, "of course" Republican politics is "about class. " When did Conservatism become synonymous with ignorance, buffoonery, and a general low level of awareness? Remember, Ann Coulter is a "darling" of something. What a dark beast it is that has sat down in our front parlor!! (The beasts are correct about fighting another Vietnam. The poor swine will keep on fighting it over and over and over again. They will be condemned for their ongoing spilling of innocent blood on the garment of Jesus and be condemned to wander the universe forever, forever seeking and, when they think they have found, forever killing...never reaching, never attaining...a Narrenschiff ( ship of fools) sailing on a plaguey miasma.)
