If you care to do a little reading, the McCarthy "witch hunts" may have went a little overboard with it's abuse of power, but it wasn't completely off base. One of the basic tenets of the Soviet agenda was to subvert us from within, using like-minded individuals, wittingly or unwittingly, to further their agenda. Actors, labor unions, media, etc.So, Dubya is a good president just because we don't live in Bartertown? (Yeah, that's right, it's a Mad Max reference.) That is false logic. I demand more from my president. This article is just a bunch of non-coherent statements put together to resemble an intelligent point...but it fails at that attempt. I agree with Benjay - not worth the bandwidth.
By the way, does anyone remember when the word 'God' was put in the Pledge of Allegiance? 1954. Not that long ago. It was a reactionary idea put in place during the McCarthy witch hunts. Basically, we wanted to show that we weren't like those 'godless communists.' Funny part is, the Pledge was written by a socialist. Ah, that's good stuff.
Just my 2 cents...
Also, while I believe that Bush has made some serious mistakes in several areas, one of his best characteristics is that he couldn't care less about his own popularity. He didn't change his stance to win the last election. He has his beliefs, and he sticks to them.
