Free Market Fetishists Against Bush
. . . Bush is a second-rater. He's not even a good liar. He has a tin ear and his urge to dictate is not tempered by any realistic frame of reference. He has no knowledge of economics, has never vetoed a single bill, has reportedly talked out loud of America as an "empire,' tolerated military torture, ruined even more of the country's ailing freedoms with such obviousness and carelessness that even the dimmest citizens are somewhat uneasily aware of it. In addition to all that, his designation of bureaucracies ("Homeland Security,' for instance) after 9/11 has been horrendous. Does he believe the institutional memory of World War II and Nazi terminology has faded from American consciousness? It has not. He is wrong. But he is wrong about many things.
