Bush may not be a religious fanatic but he ain't against social controls either

I don't believe George W. Bush, in his heart, is a religious fanatic. Nevertheless, he deserves much of the blame. By kowtowing to the Christian right for five years, he's taught them to expect subservience. By mouthing their code words in his speeches, he has given them a taste of a government that speaks for them, in their language. And by ignoring dissent, tampering with the media, punishing disagreement, and resolutely lying in the face of evidence, he has paved the way for the rule of illusion and propaganda, ideology and spectacle and faith-based reality, all safeguarded by the iron fist. In a word: Totalitarianism.

the fundamentalist christian right is merely bushco's means to an end and the end is to insure that sufficient mechanisms of social control are in place to keep the populace in line... what good is manipulating us with fear if you don't have a way to get us to do what you want us to do... and what does bushco want us to do...? it's very simple - the blind, unquestioning acceptance that those in positions of authority know best...
