Unentitled And Pissed Off

Here is a link to an opinion piece from Andrew Sullivan.



Here also is a link to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of Fascism.


Andrew Sullivan is a man who has supported traditional conservative policies for many years, until he began to understand that the Cheney/Bush and friends cabal, has actually used their Conservative imprimatur to undermine the basic principles of genuine conservatism, in order to confuse the public sufficiently to gain support for what is not true Conservatism, but for what is essentially Fascism. All I can do is to make it easy and convenient for you to take the time to check out the meanings of the terms.

Of course it is natural that you would rally to the defense of those in which you have had faith and supported. I only ask that you consider some dissonant evidence, and as objectively as you can, re-evaluate your opinions and re-evaluate what you will do and say in your sphere of influence.

I understood what I considered conservative principles for years. That was when the word "conservative" connoted responsibility, carefulness, incremental change, don't through the baby out with the bath water, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In recent years, the term Conservative took own a very different connotation. An early change came about with the juxtaposition of the word "compassionate" with the word "conservative".

It was a brilliant marketing strategy. Who could argue with the idea that someone who embodied a conservative approach to leadership, that is to say a person who professed to take a go slow, incremental approach to change, also embraced a point of view that whatever incremental change that would be made would be implemented with the full understanding and acceptance of the needs of those who could only rely on the Compassion of those who had it in their power to help them.

This is the sick reality of Rove and Cheney.

When again will the charge of Shame carry sufficient weight to discredit and remove such people from significant influence?
