ROFLMAO God, that is hilarious! You Neo-Cons are so desperate to spin away your guilt from having humped this administration’s leg for so long that you’re regurgitating like you were a 6-year-old with Tourette’s. You just can’t help yourselves; you’re too far gone. You have no one to blame but your shameless selves and your false-Texan, Connecticut-born, cokeheaded, jackass of a misleader.

Some sincerely believe in the rapture and are encouraging war in the Middle-East so as to bring on Armageddon. Others are either racists or simply believe in American hegemon in the region. And still others just want the oil. And they all are using fear and ignorance to achieve their goals.

You’re also confusing government spending with government power. Large social programs like Social Security for example, do not equate to government intrusion. The Terry Shavio case demonstrated that.

The media is in the pockets of big business, the same ones who profit from “spreading democracy through war.”
