“We will never show weakness in the face of these people who have no soul.” Turning this into a crusade is among the worst ideas I’ve ever heard. Bob Woodward’s book is selling like hotcakes over at my favorite bookstore and it’s thanks to the megalomania and general blindness that Our Leader has exhibited, from day one. Even those who supported a war now say, had they known how it would be run, they would not have supported one done like this. (see Matt Iglesias and D-Squared for background).
On the other hand, it may be a popular mistake. I got a pre-recorded message about how the MA supreme court had gone against the will of God and we’d have to show up at the state house to remind them that church and state were meant to be unified, or something. Now, I know Mr. Meeks is an antidisestablishmentarianist, but I’m still in (polite) disagreement that the combination of the Anglican church with the British state has been any better than having the two of them apart. I mean, you’d still have nationalist upheavals, but at least they wouldn’t be religious and nationalist.
I admit I only added that last bit because I wanted to say “antidisestablishmentarianist.” Let history judge my love of big words as it may.
