from comic books? All this talk in simple black and white terms with "You're for us or against us", "dead or alive", "freedom and democracy", "war against terror" which leaves no room for nuance and subtlety, and then is sold to the unthinking American populace?
Isn't this government by slogan, which has been conjured up by Karl Rove, and is then sung by the conservative radio stations' talk shows and the TV chorus of ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN and MSNBC, chanting "You may die", "They are out to get you", "Terrorists want to strike again", "We must strike hard"etc.
Do you get the feeling that you are caught in some kind of comic book insane asylum and are unable to get out, where you have the Joker, the Riddler and the Penguin running the US government, and most people are too dumb or busy to figure out what is going on? And we are being eavesdropped on by a bunch of incompetent characters straight out of Animal Farm with Cheney as Napoleon.
