“I wonder what most here would think was more dangerous....”
The problem is the elevation of politicians, including the president, to unreasonable levels of trust.
W is not some god of a greek epic, toiling, unappreciated, for the common good. He is a politician. It is your patriotic duty to be distrustful of all politicians of all stripes, especially when they spend taxpayer money and reduce the freedom of the citizenry.
Too many have elevated W beyond the politician he is. They can’t see the disaster he created for America through his actions and inactions. These folks are easy to spot, as you have found. They’ll figure it out eventually though, they aren’t bad people - they just don’t understand what is now ahead of us as a result of W’s presidency.
I have pretty much lost my faith in politics.
Politics is not “Here’s what you are supposed to do, and if you don’t you’ll look down the barrel of a gun”
Rather it is “Here’s what I want you to make others do, and if they don’t, and you aim a gun at them, I won’t complain”
Kinda Spoonerish, I guess...
