Where is our dipstick President?

That's how I've felt for quite a while now. Bush bots be damned, we have a country to protect and (my words) idiot Bush isn't doing it. From Miers to Dubai to Illegal Amnesty, the final nails are in Bush's presidency and I for one (and I'm sure I'm the only one) wish his term were already over.

You have an outstanding and educational home page about modern propaganda techniques! Here's one the White House Kool-Aid drinkers love:

# 5. Name Calling: This is officially the oldest trick in the book. It is cheap and easy. Often immigration reform activists are called anti-immigrant, people who are against state sponsored racism are called "racists" themselves. Name calling clouds and confuses issues, and when repeated by enough people on one side of an issue, creates a weight of its own, which isn't really there, but must now be explained before the victim "may" have an opinion regarding the issue in question.

Example: By saying that the population is growing too quickly, many people assumed she was a racist.
