Yes, he is listened by the Bush Administration; they like him maybe as much as we do: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1085464/posts?page=6#6

I would never have imagined that journalists, academics, actors, artists, and the intelligentsia in general would have so opposed the end of dictatorship and promotion of democracy abroad.

They - journos, the intelligentsia, academics - are children, whining little children, and it is all about POWER to them, consequences to the nation be damned!

As has been suggested here many times, keep the adults in charge. Re-Elect President Bush.

Bombs going off in Manhattan or stuck in a tunnel while cops search every truck? Either way, Bush is the problem. Either he foolishly went into Iraq and let down our guard, or he is trying to scare us into believing that a nonexistent terrorist is under every bed. The television still blares about suicide bombers and repugnant thugs tormenting bound hostages? Surely Bush set them off. The proper response? Presto! Elect a less confrontational John Kerry, and thus cease a long, difficult war to defeat and to discredit all who would embrace such odious ideas.

Sadly, I sense the possiblity of that happening is increasing. Trying to keep the faith that Bush will be re-elected gets harder with every media driven poll or anti-Bush story.

What I am afraid is happening is too many people are going to decide just what VDH says: to make all the bad news go away in a instant, elect Kerry. Then we won't have to listen to it because the MSM will just stop talking about the problems and we can focus on the important things in life, like watching Simple Life 3: Whores at Sea.

war, sacrifice, or even the mental fatigue about worrying over such things wear on us. So we construct, in a deductive and anti-empirical way, a play universe that better suits us.

The heart of the Rat "antiwar" movement is F-E-A-R, and caving-in to fear.

There's nothing moral or noble or courageous about it.
