My post on the Randi Rhodes Show message board 7/14/05:

OMG. I can't believe Rove is gonna skate on this. Once again Orwellian tactics of "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery" and "Ignorance is Strength" win the day. It's hard to stave off the deep despair I feel hovering over me. I thought we really were gonna win this time. Bastards.

Regardless of whose side you're on, Karl Rove's lasting legacy will be the elimination of any civility or genuine discourse on the issues in American politics. He has ingrained a third-world, amoral "Win By Any means" methodology into the process of Federal government which sadly will persist, regardless of which party is in power. There is no legitmate discussion of the issues any more, only character assassination and shrill partisanship. What's best for America in all this is completely lost and no longer even considered. The greater good no longer matters; only winning is important now.

The only thing keeping me "on the bridge" for now is the faint hope that one day soon their arrogance will get the best of them and the NeoNaziCons will all get the comeuppance they deserve. America is horribly diminished in so many ways because of their poor stewardship.

I pray that someday soon all of America will see these men for who and what they really are. I long to see their arrogance humbled; their transgressions punished; their ideology discredited. I pray for this insane war to end and for America to turn from the catastrophic path on which its "caretakers" have placed it.

Please God let it be so.
