internet, not just on the Right either. Thanks for explaining where it came from.

So much of the language has an eerie resemblance to (Godwin Alert) Nazism. 'Homeland' and 'Patriot' act. It's as if they studied the techniques of that dreadful era and decided to try them on US.

What is most astonishing to me is that ANYONE bought the 'cowboy' act. Bush was not even a good actor, he comes from a long line of Northeastern Elites, far, far from cowboys and ranches. But it's frightening to think that all he had to do was purchase a ranch, no cattle, no horses (he was afraid of horses according to reports) put on a cowboy hat and boots, and half the country never questioned the phony 'tough cowboy act'. Talk about STAGING.

After his job for the MIC was done, he sold the ranch and I haven't seen any cowboy hats or boots since he left the WH.

We are being scammed, constantly. But at least SOME of us didn't fall for it.
