it is just this administration.
The silent majority here is still sane.
But you are right, now that they have figured a way to manipulate our system and take control, ( they are also in a move to make the minority voice not heard)
I mean when it was time for clinton to say the judges, Republicans did everything they could to disruopt that process for more than 6 yrs, now that they cant get it done with the religious right wingm they want to cry foul and ONCE AGAIN TRY TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
Bush will go down as the worst president in history.
Problem is some of his " reforms" will make McCarthy era look like a kindergarten game

I am not so sure about the sanity of the silent majority.
The silent majority, after all, is responsible for the likes of Nixon and Reagan.
To give credit where credit is due - Rove is not just a marketing genius, he's a master at recycling. Making homa-seckshuals the niggers of 2004 (along with the fellow travellers who further their well know agenda, Mr. biasedlibleramedia and Ms. liberalactivistjudges) enabled him to kindle fear in the hearts of a great many of that silent majority, and by changing just a few words enabled the reuse of political rhetoric very close to their hearts.
This rhetoric that will take a decidedly uglier turn if and when they get themselves enough judges to overturn Rowe, Brown, Miranda, et. al; find the Voting Rights Act of '64, the Clean Air Act, the Water Protection Act, OSHA etc., unconstitutional; keep the newest niggers (homa-sexshuals) in the closet where they belong ('cause I doubt the bedroom will be safe for long); and spare a few efforts for uppity women and African Americans, even if the cost of doing so means working with the spics. The first shot at women in uniform was fired recently in the House Armed Services Committee, where changes they enacted without negotiation, consultation (except maybe with Jezuz), or forethought would have negatively impact our ability to support the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, had they not backed down at the last minute.
The 180 degree turn that the Pharasevenangelicals have done on judges is by no means alone. Compare the speeches of the bobble-heads regarding intervention in the Balkans to what they said about intervention in Iraq. Think back on the ridicule that they have heaped on the likes of Jimmy Carter when he suggested that democracy might be as good for residents of the 3rd world as it was for them. Think how loudly and hysterically they screamed about minority rights when they were in the minority.
You can put your trust in the silent majority if you want to. Me? I've been to more gun shows in the past year than I have in the 25 that preceded it.
