"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have noneed in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded bypatriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader andgladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar."
-- William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar"
I think Bush has MADE his presidency over this one shakespearean quote.
You say he's too dumb. I say he's not dumb enough. This man is a genius who has slowly eroded our rights, but we didn't care at first, we were in our patriotic fervor!
