COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."
Talk to the hand.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that we're going home?
ReplyDeleteWe're Going Home!
We're Going Home!
Oh my God, we're going Home!
How soon?
ReplyDelete(Counting to herself.)
ReplyDeleteAbout three months.
To bad Cheney has no credibility. He should just slip slide away.
ReplyDeleteLike the snake he is.
Bless you Trish.
ReplyDeleteHome is the best place to be.
Cheney's MESSAGE is dead on...
ReplyDeleteregardless of anyone's opinion about the messenger...
If Dick's lips are moving, he's lying.
ReplyDeleteHis Team had the helm for eight years and left US less secure than when they signed on to the watch.
That's the bottom line.
I think Cheney and Obama need to stop bickering and make up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they could go duck hunting.
Dick Cheney does no good speaking out at this time. Those who are receptive to his message don't need to hear it, they are already convinced. Those who are opposed to it, use it as an example to promulgate Obama's "I inherited all this from Bush" theme.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bush put together his initial cabinet, he was universally praised on both sides of the aisle. The team (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell, etc.) were recognized as intelligent and experianced. Unfortunately, the one thing they could't do is to play together well. As agroup they turned out to be disfunctional and Bush's "gut instincts" weren't sufficient to force them into working as an effective team.
