You know those roaming packs of baboons on National Geographics?
The times they show the males displaying themselves and posturing and chest thumping and screeching and making aggressive lunges? Everytime I see these neocon bloviators or * and his sycophants, I am reminded of these displays of aggression and posturing. There's some thing very primal about the way this bunch reacts to the world. It's beyond concrete thinking. Their survival skills are buried deep in the primitive brain. Broca's brain.

are either gay or inadequate. It is all part of the mating mirror dance *ush does with his supporters. Think back to adolescence... think back to the exaggerations in having a gang to hang with who all reflect back your greatness because you as an individual (adult) do not exist.


The only other males with such display would be ones involved in actual warlike activities themselves like police or soldiers. Seems funny that Bush and his ilk do that. I mean..Powell never had to did he? Cause Powell was a real soldier and knew what real war was about. He didn't need to play-act.
