Bush:: Caught in a Time Zone:: Old School, Old Advisors, Old approaches

[opihimoimoi]

It appears our CEO is in a Time Warp. From the Old School, he is attempting to shift the clock backwards by going about things in the old fashioned way:

Brute Force, Arrogant Approaches, Anger, Condenscending Unilateralism, Deception, etc

Because he doesn't read much, all the lessons available is missing from the equation. His mental foundation is terribly lacking. And it shows. Despite< and I have to assume this, repeated attempts at speech delivery lessons, he keeps blowing his lines, constantly groping, which can only mean the absense of sincerity.

If an NFL Coach has 3 losing seasons in a row..... its Hasta la Vista Baby.

WE need a new Coach............ a good one. lets go to the Super Nation, lets plan for one via a Super Prez, Super Leadership, Super Planning, and with Super Voting.

1. Yes, it's true.

When I first jumped onto the DU, I found out that most, if not all, of Bushya's advisers were recycled leftovers from his dad's administration. Before that, the same people were re-used parts from the Reagan era. Who says Ole Bush isn't in favor of recycling?

Seriously though, Half-wit Bush thought he had found a "tried and true" formula for governing a country through Reagan's example. This administration is a carbon copy of it. That includes cutting social programs to the bone.

Using military Keynesianism to starve every social program except the military. Funnel vast amounts of money to weapons build-up. Every facet of defense gets huge budget increases. Strangely, though, military pay has been cut.

Giving huge tax breaks to the rich so they can lend money back to the government and earn interest on it. The debt will be paid back by future generations.

So yes: take a look at the Reagan years, and you have today's administration. Including the people. The problem is, it didn't work then and it won't work now.

7. Go back to Nixon for some of them.

I am trying to remember where I heard this, probably here and please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Carl Rove involved with Segretti?

9. Cheney and Rumsferatu

also go back to the Nixon era. :puke:

[MuseRider]

12. Absolutely.

What is happening now has been in the works for a very long time. I think that is the scariest part of this for me. They have been very patient, working steadily to get to this point. Who knows what is next and whatever it is we are right now being prepared.

11. Conservative personalities are often nostalgic and dogmatic

Consequently they see "Reaganism" as that thing which "saved America" from the evils of failed socialism--LBJ's great society, and market manipulations--Nixon's wage and price freeze, and the crisis of national self-doubt--Carter's national malaise speech. So they worship him...

They return again and again to old solutions. Rumsfeld's fascination with mini-nukes and "more agile" forces is nothing more than what he was indoctrinated with in the late 50's thanks to Curtis LeMay, and Donald has been absolutely stuck on missle defense ever since.

Bush's fanatic and irrational faith in tax cuts is nothing more than a re-application of the Reagan era "Laffer curve."

15. Old PUBs never Die, They just get RICHER

2. and all the old information

that is sealed in Poppa's vault.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

3. But, it is the first time we've had a dictatorship...

...which makes me doubt whether we'll see any elections in 2004.

4. One of the most frustrating

aspects of this whole BushCo business, IMO.

Like they thought it worked really well the first time? :shrug:

[grasswire]

5. they do this to protect the "loyalty" problem

They have to use people on poppy's rolodex for everything. They probably have dirt on all of them just in case someone wants to go "off the reservation."

[supernova]

6. Loyalty at all costs is the issue

BushCo prize loyalty above knowledge or competence. Witness Condi still having a job. :eyes:

14. Chronic Delusion is a huge part of the Pub Foundation

Their whole structure is built on Fantasy

[buddhamama]

8. true.

unfortunately for us the same old advisors, the old approaches and policies bring with it the same old devastating effects.

bye bye George.

10. Yes, it's kind of like Jurassic Park...trying to revive the age of the

dinosaurs. All the twentieth century dirty industrial energy hangers on are trying desperately to extend their power and ancient products into a new age. Old dinosaurs make oil!

[opihimoimoi]

13. How desperately sad/pathetic the Pub Sheep out there still under the

SPELL of the NeoCons and Master Pubs.

They just don git it they are being used and abused. Many of them have family/friends in the War Zone and they still persist the validity of the BushCo Agenda.

The 9/11 Terrorist thing is a smokescreen for the looting of America. What makes the whole thing worse is the BLEEDING as well.
Our boys are taking a beating, mentally too.
