I Hope This Guy is Right
Tsunami '06: Totalize It, And Put A Stake Through The Heart Of This Monster, Once And For All
by David Michael Green

"There is the chance in 2006 to kill the abomination of contemporary American regressivism (what the right likes to call conservatism) altogether, wholly and decisively..

...A liberal hallucination? Perhaps. But, regressive conservatism generally, and the Bush administration particularly, has always been a house of cards waiting for even a slight wind to come along and knock it down. Many Americans would find themselves astonished at how fast the whole apparatus might crumble once a single card were removed. These guys will not have to be marched back to Berlin, block by bloody block. Rather, they have depended on an inherently unstable constellation of a compliant press, fears of external enemies, a remarkably incompetent 'opposition' party, and a generally tuned-out public, in order to continue convincing a sufficient number of people that the emperor is indeed wearing clothes."
