would a military dictatorship be easier to CAPTION?


U.S. resident George W. Bush speaks to U.S. military personnel in this June 18, 2004 file photo. Bush said on June 19, 2004 that the U.S. economy was gaining momentum and cited a drop in the unemployment rate in 46 states, as he sparred with Democrats over whether life was getting better for ordinary Americans. 'Time and again, our economy has defied the gloomy predictions of pessimists,' Bush said in his weekly radio address. 'America has added more than 1.4 million new jobs since last August. ... Americans are earning more, and because of tax relief, they're keeping more of what they earn.' (Larry Downing/Reuters)

W: ... and, we are going to give every citizen a mental health test; and, guess who gets to decide who will be locked up ... er ... I mean ... helped ...

4. "And, boy, is our military is great or what! Say there's like an enemy in
a country, then I say to the military, 'Go get 'em' and I tell the enemy to 'Bring it on,' which is just a ploy to fight them there rather than on American soil . . . then the military goes and gets them and the enemy, thinking I was trying to trick them with double psychology or smoking mirrors or something, the DO bring it on . . . so like we flank them and stuff and beat 'em to the punch . . . Some people say I don't have any understanding of combat . . . They're simply wrong . . . I say we flank 'em and get them from the rear . . . Wow! . . . I right on top of it."

8. "The only thing we have to fear is
fear itself. Well that and the killers. And the evil doers. And the liberals. And gay marriage, yeah gay marriage scares the piss outta me, as it should you. The Jews and Blacks are still fearsome, although maybe less so than in the past. And lets not forget steroid use - do you realize that baseball records unearthed in the post nuclear-Armageddon world will be filled with ambiguity! But anyway , as I was saying: we have nothing to fear but fear itself, and that other stuff!"
