Just because someone resembles a socialist in
form does not mean they are socialist in
essence

They advocate a few social reforms while largely supporting the same regressive class initiatives that their counterparts do
I'd have to disagree with that statement: Every
small "social reform" is only setting precedent for larger ones that are built upon the
existing base. This is exactly the agenda that has virtually wiped out all freedom & liberty under the Constitution...Each small step they take beyond
their Constitutional limitations has only been built upon, chipping away at the very same Constitution that they're sworn to uphold. Even though
politics is all an illusionary veneer on top of their real agendas only shows that they do have agendas backing their actions. In politics, "form"
is an indicator of "function."
They like to say that "the end justify the means," but the real core truth is that "the means
defines the end." So if Hillary Clinton &
Nancy Pelosi
seem to act like socialists, then they probably are...If Bush's "form" indicates mental instabilities, then that's probably
what's in his skull. "Form follows function."

Ahinga, yes, I tend to think he has dementia...
Which I think was evident even
before he became President...Just take a good look at his record when he was the Texas Governor...
And then stop to consider
what kind of "education" these so-called, self-styled "elites" get...Normally referred to as Classical
Education," I've already written in
another thread (first entry of a
multi-post reply) about what I think of what's taught in Classical Education!

I'm glad that you noticed that I sometimes write in the same words spoken by my countrymen. Especially southerners. Sometimes, that's the best way
to get a point across. And if Mark Twain could do it and become so well respected, I guess I can too.
I'd have to agree...In fact, here's a couple of
Mark Twain quotes I dug up
that seems that he actually
knew Bush personally...
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure."
"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
...And one for Government, in general...
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress."

I am not saying Bush is an idiot because he certainly isn't; however, his presidency, in my opinion, has been hi-jacked by some individuals who have
nothing but ill intentions. He was not smart enough to see it coming and when it hit, he didn't know how to stop it. So, you know the old saying:
"If you can't beat em', join em." Unfortunately for him and America the most, that is what he has done.
Bush "joined them" because he's too much of a coward to set himself up for an assassination but not smart enough to avoid it when he would know
it's coming...After all, when JFK started weeding out the illegal Federal Reserve Bank (with
Executive Order 11110), JFK wound up dead: Perhaps he didn't fully realize that he
would be set up for assassination by "bucking the status quo" in the first place. At least JFK had the guts to stand up for what's
right,
instead of most Presidents who just buckle under.
If Bush is suffering from dementia, I'd have to say it's caused by the fear for his own life if he should actually
do what's right, instead
of promoting the evil that stands behind him.
