It's not that they're stupid. It's that they are in the grip of a Good vs. Evil worldview that justifies any action at all in the service of "Good" and that demonizes any opposition as part of an Evil grouping. Thus Democrats and Republicans who oppose the Bush decimation of civil liberties become part of the side of Evil. And that same decimation is championed as an ultimate good. Greenwald's got a great book here, I'd strongly recommend it to anyone interested in trying to understand what's going on in the US these days and for the past six years. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Constitutional law expert Greenwald examines the George W. Bush presidency and its long-term effect on the nation, dissecting the rhetoric and revealing the faulty ideals upon which Bush built his policies. On September 12, 2001, Bush presented a clear view of what was to come--a view that can be said to define his entire presidency: "a monumental struggle of good versus evil." Based on his own Christian faith, Bush's worldview was basic and binary--and everyone was forced to choose a side. Riding high on public support, Bush sailed through the early "War on Terror," easily defining our enemies and clearly setting an agenda for defeating them. But once the war became murkier, support dropped precipitously. Greenwald argues that his greatest weakness is the same rhetoric that once propelled him forward. Now, Greenwald argues, Bush is trapped by his own choices, unable to break out of the mold that once served him so well.--From publisher description.
