So much for poor old Colin Powell who (in Part I) found himself between a rock and a hard place, trying to placate the impossible: the paradox of what he had written in his own words in his book and later serving that which he had abhorred in his own book. Yes, Bush was one of those favored sons Powell had gaffed in his book. Bush had been taking big flak from the Boston Globe, the LA Times and other large newspapers for years to answer for his long

Sometimes an old buddy of mine and I digress and descend to debate the inequities in the human race. You know, trying to make sense out of paradox. Neither of us has ever denied that great Orwellian proclamation: “Some animals are more equal than others.” Yet even though the speaker was a pig (as is the case with most dictators and self-declared Deciders) the truth of the matter is that it is hard to argue the point.

3. Invoke the Almighty when justifying acts of war against other sovereign nations.
So we begin this next part of this exercise by lying to the people about what is really going on behind the curtain of government. Which brings us to the fourth way to destroy our country:

Where do I begin? Religion is always a good place to start. So here goes:
1. Comingle issues of Church and State so that freedom of religion as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution becomes as fuzzy as a lint catcher in a Beaumont, Texas coin- operated washateria.
Sometimes politicians seek to mix religion and politics together in order to sway voters and exercise power. Jerry Falwell of Liberty Baptist Church in Virginia directed his Moral Majority, a Christian organization devised by him...
