I was relieved to hear from Rice that attacking Iran is not on the agenda. So what is?
It seems to me that the white house wants to rewind America about 100 years. They want to wipe out the social reform of the New Deal and every thing it became. Like social security and civil rights. Poverty programs and just about anything that helps to equalize the distribution of wealth.
But they have much more in mind. Evolution has to get out of education for as Bush stated "on the issue of evolution, the verdict is still out on how God created the earth". Now that presidential opinion is having far reaching consequences for students in public schools. Science is becoming a tricky subject for educators who fear protests from bible brained school boards. Creationist dogma that Genesis has the "answers" threatens geology and ; well, every discipline. You can't have real science under that constraint.
There's more. The white house has no use for any environmental conservation. Restrictions on pollution have already been repealed or ignored. Wildlife be dammed we want to sell oil is almost a motto.
They don't care about people that much either. Women should worry. Roe vs Wade is a corner stone of the entire women's right movement and the white house wants to repeal it. They also challenge the first amendment with FCC indecency rulings. How far back do they want to pull that line. And don't forget the administrations all out war on alternate life styles.
There is more than war on the Presidents mind.
