War!

Much is being made of the fact that America is in a "Waronterror" and all that goes with it. Personally, I think you need a longer lens to look at the whole mess. The election has shown that the American people, or 51% of them at least, have declared war on a shadowy enemy from the past.
That's right folks, step right up and meet

The War on The Enlightenment!

The joke's on those of us who tried earnestly and hard to convince people that Bush and Co. weren't trying to undo Clinton or bring about Reagan-redux, that they were aiming for Roosevelt's New Deal. Ha ha - that's so 2001!

My only fear right now is once abortion gets the death penalty (the ultimate in pro-life statements!), once they decree that all scientists have to publicly flagellate themselves every time they mention the word evolution, and they start beheading homosexuals in public, will they have enough time to declare a flat-earth or not? Worrying questions...
