You might have noticed the change in the subheader above, but it's worth calling out separately nonetheless. When people say that Bush is ignoring the real world and living in a little fantasy bubble created by Rove and company, it's not just this massively unfair typecast, as some on the right wil argue. It appears, instead, to be a dramatic understating of the situation. Reality is not disloyal or anti-American, as the Bushies claim - good or bad, it's how things are. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that believes that Bush's religious Messianic fantasies will only get worse if he manages to get reelected. There's another common phenomenon in which reality and fact are ignored, no matter how overwhelming, and loyalty to the will of the leader is held above all else. L. Ron Hubbard seems to have nothing on Bush - ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the cult of Bush.
So much for separation of church and state.
For those of us who are unwilling, there is an alternative. They don't make a card yet, but consider me a happy member of the Reality-Based Community.
