What I find most ironic is that the Republicans claim to be champions of laissez-faire capitalism and hold Ayn Rand as one of their philosophic mentors. All the while they have formed an anti-rationalist alliance between the Religious Right(Rand's Mystics of Faith"Do as we say because God said so.") and the Neocons(Rand's Mystics of Muscle,"Do as we say or we'll beat/torture/kill you.") building the edifice of the Corporate/National Security Police Surveillance State.
Bush and his henchmen have accomplished in 7 years what Osama bin-Laden couldn't do in 700.
