hey, it looks very interesting, thanks. (Now, just what part made you think of me? The Nazi part? LOL)

If you visit a bookstore, take a look at a book called
The Bush Dyslexicon
by Mark Crispin Miller

It is a very good analysis of how a certain rhetoric works and reaches a wide audience. Examples are poignant. Also, the pseudo-christian appeal is examined and deconstructed for the empty shell it is: another propaganda tool. Aside from this, it is funny, literary, and yes, "enlightening."
2 thumbs up.

Yes, I hang around here. It is a nice, unambiguous corner full of smart cool folks. :)
