Some parts of America still think for themselves, although I’m not sure we’re still “American.” When someone steals a nation they redefine a nationality. The San Francisco indie City Lights Booksellers & Publishers at Columbus and Broadway is getting the message out:
“Gentlemen, what are the four evils?”
“Religion, fascism, tyranny, ignorance.”
Yesterday Mr. Bush endorsed the teaching of Intelligent Design in American schools. Last month he inked a deal to provide India with nuclear technology, in direct violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It strikes me as generally unwise to place the power to destroy entire cities in the hands of someone who holds a literal interpretation of religious myth as equal to scientific knowledge.
City Lights has succinctly defined the Bush doctrine across a wide range of policy. If you oppose Bush’s mission, you oppose his “America.”
And if you oppose “America,” you’re one heartbeat away from “anti-American.”
