A Tale of Two “Tenants”

Yes, Bush actually said “tenants of thought” during his recent speech at Northern Kentucky University. What an ignorant ass!

But I digress—he also said that the Taliban is “totalitarian in nature” and “akin to dealing with fascism and communism.” Boy howdy, do I ever agree! “Totalitarian” is certainly an apt way to describe them, especially in light of such alarming statements as this one:

[W]e are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over every aspect and institution of human society.

Oh—wait. Sorry, that quotation isn’t from the Taliban. My mistake…
