Ahmadinejab is a much better rhetoritician than Bush, but they’re not more honest than each other, I don’t think.

In some ways they are mirror images. Girard would call them “doubles”. But, Bush – although there has been much untruth coming from his administration – is not the sort of purely self-serving manipulative sort the Ahmadinajab proves to be. The sad part is this administration – for the most part – believes its own lies. Ahmadinajab does not. that’s a big difference. The people of Iran don’t believe him either – they are just terrified and trying to live lives despite him. Well, heck – there’s a bit of that in this country.

Just read the article – it was funny to say the least. Just enough to make us a bit uncomfortable.

My short, thin, bearded Opus Dei ex-brother-in-law (Ahmadinejad’s twin brother he never knew he had) was just as millennialist from his direction as the Iranian president is from his.
Is it something about the look that they see themselves as prophets?!

And now you know why I have the opinion of Lefties, Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, etc., etc., et al (immoral bobbleheads), that I do.

Strange bedfellows, indeed.

You must have looked really hard for this.
