The Far Right Dream is coming to an end
Freepers, Joe Scarborough, and Tucker Carlson are all looking at Bush and saying "He's turning Left!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

Bush is urging for Energy Conservation. That's something only some Radical Liberal would say, right?

The RW'ers look at Liberals and say our ideas are Utopian.

But, now there is a Crisis, and we see just how quickly the myth of the Right Wing Paradise is shattered.

7. not yet, not for a long time.
Remember that an injured animal is much more dangerous and violent than a healthy one that can go at will. Today's neoconman animal is badly injured. Cornered in dense forest of unshakeable fact, performance issues and corruption - the likes that we have not seen since the Teapot Dome scandals, it is now more dangerous than ever. If it has nothing to lose, we may lose it all.

Funny, Teapot involved Oil and big GOP business interests, too. History does repeat itself.

2. Hah!
They call what the boy king said "conservation"?! Man, do they need to wake up. If they want to know what conservation is let them try turning the lights off, the heat down, riding the bus, walking, biking, etc. That's conservation. Four ten hour days, telecommuting, no more photo ops in TX and LA. That's conservation.

4. There are some concepts
that shouldn't be considered partisan IMO and certainly conservation is one of them. You'd think that is one place we would find commonality.

10. Yeah, when Bush says it's time for conservation, what he REALLY means is
no more gas, heating, and eventually food for people who can't afford it at the new "free market" prices.

It'll save a lot of resources if a big chunk of the population can't buy them anymore! That leaves more for the "have mores"!

9. Not by a long shot.
The hurricanes are giving the fascists an opening to ram through their extremist agenda.

In fact, the nightmare is just beginning, but the fascists had better pray they don't get a filibuster-proof Senate next election, because THAT will be the end of the Republican Party as we know it.

They aren't even hiding what they want to do to the country.

It's now a matter of the public having the will to do something to stop it.

11. "conservation" from a monkey that
considers a 747 400 his personal jet. How many tens of thousands of gallons of kerosene does this criminal play actor use every time he wants to be seen on tv being a leader? How many airplanes follow this bozo around? 8? 10? Every time this idiot farts it costs us the taxpayers (but not the very wealthy) some large sum. "Conservation" my ass. Photo op and sound bite at a very great expense. Conserve the United States truncate the presidency.
