Militant. Peaceful. Anarchic. Nonviolent. Political protests under the reign of George have failed entirely. Why? The answer lies in the most important flip-flop of all. For decades, rock-ribbed Republican stalwarts have bemoaned the shortcomings of relativism. The notion that subjective qualifiers play a vital role in formulating moral and/or aesthetic judgments is openly mocked: there is right and wrong, good and bad, black and white. The individual is fallible, with a protean soul, but Truth is permanent: aligning oneself with Truth (often in defiant rebellion against one's nature or conscience) is a sacred duty. It may seem as though this position is uncompromised by the flippant dismissal of dissenters throughout the reign of George: they [protestors] are driven by irrational and subjective angst, we [neocons] are driven by rational and objective Truth. However, that is not the preferred argument. Not by a long shot. This is: freedom to speak your mind is what makes America great. That's right. The greatness of America lies in the wholesale glorification of relativism, subjectivity and orgies of emotionalism. The majesty of George, however, is so great that he need not actually listen to or attempt to refute such flapdoodle. Under a global cloak of rhetoric which strokes and applauds the "freedom" to express oneself, George and his cronies have parlayed themselves into a position where the Truth being spoken (and written) in opposition to their policies is rhetorically robbed of it's power. For example, we are repeatedly told that "everyone" thought that Saddam had WMDs. That's pure horseshit. Millions of protesters were not wrong – the truth was simply ignored. Now, whenever George talks about how great it is that people can speak their minds, I can only think of bottles of kerosene and dirty rags.
