(It IS about 'the current environment'.. D'Oh..)

If.. we didn't have the first Murican wannabe-Pope *still* as AG, despite wide reportage of his er peculiarities, and if.. there were some sign that Ashcroft is an extremist in this admin. Unfortunately all indications are that - he's merely average for the group (though the others keep lip zipped, don't cover up the breasts on statues or record sing-alongs about Eagles etc. Yet).

I believe we shall see a crescendo of God-content fulminations, misogynistic proposals represented as Save the Zygotes from Commyunist Moms, flag-backdrops and implicit condemnation of All who wish theology left out of State: as (my Gramma lives..) Com- Librul- symps.

This admin, more than any other in my memory (or read of) - is as dedicated to language murder as Jack the R was dedicated to misogyny. That is why such as the above - is IMO an indicator not an aberration.

Of course it isn't All just this junta's doing - it needs the concupiscence of a nation of hardly-voting sheep, to effect this much concentrated mischief without significant opposition. (Maybe it also takes a living HL Mencken or Twain to awaken such - but that's just a wishful guess. And which infotainment Corp would give either - airtime?)
