Probing the Neo-Con mind...

"By contrast, the Straussian hero appears to be the "wise 'legislator' or founder" whose essentially private reason discerns the universal, absolute truth without any regard to public opinion and who imposes the product of his reasoned understanding on an ignorant, and perhaps even recalcitrant, nation."

In other words, "Don't worry your pretty little heads, we got it all covered for you!"

Problem is, who's to say WHO "discerns the universal, absolute truth"?

Not a guy making a buck off his bullshit. I'll tell you that!

Wouldn't this lead to the natural rise of a Police State?

Martial Law?

From the mouth of Leo Strauss himself.

Abuse could be rampant under such auspices.

And isn't it?

We are witnessing it.

5% Club? What the hell are you talking about?

Do you belong to the 2% blame America Ron Paul club? Nothing like supporting someone who is nothing more than a useful idiot to the enemy.

The schizo group always has a taste for misinformation and manipulated online polls. It's like drinking kool-aid, isn't it?
