Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Urbane Guerrilla]

I thought the man was just plain weird myself -- until I noticed his pattern: he sounds exactly like Soviet press releases about US foreign policy back in the day. He sounds exactly like the sort of thing the very Sovietized Sandinistas said about US policy in their day.

I have seen no particular in which he varies from the Communist Party line, particularly that of the sixties and the seventies, in any of the posts he indicates an opinion in.

Figuring tw for a Communist presents a more organized explanation of what you see from him in Politics and Current Events than mere perversity does. I've called him a Communist in public here, and received neither rebuttal nor disproof. I haven't even received reproof from him. I think he knows that I know.

His emotional shortcomings are quite another matter from his red-diaper-baby political tone: he's obsessive, delusional, driven by resentments, petty to a remarkable degree, and never fair when he thinks he can gain an advantage otherwise. If this man was ever married, it was brief. Can you imagine anyone tolerating a life partner of that temperament? Now he's up against someone of better character, much greater emotional maturity, higher ethics, of accomplishments he cannot aspire to, of some foreign experience, and who's wise to him. He'd love to find some way to make me look bad -- just like him -- but as long as he's constituted as he is, and I am constituted as I am, there is no hope of that either.
