No U.S. president, I expect, will ever appoint a Secretary of the Imagination. But if such a cabinet post ever were created, and Richard Foreman weren't immediately appointed to it, you'd know that the Republicans were in power. Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don't give a hoot about human beings, either can't or won't. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm. (emphasis mine -RR)
And the first sentence of the next paragraph reads thus:
This opinion is presumably not shared by Foreman; you can gauge the breadth of his imaginative compassion from his willingness to extend it even toward George W. Bush, idiot scion of a genetically criminal family that should have been sterilized three generations ago.
Let's see... calling for large scale extermination of a significant portion of the population, the belief in "genetic criminality" and the advocacy of forced sterilization. Where oh where have we heard that before? It would not surprise me if he hypocritically accuses the Republicans and the Bush administration of trying to implement the very ideology that his own words embody.
Given his words here, if he really wants to see a Nazi, all he has to do is look in the mirror.
