Swimming with the Razorfishes

Monday, April 26, 2004

This article in The Washington Post terrifies me. A profile of a family in Sugar Land, Texas, the author seeks to paint a portrait of a typical source of Republican support: a conservative family in the South.

I'm deeply saddened at the father's black-and-white oversimplification of the world, that his news sources are rumor-pushing web sites, and his confusing the George Bush the man with actions his administration has taken.

Very sad, indeed, because this Texas man's world view isn't that far off from that of the "radicals" in the middle east upon whom we are so fond of casting aspersions.
