Little known fact, Nero didn't actually play the fiddle while Rome burned. So indeed, it's very adroit.

Cites, please? People in Chicago are eating dog food? And they WEREN'T eating dog food while Dubya was in office?

Also, if you're paying $100 to "prepound" your beef, you really need help.

In other words, religious people offer their time, money and resources into a system that does not provide an obvious adaptive advantage. Except in one way: satisfaction from a necessary delusion. That means dopamine activation. Dopamine is our evolved natural reward. To feel ascendant through reward dopamine means to feel more assertive, confident and even dominant over obstacles. May I remind you that all of animal life is reward-based - from yeast to humans. We are dopamine machines. ... University of Colorado at Colorado Springs psychologist Tom Pyszcynski advocates in his "terror management theory" that we need to delude ourselves to survive. Delusion is adaptive. Psychologist Cordelia Fine in her A Mind of its Own: How Your Mind Distorts and Deceives (W.W. Norton, 2006) is another case in point: her term for this behavior is our "deluded brain." ... In the wider perspective, to face an otherwise difficult and cruel life is just too real for most to face.

Nobody will get Rapo to change by arguing with him. In fact, that just plays into his dopamine addiction. I don't know whether its better to ignore him or to point and laugh. Right now, I'm at the pointing a laughing stage, altho I shake my head in sorrow.

He, ummm, delayed it? By putting us three trillion in debt with an unnecessary pet-project war?
That had NO negative effect? It wasn't the last straw that started the ball rolling?
Ya mean, if he had put as much effort into fixing the mess before it got so bad as he did into enforcing a set of superseded UN resolutions, it would not have helped?

Really.

the war spending probably actually stimulated the economy in the short term, but we are paying for it now. I've never argued that Bush did'nt spend to much, but given what he had to deal with he thought our only hope was to grow our way out of dept. Unfortunately he forgot that we were due for downturn in the business cycle, and that happen to correspond with our once every 15 year financial crisis. Usually it's the financial crisis leading us into recession, this time the downturn lead the financial crisis making it much worse than usual.

You are so seriously fucked in the head you're not worth responding to, but I'll give it one parting shot. If you actually believe that all of the problems of the World are a result of the Bush administration you more delusional than most of the liberals here. We've gone over many times the origins of our problems that lead back to the Carter administration, not to mention the dot.com bubble, 911 etc. Did Bush just delay the inevitable, yes he did, but that's the best he could do given the hand he was dealt.

I though you were headed for Canada. Good luck, they don't want you, their welfare and mental health system is burdened enough already.
