Straussian fascism

The more I learn about the Bush-Cheney cabal bearing the name of The Vulcans, the more I am bothered by their rejection of populist democracy, and their willingness to lie about it to retain power.

cabal: the artifices and intrigues of a group of persons secretly united to bring about an overturn or usurpation especially in public affairs; also : a group engaged in such artifices and intrigues. -Meriam-Webster Dictionary

Former Secretary of State George Schultz is labled the "father" of the Neo-cons. The name "Vulcans" was attached to a sub-set of these same Neo-cons working as a team on George W. Bush's 2000 Presidential campaign by Condoleezza Rice, currently Bush's National Security Advisor. The originating guru and now deceased idol of the "movement" is German Jewish philosopher Leo Strauss, who immigrated from Hitler's Germany and became a professor at the University of Chicago.

If you care at all about what is taking place in the United States today and how we got into the mess in Iraq, google the web for "Leo Strauss" and "Strasussians", then sit with your feet firmly planted as you read lest you fall of your chair.
