Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: Do Bush followers have a political ideology?

I would suggest reading Dave Neiwert at Orcinus blog. He has been covering the eliminationist rhetoric of the radical right for many years. He is a journalist who readily delves into the causes and history of the hatred of the mind of the radical right.

But as many observers of Bush the Terror have noted recently it is a cult of personality that is the defining characteristic of Bush.

Movement conservaties and liberals are equally "demonized" when they speak against Bush the Terror. Not one shred of criticism can be brooked by those who are a part of this cult of personality. Perhaps this is why Bush the Terror "loathes" the cult of Kim Il Jong II because he sees a rival.

I believe that these years under Bush the Terror will be known as the Great Terror. Where the cult of Bush the Terror will be seen as an abject failure of the Congress and judiciary to bring to heel the ravings of Bush and Cheney who believe in king for his "war on terror" rather then in the strength of the Constitution.

We now know that the the mantra "9/11 has changed everything" is code for sedition against the Constitution and abridgement of the Bill of Rights. Bush the Terror has used the weapons of the demagogue to create a cult of personality and to stifle all legitimate dissent through the use of corporate media's bullhorn.

Glenn Greenwald's trenchent analysis of the inability of the right to mount any sustained criticism has to do with this blindness called "cult of personality".
