The Anti-American Right

I've been thinking a bit about my posts on Philip Atkinson's essay calling for George W. Bush to proclaim himself "president for life (available full thanks to Digby.

Now, I've seen a fair amount about the Family Security Foundation scrubbing it from their website and expunging Atkinson from their page (an I don't blame them for that -- the man's a loon), but I've seen very little about the fact that they published it in the first place. I do a lot of carping about the lack of morality on the far right, but this just points it up: they couldn't figure out that this kind of screed is unacceptable until they registered on the very negative reactions.

They just don't get it.
