Did a cabal plundering the global economy for oil revenues take over the US government over a period of 3 or 4 decades? Yes. Are they clever at what they do? Yes, as far as authoritarians go, they've managed to legislate against the middle and lower classes, all the while entertaining them with "bread and circuses" and frightening them with scary fookin "terrorists" and gay marriage and the like. But in terms of foresight for anything other than their own bottom line, like the world their grandchildren will inhabit, they're despicable dumbarses.

ON this and many other things, the commie pinko liberal democrats were right and the fascists were wrong! We're dealing with bullies. We've got to call them on their bullying in public forums. Remember the schoolyard - the bully confronts the victim and everyone gathers around. Oddly enough, the spectators stand by and actually side with the bully (perhaps as being on the winning side gives them brownie points). Until the victim fights back, the routine repeats itself over and over and over. However, once the bully is exposed for their weakness, the bully looses a substantial amount of power as the spectators also loose fear of the bully. 1) The RAND corporation – the flagship of conservative think tanks.

And so what if looking back shows that his two opponents were better suited for the job? What's really important is that the American people got a president they'd be happy to have a beer with.
