Now These People are Amusing...

These folks think that they are going to bring in an era of utopian prosperity.

Pretty goofy stuff. In fact, I found the item in the "Oddly Enough" section of my news page. But if you change the faith in nutball meditation to faith in free markets and democracy, you get pretty much the neocon position.

Once any group starts promising utopia, and throws around phrases like "the end of history" with a straight face, you are dealing with dangerous folks. The Eternal Reich ended in a bloodbath. The Workers' Paradise was a bloodbath from day one. Complex nation-building exercises in the Middle East and Asia? Guess where those things end, if not abandoned early enough.

Come to think of it, you might try that with the White House, too.
