What's the next propaganda term? This one is dead and buried, apparently. Haven't seen any trolls here using it, so it must be absent from Limbaugh's current vocabulary.

"Losing the War" seems likely, as in "Who Lost China?" from the 50s. "Drill Now" is OK, but lacks the power of scary external or internal threat. The really convenient thing about terrorism from those towel-headed camel-riding guys is that nobody knew any of them; it wouldn't interfere with business.

Of course, once people started looking closely at Arabs they noticed we had friends there, the Saudis, Dubai, etc. I guess, now that Halliburton is headquartered in the Persian Gulf, we can't talk that way anymore.

Russia is available, and there is that puny interceptor site planned for brave (desperate, crazy?) Poland. Maybe the new scare-term will be simply be "fascist", although that risks  Naomi Wolf's analysis of the tem steps we are already achieving on the way to our own version.

For now we have to deal with "man-child", "ultra-liberal", and "socialist". Should we worry about "creeping communism"? Has a nice ring to it.
