The anti-Patriot act, a.k.a., the anti-Bush conspiracy

Although I'm loathe to spawn yet another conspiracy theory, a cursory analysis of recent news stories leaves me with no other credible alternative. I've listened eagerly to Bush's assertions that the economy is the best of our lifetime and getting better; however, I am absolutely dumbfounded and appalled that American consumers have conspired to derail Bush's sunshine-blowing exercise by continuing to lose confidence in what is obviously a healthy, robust economy.
The proportions of this conspiracy are staggering given the number of consumers in this doubting nation of ours. This thing smacks of the Evil One. When are we going begin acting on our patriotic duty, i.e., perform a Patriot Act, to follow suite with the administration and suspend disbelief? Only time will tell.
