Dr. Bush and Mr. Hyde:
The Fundamentalist Shadow of George W. Bush

By John D. Goldhammer

A mouth that prays, a hand that kills.
- Arabian proverb

"How do you find a lion that has swallowed you?" asked Swiss
psychologist, Carl Jung, commenting on the moral dilemma posed by the
"shadow," his insightful term for the dark, hidden side of the human
psyche. The answer to Jung's questions is "you can't find or see that
lion"-not as long as you are inside the beast. And therein resides the
essential dilemma of a group's dark side or shadow: it is nearly
impossible for those caught inside a group's belief system to see their
own dark side with any clarity or objectivity. This hidden side grows
over time, regressing, becoming more and more aggressive. It's the "long
bag we drag behind us," says poet Robert Bly-where, as individuals, we
dispose of all those things that are too uncomfortable to look at. "The
long-repressed shadow of Dr. Jekyll rises up in the shape of Mr. Hyde,
deformed, an ape-like figure glimpsed against the alley wall."
