God Bless George W. Bush

Bob, President George W. Bush has done well to stand firmly in the face of critisism and indeed God Bless W. and all political leaders that face the daily challenges of running a nation to ensure its safety and peace.
I think you are being a bit loose with the term best but he has indeed done an outstanding job of sticking to his guns... no pun intended.

May Satan Bless George Bush! His leadership allowed the largest number of deaths on US soil from a single foriegn attack in our history! He as led a nation to a needless war for oil that has caused over 30000 civilians to be killed and plunged a country into chaos where in the future thousands more will die! He as continued to give tax cuts to the rich while ensuring the poor get even poorer (can you here that....Thats Satan cheering!). He has given the Islamists lots of great PR to help recruit more terrorists! Another Satanic blessing!

Dan!! Millions more will die if we don't stop the threat NOW!! Well, we know what side of religion your on?( He went straight to satan.)

I wonder how well Jonh Kerry would have handled all that Bush has. Let ask France. HEY that's what he would do. Ask France Right? I admitt that bush isn't the most articulate man in the world,let alone Texas, but he is fighting the battle that our grandchildren will have to fight. That's a good American in my book. They attacked us first, remember?

Tom, I thought we attacked them first, during the crusades.

Best satire I've seen in a while.

This is quite funny, you have talent.

There is a political satire group. Maybe they'd like it.

Damn it Sandy! I saw your comment drift by and I thought this was intended satire not sad 'I'm crazy-crazy' satire. I feel I've been caught up in some homo-erotic propaganda wrapped too tightly in our adoring flag.

you mean, he's serious?

Oh, excuse me, I thought this was satire? You mean it's a serious piece? aw, geeez.

Sandy, Donna, & Lisa, the lousy spelling job should have been your first clue.

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. This man has a HUGE man crush on Bush. You think 'Brokeback Mountain' had some heat...don't get Bob from Littlerock too close to our pea-brained president because something might explode (and I'm not talking about the pistol in his pocket, although I'm sure Bob has one).

Where am I?

Girls the thing that ticks me off is that too many of these nut jobs are waving the flag while pooping on the Constitution. I understand the importance of symbolic speech and all, but it is high time that those of us who believe in the true American values (those that were nursed from the inception of this country and beyond) need to take Old Glory from the stubby hands of these creeps.

Is his conviction not enough of an understanding of the constitution? My grandfather could not have even spelt constitution let alone understand the depth of the wording, but he fought in two wars for His nation. Is he less of a patriot for growing up on a farm.
And I'm not insulting your intelligence Bob, but maybe yours Lisa.

thank you ladies, you have proven this nation is dying becuase of liberals and their gay supporters. You can laugh at me, but when the jihadist explode a birty bomb over your hometown, I will laugh at you.

Ooooh, you have proven this nation is dying because hot-head idiots tell others they will laugh when the other gets bombed. How stupid.

I have gay supporters! wooohooo! That might be more exciting than my brood.

Well Christopher, my grandfather and father served in the armed forces of this nation as well. I am sure my family line has as many patriots as yours, regardless of from which they hail. Yet, I AM TIRED OF CRAZIES (see comment above where dear Bob thinks a dirty bomb in anyone's home town is a laughting matter - which proves to me that if the jihadist take over, HE WILL BE THE FIRST TO JOIN THEM). I am just giving you guys fair warning that I'm reclaiming the flag. Christopher, intelligently our forefathers faught and died for the Constitution so belittling it (as the Bush administration has) shames them.

Thank you Bob for further strengthening your arguement (now I am insulting you). What kind of person would ask that God Bless Anyone and the threaten to laugh at the death of another. Not good Bob not good.
Lisa, Please reclaim the flag someone must. The Constitution defends the rights of all men, such as the one we exploit here. I am not saying that Bob is right in his hope for dirty bombs but he is speaking out, even for the not so popular idea of supporting Bush. I was just asking that you accept a mans convictions and his love for his nation... though now I am begining to think it a bit excessive on his part. Try guiding him rather than hurting his pride.

Bob,

I noticed from your profile that you are an "American Christian". Do you really think Jesus would approve of laughing at the victim of a dirty nuclear bomb? If so, I'd like to know the basis for your thoughts.

I know Jesus has suggested turning the other cheek. I don't recall him suggesting that his followers kill others before they kill you.

How dare you call me a liberal...nasty mouth.

Point well taken Christopher. I guess what is bothersome, isn't so much that Bob supports Bush (a lot of people do that I love and respect - although less so since the election) it is the fact that he talks about "evil liberals and their homosexual agenda." This phrase is meant to inflame. I think the political discourse of Gather should be intellectually deeper than that. Although he obviously has ever right to say what he desires, he must expect that when publishing in a public form others will respond.

Agreed

Folks, I hate to be a party pooper, but there's got to be something more constructive we can talk about than the bizarre mouthings of someone as blatantly autolobatamized as Bob here. Recess is over, back to class.

Where is class again John

Here

I am speechless,
but Sandy, Lisa, There has been a sudden increase of treacle and porridge, all wrapped in scripture verse and colored red white and blue

Hello Bob. Welcome to Gather. Prepare to find out the rest of the country doesn't believe in your patriotic mindless jingoism.

I will direct you to my fine article, which compares Katherine Harris to Osama bin Laden:

Just One Good Reason Why I Oppose the Christian Right: Katherine Harris and Her Dedication to Removing Separation of Church and State

This IS satire! I have to laugh. If I don't conclude that this was meant as battle-cry satire, well.. Then it would just be too sad and boneheaded to believe.

But Bush, the ah sucks, what me worry kid, is still coming though and even tho he doesn't seem bothered by his own incompetence, which he doesn't even know he has, as he has gallons of it, is still smiling.

Crazy, terrorist have killed 3k americans on US soil in the last ten years. Drunk drivers have killed about 400K. Please explain to me again how much of a threat terrorists are? Has for it being noone from this country I believe we were founded by predominately europeans. I know technically we did not attack them, but in their view we are part of western civilization. Tom, My satan comments were satire, I am actually an athiest. If you think that is evil I would put my morality against yours or Bobs anyday.

Global terrorists must be pretty fat dudes, or at least very round

From Bob J
George W. Bush is the best leader America has ever had. He has stodd up for us around the world and keeps us safe from the Islamic menaces that hate our freedom and want to destroy our families. He fights against the evil liberals and their homosexual aganda. He is a great American.
God Bless George W. Bush!!!!!!!!

Is that why we have troops in Iran, to fight against the gay and liberal agenda?


Bob really, can you give us a few specifics about George W's tactics against those evil liberals and the homosexual agenda?
First though I need you to define an "evil liberal" I need to know this so if I run into one I will know it, you could also add just what it is I need to do to defend myself.

quote of the year!

Red State Rednecks

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST READ.
Is it possible? Is it possible someone pertaining to the human race (or claimimg to do so) can APPROVE of a man who wages war???
How do you justify the war in Iraq, Bob? Did the Iraqi's,sitting in their homes, threaten to throw a banana on you? No, wait- it was the NOBLE search for weapons of mass destuction! Only, NONE WERE FOUND!! Another country ruined, millions of people killed......some hero.

Cause God knows those evil homosexual liberals would send our sons and daughters out to slaughter and be slaughtered in a place and a fight which is not our own.

Can't wait to see how many die in this country from the terrorists attacks that will happen when the liberals have the helm. They seem to live in a world that thinks you can deal with these evil people. The only thing G W did is not turn the whole middle east into a parking lot.

You know, Bear Capron, you must have a really weird mind if you WAIT for terrorist attacks... For spite?
I think I know who should be made a parking lot......

"In a speech laced with quotes from Osama bin Laden, President Bush said on Tuesday that five years after the September 11 attacks, al Qaeda wants to set up a violent, radical Islamic caliphate based in Iraq and vowed he would not let this happen on his watch."

Bush warns of Iraqi caliphate

"We have significantly degraded the al–Qaida network . . . Terrorist networks today are more dispersed and less centralized. They are more reliant on smaller cells inspired by a common ideology and less directed by a central command structure."

Who is George bin Laden, who is Osama Bush?

"Fundamentalism as Discourse.

This is where fundamentalism enters, like terrorism a term for Other. Self is seen as moderate/proportionate and rational. Psychologically fundamentalism polarizes, dehumanizes Other and bolsters Self. Whether terrorism is triggered by anger or greed fundamentalism produces the necessary numbing and legitimation.

The world is right now in the clutches of two fundamentalisms pitted against each other. Relative to the world population these are small groups, with Wahhabite Sunni Islam and Puritan Protestant Christianity, both some centuries old, at their core. But they have powerful weapons at their disposal: suicide bombing with the use of airplanes as bombs and carpet bombing with the possible use of nuclear bombs. We are dealing with deeply rooted pathologies which for individuals are diagnosed as narcissism and megalomania cum paranoia. But at the collective level they still pass as expressions of devotion and patriotism. In sick national cultures.

Here is a definition of fundamentalism with seven elements:

1. Chosenness. The idea built into the national narrative that the nation is chosen by transpersonal forces, such as Yahweh for the Jews and the successors, God and Alla'h.

2. Glory. The basis is usually a myth combining a glorious past with a glorious future once the problems of the more dubious, even ignominious, present have been overcome.

3. Traumas. The shocks, mythical or not, suffered by a nation, leaving deep wounds, festering in the collective subconscious, to be drawn upon, particularly by leaders with similar wounds.

4. Dichotomy. The tendency to divide everything, like world space states and nations, into two parts, with sharp borderlines.

5. Manicheism. The tendency to attribute only Good qualities to Self and only Evil qualities to Other. God vs Satan.

6. Armageddon. The tendency found in the abrahamitic religions to envisage a final battle between God/Good and Satan/Evil.

7. Repression/Projection. A psychological syndrome repressing, denying, the bad qualities of Self (such as excessive violence in thought, speech and action), and attribute them to Other.

Point for point this applies to both of them, making them each other's mirror images with exchangeable scripts (Osama Bush and George bin Laden) and implacable enemies. Armed with suicide bombs and carpet bombing the result is already catastrophic."
-Johan Galtung

Bush has never had success in business or showed an interest in governing as Gov. or President. He is uninformed and incompetent, only clever at PR and politics. Squandered his educational opportunities and always dependent on on the wealth ani influence of family and others.

Josh Burek, "The work-life balance for 'nation's CEO'. President Bush spends August on his Texas ranch, but some say his schedule should mirror hard-charging US," (http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0824/p03s01-uspo.html) Christian Science Monitor, August 24, 2005. An on-page reader poll showed August 24, 2005, in response to "Does it bother you that President Bush takes long 'working vacations' while the nation is at war?"
85.4% answered "Yes, while some vacation time is needed, he needs to focus on issues like Iraq and rising gas prices."
14.6% answered "No. Mr. Bush has an exceptionally good work-life balance and that makes him a better president."
------------------- On August 19, 2005, "he broke Ronald Reagan's record of 335 days for America's most vacationed president and went on to take the longest presidential vacation in 36 years," Dale McFeatters wrote (http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/10676) August 8, 2006, in a ScrippsNews editorial. --------------------
