"Dubya"

Edited October 6, 200520 yr by Hildegard

Weeeird...

-- yeah according to someone else.

Idiocy.

 

Way to insult the Muslim people again, Bushie.

 

Elevating himself to Jesus, Moses, and Mahamud (msp) is is really going to win over those of the Islamic faith. Talk about freaking hubris.

If god told him to invade Iraq... and god told the hijackers to blow up the WTC... Methinks we have a very capricous god

Why do you think I hate the prick?

 

Gold.

Oh god, not another over-intellectual debate.

BTW is there any proof that he said this? Has it been caught on camera? Unless i hear him say it, then im going to remain sceptical.

Also things could be misinterpreted through translation. Those may not be Bush's exact words.

If I'm not mistaken, the First Amendmen of the US constitution says:

 

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...

 

And then you have the Republicans who are imposing their 'Christian agenda' like trying to support official prayer in public schools. Republicans clearly say in their GOP Platform document 2002:

 

The Republican Party reaffirms the USA is a Christian Nation...

 

Then you have people like William Rehnquist, a conservative, Supreme court judge who goes saying:

 

The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.

 

With all of this, it doesn't suprise me when Bush goes saying in speech:

 

God told me to strike at Al Qaida and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.

 

Better watch out Middle East, George W. Bush aka 'The prophet' ain't over just yet...His talk awfully reminds me of an another dude who saying pretty much the same:

 

I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. I am doing the Lord's work.

 

...oh yeah, know I remember, that was Adolf Hitler.

 

Then you have people like Tom DeLay.......DeLay said that God is using him to promote 'a biblical worldview' in American philosophy.

 

Nice, nice [\sarcasm].

 

GOD IS WITH US

 

Quoting Adolf Hitler & George Bush & Osama Bin Laden

 

These are just classic examples of leaders exploiting God and religion to fuel their own purposes.....and I as a moderate Catholic will quote the Bible this time:

 

Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.

Jeremiah 14:14

 

P.S. And yes julian, that are his words excatly.

The conversation is in English? Most meetings between political leaders use translators even if they could understand each other perfectly well.

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

 

"When The President Talks To God"

 

When the president talks to God

Are the conversations brief or long?

Does he ask to rape our women

I miss the Republican party that was about small secular government with social freedom and equality and tax cuts for everyone instead of just the rich. Anyone remember them?

I wasn't quoting the speech in the Baley's link, but another he made way before in 2003. And this is nothing new, because he has been doing it for a while now...

Maybe Bush is disturbed in some way? We shouldn't dismiss the possibility. Either that, or he was intentionally trying to insult every muslim in the world...

Hildegard - Then I agree that US's government policies should not be based on Bush's personal convictions about God.

 

Reveiled - Aren't you from Britain? You lived in US during the 80s?

By God, Bush means the little voice in his head that speaks to him every night before he sleeps, the one that's been there all his life, that tells him that he's a good boy, and makes the bad things go away.

No, but I've studied American History, and I plan to immigrate to the US in a few years. I'd like it very much if the Republican Party got rid of all their crazies before I arrive.

 

I never personally lived under a sane Republican reigime, but I still "miss" it in the sense that that is what I want, and I can't get it anywhere in the world anymore. Perhaps miss wasn't the right word, then.

This is just disturbing...yet not unexpected.
