ha,ha, thanks Boomer! Here are some interesting quotes from the insane
madman running our country:
"When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a
$10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be
decisive."
-- George W Bush, to senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer of
New York and senators John Warner and George Allen of Virginia, quoted
by Howard Fineman, "A President Finds His True Voice" (Newsweek:
September 24, 2001)
"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. If you help me I
will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus
on them."
-- George W Bush, according to Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud
Abbas, from minutes acquired by Haaretz from cease-fire negotiations
between Abbas and faction leaders from the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and
the Popular and Democratic Fronts (circa, June, 2003), quoted from
Arnon Regular, "'Road map is a life saver for us,' PM Abbas tells
Hamas" (
Haaretz.com: June 27, 2003), quoted from EvilOz (The Iterative
Record)
"I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president."
-- George W Bush, quoted from Aaron Latham, "How George W Found God,"
George Magazine, September, 2000
"When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you
accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart."
-- George W Bush, in Des Moines, when three of six candidates named
Jesus Christ as role models, December, 1999, quoted in "Jesus in
Charge? Whose Election Is it Anyway?" by American Atheists
"This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while."
-- George W Bush, using a loaded term which recalls the Christians'
Medieval wars against Muslims in the so-called Holy Land, after
stepping off the presidential helicopter on Sunday, September 16,
2001, quoted from Jonathan Lyons, "Bush enters Mideast's rhetorical
minefield " (Reuters: September 21, 2001). Bush later apologized for
this remark.
"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you
are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
-- George W Bush, echoing the either-or, black-and-white thinking
practiced by the Jesus character of the Christian Gospel stories ("He
that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad." -- Matthew 12:30) and thereby leaving room for no
other options, in his September 20, 2001, "war whoop of folly"
speech, ... cheered on by a Congress "overcome with grief and drunk
with patriotism," quoted in and adjectives lifted from Matthew
Rothschild, "War Whoop of Folly," in The Progressive (September 21,
2001)
"The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain.
Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we
know that God is not neutral between them."
-- George W Bush, in other words, God is on our side (heard that
before?), in his "war whoop" speech to Congress, September 20, 2001
"Tyrants and dictators will accept no other gods before them. They
require disobedience to the First Commandment. They seek absolute
control and are threatened by faith in God. They fear only the power
they cannot possess -- the power of truth. So they resent the living
example of the devout, especially the devotion of a unique people
chosen by God."
-- George W Bush, blaming the Holocaust on godlessness, rather than on
Christian anti-Semitism of Martin Luther, St Paul, and the Jesus of
Matthew's and John's Gospels, and ignoring the fact that Adolf Hitler
repeatedly called himself a Christian, pretended to be obeying Christ,
and cannot be shown to have been an atheist, at the National
Commemoration of the Days of Remembrance at the US Capitol on April
19, 2001, quoted from Freedom From Religion Foundation, "Bush's
Holocaust Remarks Distort History, Scapegoat Freethinkers" April 25,
2001
"It has sustained me in moments of success and in moments of
disappointment. Without it, I'd be a different person. And without it,
I doubt I'd be here today."
-- George W Bush, promoting the Christian faith at the annual National
Prayer Breakfast, for which organizers refused to release a full list
of attendees, February 1, 2001, quoted from Conrad Goeringer, "Bush
Promotes Faith at Prayer Breakfast: Bipartisan Support for New White
House Office," AANEWS 881, February 2, 2001, from American Atheists
"This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the
past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in
the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals
aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain
of.... You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of
some things. We're certain that even though the "evil empire" may have
passed, evil still remains. We're certain there are people that can't
stand what America stands for.... We're certain there are madmen in
this world, and there's terror, and there's missiles and I'm certain
of this, too: I'm certain to maintain the peace, we better have a
military of high morale, and I'm certain that under this
administration, morale in the military is dangerously low."
