Bush sees "Third Awakening" of religion

[Colorado Infidel]

Interesting excerpt:

"A lot of people in America see this as a confrontation between good and evil, including me," Bush said during a 1 1/2 -hour Oval Office conversation on cultural changes and a battle with terrorists that he sees lasting decades.

So our future rests on this fuckwit's shoulders who thinks we're doing a great, Biblical and holy thing?

"Seeing it as good and evil." Way to encourage narrow mindedness.

I got some key words for ya Bushy Pussy:

Bush, You're a fucking dumbass.

Sometimes I wonder whether Bush really believes any of the crap he says in these trite "addresses" he gives. Even setting aside the morality of the Iraq war and our policy on the War on Brown People Terrorism, it takes a extraordinary amount of simple-mindedness and naivety to conceive of international relations as some sort of comic-book confrontation between "good" and "evil". Wars are fought between nation-states with conflicting political and economic interests, not between inherently virtuous and inherently evil ideologies or systems of government.

Moron.

Um... I was saying this at about 1994, but since I was a high school kid then, no one paid attention to me. I always thought of it as the Third Great Awakening (the first during the 1600, and the second during the early 1800s), starting in the late 1970s and continuing through today.

About a decade late. I resigned the GOP in 1983 when Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Robeson became involved in Reagan's run up to term two. The signs of Christian Reconstructionism and dominionism were already everywhere.
