Bush a godly man ... one of the greatest US presidents ever

[HamdenRice]

Well, friends, you asked for it. We are all utterly puzzled about what is going on in the minds of people who support little prince shrub.

Elder Johnny Lee Clary -- founder of XKKK.org, an organization for former Klansmen who have repented and seek to unite blacks and whites in the building of a conservative Christian world -- can explain it all to you:

"We have the greatest President this country could ever hope for and we thank God for giving us a man for such a time as this. No other president has ever showed this type of true leadership and has acted with so much integrity!! We LOVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!"....Johnny Lee Clary

President George Walker Bush recently visited a wounded US Military officer in a Washington hospital.* The Officer's name is LTC Brian Birdwell and he has severe burns all over his body from the attack on the Pentagon on September 11th. LTC Birdwell is listed in critical condition. President Bush knelt by his bedside and took Officer Birdwell's hand and prayed with him. President Bush then rose to his feet and saluted Officer Birdwell and held that salute until Birdwell slowly raised his severely burnt arm to return the salute. LTC Birdwell was saluted by the supreme Commander in Chief, of the US Armed Forces. This shows the integrity of our leader. He is a godly man and will perhaps go down in history as one of the greatest US Presidents that ever lived. There were no TV reporters, or journalist around. Only a few private citizens witnessed this event. That shows the true character and motives of our President, the HONORABLE GEORGE WALKER BUSH, who I deeply love, respect, and honor with all of my heart. My friend, US Congressman J.C. Watts says, "CHARACTER IS DOING THE RIGHT THING WHEN NOBODY'S WATCHING." How true. ........Elder Johnny Lee Clary

6. a painful salute?

Come to think of it, it's kind of thoughtless to salute a guy with 3rd degree burns on his arms, forcing him to return the salute with excrutiating pain, no?

8. I seem to recall a scene like that in Catch-22.

11. My thought exactly. Reminds me of

a Martin Mull skit from his tv show. Brings in a married couple who suffer from searing, constant pain. Every part of their bodies aches day and night. Mull:"Isn't that wonderful that 2 people with the same rare affliction found each other? Let's show them how much we appreciate them, let's sing a song. (singing) If you're happy and you know it clap your hands..." The couple is then seen clapping their hands and wincing with pain.

7. uh, so it's a sign of leadership

to go to a hospital and salute an injured soldier?

That's not leadership.

9. If Christ were alive today Bush & his ilk would reject his message of

forgiveness and non violence....IMO

12. "Bush Like Me" - Ten weeks undercover in the grass roots of the Republican

From "Bush Like Me" by Matt Taibbi:

I never felt any longing to go to Orlando, Florida. What I felt, in traveling south to volunteer for the campaign of George W. Bush, was an obligation. Let me explain by first saying something about the critics of our president. A great many of them like to laugh at George Bush for not reading books and for being uninterested in visiting other countries. But a lot of those same people are guilty of the opposite offense. They prefer to read books and travel abroad rather than actually getting to know their own country face to face.

These critics do a terrific job of mocking his mental deficiencies and dismissing his supporters as hapless morons, but they do not do a very good job of explaining the nature of his support. The few dissident commentators who bother trying to explain the Bush phenomenon seldom do more than reach for the nearest Marx-inspired academic cliche. They will tell you, for instance, that Republicans are a vast intellectual underclass cynically manipulated by the rich through a mesmerizing cocktail of yahoo enthusiasms, xenophobic fears and ancient superstitions -- and those same people will insist, if forced to offer an opinion on the subject, that one should feel sorry for most of them.

This is the wrong approach. As a professional misanthrope, I believe that if you are going to hate a person, you ought to do it properly. You should go and live in his shoes for a while and see at the end of it how much you hate yourself.

This was what I was doing down in Florida. The real challenge wasn't just trying to understand these Republicans. It was to become the best Republican I could be.

This is a very entertaining and revealing read.

13. This is one of

the funniest reads I've had in years. I didn't want to laugh, because I was falling prey to that sense of superiority that they are so sensitive to. But I couldn't help myself. I was hysterical by the end of the meal scene.

Thanks for the post and welcome to DU.

14. What A Crock...

Amazing anyone could be so ignorant. But worth a good belly laugh.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. OK so what about that music at that site?

yikes!

BUSH is a COWBOY!

[rooboy]

16. What a tragic coincidence...

that such a media-savvy administration would fail to have journalists around to witness such a defining moment. Heck, a cynic might have the audacity to suggest it never happened. </sarcasm off>
