“Christian” President?
Is it Christian to export our best jobs to Red China, a country that
persecutes, imprisons and kills Christians?
Yet, this is the Bush record.
Is it Christian to offer tax incentives (subsidies with your tax dollars)
to rich corporations and super-rich individuals when we know in
advance this policy only impoverishes mainstream America? Is it
Christ-like to favor the rich and offer only callousness to the poor and
the middle-class just struggling to keep what they have?
Yet, this is the Bush record.
Is it Christian financial wisdom as national policy to advocate huge
tax cuts for the rich in time of war and record deficits?
Yet, this is the Bush record.
Is it Christian to send troops into battle without enough support and
against the advice of the professional military, like Marine Gen.
Anthony Zinni, who like other high ranking officers, have resigned
their commission rather than support the president? Is it Christian to
act like a “know-it-all” and accuse people of being unpatriotic when
they love their country and their troops more than their president?
This too, is the Bush record.
Is it Christian to play games of deceit with the American people and
lie about the impact of national tax cuts and federal funding when
said president and his advisors know that states and localities will be
forced to raise their taxes to compensate?
This too, is the Bush game plan.
Isn’t there more to supporting families than cheap talk and talking
religion? Isn’t quality family life structured around well-paying jobs
with full benefits so mothers and fathers can work in order to live, not
live in order to work?

In fact, Bush plans on more war if re-elected. He’s smart enough to
wait past November before imposing a draft and invading other
countries. These wars will make Iraq look easy.
“ was being discussed as part of a five-year
campaign plan… and there were a total of seven countries, beginning
with Iraw, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.”
-- Wesley Clark, Democratic candidate for president and retired
general, reporting on a conversation he had with a senior
military adviser at the Pentagon in November 2001 (Winning
Modern Wars, Public Affairs).
“It amounts to class warfare in reverse… It proposes to continue
every tax cut for the most affluent people, even adding very large new
tax cuts, while starting to cut significantly into basic programs like
child care and housing assistance.”
-- Bob Greenstein, of the Center for Budget and Policy
Priorities, on President Bush’s 2005 budget (www.cbpp.org).
“While worst case planning is valid and vital, acting on worst case
assumption is neither safe nor wise.”
-- WMD in Iraq: Evidence and Implications, an analysis of the
case for war against Iraq by the Carnegie Endowment of
International Peace.
“We were almost all wrong.”
-- David Kay, former chief of U.S. weapons inspection in Iraq,
admitting in congressional testimony that it is unlikely weapons
of mass destruction will ever be found there (Washington Post,
February 2).
“For us to get bogged down in the quagmire of an Iraq civil war would
be the height of foolishness.”
-- Dick Cheney in 1991 when he was secretary of defense
(Chicago Sun Times, April 14).
