Jeez, you Canadians don't know anything. Americans like Bush because "he keeps
us safe," "he's a likeable guy," and "he has strong morals and values."
All right, the real reasons are these: he has terrified most Americans into
believing that some dirty Arab will kill us all in our sleep unless Bush is in
office; he's successfully masqueraded as an amiable everyman despite his
family's generations of uber-wealthy privilege, and he has successfully postured
himself as a man of God despite his lifetime of excess and his complete
rejection of the Beatitudes, among other New Testament wisdom.
In short, a large number of Americans have irresponsibly based their conclusions
about Bush on the fabrications put forth by him, by his adminstration, and by
the very Bush-Friendly "Liberal" Media.
At this point, some mothercheney-er like O'Reilly would indignantly sputter "You
hear that, folks? Schuler thinks you're all stupid."
Well, not really. I don't think that people are organically stupid, but I think
that they often do not have the means or desire to undertake a thorough analysis
of the facts.
A thirty-year-old mom&pop land deal in Arkansas? That's worth spending millions
to investigate a President.
A thirty-year-old shirking of one's duty while others died for Bush's cowardice?
No way, we can't waste time on that--it's in the past, and we've got an
unwinnable War on Terra to win!
Dave!
