WHO convinced Bush that God speaks through him?


______________________________________________

Bruce Bartlett, a domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and a Treasury official for the first President Bush, told Mr. Suskind that some people now look at Mr. Bush and see “this instinct he’s always talking about is this sort of weird, Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do.” He continued: “This is why George W. Bush is so clear-eyed about al-Qaeda and the Islamic fundamentalist enemy. He believes you have to kill them all. They can’t be persuaded, that they’re extremists, driven by a dark vision. He understands them, because he’s just like them.”

Who talked the Chimp into this? He is not smart enough to have dreamed this up on his own.

Who convinced Bush that God is speaking to him?

5. George Bush is a Dominionist.
http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/DirectoryRiseOfDominionismInAmerica.html

It is America's destiny to be the tool by which "Christianity" rules the world. This also has something to do with the 2nd coming and the Rapture.

When Bush talks about taking Democracy to other countries, it as a Trojan horse for "Christianity".

11. They have TRIED to explain the earpiece to him, but he just doesn't get it

There are reports Cheney even practiced talking to him through it in the same room, he'd say, "OK George, I'm going to talk into the microphone now, and you'll hear it in your ear, but it'still me, OK?

And George would say yes he got it, and then Cheney would say something into the mike and George would get that look he gets, his Man of Faith look, and Cheney would try to keep his temper, and they'd start all over again.

"No, George, that was me"

"Dick, I heard that voice in my own head. It was the Lord."

"OK George, let's try again. See this microphone?"

"That looks like a pretty small Mike, Dick"

(Cheney waits for Bush's giggles to subside.)

"It's a real microphone, George. Now I'm going out into the hall, and I'm going to whisper your daughters' names into it. You'll hear it in your ear, but it'll be me."

(Cheney walks out)

DICK!! God wants to talk to the TWINS!! Can you have Andy page them?

15. You almost made me a widow Labor_Ready
Hubby was eating a sandwich when I repeated your "eyes look like two piss-holes in a snowbank" and I think part of it went into his lung.

18. People who hear unseen voices have schizophrenia .
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 11:55 PM by moonbeams
He should be in a padded room somewhere.

I suspect the stress of the office has caused a deterioration in his mental health. Schizophrenia patients are usually advised to avoid excessive stress as it tends to cause them to have setbacks.

19. Billy Graham, as far as I know.
If it wasn't for him, George would still be a druggie loser without a presidency instead of a druggie loser with a presidency. Take away his evangelical Christian support and he's a loser all the way.

We ship same or next day by first class mail - there's still time to get some of these beauties!

20. He did
What's a great way for a bullying ne'er-do-well to enjoy unquestioned authority? Declare God's will as his own.

And since the dunderheads embraced him as a Man o' Gawd, they've got a fucked up dynamic going that can't be broken without a spectacular crash. They continue to sing hosannas, in spite of his obvious skeeziness, because now they have to or they'll look like the dumbest yokels on the planet (or worse, suffer a crisis of faith). Which feeds his ego monster and bolsters his swagger, which makes them clutch him all the harder...

When he gets bounced next week, the jeezo-fundies are gonna think it's the crime of the century.
