Somebody please help me. (Bush - Love Thy Neighbor)
"Whether they be Christian, Jew, or Muslim, or Hindu, people have heard the universal call to love a neighbor just like they'd like to be called themselves."—Washington, Oct. 8, 2003

"The true strength of America happens when a neighbor loves a neighbor just like they'd like to be loved themselves."—Elizabeth, N.J., June 16, 2003


From the Complete Bushisms: http://slate.msn.com/id/76886/

What is it with Bush's obsession about "Love Thy Neighbor"? He uses it all of the time and at completely inappropriate moments. More often than not, he completely screws it up.

This one is truly the most ludicrous (on a similar subject):

"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you."—Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2002

For heaven's sake, this idiot is the (selected) President of the United States. My God, we have Barney in the White House.

Though, in Bush's case, he's more like Barney with a Bazooka.

Bazooka Barney, bombing Baghdad.

1. You know there are only so many words he can remember at a time.

4. Yep, and he speaks in choppy phrases - drives me crazy.
He pauses at the wrong times and speaks in those goofy four-word phrases.

2. What he meant to say was
You should always love your neighbor, except for in two rare instances. Does your neighbor look like this?

:dem:


If so, he supports the terrorists.

If not, you are halfway there. One test remains. Take your neighbors hand (as good neighbors do) and hold it up to this computer screen between

here

















and here.


Is your neighbor's skin darker than the "patriot test" above? If so, he is probably a freedom-hater.

3. Hehe. Very nice.
Maybe the real reason we're supposed to visit shut-ins is to make sure they're not harboring "terraists".

6. And isn't it sad that...
...he is preaching to love thy neighbour, when he in fact discriminates so badly against minorities? That certainly isn't living up to his own words, is it?

8. Yes, and he bombs in the name of God.
What a contradiction. God "told" him to blow the crap out of Iraq.

9. showing his simpleton side again. How quaint
while he isn't blowing up a country, imploding US international relations, sapping the lifeforce out of the economy, cutting funding for essential poverty programs during a period of extended unemployment.....
