A Wreck of A Speech by George Walker Bushitler
Two excerpts from George Walker Bushitler’s second coronation speech demonstrate how an illiterate POS POTUS cannot end up with a decent speech, in spite of 22 edits and proably inputs from 220 people.

In the first excerpt (below the dotted line), note the “delicate” way in which the 9/11 tragedy is termed “a day of fire”. The use of this analogy is critical in the first thrust of the speech, which presumably justifies the “war on terror” (Afghanistan and Iraq) that Bush is selling as his program to extend “freedom” with the use of military violence.

In the second excerpt, incredibly, he then crudely uses the same analogy of “fire” that represents the carnage of 9/11 to try to represent enLIGHTenment (which is a far better term, involving light rather than fire – normally, FIRE “inFLAMEs” people rather than enLIGHTnening them).

As an analogy, the lighting of a FIRE “in the minds of men” creates a horrible image. This is compounded by further mangling: the fire creates warmth through it’s power (again, not light) and the SAME fire then BURNS those who fight it’s progress (i.e., those who resist the Bushitler Dynasty).

And then comes the final malapropism: the “untamed fire” reachest the darkest corners of the world (finally, the fire brings light to the darkness).

Note how easily it would have been to use light rather than fire in the second phrase. But of course, this would have changed the message: they deliberately use FIRE because of it’s association with FIREPOWER.

2. (modified) By our efforts, in response to those who have lit the fires of terrorism, we have lit a beacon– a bright light in the minds of mankind.
It enlightens those who feel its warmth, it warns those who fight its progress, and one day the brilliant light of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
From GEORGE WALKER’S BUSHITLER’s Speech of Jan 20 2005:


1. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical – and then there came a day of fire.

2. By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well – a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.

10. Or maybe "a dark presidency forged in the fires of Mount Doom"
Okay, maybe it's time to stop watching "LOTR: Return of the King" for yours truly. :P

11. ...more like 'hell's fire.' Truly evil.
And when he says: "freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world"...does he mean that one day PERHAPS freedom will reach our own shores (now truly 'dark' with lies and oppression)?

13. Maybe it's a coded reference to the Reichstag Fire.
And a message to get ready for Kristallnacht.

Not this time, Frat Boy.

:mad:
