G.W. probably has done more to hurt the conception that there is good government and you should have faith.
If it really is the close on the George W. Bush chapter, I am reminded of when I quit Catholic School after the 1st Grade telling my parents that I would not go back.
A corpulent nun with a large hairy wart and an aversion for soap and bathing, used to put me on her lap for Saturday’s Catholic School sessions. I was maybe 6 years old, smaller than other kids, and definitely didn’t want the ridicule and to endure the smell that was wafting up from under the nun’s black dress.
In Church, I couldn’t understand why there was simulated cannibalism and vampirism, as they were trying to get me to eat “Jesus Crackers”, simulating flesh or the body of Jesus, and drink simulated blood, “Jesus Wine”.
If Jesus Christ really lived, it is my opinion that he is probably the best known political activist. He protested unfair taxes and intrusive government and got nailed for it.
George W. Bush and the nun in this story are a different kind of “Icky”.
Someone who spent his youth bopping prostitutes while high on cocaine and drunk on hard liquor, shouldn’t be pretending to be some sort of moral crusader as US President. When I hung out with Vincent Bugliosi in Montpelier, Vermont, after we ate lunch, we talked to passersby. A woman claiming to be a topless dancer down in Texas where George W. Bush hung out, told me in [this video], that George W. Bush cavorted with prostitutes while doing cocaine and in various stages of intoxication.
It is too early to tell the real damage wrought by George W. Bush. Religion may have taken its biggest hit in modern times due to G. W., and We the People may just need to change the name of United States to more closely describe the country we’ve transitioned into, may I suggest, “The People’s Republik of Hypocrania”?
I decided to post the above after reading [this] OpEd piece.
