“If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic,” Bush said. “It's just -- I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective.
Of course it's acceptable to think that there's "any kind of comparison.
especially when its "unnacceptable to think" something as king george would have it...
Quote:
With increasing rage, he [bush] and his administration have begun to tell us, we are not permitted to disagree with them, that we cannot be right, that Colin Powell cannot be right.
And then there was that one, most awful phrase.
In four simple words last Friday, the President brought into sharp focus what has been only vaguely clear these past five-and-a-half years - the way the terrain at night is perceptible only during an angry flash of lightning, and then, a second later, all again is dark.
“It's unacceptable to think," he said.
It is never unacceptable to think.
And when a President says thinking is unacceptable, even on one topic, even in the heat of the moment, even in the turning of a phrase extracted from its context, he takes us toward a new and fearful path -- one heretofore the realm of science fiction authors and apocalyptic visionaries.
not surprisingly..KG continues to surge in the polls (and i wont post a link..so dont ask) even as..and maybe because..he suggests revoking the very freedom of thought as above...as such..olbermann prolly wont even be on the streets..let alone on the air..much longer after the 2006 repugnican landslide...and needless to say..it will be far too late by the time anyone stops to wonder why they didnt listen to keith olbermann in 2006..provided..of course..that its still "acceptable" to wonder so once it gets to that point...

Very telling pause after "just". Methinks the truth that he and his camp are self-righteous frauds crept in for a split second before he dismissed it almost as soon as the truth dawned. Much darkness and ignorance like a fog over this administration.
I think this is what the so-called "War on Terror" is mainly about for many of Bush's most zealous supporters- an excuse to appear righteous to themselves and those of their ilk.
They want to cast themselves as white knights slaying evil for Jesus.
Well isn't that special?

George is getting progressively more pissed off at every press conference I have seen recently.
Whats that you say? He's back on the whiskey and beating his wife?

But who put the fun in fundamentalism?
The statement "its unacceptable to think XXX" implies a closed mind, or perhaps someone who wishes others to be closedminded.
What happens in your mind, and stays in your mind, is entirely your business.

Apparently most people have unacceptable thoughts, because you can obviously link A to B whether you're in favor of either A or B.
He seems to think along the lines of moral judgement, so that it's unacceptable to question America's moral superiority. That most certainly has a counterpart with the Islamic Extremists, the belief to be exclusively let in on Gods Own Truth, which no one may question.
That's a crusader/fundamentalist mindset from both sides of the fence.

Quote:
Is the Republican Strategy on Terror Having an Effect? The Bush administration's strategy of emphasizing the continuing threat of terrorism may be having an effect. President Bush's job approval rating has risen to 44%. Americans have become more positive about the war on terror. Voters are more likely to support a candidate who backs Bush on terrorism rather than one who opposes him. By a slight margin, Americans tend to think the country will be safer if the GOP retains control of the House.
I hardly call 44% a good enough of a "surge" to predict a 2006 republican landslide, however.

Why not? It's been a comedy of errors so far, why change now?
