They Chose You Because they Trust You

Josh points to this bit of nonsense and BS from Bush:

Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: January 16, 2005 – January 22, 2005 Archives

“The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me.”

No, they chose what you misrepresented to them. You are a traitor to democracy, and worse, to truth itself. And then you used these deceptions for even greater evils. “History?” you said to Bob Woodward, “We’ll all be dead”. But what won’t be dead is YOUR legacy , Mr. Bush (I refuse to call you Mr. President)….your legacy will remain in history as one of the most destructive and decetiful and most servile to the corporations whose profits are the ultimate value….of all U.S. Presidents. The scary thing is, you’re not done yet. This country needs some heros to uncover your works for the rest of the world to see, so that the deception will end, and the world can move toward peace and rationality again.

JOsh points to THIS link quoting Deitrich Bonhoefer on Cheap Grace, and says that Bush brings this cheap grace into the White House. I would add that George W. Bush knows nothing of forgiveness. He credits Christ with changing his life, and yet refuses forgiveness to condemned murderers (indeed, one who testified to be a changed person via Christ, and he mocked her, in the media, with a cynical “Please don’t kill me”. Are these the words of a man who supposedly has had Christ “change his heart”? Seems a bit too much for a “Compssionate” man. It seems to be simply words, just like those avid Bush supporters who also put up “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” signs in their yard, while they approve of wars that have all the indications of being led by forces as “Anti-Christ” as it gets.
