how hypocracy starts at the top

does anyone else find it scary that president bush is exactly the same person as the enemies he fights?

this is from his address to a joint session of congress and the american people:
"The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics -- a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children."

but then he goes ahead and practices a fringe form of catholic extremism that has been rejected by most god-fearing catholics in the country. and, worse yet, he makes political decisions, like picking harrier miers because of her faith, because even his god knows she isn't even remotely qualified. it wasn't a political decision; it was a religious and loyalty decision - the same logistics found in the enemy we're fighting.

and then there's this in his speech:
They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.

is he talking about us or them, because a lack of freedom is exactly what's been going on in this country. beyond the restriction of freedoms they instituted upon us through censorship and scare tactics, what's really scary is the lack of freedom of religions. take a good look; there's no real diversity in his cabinet. don't get me wrong; he's got minorities. but he only has devout cathoilcs. there aren't any jews or protestants or muslims. it's just catholics trying to force their way of life on us. that's no freedom of religion.

i had this insane music teacher in high school, a born-again christian, who taught us that if you played "stairway to heaven" backwards you can hear satanic messages. to be honest, it actually was a cool class in that he was teaching us crazytalk.

he's a born-again. so is our president. miers is a twice born-again (don't know how that works).

these people run our government, the same people who we're protecting ourselves against.

ironic, huh?
