Bush Increasing Religious Allusions President Bush, often portrayed as using a strict good-and-evil compass to navigate national issues, has always peppered his speeches with exhortations to moral and civic duty. With war, tragedy and terrorism confronting him now, his allusions to spirituality and morality seem to be increasing. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...&e=3&u=/ap/20030218/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_faith
I'm trying to find the link that discussed Bush's increased AA allusions in speeches. Can anyone help?
"AA"? I scoured that story and don't see any mention of anything with initials "AA". Seriously, what are you talking about?
I read an article a few weeks ago that analyzed the use of Alcoholics Anonymous language in Dubya's speech. Buzz words and ideas that supposedly come right out of the AA program. But now I cant find it.
Are you serious? If true, that would be like... like... rain on your wedding day or something. Of course, Bush trying to use Jesus as an inspiration for starting a war would be enough to make Alanys spin in her grave. If she was dead, of course.
This is very hard for me to do, but I've got to defend Bush here. The work that led to the use of the word "increasing" isn't really rigorous, is it? This smacks of a conclusion followed by research, and a bit of a cheap shot.
Bush keeps a notebook in his desk that contains photos of Al Qaeda members. Whenever one of them is killed or arrested, he takes the notebook out and draws an "X" through the face on the photo. Kind of like a teenage girl and her yearbook.
Good one. And Cheney's like the mullet-head who graduated 5 years ago, but still manages to find a date to the prom every year.
It is already known that Osama's wet dream to have a religious-based war: Islam against the Christian west. So it seems to me that perhaps Bush should try to steer clear of so many Christianity references in his speeches. Especially after his "crusade" clanger from a year ago.
Maybe if you're talking about Corey Feldman's career. [serious content so GT doesn't smite me]The serious point made by my original "spinning in the grave" post and my "Alanys" post is that there is a rather large disconnect between the actions of Mr. Bush and ideals of the man who founded the religion in whose style he is apparently increasingly attempting to speak.[/serious content so GT doesn't smite me]
