I think this was mentioned in this documentary that I saw recently on Netflix streaming.

Not the best documentary, but is a good primer of the history between evangelism and politics in the U.S.

Kinda reminds me of the story that Rumsfeld would dress his military advice up as biblical quotes to get Bush to lap it up.

...i waste too much time lurking here. just spent the last five minutes wondering why my cursor wouldn't highlight the spoiler tags, until i realized that those were actually censors.
...i'm gonna go to sleep.

but yea, those slides are creepy.

seriously?

Exactly how much cocaine did George Bush do?

please someone animate this

 

[Always-honest]

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

Hell yeah.. Bush can actually read.?

 

[CultureClearance]

seriously?

Exactly how much cocaine did George Bush do?

No amount of drugs can brainwash a man. It's what happened to him after he was done with all those drugs and alcohol that effed him up beyond repair.

 

[Kaako]

Can't say that I'm surprised. *sigh*

 

[polyh3dron]

Yep this is old, and we already know about the daily security briefings framing it as a holy crusade.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

maybe deep down somewhere bush had good intentions.... but those project for a new american century twisted him beyond belief....

 

[Calcaneus]

We had this guy as our fucking president for two terms, really puts the "Obama is gonna destroy America" cries into perspective.

George Bush waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the middle east. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to President Jacques Chirac were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
George was a president for 2 years. When he was young he watched the elections and he said to dad "I want to be on the whitehouse daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the arid middle eastern country Iraq he knew there were demons.
"This is Chirac" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So George gotted his war machine and blew up the country.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John rocketed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the administration fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then George was a zombie.

please someone animate this

She said Charlemagne got caught up in some complicated things
She wiped at her nose and she winked

 

[Death Dealer]

I believe it.

This wouldn't surprise me. Countless times news has suggested that Bush was a decent guy, but very unintelligent, gullible, and manipulative.

And Cheney is of above average intelligence, but somewhere down the road made an irrational leap to an extreme state of paranoia that justifies breaking all rules in order to achieve safety. And lots of lobbyists cashed in.

Just listen to Cheney explaining why invading Iraq is a terrible idea in 1992:

He clearly understood that it was insanely dangerous and stupid.

 

[laserbeam]

Nothing new. Obama says we are partners with God when it comes to life and death and all that stuff.

 

[Asmodai]

If we weren't fighting the demons over there, they would come over here!

It all makes perfect sense! If only he had told the people, I'm sure McCain would have been elected.

While I can't say it is true, anybody who says it can't be true is a moron to the highest degree.
