Scary Reply. Is this why Support Bush?

Question

I posted this question here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgSp16UHihuFLWQuzggRlAnsy6IX?qid=20060830220823AALPbAr

and one of the replies I got was from Andy, a level 5 answerer and this is what he said:

"Look. We're at war. When you dissent from the President -- from your leader, your Great Leader, your Beloved and Respected Leader -- during war, you are committing TREASON.

Misakes, if indeed there are any in Iraq, which I sincerely doubt -- Bush has done something at least to acquire new reserves of oil for the USA over there; nobody else had any bright ideas on that -- are besides the point.

The real war is against immorality and Godlessness. George W. Bush is the personal representative of Jesus in America. Who else has taken a stand on the really important issues of the day, issues that concern your soul and mine, and those of 300 million Americans, legal and illegal: abortion, flag burning, school prayer, the pledge of allegiance, crime

capital punishment, God in the court house, stem-cell research, child porn and other smut, oral sex, alcohol, contraception -- I could go on and on.

Not only are "all those Republicans who will vote Democrat, these ex-members of government and all those ex-Generals wrong", they are disloyal, traitors who should be severely punished.

God Bless George W. Bush and the United States of America"

Is that really why religious people really support Bush? What about the souls of the Iraqi's? People remember maybe different philosophy's but SAME GOD.

scubadog, I guess you didn't like my answer to your N. Korea question. And btw, I own my own company, it's a small business but it's mine. What do you do?

Answer 1

Look up the word "delusional" in the dictionary.
Apply to self.

Answer 2

That is a scary answer, and one that certainly echoes Donald Rumsfeld and company. The very idea that questioning a government is treasonous really defies the definition of a democracy. But I forget, we're more of a capitalistic society than a democracy, anyway.

As for calling GW Bush the personal representative of Jesus in America...um, right. I can't even begin to say what is wrong with that statement--lets not forget, though, that most wars are started in the name of religion, so the answerer may have some obtuse kind of a point there. I hadn't realized that the pledge of allegiance and prayer in school were the "really important issues" in this country...silly, treasounous me, I thought they were the war, the eradication of the middle class, the economy, the power that corporate interests maintain in our "government of the people", the loss of civil liberties we are experiencing, the illegal monitoring of what books people take out of libraries (and the whole "Big Brother" dystopian thing in general)...and thank God (oh, I mean, thank Bush), that our esteemed leader has been able to acquire more oil reserves for us over thar in Iraq (wtf?), or Exxon Mobil wouldn't have had the opportunity to post their 400% a quarter profits.

Answer 3

Why do you have to make such brash and ridiculous generalizations about Republicans? I'm not saying that all liberals do, but every liberal that is posting questions on Yahoo! Answers is always making such stupid generalizations about us and claiming that we're all a bunch of rich, bible-thumping lunatics.

Well, I'm not! Here is a little background information on me. I am 24. I grew up in a small town and was raised Catholic. (That is all the stereotypical Republican you will get out of me.) My family is not rich by any means, my sister and I had to share a car and all my siblings and I have worked since the day we turned sixteen. I have $15,000 of debt to my name, including student loans and I am not even close to getting out of school. I decided not to get confirmed when I turned 18 because I don't know if I believe in God. I don't go to church anymore unless my parents specifically ask me to accompany them. I listen to punk, rock, alternative, and rap music--basically anything but country. I hate country music. I love 80's pop music the most, I think. Especially groups like The Knack. I like The Killers and My Chemical Romance too. I have had gay friends and coworkers and I think they are some of the nicest and coolest people I have ever met, and over the last few years I have dated two Hispanics and a Muslim among many others.

So, don't tell me what a Republican is or how a Republican acts because I know!

Answer 4

Mixing religion and government is not a good thing. Calling Wubya the personal servant of Christ isn't so much scary as it is ignorant.
I can't imagine anyone who truly understands, believes and practices ('Practices' being the most important word in this sequence.) the teachings of Jesus Christ would for one second consider George W. Bush as his representative here in the physical world.

What has Wubya done for any poor person or people or nation? How has he attempted to teach or practice (again, 'practice) good will toward his fellow man or woman? Did Jesus want his tenets and faith delivered with large bombs and multiple bullets?

The United States of America has nurtured this devastating conflict in the Middle East for decades to the benefit of some very powerful and wealthy people and companies. Wubya and his boys have just recklessly taken it to the next level at the expense of the American public, American troops, and the Iraqi and Afghan civilian population.

This administration needs to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

Answer 5

Yes, I see your point. It is amazing to me, too, at times.
The scary part is that these goose-stepping yes men are everywhere. Wouldn't know an original or antithetical thought if it came up and bit them on the butt. But, they are entitled to their opinions, no matter how backward others may think it is.

Answer 6

different god. allah is not the same as the God of the Bible. i voted for bush twice, much to my chagrin. he is a chip off the old bush block. like his dad, he is pushing for a new world order. the SPP,
his lack of concern about the border, signing the real id act, as nauseum. he is very clever in using his cloak of religion. i bought it. twice. sorry.

Answer 7

Is there a question here? I support Bush, I am a Christian, but to say that I do not question some of his "rulings" or whatever you want to call them is wrong. Just because he is a devout Christian does not mean I trust his every move. But I do believe he follows the will of God and it is not for me to ask what God's will is for our country only that our country open their hearts and accept it.

Answer 8

Ah hah, so if a satanist got elected, went to war, and started forcing children to pray to lucifer in schools, speaking out against that would be Treason?

Obviously this guy is a lunatic, and it is very scary that people like this are out there, lots of them.

I wasn't very religious, but then GWB got elected, twice... Now even I believe in miracles. :p

Answer 9

Yes lets all follow a leader and not question anything he does... *rolls eyes* That very idea is so UN-AMERICAN it is ridiculous. One of the founding principles of our country is to question authority! Educate yourself and be committed in knowing what your govt is doing behind the scenes. Anyone who thinks other wise is a blind sheep who do not deserve to the rights entitled to us as Americans.

Answer 10

When you get a job, start paying taxes, purchase property and get out of diapers, then maybe your opinion will count.

By getting a job, I dont mean your part time gig at Sonic or Home Depot......

Answer 11

wow...that IS scary. Typical Republican
