"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities"... ?

Question

- Voltaire

How would you apply this to the Bush Administration and the current war on terror?

Specifically what absurdities, and what atrocities?

Answer 1

Exactly , you said the truth there . Can't make it any plainer then that .
And it was done with absolute finesse . The American people bought it hook , line and sinker !!!!!
Because Bush got away with it , it will be tried again and again , by both parties

Answer 2

I believe you mean, "more likely" to commit atrocities. Will is a little strong since I know many that believe utter nonsense that have not committed any atrocities. I would have to agree with the thrust of Voltaire's quote. Bad people do bad things, but to make a good person do something bad, well, that takes religion. I'm amazed at how many people claim to have a personal relationship with the deity in their head. Disturbing indeed.

Answer 3

No absurdities. No atrocities.

The absurd idea is that without evidence they accuse President Bush of lying about everything, except having sex with an intern and then calling her a lying sl*t. It always amazes me that Demophytes think calling a woman you have sex with a lying sl*t is okay. I will never get that absurdity.

I could go on with more and more totally absurd and propagandistic claims by the pro-slavery, anti-civil rights, Japanese imprisoning, Vietnam starting, nuclear weapon dropping Democrats.

Answer 4

Absurdity= Bill Clinton was a good president

Atrocities= Electing hillary to the whitehouse

Answer 5

I actually think it is a better fit to Gore and the global warming hysteria he is trying to cause. I can't wait to see what he tries to get his minions to do to save the world.........
