Reply #15: I met a Bushbot last night at a party at a friend's house. [View All]

She apparently has been counseling some terrorism victims from Israel and seems to have internalized some of their trauma and opinions. She said that Bush was the greatest president and the only one who can protect us. She said that if I understood terrorism, I would understand how the Iraq war is essential to fight the terrorists. I told her that there was no threat to us in Iraq before we got there and I asked her if Bush was protecting us, why aren't our ports secured, or our chemical plants protected. She would not be swayed. I think she needed some therapy. She seemed really detached from any reality but her own. I didn't want to get into a big argument with her because the friend whose place we were in is also a Bush supporter, although less robotic about it.
I think that militant Jews are scary in some of the same ways as militant Christians and Muslims.
