Christian Newswire: President Bush, Not a Leader

President Bush, Not a Leader

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- President Bush is not a leader, but rather has become so politically correct that you cannot believe him when he talks about Iraq or anything else. What he says in public is not what he really believes. Why doesn’t our President just take a firm stand?

America has several problems but President Bush refuses to do anything about them. We have a problem with Islamic groups which is a political group with an agenda, just like the Nazis were a political group with an agenda in World War II.

Yet we continue to talk to these people like they were simply wayward children in need of some maturity. In reality these people are radicals who say they want to kill us. Instead of doing anything about them we simply wait around while they become more organized, stronger and more prepared for an all out war against us.

...

“Why does our President absolutely refuse to close our borders? There has to be a reason for his lack of action and I have begun to wonder what his reason is?” said Don Swarthout, President, Christians Reviving America’s Values (CRAVE). “Have we become so concerned about the world and what it thinks that we have forgotten how to be Americans? Truthfully, the world wants to take America down.”

...

“America has several problems, including the Islamic political agenda, open borders we have refused to close, the radical agenda of the ACLU and unchecked governmental spending,” according to Don Swarthout. “We must get a handle on these things immediately or America as a nation will perish.”

6. I'd have gotten an 'F' for a paper like that.
"America has several problems." That's like saying New Orleans was "moistened" by Katrina.

28. As editor of my high school newspaper in both 11 and 12, this is
pitiful. This poorly written and horribly worded article would never have made it into my newspaper.

3. "radical agenda of the ACLU"?
Since when was defending the rights of the disenfranchised become a radical agenda? Wait for the day when he'll be screaming for the ACLU to defend him...

8. I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut it's about 'the gay agenda'
Lord almighty am I ever sick of these so-called christians with their insistence on making the dogma observed by their preferred brand of christianity into the law.

I'd also be willing to bet they prefer paul's brand of dogma over jesus's... all that 'disrespecting authority is disrespecting god' crap.

Vomitous.

12. Well they defended Rush Limpbaugh and the KKK....
...so I can see where they can consider the ACLU's agenda extreme.

14. That's a joke, right? Free speech is extreme?
Maybe it is, but it's our right, and as such, they defend it.

7. It took the Christian fascists six years to figure this one out only ...
...because up to this point they thought they had a mind-locked president rather than a mindless president!

9. I Write Better While Stoned
And no.... I'm not a writer nor supposed to be one. The worst part about this article is the logic behind it. These fundementalist folks are seriously full of shit or just dellusional.

11. Maybe I was raised with the wrong bible
I guess my bible is different, I don't seem to be able to find the verses in which Jesus said to Hate your enemies, put your interests above anything else,and screw the poor. I am as scared of that so called "Islamic political agenda" as the agenda that these so called Christians have tried to impose on us.

16. Several problems
Edited on Tue Aug-22-06 10:11 AM by DemonFighterLives
turrowists, muslims, mexicans, gays, abortions, stem cell research. :sarcasm:

Why doesn't the president take a firm stand? He is an arrogant poser. He likes chaos and leading lemmings. Don't stray to far from the flock now, I'm sure the pRetzeldunce will do something soon to get you back in line. :dunce:

19. The run away from Bush strategy
I had read yesterday that this is what the Republicans were going to do to try to do to fight against the Dems rubberstamp meme, smear Bush. That's what Scarborough's "is Bush stupid" segment was all about, now this. They know they have to separate themselves from him in order to have any chance of winning at all. Democrats ought to use this opportunity to bury Republican policies once and for all.

Even Lieberman is in on it saying we should (or should have) sent MORE troops to Iraq and bashing Rumsfailed.

31. The Righter-Than-Bush segment
Unlike the more-left-than-the-Democrats, which is a group with many humanitarians, activists, civil rights leaders, and general heros, the "more RW than Bush" group is nothing but hate leaders and hate mongers. As someone much to the left of the establishment democrats, I'm very much in favor of a more open and free discussion. But these people -- well it's hard to take them seriously. They make the world workers party seem very reserved.

33. I think we must get a handle on people like Don Swarthout immediately
or America as a nation will perish.

Um... Mr. Swarthout, by any chance have you noticed how the index of opinion via multiple polls and surveys has shown a correlation between republi-CON take-over/rule in Washington - and the majorities who say America has gone off on the wrong track? We do seem to have more Americans saying this, the longer we're under the thumbs of the Radical Wrong.

34. Wow, just got to the 2nd paragraph--my mind is already blown.
"We have a problem with Islamic groups which is a political group with an agenda, just like the Nazis were a political group with an agenda in World War II."

Where to start.. :wow:

How about, "my dog is a breathing life form that drinks water, just like the Nazis were breathing life forms that drank water in World War II."
