3. A thousand points of light

Was Bush's way saying that charities, not government should help the disadvantaged. Just sayin'.

[Dave Starsky]

4. YES! This cannot be overstated.

Bush wasn't presenting his vision of brotherly love. He was pretty clear that there should be no social safety net, and that people who are disadvantaged should be able to rely on charities.

What he said is the direct modern equivalent of Charles Dickens' "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" It disgusts me that this is brought up as an example of his imagined humanitarianism.

10. Bush was rich, gave little

Bush was very rich, but was very sparse in giving money to charities to help the unfortunate.
Little of his wealth came from hard work and salaries.

I misfiled where I read this, sorry.

7. Try saying it in a Northern Irish accent

It sounds even better

11. Or a Glasgow growl.

Because that is how I read it.

[Soph0571]

12. Yeah that works equally

My boss is from Easterhouse and I could see him saying that in a very satisfying growl
