What is up with the 'holy' Bush pictures?
I loaded my browser today, and guess what I saw? A picture of Bush, but he had a design behind him. This design made it look like there were rays emitting from his head. Has anyone else noticed these photos? I have seen other photos on Yahoo too. I have seen photos of Bush with lights that made it look like a halo, a logo that made it look like there were a circle of stars around Bush's head. Is this a coincidence or a trick by the 'liberal' media to portray Bush as a holy and good person?

1. Somebody should let the fundies know that
they are worshipping graven images when they download those pictures. Definitely a major sin.

<But surely Americans are more savvy than that. They’re used to living with telegenic spin since Kennedy’s days. There must be something about Bush himself that resonates.
I think he’s playing on the myth that we’re most susceptible to. The Hyannisport swell or the Georgia farmer are less ingrained in our popular mythology than the white-hatted cowboy out to destroy evil. John Wayne didn’t win a lot of Academy Awards for acting, but he brought in the box office. This may be another transparent Bush movie here, another stage set, but people gobble it up because it’s playing on this deep mythological American icons.>

There's more - read it, it's hilarious (and true!!)

16. Profiling, psychological programming, and brainwashing
In an earlier article, I reviewed the varied aspects of personality profiling and simulation. While serving as Head of the Artificial Intelligence Department at the U.S. Army War College, 1993-1995, I conducted studies on profiling, psychological programming, and brainwashing. I explored and developed personality simulation systems, an advanced technology used in military war games, FBI profiling, political campaigning, and advertising. Part of my discovery was that:

* unenlightened human minds are combinations of infantile beliefs and emotional patterns

* these patterns can be simulated in profiling systems

* these profiling systems can be used to program and control people

Personality simulation systems are being used to create political campaigns that apply voter profiles to control their voting behavior. TV commercials and programs use personality simulation to profile viewers to control their purchasing and viewing behaviors. And sophisticated propaganda and brainwashing techniques are being used by the Bush junta to keep American citizens under control.

6. Oh, that is blasphemous!
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin.

This is aweful and should make real Christians shudder!

8. How frigging lame
But I guess it will appeal to everyone whose dearest possesion is a picture of a Protsetant-form angel taken out of an airplane window, and sees Jesus's anglo-saxon features in an ad for spaghetti sauce.

10. There are people who beleive Bush is God's chosen president
When I first heard this flat statement in Florida last year I was stunned. After all, the woman said, wasn't it too much of a coincidence for Bush to get into office the way he did just so he could be the man in charge on 9/11?

Christ did it!

Of course, I would have preferred Our Lord swatting those planes before they hit, but then again, as Falwell? Robertson? said, they were His judgment for our evil gay, feminist, socialist ways.

Wonder why these people scare me so friggin' much?

14. good grief
Dubya doesn't know how to pronounce "subliminal", but you can bet Rove does, and that the latter has studied it.

19. Read this article.
The picture accompanying it should give you chills as well.

I posted it yesterday, but only a few read it. Maybe more people will read it here. It think it's important that everyone knows what the Christian right is up to.
