I don't know what to make of Bush's soundbites.
Now, I know what all the Bush nay-sayers think about his public speeches and whatnot, but I wonder what his supporters think. I mean, every single soundbite I am presented with.. by radio, television or internet, sounds like some archaic storytelling that you'd find in some fantasy novel as the elder is addressing his public to be on guard against a dire evil. A great evil lurks among us. They hate us and want to destroy us.
And on top of that all, there is no substance.. it's all the same thing. Over and over.
Some would call it fearmongering, but I question if these words even affect people. And if they don't, why is he speaking? How does the public respond to "these people are against our way of life and will stop at nothing to see our end." Now I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual and I hear these words and I feel like GWB must have just stepped out of Bill and Ted's phone booth right before he makes his speeches.
Please, someone give me the pro-Bush take on these harrowing words that seek to alert the masses of the grave danger that lurks. SHOULD I take up my pitchfork, or leave it in the shed?
