I don't get it.
I really do not understand why people venerate Bush as some kind of ethical, moral, conscientious, respectable role model and leader. I also don't get why people think he is religious.
He's an addict, full of hate. He likes to deny freedom to his citizens and advocate torture. He cheats with our money, and probably on his wife.
What redeemable value does he have?
So, the following stories confuse me more than they annoy me.
First, a veteran who earned three Purple Hearts decided he'd give one of them to Bush for all the "abuse" he'd been taking from the Democrats and some members of the media.
As the article states, the leap of faith here is that a) Bush taking heat on an op/ed page is synonymous to getting shot, and b) that newspaper writers and a member of the Democratic Party are enemies of the United States. Both logical progressions are complete and utter BS. But I don't really think I can blame the vet for his flawed logic as much as I blame Bush for accepting the gift. Real classless move from a guy who already held no esteem in my world view.
And in recent days, Bush used a pen given to him by an Ohio man who lost his son in Iraq to sign the veto that would have ended the war. While I am in no place to judge a man who has lost his son in war, I can and will judge Bush for taking said pen and using it as a political prop.
I should know to expect this but it just keeps surprising me.
