A Very Telling Article
Bush is in California this week. Today he spoke at USC and Bush supporters rivaled (and perhaps surpassed) the Bush protestors in number. What's most interesting is that the Bush supporters also surpassed the Bush protestors in knowledge and intellect.Here's a few sample quotes, but please read the whole (not long) article.
Bush protestor:
Along with the sea of anti-Bush posters, the protesters chanted their messages from a megaphone with sayings such as, "George Bush - we know you - your daddy was a killer too," and "Hands off Haiti."
Bush supporter:
"People don't support a war in Iraq, but if you look at it, we've liberated an oppressed people," said Ryan Reid, a business administration student at USC. "Saddam Hussein, thank God we caught him. He's killed over a million of his own people since the 1980s, and these people obviously wanted to keep him in power. I think we did the right thing."
Bush protestor:
"If you wait, Bush will take everything you have, and that's a guarantee. He will take your oil, he will take everything," said Lyzegte Blanco, a senior at Harbor College. "That's pretty much why we got Saddam Hussein out of office, because we wanted the oil. With Bush, there's always a hidden meaning."
Bush supporter:
The largest group of Bush advocates at the four corners was a group of Iranians waving flags and shouting praises of the president's international policies.
"We're here to support President Bush because he's for democracy, not only in Iran, but around the world," said 59-year-old Reza Ershadi.
Paranoid and unsubstantiated ramblings with a bitter, ignorant, twisted tongue versus well-spoken, freedom loving immigrants.
