1) Arabs and Muslims should be subjected to racial profiling because Islam is a âœJohnny-come-latelyâ religion and Muslims âœpray to someone who wants to kill you.â (If, as regards religion, the Old Ones are the best, why isn't he praying to Cthulu?) 2) "Might Some Argue That Lamont (Democratic Senate Nominee, CT)...

Anyone interested in keeping tabs on the Bush Administration might well find ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif){kind=small} thinkprogress and/or electricescape worth following. Or just disturbing.

update to earlier cynicism: FEMA is apparently directing people to send their 'aid dollars' via Pat Robertson: http://www.electric-escape.net/node/9electricescape) (NB: the FEMA page appears to have been modified since that was spotted) By manipulating the aid process and diverting resources, Bush is now killing civilians in his own country to further his religious policies. | ||

So: - New Orleans is considered a "sinful city" by much of the American Right. - Bush has apparently been cutting back funds for flood defences for years. - There are complaints about the slow rate at which aid is being delivered. - Bush responds by "reassuring" the public that aid is being delivered as quickly as it can be passed though "faith based and community organisations" (sic) (translation left as an exercise for the cynical). And the lead article on the news that I woke up to, before that one: The 'ringleader' of the 7/7 attacks promises futher violence against britons "because we support our government's attacks on 'his people'". I'm not sure who's more delusional here, but it's not got the day off to a particularly encouraging start. | ||

The exercise will simulate an attack by a fictitious radical group called Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled. Under the scenario, a bomb is placed on the bus and is detonated while the bus is traveling on Durham, causing the bus to land on its side and fill with smoke.Article via ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} achanchinou.Biometrics & ID card update: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/0 Oh, and the tube's managed to delay me three times in three days this week - wonder if they can make the full five? | ||

Bush is campaigning at events billed as Ask President Bush. Only supporters are allowed in. Talking points are distributed to questioners. In Traverse City, Michigan, a 55-year-old social studies teacher who wore a Kerry sticker had her ticket torn up at the door. "How can anyone in the US deny someone entry?" she asked. "Isn't this a democracy?" http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections20 | ||

Michael Moore yesterday released unseen footage of the new CIA boss explaining his own unsuitability for the role. The scene, which didn't make the cut for Fahrenheit 9/11, shows Porter Goss pointing out that his lack of language and computer skills means he "wouldn't get a job" with the CIA. The White House dismissed the footage as "hearsay". Duhwha? http://www.guardian.co.uk/Film/news/sto | ||

http://www.guardian.co.uk/aids/stor This of course means that Bush's "$15 billion anti-aids commitment" is in fact being spent almost entirely on evangelising christian morality. Amazing what you can pay for with taxes in a non-religious nation, ain't it? | ||

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Politics/home "It applies equally to far-right evangelical Christians as to extremists of the Islamic faith" So we won't be letting Bush back in, for example? More seriously, laws of religious limitation are grossly inappropriate in any country with an official, constitutional state religion. | ||

|---|---|---|
Since the primary rebuttals to many of GWB's policies and actions seem to come from the founding fathers and "great presidents" of the USA, it seems that the real question that has to be asked, is:Why does George Bush hate the USA* so much? http://www.wisdomquotes.com/000958.h http://www.livejournal.com/users/mhw/31 (and I'm sure readers can think of many more) * I'm aware that the usual quote is "hate America", but imperialist common use notwithstanding, America is a twin continent, not a country. (We'll leave to one side the sheer absurdity of the phrase "Hate-America Liberals") | ||

One of the reasons why George Bush has refused to restrain Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is that his political allies in the Christian Coalition believe that the Rapture - the first stage of the Apocalypse - cannot begin until the Jews have taken posession of the lands decreed by the Bible to be theirs, after which they will be converted to Christianity. By supporting Israel against Palestine, they believe they are hastening the Apocalypse, and hence their own exaltation. [Posted with hblogger 1.0 http://www.hexlet.com/] | ||
