Oct. 19th, 2006 06:27 pmBuy this book.
It's not just another one of those throw-away-in-six-months'-time books about why Bush sucks balls.
It's not just funny drawings about him.
It's literally FULL of direct quotes from him and his advisors, detailing all of the lies and half-truths and seriously-what-the-fucks. And it's got funny drawings. AND it's coherent, from September 11th through Katrina, it uses his own quotes to show the horrible things they're doing.
It's small-press, and they can use the money.
My favorite sample so far:
---------
"Bush's faith-based initiatives and the policies of 'compassionate conservatism' seek to shift the responsibility from goevernment welfare programs to religious charities, which would be funded by taxpayer dollars."
[Bush Quote] "My attitude is, the government should not fear faith-based programs -- we ought to welcome faith-based programs and we ought to fund faith-based programs. Faith-based programs are only effective because they do practice faith. It's important for our government to understand that" [Jennifer Loven, "Bush Makes Appeal on Faith-Based Programs," AP 1/15/04] (This is accompanied by a drawing of Bush with a halo and a tiny dude with an enormous question-mark over his head.]
[Bush Quote] "Intractable problems, problems that seem impossible to solve, can be solved. There is a miracle of salvation that is real, that is tangible, that is available for all to see." [ibid] (Now it's Bush from the waist-down--with long devil fingers and a pointy tail, accompanied by previous dude saying "Wait a minute!!! You want government to subsidize religious groups!")
---------
Yep, that's really our President all-but-saying "I'm funding things for Christians only. Because only we deserve them. Also, please listen to me and convert."
I think it's terribly important for people to buy and read this book, as it's a great tool to use against those who don't believe what our President has said and what he has lied about.
It fits in a coat pocket.
Put post-its in it.
Use it.
I do.
