YO: Gawd! The blindness of his man!
By Peter Baker

President Bush said yesterday that he senses a "Third Awakening" of religious devotion in the United States that has coincided with the nation's struggle with international terrorists, a war that he depicted as "a confrontation between good and evil."
Bush told a group of conservative journalists that he notices more open expressions of faith among people he meets during his travels, and he suggested that might signal a broader revival similar to other religious movements in history. Bush noted that some of Abraham Lincoln's strongest supporters were religious people "who saw life in terms of good and evil" and who believed that slavery was evil. Many of his own supporters, he said, see the current conflict in similar terms.
Orwellingly Yurz sez:
But, Gee War, you STILL don't get it! YOU'RE the slave owner! Would you please have a "First Awakening" of your own? It would be tough for you, though, because you'd see in an inkling just how terribly wrong you've been all this time and how many people have perished because of it.
I guess you're just gonna keep clacking those ball bearings Captain Queeg gave ya, huh?
OY!
