I Don't Think George Bush Was Ordained By God to Be President

People, I assume from the way far right Christian section of the Republican Party, have been writing to me and telling me that I must "submit" to this President, because that is what the Bible tells us. I really don't remember these people saying we should do the same for Bill Clinton.

These are the type of people who stood by and watched as Adolph Hitler consolidated his power. I think of them as sheep. Not God's flock, but passive people who will allow anyone with a Bible quote to walk all over them as they have their rights taken away. Amend that to say, "God Given Rights."

Do I think George Bush is another Adolph Hitler? No, but I do believe that our President is a man looking for both power and money. George came from a rich family and unlike the Kennedys and their passion for touch football on the beach, the Bushes like to count money as a sport.

George Bush is no dummy and he does know what he is doing and with every new war he can get us into, that Bush family fortune grows and grows. George Bush never made it on his own, he had his dad setting everything up for him. Having a dad in Congress, the head of the CIA, the Vice President of the United States and then the President will open a lot of doors for you.

Some day (I hope a long time from now) our President's father is going to die and Little George will have to fend for himself. Becoming President has given him his freedom from daddy's help. But in the mean time, the Bush family fortunes are growing by leaps and bounds because daddy Bush invested in the Military Industrial Complex and any American war, is now his gain.

Just as an aside, The Bushes invested in war along with the bin Laden family. Yes, that is right, both the Bush family and the Osama bin laden family picked the same company to put their money in. Does that surprise you? Well if it does, then please walk over to the right side and join the flock.

The Bush family money is in a business called the Carlyle Group. There is nothing sinister about it. The Carlyle group owns companies which make equipment, vehicles, and munitions for the US military. The more wars we have, the more equipment we use, the more guns we fire, the more money they make.

George senior, his Secretary of State Jim Baker, John Major, the former Prime Minister of Great Briton, Fidel Ramos, the former President of the Philippines, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, and some people from the World bank and some from Clinton administration and oh yes, those bin Ladens, put their money and influence together.

This is the big leagues and they have people like Aruther Levitt, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Karl Otto Pohl, former president of the Bundesbank, and former Thai Premier, Anand Panyarachun.

Nothing these people do that I know of is illegal. They are businessmen who use their influence to further their corporation's sales. That is Capitalism. As the Carlyle Group grows and makes more money, President Bush's inheritance gets bigger.

So, ask this question, which has been asked before. How will George W. Bush personally make millions, if not billions from his War on Terror? The same way many rich Americans get their money, he'll inherit it.

Now back to the flock. I know that you people were dazzled when a President of the United States started using Bible quotes and talked about prayer, but start thinking. If Bush really was a Christian and wanted to be Christ like, wouldn't he have been out helping the poor and the infirmed? Would we still have children and thousands of them, living homeless in the richest nation in the world?

Would Christ attack another country and kill a hundred thousand innocent civilians like George Bush did in Iraq? Just think of George Bush's campaign ads and ask yourself if Jesus would stoop that low?

I don't know what Adolph Hitler said to the German people back in 1933 when he was coming into power, but it worked. Well George Bush found out what he had to say to get many Americans to think he could walk on water and talk directly to God and it worked.

What we have to remember is that George Bush is our employee and he is answerable to us and to God. Blind faith in any earthly ruler only means trouble. George Bush is a business man and a good one. He is making his family and his friends richer than they would have been under a Democratic administration. That is why big business backed Bush. Sure I believe that the man prays and yes he does go to church and he can quote the bible, but all that means to me, is that we should watch him a lot closer.

Jesus said, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." George Bush prayed and quoted his way right into that White House and that is a great worldly reward that he will parley into a fortune.
