Elizabeth Hates George Bush

"Freedom is not a gift America gives the world; it is a gift God gives humanity." -G.W. Bush, in today's State of the Union address

Okay, let's take this apart for the screaming propaganda it is.

Back in my lit crit pomo days this crap from Bush would be excellent fodder. Especially out of context like this.

God? Who or what is that? Humanity? Freedom? American? Bush (his speechwriters and handlers) throw around these sorts of terms as if the self-righteous, bull-headed meaning he has chosen is the same for everyone.

It's supposed to be fun to play deconstructionist but Bush takes all the fun out of it. He's just a pig. He makes me want to go back to playing with my groundhog puppet.
