    Whoa that's a great incentive to be a patriot isn't it? That's what he told us to do after 09/11. Does he have any new ideas, or only those that will feed the coffers of his big monied benifactors.

    He's still feeding his line about protecting the US from overseas threats, and spreading democracy. Will we still buy this?

    When you over extend this Christmas remember Bush has tightened down the bankruptcy laws, so you may lose your job and not be able to pay the bills. Tough titty. Corporations still have their protections and still practice predatory lending practices.

    Ha! Ha! I heard that speech, "I encourage you to shop." That's the best he can do. He should take a course in public speaking, maybe then he wouldn't stutter and say "uh" so much. Every time he speaks I shake my head, this is our president?

    I believe the man is a FUCKIN MORON! He may be able to handle his own family budget (IF the Bush's are even ON one!), But, He ain't getting into MY pocket!
    To any FEEB's reading this, I'm talking about the MAN. NOT the OFFICE.
    Thank GOD he can't run for a 3rd or 4th term.

    Look, I love a good conspiracy . . .

    Lord knows they create some of the best arguments on HF.

    But damn son, you are so fuckin detached from reality it's disturbing.

    Your every post is about Bush this and Bush that and 9-11 this and 9-11 that.

    FACT: This war is necessary (because even if it were explained to you, you still wouldn't accept the truth)
    FACT: When Arabs in the desert run out of oil, they run out of resources.
    FACT: When Arabs run out of resources they have no way to feed their fucking people.
    FACT: When they no longer have a way to feed their people . . . guess what, they have two options:
    A. Die
    B. Wage a Jihad
    FACT: If Arabs wage a Jihad against the Western World the entire desert will wind up a waste land.
    FACT: If that happens Muslims around the world will wage a Jihad and then they will be exterminated.
    FACT: Arab Nations will be forced (by necessity so call it Allah's will if you must) to embrace the Western World's System (in one form or another to survive because there is no fucking way the world will stand by and let Muslims take us back 1500 years in time and force our women to walk around like goddamn ghosts.

    FACT: Bush is doing your people a fucking favor.
    FACT: Israel is the financial puppeteers behind America.
    FACT: Israel is doing your people a fucking favor.

    Come to grips with reality because the SHIT is inevitable. Israel will become the Religious Center of the World (for all you nutt jobs that NEED to pray facing planets or stars or whatever the fuck you're worshipping) and Mohammed will be proven to be nothing more than a epileptic with false prophecies. Israel's prophets will still be followed because Jews MADE their prophecies come true (even though half of their prophets weren't even Hebrews (they were taken from various different cultures and given new names).

    Now shut up and crawl back into your delusional fucking hole and stop making stupid goddamn threads. If you must, at least let them be funny. The sad thing is, I make threads like this too. But I do it for comic relief when idiots like you follow suit.

    Jesus Christ.

    BUSH IS PROTECTING THE US BY GIVING YOU DUMB FUCKIN DESERT RATS DEMOCRACY . . . If you had ANY FUCKIN COMMON SENSE you would know that.

    Why wouldn't he want you to spend money? After 9/11, no one did anything and we went into a recession.

    christmas has almost completely lost its meaning as a holiday and is now just a temporary boost economically. i never shop during christmas, and thats not because of bush. And personally, i believe, and pray, that oil wont be used anymore before middle eastern/asian countries run out

    That's just not true. Many did great things. Around here kids held car washes and donated the proceeds to the 09/11 fund. Adults donated as much as the could and were vigilant. The artistic types created memorials so that it would never be forgotten. The American people came together in ways that hadn't been seen since Pearl Harbor. People wanted to do somthing constructive. Is Wall Street the only thing in the US that matters anymore? blind consumerism the only thing that props up this mighty nation?

    Telling people to shop right after 911 was really shallow and sleezy, especially telling people to go down to his brother's state of Florida and spend more money. People needed some consoling words after all the deaths.

    It was almost as bad when he looked America in the face and told them a 911 investigation wasn't needed. That was a real slap in the face to all the relatives of the victims. We needed an investigation of another president's personal lovelife but not of an event that was one of the biggest national security disasters and loss of life in U.S. history.

    Don't people get it? He wants everyone to shop so that he can funnel more money over to Iraq - Bush's sandbox.

    What's sad is the majority of the American public did just that. They are still paying for crap that is filling landfills.

    That's the saddest part of the story. Most Americans wanted to do something constructive, and their Chief Executive told them to shop! It demonstrates just how in touch he is with the rest of the nation.

    A lot of people have trouble paying their winter utilities and health care costs, but we should be encouraged to overspend.

    Americans spend more of their disposable income than people in other nations.
