"The blind leading blind"

Many of us that watched in on the last night of the Republican National Convention might have had temporary momentary bouts with guilt. Using 9/11 to rally supporters around George Bush to tie in a justification for invading Iraq, conveyed a sort of surreal madness. It was a party serving a false sense of compassion and heroism, while beating the drums of war. Tears were seen dripping from faces in the audience as if George Bush was the embodiment of courage.

Apparently, this artificial sense of gaiety resonated with some viewers who watched the RNC. It is said, George Bush’s poll numbers went up in the double digits. The repeating pounding themes; will not waver, stand firm, capture and kill the terrorists, many would say, energized that base that seems to be byproducts of selective religious teachings.That base represents the constituents that gives life to the Bush administration.

That entity that described himself as meek, humble, and lowly that most of Bush’s constituents are followers of, also said, “ Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall become sons of God”.
