Puritanism of George Bush

[bmichaelh]

There is a great article from the Guardian on the influence of Puritanism on Bush's ideology.

Bush uses the same language that Puritanists used toward their enemies.

2. maybe I call BS on this, if puritanism were influential - no lies

would be necessary. How would he dare. Thou shalt not bare false witness, right. Too much lying to be anything of any church. (Just my thoughts on it.) I'm sick of him using religion as his calling to do all this, yet lie his ass off doing, it? No, no, no, no, no.... !!!

3. Its just camoflage

Bush is as much a Puritan as Tony Soprano is a good Catholic. But it looks good on the campaign.
