Hi im a new member.. Defo anti-Bush: Bush's election campaign ran from "North to south" but was "Running on bravado"; "He doesn't like chocolate" possible reference to Bush's racist stance; either that, or his ignoring the issue of obesity; "He's born a liar, he'll die a liar"- over Sadam, Iran, etc; "Stop being so American" is asking us to turn away from the americanisation of our culture; its not the "time" or the "place" to be seen supporting that nation, or the things that characterise it:, such as "James Dean" and "blue jeans"; Bush/America want to "save the world," relying on a "miracle" in that they believe they are God's chosen ones, and that the 'War on Terror' is some divine retribution for Islam's sins; "Just like his dad"- ignorant and hard-headed, like Bush Snr. "Some things will never be different"; "Queing up for some more junk food:" 1/3 of american children are obese; and "They're getting so much younger"; "Bastard child of guilt and shame/ Bury your head in the sand"- Bush's reluctance to accept the fatal consequences of his actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. |
