Cult of Personality: the Strange Birth of the Bushite


It was Johnny Canuck that alerted me to this emerging segment of humanity, the uniquely American creature I’ve taken, for a time, to call the Bushite. They are that still sizable chunk (yes Virginia, 30% is extremely low for an American president, but it’s still a chunk, do you see? Go look at a pie-chart. That’s a good girl!) that remain fiercely defensive of all things Bush in spite of all the evidence of so many foul and hideous goings-on. This is a brand new field for us armchair Cultural Anthropologists, and make no mistake about it, friend, “Doc” Sensey’s on the case! To learn, and by learning, ease you through these most difficult days. And it’s absolutely free of charge! Sure! It’s of Historical Significance, I’m told, by those in the know.

After a scintillating session in which Cajun Rooster suggested it irresponsible for Johnny Canuck (and indeed, others) to blame the President for the War in Iraq, I start to get a little bit of a glimpse about what you 30%ers are about, finally, which leads me to think about what you're going through right now.

Okay, let the healing begin.

First a survey here. Your opinions are fine, no right or wrong answer, okay? Tally ho!

1) Has George W. Bush, in your opinion, ever lied about anything to anybody during his tenure as President?

2) What mistakes (if any) would you say George W. Bush made before and during Gulf Deux?

3) Did Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass destruction?

4) Was Saddam Hussein responsible, in any way, for the events of 911?

5) Is there a demonstrable link between Saddam Hussein and Al Queda prior to Iraq Deux?

6) Might George W. Bush just be the best President America has ever had?

7) Would you say George W. Bush is a smart man?

8) Is America winning the War in Iraq?

9) Should America wage war with Iran, and, if yes, should they do it sooner rather than later?

Remember: No right or wrong answers here,
I'm looking for your opinion, okay?

And listen, I have a question, do you 30%ers have a name for yourself? I mean, I've heard 'Bushite' bandied about, maybe as good as any, but your input is invited. What are the hip kids calling it these days in the prep schools? This is MetaCulturalAnalysis here, cutting edge shit. We know all about the 'observer effect' here at the SenseChange Center for Positive Change and don't give a crap! We factor it into the equation. because we can, Mister! It's just like accounting for the warp in the table when you take your shot at the 8 ball. Nothing to it at all.

We study what makes a Bushite tick, the breadth of their devotion to this man, etc. Shit Cajun, I'll split the proceeds with you. I mean it man. Maybe not split, you understand, you're still not that limited a resource, right? You understand. But I'd definitely send you a nice chunk of change on the deal.

Right! Thanks for this, Cajun, Radical Patriot, and yes, even the bloodthirsty Pastor! C’mere ya big lugs! Not so close, not so close! Yeesh, Pastor! Hands off, you scoundrel! I'm only fifteen!

-iSenseProfits! Ding bloody ding, Captain!

p.p. Starting to see similarities in GWB and the Bushite 30%ers, in their actions, in their ability to create reality from sheer fantasy, and they believe it themselves. Heavy. Will expand on the idea as it evolves. I smell cutting edge Pulitzer stuff here, folks an as always, yours for a bargain at six cents a year!

p.p. C'mon, Cajun, Johnny's absolutely right, you fellows need a NAME! "ProBush" seems pretty bland but "PATRIOTS(!!!)" or "AMERICANS(!!!)" could create confusion. You think it over, okay? Input welcome, as always. otherwise you get Bushite, kissing cousin to Bullshit, so it may be apropos...yeah...you know what, Cage? Forget the name thing. It's Bushite for sure...
