at a BBC story condescending to Americans' view of religion.
You have got to understand, it's very difficult for some one with a media trained British accent NOT to sound condescending to American ears... it's just the accent that does it. When I got back here in the UK, after being in the USA for some time, I used to think (sometimes still do) the same things.
And what else would you have him do, you over-accented creep? Listen: We all faced the forces of evil in battle that day and we all had to chose to fight and to win.
And, by the way, that has jack-nothing to do with the fact that Bush was a baseball-club owner (and a bad one). Brits are usually more subtle about their snobbishness, aren't they?
-lol- I understand the thoughts entirely -g-
more on the religion subject..
Re:- Bush. It is regarded as a little unusual..

US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush
They may be the ones facing danger on the battlefield, but US soldiers in Iraq are being asked to pray for President George W Bush.
Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called "A Christian's Duty," a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush.
"I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces.
The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian who likes to invoke his God in speeches.
Sunday's is "Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding".
Monday's reads "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics". |
