Clicking on the picture will open a new window with a larger version See more photos. So we've handed the keys of the country over the Iraqis. I'm sure it feels like they're getting the keys to a one bedroom apartment. They'll come home one night to find a Post-It note on the door that reads: "Hey, just stopped by to work on some oil wells and spray for insurgents. Call us if you need anything - Your Friendly US Landlords" They might also notice a few of their "special" DVD's missing as well. Bush reassures Turkey that being free doesn't mean they'll get to enjoy a good porn flick any time soon. "Some people in Muslim cultures identify democracy with the worst of Western popular culture and want no part of it. And I assure them, when I speak about the blessings of liberty, coarse videos and crass commercialism are not what I have in mind," Bush said. "There is nothing incompatible between democratic values and high standards of decency." Seems we are not, repeat NOT making the world (or Schenectady)safe for porn. June 28 - A man caught playing an adult film in his car will have to serve jail time. But why oh Smackdaddy from Schenectady would you want to watch porn in your car? If you've got your hands at the 10 and 2 just what good is that porn doing you? Is it for the benefit of the drivers sitting next to you at the light? That red light only lasts a good minute or so? But anyways.. back to the Chicken's visit to Turkey. Meeting with local Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders, he also described Turkey as a country that has fostered tolerance between its Islamic majority and its minority religious groups. Emphasis mine. You see its a good thing to have a strong separation of religion and politics if that country is majority Muslim, but I still find it odd to hear Bush preaching the sermon of secularism when he's abroad and pandering to his theocratic base here at home. Don't get me wrong. I think Bush is right to push for a greater secularization of the Muslim world. It will temper the extremism by getting the pod people out of positions of power. But wouldn't it be nice if we had a President that voiced strong support for secularism all the time. Not just when he's in a Muslim nation? Secondly. Bush equates the God of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I wonder how that sits with his right wing base? Remember, "Two Legs Good, All Fours Bad." |
