Waiting for America to Come Back

bushfish.org For love of God and Country, or so their little tagline goes.

"If so, then show your love for God, the President, and the USA!"


They brought us this sweet little ditty:



"If this country's legislature and judiciary are supposed to
reflect the values and beliefs of The People, then send them
a message that they are WAY off course!"










Some of the letters were pretty interesting:

From: Bennie B. (San Francisco, CA)

I've been reading about your site quite a bit today on www.dailykos.com, and clearly
some people areupset by this. I personally do not agree with the notion that W is
"doing the Lord's work" but I also cannot deny that the same First Amendment that
everyone is holding against this site is the SAME amendment that provides you the
right to air your opinions (however misguided and uneducated they are). I guess we
need to increase education spending in the red states. Peace.


From: J Park (New York, NY)

Brilliant concept and design. Although I think it looks much better if you rotate it 90
degrees counter-clockwise. Because, frankly... it looks just like a bomb with our
beloved President's name on it. I think we'll adopt your wonderful symbol for our next
anti-war campaign. And remember, imitation is purest flattery. Thanks again!

I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to be born an Atheist. It's nice to know I have a
functioning brain. When I see stuff like this website, it always amazes me that people
like you can even manage to get through the day without help. Problem is, you think
you are right, but you don't have a clue. America is not a Christian nation.


From: Maura B (Tampa, Florida)
Date: May 21, 2005
We DO have enough Christian values and beliefs in our governmental institutions; like
“IN GOD WE TRUST” on every dollar; bibles swearing in all officials, etc. Therefore,
you are not being honest about your goals.

As a historian, I must remind you that “good Christians”

1.stole this land from native people and are responsible for their genocide;
2.enslaved Africans that built this nation with their labor at no cost to Christians;
3.and terrorize poor nations with military-violence all over the world.

Thank God, we are not all Christians in this nation.





And of course, some reich-wing nutjobs:

From: Amanda D (Florida)

I'm joining my fellow Floridian Eric G. in showing my
love for Jesus, President Bush, and the United States
of America! And if we are lucky, Governor Jeb Bush
will pick up the torch in 2008 for 8 more years! Thank
you!!


From: Kelly (Jackson, MS)

Please don't be discouraged by the ugly letters you have received. I'm glad someone
has the nerve and wherewithal to do something about what seems to be a dying breed.
Keep up the good work.



From: Sarah L, (New York, NY)

"I cannot believe you are suggesting that George W. Bush is the savior!! This
country was founded on the belief that Church and State should be kept separate.
Why not just respect the founders' wishes and leave well-enough alone?!?!"


from the bushfish morans themselves PLEASE NOTE: The BushFish does not suggest that President Bush is Divine. It is intended to represent Christian Republicans who support the President's position on God's role in government.



From: Chris P, (Roswell, GA)
Date: May 10, 2005

Sarah, President Bush isn't the Savior. But he IS the best chance we have for
returning to a society based on morals and traditional family values. And I think that's
what the BushFish is saying. For me, it's a sign that I'm a Christian Republican and
nothing more. God Bless.


Nothing more... that's saying saying it all... IMHO...a "christian" rethuglian and nothing more... not a thinking human being... nothing
