Bush's lack of humility

I think it is the adolescent tone that repulses me about that statement. It is a phrase used in video games where the deaths are not real, in football games (which don't matter in the great scheme of things unless you are from Texas) and in bragging rights with other adolescents.
This sort of comment has always been lingering just out of sight and hearing from this president. Occasionally we hear it and somehow are not shocked. It is what we can expect from someone with few words or ideas. But I am always diappointed. After 7 years in this job, I keep hoping for a moment of grace where it becomes apparent that he has learned something. Just disappointment so far.
Cleaning up our language - the language we use privately and publicly - is the task of adulthood. My sophomore students use "like, you know" maybe 10,000 times a day - ok I'm exaggerating. By the time they are seniors - it is heard rarely. My children do not use such phrases at all now. They allowed their language to become clear and descriptive. George Bush talks like a sophomore.

It's been so long since "Bring it on!" made my blood turn cold, I'd forgotten about that. Now I'm reminded. Good grief.

Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

This is definitely about pride and having a haughty spirit. Personally, it scares me to think about the amount of destruction that will occur, not to mention what has already occurred!

Bushs' Christianity has always struck me as one of title, not deeds. These little "slips" are like finding a roach in the kitchen - you see one, but there are hundreds more in the walls.
