Bush's brain wash

Ihttp://litmuse.net/prompt_mailer2

In my recent reading of Norman Mailer's book "Why are We at War",I agree that Bush's persuit towards a single global economy will affect everyone foreign and local. Though the Bush campainge does'nt seem to have the capibilty nor support to globalize american idealogy, never underestimate stupidity at its finest. Bush's scare tactics have many people believing america is on the prink of being overran by a terrorist attack. Mailer's book also called out the false patroitism set forth by Bush's good and evil speech post-911 saying, " Free floating patriotism seemed like a direct measure of our free floating anxiety"(pg. 15) Bush has found many ways to tactfully play the public into persuation, using our fears of losing our economy to over take those of other countries. Bush has even used a system of colors to indicate danger threats of terrorist in our country, which is basically a propaganda that keeps everyday citizens in fear, effecting the ways we live in our community.

Another tactic Mailer found was something that the Bush administration uses to effect the thoughts of local citizens, by using the word evil to avoid the real questions on his campainge. Mailer say's "One of Bush's worst faults in rhetoric was to use the word evil as if were a button he could push to increase power.Bush uses the evil button as a narcotic for the part of the american public that feels the most distressed.He believes this country is the only hope for the world. He also fears that the country is rapidly growing more dissolute, and the only solution may be feel mighty, and near holy words- the only solution may be to strive for world empire".(pg 51) Mailer put to words what I thought was a brain wash on the Bush campaign. Bush uses many different approaches on how to affect the thinking of local patirotism. Hopefully people will start paying more attention to how our politics are working, before we are fooled into another world war.

Bush's policies have effected everyone from the local to a global level. The fact that he got elected twice shows our inability to watch our hard earned tax dollars be tossed around like monopoly money. Bush also affects the lives of local citizens that have to send their sons off to war to fight for somthing they may not even blieve in. It is the people that suffer for capital gain. The Bush brain wash will not work if citizens actually start taking interest who we put in power. It would be a shame to loss the diversity of the world to a stubborn cowboy.
