Andrew Sullivan: Victory is an article of faith for Bush

The Sunday Times (U.K.) ^ | 10/28/2001 | Andrew Sullivan

The UN and the media except for Fox are working hard to blame the US Govt for everything little thing. Why doesn't the dumb UN put glow in the dark crosses that are like really huge on their buildings? What do they expect when there is a war going on?

Now, where are all those Andrew Sullivan antagonists....?

Have faith. They will show up. If not on this thread, on a repost soon at a theater near you. They will not be able to see the words Andrew Sullivan writes, because they are too fascinated with his being "one of them homer-sexuals". Sad.

Since 11 September Andrew Sullivan has consistently written some of the most reasoned and intelligent accounts of the attack, our reaction and the President's leadership. He continues to do so in this very thoughtful story.

[Wait4Truth]

Great article. I really appreciate the way Andrew writes. The one error in the article is about President Bush's sister. She was not older than him. When she died, she was 3 or 4 and President Bush was 7. Other than that, it's a good look into his faith - and fully explain why most in the media don't understand him and don't accept him. He is indeed a gift to us all. I am also beginning to have trouble calling him W or Dubya these days. He seems too large for those terms now.

Andrew Sullivan is a bipolar columnist. His driving force? The gay agenda. His mental play thing? The political right. He toys with us. That's all. Anyone who believes he's always sincere or trusts him is crazy.

Beautiful portrayal of George W. Bush by Andrew Sullivan.

Thank you, Pokey.

[Pokey78]

So Sullivan is lying about everything he says about the President, the war, or any other subject. All he wants is another piece of ass.

Seems like you are the one more concerned about the "gay agenda". Why don't you and the other homophobes give the guy some credit.

Your dripping sanctimony doesn't change the fact that gay activists target children. It doesn't change the fact that they live an unhealthy lifestyle and largely lie about how promiscuous they are in order to get tax money. Nor does it change the fact that they are at LEAST AS guilty of intolerance as those they point their fingers at. (not to mention at least EQUALLY HATEFUL)

[Media2Powerful]

Why don't you and the other homophobes give the guy some credit.

I am a proud, card carrying homophobe. They scare me. I was born that way. I can't help it.

Sullivan is terribly inconsistent. I don't trust him and that actually has nothing to do specifically with his be gay. I try to evaluate my opinion of columnists based on their collective work. Their consistency. Sullivan is a very bright guy who is all over the place in his columns.

Just my opinion

The anti-terrorism bill is filled with new law that will put conservative and bible believing Christians in peril in future.

Do you really believe that a President bill Clinton or a future president Hillary Clinton would be detered from spying on citizens because it is illegal?

It is illegal to take FBI files but that didn't stop Bill and Hillary from doing it and Janet Reno from covering it up.

You have to believe that Clinton never committed rape becuase rape is illegal. You have to believe that Clinton never took Chinese campaign money because taking Chinese campaign money is illegal. You have to believe that Gore didn't break any campaign finance laws.

The stupidest words I have heard, is that a law preventing something would deter a future Bill Clinton from doing it.

[deport]

Not sure of who all is on Pokey's bump list....

[Schakaljager]

sustained by faith is one thing, making the war against terrorism a personal mission is another. I'm not saying W is making it personal now, but all the talking of him finding his calling and mission is making me nervous. I have nothing against seeing him totally focused on the war, but a sense of detachment is needed for making sound judgement. Let's not forget that Jimmy Carter(yes, that retarded Jimmy) is also a deeply religious man and freeing hostages was his "personal mission".

[mdwakeup]

TD Jakes is a modalist, not a Christian. The traditional word to describe him is heretic.

[aruanan]

He on the other hand, expressed that he sees the body of Christ in many denominations and finds joy in fellowshipping across denominational lines.

In this case, then, he is being truly Wesleyan in his outlook.

[jackbill]

Now, why do you think I want to read a piece by Andrew Sullivan, of all people, about how God saved W from immoral behavior and gave him a great wife? I mean, really?

I'm not a very "religious" person but I seem to remember something like: "Judge not, lest ye be judged".

Thanks for the flag. Good read. Needs to be printed up in islamo-fascist dialect and dropped from planes. Great psyops value.

[George W. Bush]

Andrew Sullivan is gay homosexual.

He is the gayest.

He was probably having gay homosexual anal sex when he wrote this piece of fluff.

[1stMarylandRegiment]

former drunk reference at the end was a little unkind but I guess he was trying to make a point

There is only one way to "stop" drinking on [your] 40th birtday +1 - to turn your life and your will over to the care of God . . .

[Servant of the Nine]

Well written article. More should have been made about the Methodist background Bush comes from now; that explains alot about how he reacts to things.

Except that he does not come from a Methodist background.
He was raised an Episcopalian. His father was, maybe still is, a Deacon in the church. He converted when he married.

Sullivan is a very bright guy who is all over the place in his columns.

Putting aside gay issues, about which I have no desire to discuss with you, would you care to give some examples of the inconsistency you see in Sullivan? Perhaps it will help me discover my own inconsistencies, since my views largely track his, point by point.
