Change the definition of Bushism. |
|
Unfortunately, the term "Bushism" has been used to describe Bush's allegedly funny habit of saying stupid things. I propose that it be used to describe Bush's ethos, politics, and philosophy of government. I further propose that it be given its rightful place in the English language as a term of derision and opprobrium.
We all know what "Bushism" is. It is time that the word take on the meaning it deserves. It already has an appropriate sound.

3. any definition for fascism is interchangable with Bushism |
|
"fascism - A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism." American Heritage Dictionary, 1983
Bushism - A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."
see how well that works

4. It's missing a whole bunch of nuances. |
|
Incompetence, cronyism, divisiveness, religious posing, corruption...
Bushism deserves its own definition. It has more potential than the poor, slandered term "liberalism." Republicans may already not want to associate themselves with "Bushism" per se, so we need to hang it around their neck (and maybe let it ferment a bit).
