George W. Bush

Hunter S. Thompson’s article following the events of September 11th, 2001 seemed like a version of his “Gonzo Journalism” for which he was so well known. This is a genre of journalism, also known as New Journalism, where the writer, as opposed to just reporting on an event, invokes their own thoughts and voice into whatever story they are reporting upon (Literature Resource Center, 2013). In his ESPN article, Fear & Loathing in America, Thompson (n.d.) reports facts and figures of the 9/11…

On Tuesday morning of September 11 of 2001, 19 hijackers by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaida attacked the United States of America by crashing 2 American airlines planes into the north and south tower of the world trade center in New York city. In addition, there was a 3rd plane that crashed into the pentagon and another one that was supposed to crash in Washington D.C but end up crashing into a field in Pennsylvania after its passengers fought with the hijackers. The four planes with more…

2005. By the time the hurricane made landfall, heavy rains had already threatened the city’s infrastructure. The levees contributed to the flooding which submerged approximately 80% of the metropolitan area. It is believed that then-president George W. Bush and Federal officials were warned that the levees would likely be breached by the storm, but were negligent when it came to taking the necessary steps to preventing the crisis. To support this claim, research will examine the weakness of the…

But upon further thinking many begin to question how effective the electoral college truly is. Since the election of George W Bush nearly 17 years ago, the electoral college has been a largely debated topic. American citizens are not the only ones questioning the legitimacy of the Electoral College, politicians have also started sharing statements against the system. Goliad…

The United States government is made up of three branches, the judicial, legislative, and executive. Each branch has specific powers, some of which they share. Of the three branches, the executive and legislative branches are supposed to be the primary two holders of the war powers. I believe that through history it has been shown that the legislative branch and the executive branch are fairly equal with one another when it comes to their war powers. There have been several occurrences…

the nation struggled to keep it together. Finally, after three days the then President, George W. Bush finally addressed the union. His speech, known as his “Bullhorn Speech,” was not long, but it was one of the defining moments of his Presidency. In fact, Kenneth Walsh (2013) described the speech as “one of the most riveting and important points in his presidency.”The speech was given at a vulnerable time and Bush implemented each section of the Aristotelian Triad to comfort and unify the…

spread, often by giving them wider distribution. One man who understands this concept is George Soros, and since he is constantly backing the Democrats. He has become a thorn in the side of Republicans. This is why they call him the Boogeyman. Being an adversary the Republicans, he continuously funds their political rivals and enemies. During the election of 2004, George Soros longed to dethrone a weak George W. Bush and topple his presidency. Soros funded Bush’s political contender that year,…

The Bush administration needed propaganda's convincing power in order to gain public support for what would become a one of the longest wars in America's history. The campaign was, in many respects, quite effective, as various forms of black (propaganda for…

suicide. The reason Gary Webb’s death should be ruled a suicide because he died from a single shot to the head. The incident took place on December 9, 2004, when the U.S. Press was at the lowest, having recently helped and supported President George W. Bush the country to war in Iraq under false Pretenses (Parry, 2010). In addition, the press corps had performed terribly in president Bush’s two presidential election campaigns in the year 2000 and 2004, cautious to…

Jeb Bush, son of George H. W. Bush, has promoted more conservative tax policies during his campaign for president as a Republican candidate. He recently announced his tax plan on September 8; promoting tax cuts for all individuals and corporations. In general, Republicans heavily favor the “trickle down” economic theory, the theory that economic benefits for the wealthy will “trickle down” and benefit society as a whole. Rather than spend their newfound wealth, the upper classes would choose to…
