Mr. President? Is that you?
January 1, 2008
It’s a chilly January night and MrsDoF is in the living room watching Disney’s 1991 movie, Beauty And The Beast. I like the movie a lot, so I’ve been popping in to watch the cool scenes with her. I especially like the part where the Beast saves Belle from the wolves.
Then I overheard the obnoxious bully Gaston, use a familiar phrase. To MrsDoF’s annoyance, I came in and rewound the tape to catch a picture of it (the animation is between-frames but the closed-caption is clear). Gaston vows to “Kill the beast!” and Belle, who has befriended the misshapen monster, says “I won’t let you!” To which Gaston replies; “If you’re not with us, you’re against us!”
Sound like anyone we know? I think it’s a pretty good fit.
That phrase does sound familiar and it’s nice to know that a president would treat countrymen as terrorists just in the name of politics and bolstering the Republican party. Bush is the worst president in history and one of the worst people ever.
