The Bush machine even creeps into how our soldiers speak. They are told to say:
We are a values-based, people-focused team that strives to uphold the dignity and respect of all.
As if it weren't clear enough already the values-based tag adds clarity to the Christian crusade focus of this war.
Posted by jherr at January 24, 2005 12:05 PMI heard bit of the press conference Bush was giving this morning and he did keep referring to "values-based societies". His example was where every person has a voice and human value and dignity. More along those lines than Christianity per se.
