I, George W. Bush, an evil Republican fascist . . .

Have you seen the film A Beautiful Mind? What about The Da Vinci Code? The main protagonists of each of these movies, John Nash in the first, and Robert Langdon in the other, had skills in seeing patterns and rearranging those patterns. There are lots of people around that have that ability to some degree or another.

I was tipped to this guy (thanks Dave), who makes his living as a baker, but has a knack with finding anagrams for long sentences. He constructed a surprising anagram for Hamlet’s soliloquy that essentially summarized the entire plot of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

But the really amazing thing is what this guy did with the United States’ Pledge of Allegiance.

Astounding.

To remind those of you who don’t have to utter this pledge each and every weekday of your existence (except for when you are on break), here it is:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

And now here is its anagram:

I, George W. Bush, an evil Republican fascist, used God to inflict pain on the world, end life, facilitate death, create militant jihad rebels, and to let youths die for nothing.

You doubters out there will have to print this page out and get your pencils out to cancel out letters that occur in both. I did, and I am no longer a doubter.

Islamists are the ones that use "God to inflict pain on the world, end life, facilitate death, create militant jihad rebels, and to let youths die for nothing."

Hey, Hal, tried to leave my $.02 twice - giving up after this third time. I'd like to assume it's just trouble in the electrons....?

"Read about the real fascists...and get a grip on reality"

The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

Review
“You will be shocked and disturbed by this book. Most Americans reject outright any comparison of post 9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile. Sadly, the parallels and similarities, what Wolf calls the ‘echoes’ between those societies and America today, are all too compelling.”
