Protest Disrupts Bush’s Speech

When Mary Bent Wehrli, representing the Southern California Interfaith Task Force on Central America, Michael Breault, a Jesuit brother, and others stated, “You are killing children in El Salvador . . . You profess to be a man of God . . . You profess to be an Episcopalian . . . You killed my brothers,” they proved that the truth can rise again: anywhere!
Republicans and Democrats in Congress are just as responsible for this shocking “policy” as Bush. But Bush is in a position to stop it now. He said, “Pretty tough,” as the protesters were manhandled. Before the “tough” tolls for him, I submit:
Here lies the body of President Blow
Who died maintaining the status quo
Used our taxes for hell in El Salvador
Ignored Good Book Proverbs 24:24.
