Is there such a thing as the Bush Cult? Of course, there is. I would have thought it was obvious by now.

Trust me; I once was religious and conservative a long time ago and far, far away. The Bush Cult, despite their pretenses, is neither religious nor conservative.

Pretense: 1. A false action or appearance intended to deceive. 2. A studied show; affectation. 3. A feigned reason or excuse; pretext. 4. An outward appearance. 5. A claim, esp. without foundation. 5. Pretentiousness; ostentation.
