I’m sleeping a lot better than people would assume.” — President Bush, in a new interview with People magazine.

I assumed he sleeps like a baby because he has no conscience…

December 14th, 2006 at 11:00 pmHoly crap….
December 14th, 2006 at 11:03 pmI’m with you, unbelievable. I have never thought for even a moment that GWB didn’t sleep like a babe in arms.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:05 pmWe burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain’t nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain
Where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry
They got a room for you

December 14th, 2006 at 11:10 pmGWB sleeps well knowing he’s a moral man, unlike the nazi left like Hitllery Clinton and her fascist friends at thinkprogess
December 14th, 2006 at 11:10 pmWell..shi*…with everything going so well in the US, Europe, UN, Iraq, China, Russia…how could you sleep in any mood other than in a state of total relaxation? I mean he11 we’ve won two wars in the middle east, given all americans more walking-around money with the Stimulus Package, we’re going to balance the budget-eventually, we’ve got the Al Keydas on teh run, America’s seniors are able to negotiate lower drug prices, we rebuilt N.O., rebuilt the towers, THESE Are the good OL DAYS FELLAS!!!!!!!!
LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN…..well..maybe not our children….they’ll most likely live in some sort of charred hellscape.

Rick, you wouldn’t know morality if it kicked you in the crotch.
I’m guessing you sleep like a lap dog on a leash.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:13 pmI hate this man. I have nothing else to say.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:17 pmThe islamo-fascists and the Cindy Sheehan, nazi left of America are one in the same.

Comment by Rick — December 14, 2006 @ 11:10 pm
Silly me…to think that for a brief moment I actually thought Rick might have a logical, thoughtful contribution to this thread.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:21 pmThis is another case of Bush trying to sound like Harry Truman, who said he never lost any sleep over his decision to drop the atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Of course, we know now that Truman did, in fact, agonize over the decision and that it caused him severe depression later in life. In the case of Bush, I have little doubt that the man hasn’t lost a wink of sleep. He has no sense of history, no sense of perspective, and no sense of the consequences of his actions.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:23 pmEvil disgusting corrupt people like Bush sleep well, because they have zero conscience about anything! Average Americans are like frogs that he blew up with firecrackers up their asses to Dubya! Bush baby reminds me a lot of the last Czar of Russia, who was a stupid arrogant fool, who forced the Russian people to overthrow his vile government!

Comment by Rick
nazi left?
This poor child has been left behind.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:24 pmRick – go study in a history course taught by an actual Historian… You’ll be amazed to learn that Nazis are CONSERVATIVE!
I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so [Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941]
Woman’s world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. We do not find it right when she presses into the world of men. [Adolph Hitler, quoted in Lucy Komisar, The New Feminism]
There is a road to freedom. Its milestones are Obedience, Endeavor, Honesty, Order, Cleanliness, Sobriety, Truthfulness, Sacrifice, and love of the Fatherland. [Message, signed Hitler, painted on walls of concentration camps; Life, August 21, 1939]
December 14th, 2006 at 11:25 pmWhy does he even SAY crap like that?! I mean, are we supposed to be heartened in some way that he’s not a wreck like a lot of people, myself included, this freaking xmas?!
December 14th, 2006 at 11:25 pm#14: the nazi left like Hitllery Clinton and her fascist friends
Dude, your comment shows that you have absolutely no idea what Nazis stood for, or what fascisim is. “Nazi left” is an oxymoron, sort of like “compassionate conservative.”
December 14th, 2006 at 11:27 pmBlasphemy
December 14th, 2006 at 11:28 pmThis poor child has been left behind.

This poor child is a behind.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:29 pmHelps when Cheney shares his vodka doesnt it georgie?
December 14th, 2006 at 11:31 pmI’m laughing so hard right now I just can’t find the right words to properly insult (P)rick. I’ll calm down momentarily and then I’ll be able to respond to (P)rick’s statements.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:32 pmAh, isn’t ignorance bliss?
Or should I say callousness? Both?
December 14th, 2006 at 11:33 pmBush sleeps like a baby because he is a baby.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:38 pmSince (P)rick doesn’t have even a basic grasp of world history I’ll try to keep this simple for him.
(P)rick, do you know what a bootlicker is? You. Do you know of an example of blind faith? You. What kind of people are trying to destroy what America was founded for and why? You. Do you know what a lapdog is? You. Who supports republican sexual perverts that espouse family values and morality to high heaven only to be some of the smarmiest, ugliest, prurient people this planet has ever known? You. The Bush Administration was allowed to become the most incompitent, corrupt, morally bankrupt and blissfully ignorant administration in this country’s history. Why? Because of everyone like YOU!
December 14th, 2006 at 11:49 pmSociopaths sleep just fine.
P.S. Why is Rick talking? I wish those with an IQ of 80- would shut up once in awhile.
December 14th, 2006 at 11:52 pmThis instantly brought to mind the title of an old Kurosawa/Mifune film: “The Bad Always Sleep Well.”
December 15th, 2006 at 12:03 amKeep it up GW buddy boy….the hatred for you by the American people deepens. Bush sees it like this. It’s him against us…..it has been from the beginning. We have all been his suckers. He has never had an altruistic or honest bone in his pampered sorry ass. Now he is playing with fire. The American people are tired of GW Bush’s middle finger.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:25 amMighty tired………The next 2 years are going to be very interesting indeed. This is one hateful evil son of a bitch …he represents the sickest part of our culture in the exreme. Narcissism, entitlement, bullying, contempt for true introspection, greed, arrogance, and stupidity.
The worst of the worst. I knew it in 2000.
# 11…..I’m with you.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:26 amWingnutt, read a book, you moron.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:27 amHe acts as if he’s asleep every time I see him.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:30 amHis mind is blank. If he had an inner sense of morality, a conscience, he would likely have trouble sleeping, and might suffer other physical maladies as well. But Bush has no sense of responsibility, no self-doubt, no second thoughts, no thought that he could possibly be wrong. He believes he was anointed by Jesus, and takes his commands from God.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:38 amMany people who think like that are not allowed to wander freely in society.
Wouldn’t a person who would be expected to have insomnia due to the burdens he carries answer differently. Wouldn’t that person likely have commented on how those concerns trouble his mind? Only the boy-king would easily boast that he sleeps well while many are not only risking their lives, but dying for his arrogant, over-confident stupidity?
Wingnutt, read a book, you moron. Comment by JPark
Oooooh, good one.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:41 amwhat i want to know is when he will sleep with the fishes, like Fredo in the lake. you know, the Long Sleep. can’t come soon enough, as long as he takes Total Dick Cheney with him.
Where’s my bong?
December 15th, 2006 at 12:46 amWingnutt, you have no knowledge, no insight and no point.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:46 amSatan always let’s his followers sleep well. At lease Bush wont have to worry about seeing any of our dead soldiers their in heaven. As for Bush his friends are down below at Satan’s headquarters.
December 15th, 2006 at 12:50 amBozos like Rick allow the Bush to sleep fine. Rove knows the “Ricks” out there actually will believe whatever Faux feeds them, their minds shaped like playdough by the likes of Murdoch who laughs all the way to the bank. You’d have to feel sorry for them, like one does for the infirm of mind, as they happily send their brothers off to be slaughtered; if only the consequences of their actions weren’t so damn deadly, expensive, and dark.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:03 amWingnutt, you have no knowledge, no insight and no point. Comment by JPark — December 15, 2006
I know it’s tough to follow along, so let me break it down real simple for you.
My point was that Hitler’s policy much more resembles liberal policy than conservative. Then I proceeded to quote Nazis disproving your moonbat cousins who seem to think Hitler was some sort of Christian.
But I guess it’s tough to follow along when your free-speech-loving TP administrators delete comments they don’t like.
Keep on truckin’ chickendoves!
December 15th, 2006 at 1:06 amI know vat you mean, mein Herr.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:12 amI know vat you mean, mein Herr. Comment by Adolph H.
It shouldn’t surprise us that Hitler is cruising liberal blogs. I guess he needs to read up on those who share many of his beliefs.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:17 amSo, he knows what an evil moronic bastard he is, and he knows how many people have died because of him, and he’s announcing that he wants everyone to know that he doesn’t give a shit. Nice.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:31 amI hate to say this, but to those of us who believe Nine-eleven was a conspiracy, the term “double down” has a terrible ring, something like ‘Trifecta,’ or lifting pillows in the OO to find WMD, or playing the guitar during Katrina.
[Funny thing, Oval Office is OO, which in German is Null Null, aka the toilet.]
I dearly hope that we don’t get “Doubled Down” on Christmas morning, my friends. After all, there is no Congress.
The Bastard-and-Thief sleeps well, like he did in that elementary school, oh so long ago. Is he planning another ‘nap’?
December 15th, 2006 at 1:33 amhttp://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article2076137.ece
A devastating attack on Mr Blair’s justification for military action by Carne Ross, Britain’s key negotiator at the UN, has been kept under wraps until now because he was threatened with being charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act.
The Government’s case for going to war in Iraq has been torn apart by the publication of previously suppressed evidence that Tony Blair lied over Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction
December 15th, 2006 at 1:44 amonly a sociopath could not be bothered by all the mayhem, carnage and destruction this man has been responsible for. He doesn’t care and we may have 2 more years of this fool. Be very afraid.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:46 amOh, and I forgot to mention,
The War on Christmas (morning).
December 15th, 2006 at 1:53 amWhat no praying for the President Bush like you did for Senator Tim Johnson to get well.?
December 15th, 2006 at 2:05 amCrazy christian hypocrites.
Throughout history one person has woken up and said I have had enough and changed the course of things. I only hope this person is close to one of the twins…..this is the only way any shred of reality is gonna blind side this war criminal.
December 15th, 2006 at 4:12 am“America’s viceroy in Iraq, L. Paul Bremer,”
Former president of Kissinger Associates, whose first order on taking charge was to blow away the U.S. military plans for stabilizing Iraq.
You can date the end of the possibility of stopping civil war in Iraq to the day that Bremer disbanded the Iraqi army and police — even though the US military plans were entirely based on using those forces to counterbalance their ruthlessly (ILLEGALLY)-minimized (by Rumsfeld) occupation force.
MAY 15, 2003: The day Bushco ensured a civil war in Iraq.
December 15th, 2006 at 5:10 amit must be easy for the EVIL to sleep…
December 15th, 2006 at 6:14 ambecause he is a sociopath! This frat boy has no feelings for ANYONE–it’s so obvious. Look at what he’s done to his elderly father!
December 15th, 2006 at 6:19 amOh… my… God.. Could there ever be a more offensive president in the history of the earth. I seriously doubt it. He sleeps fine and believes it is appropriate to tell the millions of people who’d rather see him dead now then impeached later. Let’s see. Bush gave us more poverty, more danger, more terrorism, more injustice, less human rights, less democracy, less transparency of government, huge deficits, useless/endless wars for no good reason, many many many innocent deaths, reasons for all the other BEASTS of the world to commit the same attrocities….. Sleep tight Mister President Leech Sir.
December 15th, 2006 at 6:21 am“I’ve got so much on my mind, and this job is so exciting that it’s really hard to settle down and plan the next 10 years of our life.â€-GWB
He calls the presidency a “job”?
December 15th, 2006 at 6:27 amAnd it’s “exciting”; ” I get to play with big guns and ride in jets and hold hands with oil sheiks”. God, he could have stayed on the ranch and done the same thing.

Diplomat’s suppressed document lays bare the lies behind Iraq war
Surely there must be a law in America that Blair fed America bullshit about Iraq
And should be arrested as you tried to discredit george galloway and failed as he was telling the truth …….
December 15th, 2006 at 6:39 am#61- Thanks for the posting. We always knew, but the story continues to confirm.
December 15th, 2006 at 7:06 amBlair, Bush and Cheney should all be arrested.
I can remember when I used to drink, I had trouble sleeping at night,†the President said.
He shouldn’t have trouble remembering. It was only twenty years ago that he was the town drunk.
December 15th, 2006 at 7:32 amNot a surprising comment at all because it matches the analysis in Bush on the Couch by Justin Frank perfectly. The Bush family lacks emotional empathy to the point of cruelty. You can see it across generations.
This remark of his not only shows that, it demonstrates contempt for all Americans and for those serving in Iraq and their families. Does anyone imagine they all sleep well?
December 15th, 2006 at 7:42 am63. he was the town drunk.
and the village idiot
December 15th, 2006 at 7:45 amKind of feels weird living in a land whose “leader” is the first (but probably not the last) great mass murderer of the 21st century.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:01 amResponse to 17.
A little Bush history: Prescott Bush became Hitler’s banker when he became Fritz Thyssen’s banker. The incredible loot Fritz’s father made in steel, coal, and railroads during WWI was hidden in Holland. Shortly afterwards he was looking to spread some in America and opened a front operation through E.R. Harriman in New York City. In fact, reports indicate that the Bush connections to Nazi money continued through 1951.
The reason Auschwitz was located where it was is because that is near where Fritz Thyssen’s coal, steel, and railroads were. That made it possible for I.G. Farben to synthesize fuel from coal gasification for the war machine there, which made it also possible to synthesize rubber there. I.G. Farben also made Zyklon B gas, enough to annihilate two million people according to the trial testimony of the Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf Hoess.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:08 amDont sleep to well Bush – You need to be arrested and jailed for America to gain any respectability worldwide NOW
December 15th, 2006 at 8:10 amBuzzflash has a nice one:
CJ online
I’m not even going to mention that while all this was going on the Bush daughters, those beguiling twins Jenna and Barbara, were cavorting in Argentina, behaving so outrageously that the Argentine government asked them to leave.
I don’t mention it because picking on politicians because of their dimwit children seems to me the second-last refuge of scoundrels, right before Fox News. I will pass on, however, Jon Stewart’s observation that while Argentina welcomed fugitive Nazi war criminals with open arms after World War II, the Bush twins were more than it could take. Makes you wonder what they were doing and whether we can get pictures, doesn’t it?
It’s no wonder Mr. Bush doesn’t read newspapers. After all, what’s reality ever done for him?
December 15th, 2006 at 8:14 amFor once I hear something honest from him !! We all know he sleeps well, after all that has happened why would people believe he cares about anything ?? As long as there are hughe profits for his oil industry pals he’s happy.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:18 amI think of nothing else but how well the President sleeps. Doesn’t everybody?
December 15th, 2006 at 8:25 amNo brain . . . no pain.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:42 amMonster.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:42 amNobody cares.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:44 amIgnorance IS Bliss!
December 15th, 2006 at 8:47 amThe rantings of a demented brain. Of course, he sleeps like a baby at night – no cogent thought processes ever coursing through that gray matter, that’s now made fact.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:48 amAnd with the cocktail of meds he takes, it’s clear that he sleeps through the night. If he’s sleeping so well while parents of loved ones in Iraq pace the floors with worry and concern then something is definitely “wrong” with this twisted picture! He wouldn’t be sleeping if one of his airhead daughters were over there doing their civic duty, would he?
IMPEACH THIS CHIMPBRAIN NOW! He’s just flaunting his level of unconcern and incompetence in our faces! He’s taunting us to see if we have the guts to “do the right thing” and oust him. What a sicko!
December 15th, 2006 at 8:50 amInappropriately, Ted Bundy also slept “like a baby”, didn’t he? This clearly indicates the degree of sociopathy involved here. If I were him (or his handlers), that’s the last thing I’d be saying publicly when people’s children come home in body bags every day and the family members haven’t had a full night’s sleep since this illegal war began, that’s for sure! What a seriously cavalier mistake made by Bush with this one. This one statement will haunt him for the rest of his life and will become part of his legacy…..
What did Nero do while Rome burned? He played his fiddle. What did Bush do while troops died? He slept like a baby. Something is drastically and criminally wrong with this picture. He’s got to go and now! Soon he’ll be telling us that he thinks Iraq is a joke….how sad for this country, indeed.
December 15th, 2006 at 8:56 amCHIMPEACHMENT is the only remedy for this degree of flagrant insanity.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:01 amOnly the great Presidents have sleepless nights.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:02 amand the only people still supporting this sociopath are equally sociopathic themselves. Clueless, brainless, heartless zombies without a conscience and obviously suffering from psychopathology from their childhood.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:02 amFirst of all, I think we all assume that Bush is exactly the type of person who could sleep so well after everything he has done.
Second, it’s pretty sad he doesn’t understand what it really means when somebody asks him, “how do you sleep at night.” By answering “just fine” he proves what an ignorant, arrogant and dangerous person he really is.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:04 amAnd on second thought, this is precisely where Bush underestimates the intelligence of the people: Everyone knows that psychopaths/sociopaths sleep well at night – either because of the heavy meds necessary to function somewhat normally during the day OR…OR….OR….because they lack the brain chemistry to have the insight into any level of emotion even remotely resembling empathy. Misanthrope can easily be added to this dx as well. This is where Bush got it totally wrong – EVERYONE knows he’s sick and conscience-less….so we expect him to sleep like the deluded baby which he’s proven that he is.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:05 amNOTHING keeps dim son from his nighty-night. via ladies home journal re 9/11:
George W. Bush: But the day ended on a relatively humorous note. The agents said, “you’ll be sleeping downstairs. Washington’s still a dangerous place.†And I said no, I can’t sleep down there, the bed didn’t look comfortable. I was really tired, Laura was tired, we like our own bed. We like our own routine. You know, kind of a nester. I knew I had to deal with the issue the next day and provide strength and comfort to the country, and so I needed rest in order to be mentally prepared. So I told the agent we’re going upstairs, and he reluctantly said okay. Laura wears contacts, and she was sound asleep. Barney was there. And the agent comes running up and says, “We’re under attack. We need you downstairs,†and so there we go. I’m in my running shorts and my T-shirt, and I’m barefooted. Got the dog in one hand, Laura had a cat, I’m holding Laura —
Laura Bush: I don’t have my contacts in , and I’m in my fuzzy house slippers —
George W. Bush: And this guy’s out of breath, and we’re heading straight down to the basement because there’s an incoming unidentified airplane, which is coming toward the White House. Then the guy says it’s a friendly airplane. And we hustle all the way back up stairs and go to bed.
Mrs. Bush: And we just lay there thinking about the way we must have looked.
Peggy Noonan (interviewer): So the day starts in tragedy and ends in Marx Brothers.
George W. Bush: That’s right — we got a laugh out of it.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:08 am…wonder how he’ll sleep in Prison…
December 15th, 2006 at 9:13 amI don’t believe GWB is capable of understanding, sympathizing or empathizing with what normal people believe he should be “feeling”. His answer, like everything else in his entitled out of touch life, is about political fortunes, not the human consequences of causing the deaths of thousands of victimized human beings. He doesn’t “feel” he’s responsible for their deaths or the demise of the Republican party. Nothing is ever his fault, because he’s never had to suffer the consequences of his incompetence and stupidity “personally”.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:17 amThe people saw Reagan’s senile dementia/alzheimer’s LONG before it was made public; again, the people have realized LONG before this that this guy will be the poster child for his big pharma buddies when he leaves office – Haldol, Prozac, Seroquel, Geodon – no doubt he’s tried them all. Maybe he’ll do commercials like his buddy Dole does for ED? He can do them for BPD/Schizo disorder?? Can you make commercials from prison though?
December 15th, 2006 at 9:18 amRidonkulous
December 15th, 2006 at 9:28 amWe assume nothing, “W”. We know you have nightmares. Your too much of a liar to fool us anymore.
December 15th, 2006 at 9:34 amIt´s the booze.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:05 am“I must tell you, I’m sleeping a lot better than people would assume.â€
No mystery there. The man’s a sociopath. It’s not as if his conscience would be bothering him.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:12 amBush is a moral man? That has to be the absolute stupidest comment I have ever read. Bush has done more harm to the USA than any person. Ever.
It speaks volumes though to why there is a backstop to Bush’s slide in the polls. There is a clan of religious idiots who will support the Chimp regardless of his actions because he claims to be a moral man.
Blind faith and abhorrence of reality can be harmless when these pukes are cheering for their favorite NFL team, but when it comes to the real world, we need less reliance on the power of prayer and more reliance on facts and reality.
Shove your morality up your a** Ricky.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:23 amExactly! The man has no conscience. I’m sure Saddam slept well a few years back too…not anymore.
A little trial for crimes against humanity would clear that right up.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:31 amIt’s obvious the man is drugged up to the hilt. His pupils are so dialated that his eyes resemble those of a shark on most days. I’ve never seen anyone’s eyes as dark as his, and that includes a bunch of stoners.
December 15th, 2006 at 10:40 amRemember, Poppy used to “pop” so much Halcion, that he what projectile vomit all over people.
he should spend his xmas vacation in baghdad – he might not sleep so well there…
December 15th, 2006 at 10:59 amI’m Sleeping Well, In Case You Ask
December 15th, 2006 at 11:17 am(cognitorex blogspot)
George Bush has a history of telegraphing the truth by publically uttering remarks that are responsive to his private thoughts.
I am a Uniter………not.
I will hire the most qualified……not.
I will return honesty and values to the White House……oh my god, not!
His best , among many, to my mind was when he, decided for no apparent reason to make (paraphrased)the pronouncement that “it takes a warrant to eavesdrop on Americans and we get warrants.”
When Bush says that he knows why others would expect a person in his “I-screwed-the-pooch-again” position to sleep poorly, he is making an admission.
The comedians and psychologists understand this behavior of Bush. In comedy speak, Bush walks up to his friend and announces, “You know that I’m not sleeping with your wife, right?”
Oppositional Defiant behavior in a teen is a warning of bad things to come. In a president it leads to bombs, flames, international disgrace, hundreds of thousands dead and fleeing and just a tiny backward admission that this is all so very shameful.
#66 No Smelly Bush
And you forgot to mention the real kicker: In 1942, the U.S. government seized Prescott Bush’s Union Banking Corporation under the “Trading with the Enemy Act”.
The Bush fortunes were made financing the Nazi war machine. How ironic, eh Rick?
December 15th, 2006 at 11:21 ambeing conscience-free, bush’s statement is not surprising.

#95 Craig, here’s the full quite you referred to:
“By the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires – a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order before we do so.”

December 15th, 2006 at 12:58 pmI was wondering if such was the case. Thanks.
I wonder if Laura is losing any sleep?
December 15th, 2006 at 1:07 pmGreat! On top of all of Bush’s other failings as a human being, we now find out he has the conscience of a Serial Killer.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:18 pmWingnut: “My point was that Hitler’s policy much more resembles liberal policy than conservative. Then I proceeded to quote Nazis disproving your moonbat cousins who seem to think Hitler was some sort of Christian.”
I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so
—Adolph Hitler, to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941
The annoying thing to me about Bush cultists is not that they’re so stupid and uninformed, but that they’re so full of themselves in spite of being so stupid and uninformed. I would also suggest to Mr. Wingnut, that if he’s going to pretend to know something about Nazis, maybe reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich would help. In there, for example, he would find that liberals and university professors were some of the first people the Nazis put away.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:46 pmFlako: “What no praying for the President Bush like you did for Senator Tim Johnson to get well.?”
Flake, why does anyone need to pray for a president who sleeps well and claims he’s in better physical shape than he was when he started the job?
December 15th, 2006 at 1:48 pmMore on Nazi christianity, thanks to unbelievable:
“My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exposed.”
—Adolf Hitler, speech on April 12, 1922, published in My New Order
December 15th, 2006 at 1:52 pmRick, does Hitler’s demonstration of christian faith above mean that he, too, was a “moral man?”

It should not come as a surprise that in finding way too many familarities in comparing bush to hitler,
December 15th, 2006 at 4:40 pmtheir followers are of the exactly same mindset.
I am still waiting for Rush Röhm to wear a brown uniform
marching down Constitution Avenue leading SA people like Rick, vinnie, MA and all the other well known fascists. The ‘German – American Bund’ will join instantly.
