In a speech this morning, President Bush again condemned Congress for failing to give him a blank check for the war in Iraq.
Increasingly desperate, and facing broad public opposition, Bush tried his best to stir up fear with repeated references to September 11 and dark visions of “death and destruction…here in America” if U.S. troops were to withdraw:
They know that the enemies who attacked us on September the 11th, 2001 want to bring further destruction to our country.
One of the lessons of September the 11th is what happens overseas matters to the security of the United States of America.
…to fight the extremists and radicals where they live, so we don’t have to face them where we live.
…they won’t leave us alone — they will follow us to the United States of America.
The consequences of failure in Iraq would be death and destruction in the Middle East and here in America.
We’ll continue to do the hard work necessary to help change the conditions that caused 19 young men to get on airplanes to come and kill thousands of our citizens on September the 11th.
Enemies that could just as easily come here to kill us.
Watch it:
During a press conference today with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), retired Gen. John Johns responded: “You can listen to simplistic statements of the administration, appealing to emotion and fear, or you can take an analytical approach and see the reality of the world. I live in an entirely different world of reality than President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other members of the administration.”
UPDATE: AmericaBlog has another video compilation from today’s speech, and the Carpetbagger has additional analysis.
If you want to see ACTUAL Fear-Mongering, take a look at the gun control wackos on the Virginia Tech shooting thread. Bush is simply stating the truth above.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:17 pmOnly the truth for Kool-Aide drinkers like Jake.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:20 pmFear-Mongering is a staple of the Fear and Smear party.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:20 pmIf you want to see ACTUAL fear-mongering take a look at Jake’s wacko posts on other threads. Bush is simply his hero.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:21 pmSomeone put that this tired old dog to rest. Like Old Yeller.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:24 pmCan we unretire that General?
April 16th, 2007 at 2:25 pm…and of COURSE our patriotic media asked what does sept 11 have to do with Iraq!!!
No?

And, yes, I DO take it personally
April 16th, 2007 at 2:25 pmSounds like Dubya is getting ready to crack. Anyone else thinks THIS sounds deja-vu-ish?
Juror #7: [to #3] You’re alone.
Juror #3: I don’t care whether I’m alone or not! It’s my right.
Juror #8: It’s your right.
Juror #3: Well, what do you want? I say he’s guilty.
Juror #8: We want to hear your arguments.
Juror #3: I gave you my arguments!
Juror #8: We’re not convinced. We want to hear them again. We have as much time as it takes.
Juror #3: Everything… every single thing that took place in that courtroom, but I mean everything… says he’s guilty. What d’ya think? I’m an idiot or somethin’? Why don’t cha take that stuff about the old man; the old man who lived there and heard every thing?(1) Or this business about the knife! (2) What, ’cause we found one exactly like it? The old man SAW him. Right there on the stairs. What’s the difference how many seconds it was? Every single thing. The knife falling through a hole in his pocket (3)… you can’t PROVE he didn’t get to the door! Sure, you can take all the time hobblin’ around the room, but you can’t PROVE it! And what about this business with the El? And the movies! There’s a phony deal if I ever heard one. I betcha five thousand dollars I’d remember the movies I saw! I’m tellin’ ya: every thing that’s gone on has been twisted… and turned. This business with the glasses. How do you know she didn’t have ‘em on? This woman testified in open court! And what about hearin’ the kid yell… huh? I’m tellin’ ya, I’ve got all the facts here…
Juror #3: [He struggles with his notebook, throws it on the table. The photo of him with his son is on top] Here… Ah. Well, that’s it - that’s the whole case!
[He turns towards the window as the other jurors stare at him]
Juror #3: Well… say something! You lousy bunch of bleedin’ hearts. You’re not goin’ to intimidate me - I’m entitled to my opinion!
[He sees the picture of his son on the table]
Juror #3: Rotten kids… you work your life out!
[He grabs the picture and tears it to pieces. He suddenly realizes what he’s doing]
Juror #3: [Breaks down] No. Not guilty. Not guilty.
(1) replace the old man with Colin Powell
April 16th, 2007 at 2:25 pm(2) replace the knife with WMDs
(3) replace hole in the pocket with shipped to Syria
Jake,
I know that your a big fan of hypotheticals. You gave one the other day concerning the eradication of HIV through monogamy.
I have on for you. If we got rid of all the guns in this country, couldn’t we assume that no one would get shot? Just curious how you like that hypothetical.
(For the record, I am not for abolishing gun rights. I have a nice Desert Eagle in Closet at home. Also for the record, I think hypotheticals like the one I put above are totally counter-productive. I just want to make the point)
April 16th, 2007 at 2:26 pm9/11 could have been prevented with competent leadership. All of Bush’s bullshit rhetoric is based on assumptions that were long ago proven wrong. It is equally plausible to say that terrorism would stop if this administration was held accountable for its incompetence and impeached.
Bush is a liar not based in reality.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:26 pmIt’s a pleasure to see this SOBing murdering war pig make a complete fool of himself.
At this point, now that the moneys gone, his biggest concern is making sure the results of his criminal activities are handed to someone else in ‘08.
I mean, it’s getting bad enough that they are trying to off-load his nightmare right now, and nobody wants it . . . imagine that.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:26 pmPoor Ba$tard.
Retired Gen. John Johns response was perfect!

April 16th, 2007 at 2:26 pmThey will follow us??? How? What airline will bring them in? What ships? Will they pool their money and charter a freighter? Where will it dock? What idiocy… They will follow us? Really?? Why would they follow us after we do what they want, which is to LEAVE?
People who believe this think that putting a loaded pistol in your baby carriage will keep your kid from being kidnapped. Are Americans really this stupid? By God, I think we are.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:27 pmIf anyone NOT on the ignore list wants to discuss with me why I’m a spineless neoncon d*ckslurper, please let me know.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:27 pmThere’s no fool like an old fool, that’s certain as Bush grabs at straws to foist a fear-mongering agenda on this country once again. As another saying goes: First time, shame on you! Second time, shame on me!! And this country will never be fooled by Bush’s chicanery again.
What is even more curious and points to the level of sheer exasperation he is experiencing pre-collapse (as I’ve heard rumored to be occurring this week ) is that he would intentionally keep drawing correlations to this war and 911. I guess you can’t teach and old dog new tricks and his handlers had better be careful what they are asking for.
What this continues to do is simply to raise the critical mass to a fever pitch regarding the impropable collapse of the twin towers. That investigation is also coming and the entire official story has now been debunked by scientists.
I suspect that this is Bush’s “swan song” - this spectacle will undoubtedly begin to get even more pathetic as his lameduck, stolen presidency draws to it’s conclusion.
The outrage and suspicion surrounding this president himself has now reached what is called “critical mass” and the tsunami called “accountability” is rapidly approaching Bush’s inner sanctum.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:29 pmAnd his “they will follow us” banter is really just a visible symptom of his ongoing psychiatric illness - paranoia personified.

April 16th, 2007 at 2:31 pm“Enemies that could just as easily come here to kill us”
Gee, sure is great to hear his confidence in this country’s security! Apparently, we’ve made great progress since 9/11!
April 16th, 2007 at 2:31 pmHe’s looking increasingly desperate, that strengthens the Democrats posistion
April 16th, 2007 at 2:31 pmGWB’s comments are nothing new; this is all that he has left to offer - fear. Nothing else and no solutions; only fear.
Fear may motivate those in the rapture-obsessed, fundamentalist Sunday school, but it is no longer working among the growing number of people who are beginning to open their eyes, starting to use that grey matter between their ears, and are waking up to the fact as to just how fundamentally bankrupt this administration is.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:32 pmI guess that Bush never read the story about the boy who cried “Wolf”. No one is listening to him any more and he just doesn’t get it. We’re on to you Georgie boy. We know why you took us into Iraq. I’ll spell it out for you slowly so you may possibly understand. It was for O I L! And once we get it, you will all of a sudden see the light and say that we need to get our military out of harm’s way.
George Bush, the description of evil. May you rot in hell!
April 16th, 2007 at 2:33 pmOnly those people who have no ability to think critically continue to believe Bush’s “bumper sticker” rhetoric. He’s been wrong for four years. Saying it again doesn’t make it right.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:33 pmNo, Crump’s Brother, we can’t unring that bell — Israel would still manufacture the Uzi which would be smuggled into the U.S., especially now that law enforcement don’t have any guns either — in fact, how would the U.S. military ever defend against an invasion then? It was a good try at a hypothetical though — keep it up — I don’t think is was counter-productive at all. The only dumb question is the one not asked.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:34 pmBush and his evil twin, The Dick, Cheney are falling into their self-created abyss. Dick’s on the tube spouting off his foolishness while the Shrub is on another. No one is listening to this two village idiots any longer. They’ve tarnished the american dream and have made toilet paper of our constitution; They’ve tanked our economy and put us into debt for the next century; they’ve killed innocent members of our military by enlisting them in a war based on lies and deception; they’ve squandered the respect of the offices they hold, and they’ve destroyed our democracy.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:35 pmAll the Rethugs have is Fear, Hate and their religion of hate. Fear the things you hate and hate the things you fear.

April 16th, 2007 at 2:35 pmNot sure why my post came up twice.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:35 pm#20: good point! Of course, Bush failed to stop the terrorists on 9/11, the worst terrorist attack ever to occur on American soil. And he failed to respond to Katrina. He should rightly be worried about being unable to stop another threat — he has proven his incompetence time and time again.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:37 pmThis chickenhawk has just told tooooo many lies. He is plainly cowaring to the corner where he will gather his pen to strike down the will of the people.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:37 pmRemember, the dufuss strolling across the deck of the aircraft carrier puffing his naked chest (lack of metals) to the crowd. Looks like he’s in full retreat with Nancy Pelosi in full pursuit.
When the veto comes you can throw out the table upon which his furried pen has gouged its finish.
They will follow us. Oh, really? And we can’t stop it, right? I think that says a whole hell of a lot about the competency of the WH and Federal Agencies.
Or is the premise bullcrap?

April 16th, 2007 at 2:41 pmwill someone please inform him that the more he resites the tragedy of 911 for political purposes the more americans hate him.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:42 pmJake,
I think you missed it. In your hypothetical, the monogamy would have to be world wide in order to stop HIV. The gun ban would have to work the same way. So no, Israel would not be manufacturing the UZI.
The real point however that I wanted to make, is that working in hypotheticals that deal only in absolutes never work. I agree that a gun ban will never work, but neither will a monogamy mandate.
(I’m sorry that I have digressed this far on this post, I will now drop this)
April 16th, 2007 at 2:42 pmAbsolutely astounding, the way he can go on and on, and offer the same lame excuse six different ways.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:43 pmThe guys behind him don’t look like they’re buying it either.
What is happening to George’s mouth?
It looks like it is kinking downward in the corners, and his jaw is receding towards his neck… (maybe he caught something from Lieberman…)
At any rate, he’s not looking real good……….
What a pathetic little man. Did you catch the trademark smirk at the ending of “Enemies that could just as easily come here to kill us”?
April 16th, 2007 at 2:43 pmHe must really think we’re a bunch of pussies. Terrorist want to f’ck with us here? Bring it on you half-witted superstitious jack*sses. If this is war, then let’s get the whole nation on board. There is nothing we can’t accomplish and we could work to neutralize the threat.
Which, of course, is the greatest nightmare of the Bush administration and the White House - if the nation would realize it didn’t need them as protectors.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:44 pmYes, it’s just fear-mongering. Because as we all know, nothing happened before BushCo’s dastardly plan to invade Iraq for oil.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:44 pmIt’s simple…. bush is the “war president” and the cheney/rove plan to justify the removal of civil and privacy rights based on the president’s say so hinges on continually being at “war on terror.” The question already raised in this thread is “What about all the money you’ve spent on the super duper Home Land Security Agency? What about all the controls in place to get in and out of the USA? Are you saying they will not work?”

You finally admitted:

April 16th, 2007 at 2:47 pmOn PBS last night they had a two hour program on the origins of Bin Laden and Al-Queda. After the invasion of Afghanistan Bin Laden et al. were on the run, considerably weakened, and losing converts, since the Afghans had not joined them in fighting the US/NATO forces. The invasion of Iraq was a huge gift to them - they could not believe that Bush has been so stupid as to send troops into the heart of Arab territory. Since then Bin Laden has been on the rise, and as we all know, the US is doing just what Bin Laden had predicted: losing treasure and prestige in a war of attrition.

April 16th, 2007 at 2:47 pmDale,
This to me is the most noteworthy entry on that list after 9-11
Bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, April 19, 1995: “Right-wing” extremists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols destroyed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City with a massive truck bomb that killed 166 and injured hundreds more in what was up to then the largest terrorist attack on American soil.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:49 pmOh, a WORLD-WIDE gun ban?! Well, toot my horn and stop the train — that’s different — I guess we could all finally join hands with Sheryl Crow then about the “Best way to solve problems is not have enemies.” If you also think no one is ever going to use ANY other weapon, explosive, etc., against anyone else, then you have a point, I guess. In MY hypothetical, Crump’s Brother, sex within marriage only WOULD have worked to stop the HIV/AIDS crisis (unless the gays get married, of course).
April 16th, 2007 at 2:52 pmOh, a WORLD-WIDE gun ban?!

Comment by Crump’s Brother
No you cant…because…
1) Criminals already ignore the laws.
2) Patriotic Americans will make or smuggle them in.
3) The U.S. Consitution gives us the DUTY to secure our own freedoms FROM a tyranical government 1st and outsiders 2nd.
Its funny how some people pick a choose the parts of the U.S. Constitution they want to support.
Citizens right to fire arms is just as important as the Congress controlling the declaration of war and the payment for the continuation of war. Just as important as the seperation of church and state. The WHOLE lesson of the American revolution is that bad people can get control of your government and do bad things to you unless you are willing to pick up a gun with your fellow citizens and change things… how could you ever miss that lesson?
April 16th, 2007 at 2:57 pm#50: MY hypothetical . . . sex within marriage only WOULD have worked to stop the HIV/AIDS crisis. Right. It WOULD have worked, except it’s unworkable. Just like a ban on all guns worldwide WOULD work to stop gun violence, except it’s also unworkable. MORON. I call you that without fear, because I’m already on your childish Ignore List.
April 16th, 2007 at 2:57 pm#49, that’s the most noteworthy? All of the many, many terrorist attacks mentioned, and you pull out one of only two perpetrated by “right-wing” (the other taking place in the West Bank), and call that the “most noteworthy”?
No comment on the thousands upon thousands of deaths in the REST of the terrorist attacks?

April 16th, 2007 at 3:00 pmhypotheticals only work when Jake uses them. Otherwise it’s an offensive attach at well established foundations of this country. So you can’t use hypotheticals, you can only attempt to reply to Jasons’. It’s simple. Just like Jake. You can only answer his, you can’t use your own.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:01 pmProfmarcus (Post #8):
What I worry about is that his threatening stance had better work… or else Mr. President might call his buddy Osama bin Laden again for ANOTHER, even more terrifying terrorist attack than 9/11.
If we lose the fear of the Bush Administration, then Karl Rove knows that all he needs to do is begin the next attack.
And THAT scares the SHEOL outta me.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:01 pmGGibson,
If you had read my earlier posts, you would have noticed that I am not actually for a gun ban. I own a hand gun, and I am a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Your like a child that has walked into the middle of a conversation with adults and must put there two cents worth in without knowing what the hell is going on.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:02 pmOne of the lessons of September the 11th is what happens overseas matters to the security of the United States of America.
For example… If you kill a bunch of civilians and call it a war on drugs…. or if you kill a bunch of people to get their oil… or if you overthrow a popular government and install a puppet killer in its place… you can EXPECT that those people over there will want revenge on people over here… because THATS THE GOLDEN RULE…
What comes around goes around. If we dont stop our government from doing this crap to people over there they will hate us here… no matter how good our hollywood movies are…
April 16th, 2007 at 3:02 pmggibson:
He already changed the hypothetical to a WORLD-WIDE ban, so I assume that means the Anti-Christ has taken over and the 2nd Amendment was repealed as well.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:02 pm#56, that’s right Jake, Sheryl has the Moral Authority Card… she’s off-limits.

April 16th, 2007 at 3:04 pm“We’ll continue to do the hard work necessary to help change the conditions that caused 19 young men to get on airplanes to come and kill thousands of our citizens on September the 11th.”
No matter how many times the president threatens to veto our legislation that would do so or the vice president accuses us of “bad behaviour” when we pursue international diplomacy that would do so. We will continue to do the hard work that the president is actively making harder than it really needs to be.
(Because hey, if being an elected official were easy, we would have shipped our jobs overseas to save taxpayer money on the high salaries we’re giving ourselves.)
April 16th, 2007 at 3:04 pmDon’t we kind sorta have a Dept. of Homeland Defense and a bunch of other spy agencies and defense contractors that have been paid untold billions to well…protect us? Won’t the troops coming home kinda be like a very well trained force of deterance? Pardon me President Stupid, but I am not too scared anymore. You see a lot of flag decals and support the troop ribbons, our people are committed! Aren’t they? Oh man, you people have me confused! Don’t we have a bunch of crack troops called Minutemen protecting our borders? I’m sure guys like Jake would take a bullet for any of us here in the homeland, because all American blood is sacred…isn’t it?
April 16th, 2007 at 3:05 pmThe Second Amendment has never been held to protect an individual’s right to bear arms.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:05 pmJake,
But in your infinite wisdom, and crappy unworkable hyppothetical, you would impose monogamy on all the people of the world? How would you achieve that kind of legislation exactly. My hypothetical is unworkable, and therefore it is unhelpful. Your’s is the same. That was my only point.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:06 pmCrump’s Brother
For the record, I understood that your hypothetical was a device to counter Jake’s all-too-frequent and illogical use of hypotheticals.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:06 pmGeneral John Johns is right on the money about Chimpy and his thugs living in an alternate reality.
Chimpy and his thugs and the Repukes and the Religious Right all live in Chimpy’s Bizarro World, where we can win in Iraq and we are bringing freedom to them.
Those people are all delusional.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:07 pmbecause THATS THE GOLDEN RULE
Actually, no it’s not.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:08 pmFor the record, I already said Crump’s Brother’s hypothetical was NOT counter-productive at all. The only dumb question is the one not asked.
Speaking of which, you haven’t answered these questions yet:
1) how would the U.S. military ever defend against an invasion then?
2) a WORLD-WIDE gun ban . . . that’s definitely different than “in this country†isn’t it?
3) I guess we could then all finally join hands with Sheryl Crow and sing the “Best way to solve problems is not have enemies†right?
April 16th, 2007 at 3:08 pm“she’s off-limits.”
you can say what you like. if you choose to be classless, that’s your right.

Yeah this would fit Bush to a tee. Not even his phony religious sanctimony will work for him. (He believes that God is on his shoulder telling him things like “go into Iraq”. What he doesn’t know is that it was the devil that whispered in his ear after he sold his soul to him back on that beach in 1986.) Bush reminds me of the old “Twilight Zone” episodes where the devil gives the person whatever he wants (here the most powerful man in the world title, POTUS) but claims his sole to be redeemed at a later date. Who would have thought back then that life would be imitating art at the beginning of the twenty first century. The devil is knocking at the door Georgie and it is for thee that the bell does toll!
Not Cheney though. He will go down like Saadam did, full of bluff & bluster right to the end, booming his fantasy (I’m the pres… er Vice President! How dare you talk to me like that!”)

April 16th, 2007 at 3:12 pmfresh in: Smirking Chimp has a new thread about how the GOP is “owned” by Big Pharma. Anyone surprised? I guess it’s a triumverate ownership, though: Big Pharma, Big Insurance AND Big Oil - own this GOP and the White House, lock - stock - and barrel.

April 16th, 2007 at 3:13 pmYes, it’s just fear-mongering. Because as we all know, nothing happened before BushCo’s dastardly plan to invade Iraq for oil.
Actually, not TRUE.
3000 Americans died because of the TERRORISM of SAUDI ARABIANS.
Bush’s FRIENDS.
Like “Bandar Bush”, so named by the Bush family…
The SAUDIS are STILL funding the Sunnis in Iraq against the Americans. The Saudi KING said two weeks ago we were ILLEGAL OCCUPIERS.

April 16th, 2007 at 3:15 pmThe Second Amendment has never been held to protect an individual’s right to bear arms.
Comment by And You Thought REAGAN Was Stupid
The history of this country is the precendent that proves otherwise. Unlike the seperation of church and state that was clarified by the personal writings of the founding fathers the right to bear arms has never been clarified to mean only for the government… in fact that would go against the very ability for the founding fathers to have won against the british… the british were the government … and the people had to use guns to change that.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:15 pmI’m glad she’s survived cancer; but what does having cancer have to do with anything? If someone has cancer, then they’re off-limits? Does that mean Tony Snow is off-limits? What about heart disease… are *they* off-limits also?
It’s not a matter of class… if he had referenced Crowe’s cancer, you’d have a point… but he didn’t.
April 16th, 2007 at 3:15 pmNoticed the headline of a newspaper in the grocery store today where Bush is pleading with Laura to cancel the divorce - amid his total breakdown. From the clip on this thread, I’d say we’re seeing his breakdown up close and personal right now. He needs some meds; after all, Big Pharma owns this WH so there should be plenty of psychtropic pharmacia to go aroud.

Didn’t you know, CB? Right-wingers feel more comfortable when they can link policies of the left to an easily identifiable celebrity, particularly so if the celebrity can be shallowly ridiculed using only common, everyday right-wing shorthand.

P.S. Crump’s Brother — don’t worry about Sheryl Crow — maybe Rosie O’Donnell or the Dixie Chicks are more your speed. As for “enforcing” my hypothetical, it certainly wouldn’t be through passing legislation (although I would get rid of no-fault divorce laws if I could). That would take genuine heart changes and couples dedicating their marriages to Jesus Christ, selflessly loving each other and serving each other as He did the church. Think of it as a self-imposed slavery.

Here are some Supreme Court cites for you:
“the ‘obvious purpose’ of the Second Amendment was to ‘assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness’ of the state militia.” U.S. v. Miller.
no individual right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment — Quillici v. Morton Grove.
Since the Miller decision, lower federal and state courts have addressed the meaning of the Second Amendment in more than thirty cases. In every case, up until March of 1999 (see below), the courts decided that the Second Amendment refers to the right to keep and bear arms only in connection with a state militia.
Here’s how it works in the U.S.: Find a Supreme Court decision that overcomes my Supreme Court cites, or you lose.

THEN: Why didn’t he and this administration pursue the perpetrators and its backers….instead of invading Iraq…which had no relevance to the attack? He is chanting irrelevant pap again.
This administration is destroying America and the Earth with their insistance on corporate quarterly bottom line ober allus and I am sick, sick, sick of the little tyrant who couldn’t.

April 16th, 2007 at 3:34 pm#103, you’re correct, Jake introduced her. But your assertion that he is not showing class because he mentioned her is absurd. If he had poked fun at her cancer, then I also would be all over him. But he mentioned a statement she had made.
So does referencing someone who suffered through (and survived, thank God) a possibly-fatal disease make that person “no class“?

This comment demonstrates Jake’s pretender status as a Christian thinker as clearly as any of his other posts display his failure at political discourse.
Jesus Christ didn’t “selflessly and lovingly serve the church.” The Church didn’t exist until after his death and resurrection. By Christian doctrine, the only entities Jesus served while in this world were his Father, and his brothers and sisters on earth, as commanded by his Father.

Who’s more than 90% Jake*ss? Are you spreading more fake statistics again, which will just make you look even more st*pid when you’re exposed?
As for who built America, it was the secularists and those who were “enlightened”, like the founding fathers. They weren’t Christian, they were in fact anti-Christian for the most part.
It was the religious types like you that created the war and pestilence in Europe that the early Americans were often fleeing.
This has only become a freaky religious country in the last century, thanks to all of you Cons spreading the fear of “godless communism”, and attacking anyone that didn’t at least pretend to be a Christian.
You’re an idiot Jake*ss, read some history, and stop posting fake statistics that make you look like an idiot.
You also might want to look at the latest generation, they’re more likely to be an athiest, than a republican. The days of fools like you is numbered “thank god (joke)”.

“That would take genuine heart changes and couples dedicating their marriages to Jesus Christ, selflessly loving each other and serving each other as He did the church.”
Oooooh. Now there is a handy bit of preaching. Thanks for the sermon, Preacher. Funny how you preacher types know next to nothing about religion but spout out all your distorted views backed up by some verse you really don’t understand. The above sermon is sheer puffery coming from preachers like you. Sweet authorative directives clothed in the “Big Crutch” you hobble around on. I think the birdies have been chirping in your head for a long time.
Hey, guess what? I can preach too. “Down on your knees you heathens!!” Ya like that Jake? Based on what follows you would be up for a little “fire and brimstone.”
What a case you are, preacher. Blippity blap.
And then you further intoned in your deep preacher voice:
Think of it as a self-imposed slavery.
Holy Moly!!! So that is what a Christian marriage is all about! Slavery!!! Jesus saw himself in his incarnation here, as a slave? What Bible did you get that from? That sounds more like devil worship to me. Let’s see now. Bush sold his soul to the devil and you worship Bush. Hmmm… That’s an interesting thought.
Well, now I see why you are stuck in 1st gear when argu..er …discussing your points with Crump’s Brother! His multiple attempts to get through to you went nowhere. You worship at the alter of slavery, and your envy just oozes when anyone expresses confidence and freedom.
Crump’s Brother was making musical sounds with your head.
Here’s a hint, Jake. The longer you are a punching bag, the more you hear the little birdies chirping and the less you can hear the real world around you. Its called being punch drunk. Blippity blap. Jake.
April 16th, 2007 at 4:15 pmI think pulling out is a fantastic way to kill all the terrorists! If we withdrawal the terrorists will follow us back to the USA. So all we have to do is park some SUBs between us and Iraq and wait till the TERROR BOAT (large boat filled with terrorists and all of their weapons) comes through and sink’em!
How do you like that plan?
