In October, Eric Margolis wrote an article called, The World wants John Kerry but Biloxi wants George Bush.

When you add the Jews, the Christians Fundies and the Catholics all together its a done deal. Whatever happened to basic Christian principles? I think they went down the tube when the Pope killed the Cathars. From there on out, it was all about power and central authority.

I'm a non-baptized Christian with a personal relationship to Christ. I won't be a part of a "moral majority" that kills in Christ's name.

Sorry again, Landmine, but you really don't have a clue about my voting record. Assuming facts not in evidence.

As far as "authentic" war heroes go there's John Kerry, who cowards like Dick Cheney- and possibly yourself?- enjoy telling lies about.

And do look up the definition of cognitive dissonance- might save you future embarrassment.

MG, America's worst enemy is America and its foreign policy. The Muslims are simply defending themselves.

Disagree with Bill Moyers all you want, the man is brilliant. Compare him to that hate spewing fat assed drug dealer, Rush Limbaugh.

"MG, America's worst enemy is America and its foreign policy. The Muslims are simply defending themselves."

gee, Kendall...I can work up some agreement for the first part of that, but not for the 2nd part. Some Muslims may think that's what they are doing, but many are going FAR beyond "just defending themselves". 9/11 was a hate crime...not a defensive action, and Palestinian suicide bombing are planned by people with a political agenda that, again, goes way beyond 'defense'.
(yes, yes, yes, folks- I KNOW...the Palestinians DO have legitimate gripes...I am simply saying their actions as Muslims go beyond 'simple defense'...just as the Israelis do.)

Actually Greg you may be right that cognative dissonance was not the right word to use for you.

Upon reflection the right word is hypocrite.

And in my life I've known heros; in my view John Kerry was no hero. I know of no Marine Officer who would have put in for a Purple Heart that was treated with a Bandaid. And you'll note he never released his SF-180 which would have laid all the questions to rest, including who wrote him up for the medals, since none of his superior officers did.

Apparently as I surmised, Landmine: Cowards like Dick Cheney AND you.

Shame on you both.

Judging from the number of times Martin Gibson has cited Michael Savage, he seems to be quite a fan.

And who, exactly is Michael Savage? HERE. And where did he come from? HERE.

He makes Rush Limbaugh sound like Mr. Rogers. Not exactly a paragon of political acumen. All heat. No light.

Gotta agree with you on Kerry as a hero, Claymore... But, needless to say, Bush was to busy hidin' to even get a chance to be a hero...

BTW, don't worry none... I got tools so if all the mechanics get yanked up to heaven, we'll keep their hot rods hot...

Actually, if thois rapture thing is gonna happen I hope it happens soon! It will certainly get rid of a bunch of pain in butts and go a long way toward solving the traffic problems...

Come get 'um, Lord... They're all got their bags packed so they are good and ready so will ya' please come get 'um... Take Junior first! Bye-de-bye, Gerogie... Have a nice trip...

Kerry had the balls to take the fight to the snipers on shore instead of running up the middle of the river. He also had the balls to take the wrongness of Vietnam's murderous antics to the Congress. Bush has no balls at all in either regard, except for learning to fly.

RaptureReady.com advises the soon-to-depart to stick a note on the fridge to brief those left behind—husbands, wives and in-laws—about the horrors in store for them.

The above link really gets the ol' mythology out on the table, doesn't it:

---

Why Didn't He Take Me?


If you are reading this after the rapture, you need to realize that you have been left behind. At this time, you may be feeling rejected by God. You might be saying to yourself, "Why didn't He take me?" or "I don't understand; I've led a good life." The problem isn't that God rejected you; the problem is that you have rejected Him. By not committing your life to Jesus and by declining to follow Him, you have left Him with no choice but to leave you behind.

These guys make it sound rational, which is the most curious thing about it -- a system overflowing with madness, illogicality and/or superstition being supported by well-formed paragraphs and sentences that sound almost sentient. Remarkable. I think I will sit this dance out.

What is amazing to me is that they can't stretch their imaginations enough to realize that George Bush could possibly be the Antichrist. Personally, I would nominate Henry Kissinger but I'm not sure if Jews qualify.

This sounds like fun, don't ya think?:

"From there, they will have the best seats in the house as the unsaved perish in a series of spectacular fires, wars, plagues and earthquakes."

Fairly hard to fathom that this scenario is supposed to be HEAVEN.

I kind of liked this one:

"From time to time, sophisticated Americans indulge the thrillingly terrifying thought that nutty, apocalyptic, born-again Texans are guiding not just conservative social policies at home, but America's agenda in the Middle East as well, as they round up reluctant compatriots for the last battle at Armageddon. (It's a bit south of the Lake of Galilee in the plain of Jezreel.")
