The Tim LeHaye Fundie Guys must be cringing as they had backed up
BushCo fuul on... bet the Farm on him, only to see a major disaster on their hands. But what can they do, its "ALL IN", the bet is that far, they got no choice but to wait for the Flop, the River, and the Turn.

And they not looking good holding a duece, a 3, and a 7... What can they do? Pray. But in this case, the odds look like shit.

2. Neither am I, but the Fundies are in a Realm of their own. If they stay
in the realm, thats one thing, but they have "Come Out" of their zones to attempt influencing secular discourse/politics, thats another matter.

3. Oh, I think maybe they got it right
LaHaye has always said that Saddam was a minion of Satan and that the Anticrist would be a successor of Saddam.

Well, Saddam is out of power, the U.S. owns and controls Iraq now, so that makes Saddam's successor...George W. Bush.

Sounds about right to me.

5. I suspect they missed that whole "no one knows the day or the hour" thing
It's confounded better people than they since the gathering of the Gospels. It makes a fine and compelling narrative, as attested by the popularity of the potboiler "Left Behind" series. But these people would be well served to remember that it's nothing on which to base your life or your foreign policy.

Just going to get a lot of people killed who would otherwise be alive.

6. They got the "Lets bleed him back to Health" thingy. Re to G Washington
who bled to death by doctors who were misinformed, misguided while attempting to get our 1st President back to good health. They bled him 3 times for Gods Sake and the poor fella passed away.

The Fundies are embracing a Fantasy, and normally thats their biz, but when they influence National Politics....its dangerous to our National Health.

13. Get yer Eschatology on!
If I were still a fundamentalist, I would be very excited right now. In addition to the latest "Left Behind" book, things all around the world are looking just like Jesus said they would during the End Times®.

1) Middle East in turmoil. Check.
2) Growing revived "Roman Empire" (The EU). Check.
3) Plague of locusts. Check.
4) Giant earthquakes predicted. Check.
5) Xian movie scores at box office. Check.
6) Xian book scores at bookstore. Check.
7) Xian President scores at polls. Check.
8) Rise in godlessness in US. Check.
9) Liberal churches support immorality. Check.
10) Jane Fonda is born again. Check.

In the fundy mindset, all bad news is good news for it simply supports the End Time theory that everything will go to hell before Jeeeee-Zus arrives.

The worse things get, the happier the Fundies will be. And they will be grinnin' as the mushroom clouds appear on the horizon.

If only they realized how badly we all wish the Rapture would really take them all away.

14. I read the whole series
and came to the conclusion that at the Glorious Appearing it was the Democrats who sit at the right as the Lords sheep because of the passage about "those of you who do for the least of my bretheren do for me", it has been mentioned here on DU but I do not know the passage. The repukes are the goats that go to the lake of fire because of the fact that "those of you who do NOT do for the least of my bretheren you do not do for me" Well at the end of the series all those nice people who did nice for the poor, down trodden etc stayed with the Lord, and all those who believed in the "trickle down theory" got to go swimming in a very hot lake permanetly. I read alot and did enjoy the series and found that the writings of the book and the scripture they quoted was pure contradiction to the political leanings of the authors. I've had some great conversations with Chrisitan friends and non Chrisitian friends who have read this series, there is a very repuke friend of mine that claims that she will not vote because she can not support the * but does not believe in the Dem stand on abortion, but she will not vote in Nov period.

19. Not too many "Idiots " in those tribal days which is still going on in
certain places.

But those that put "Idiots" in charge are not around....

Rome comes to mind, Nero, Caligula, etc

So does Uganda with Idi Amin

And Taylor with Liberia,

etc etc

Poor Leaders, Judge them by their Fruits or Lack of.

20. Nashyra, What makes people susceptible to this notion that Bush is Bad but
cannot vote Dem?? Is it Pride that prevents this? Is it embarrassment? Don't they know that this election might be comped like the last one.... and the only way to prevent that is to hold their noses and vote DEM to make it a Landslide and untouchable to those that want to cheat. Does she support cheating too?

I don get it.

Oh well,

Come, we go surf, mo bettah an mo fun

18. Hi Ezlivin, thanks for the response:
In describing the fundies, you are spot on.

Come, we go drink, sing, eat, laugh, smile, golf?, and scuba for lobsters.
