gosh dont remember one name and cant spell the other

he interviewed her and she talked bush fundi ism, and jon stewart? didnt believe bush was fundie. he doesnt know. now he is pretty connected. but that is why so much of getting this out is important. i dont think a lot of public knows bush is this bad. i mentioned bush saying crusade to the world, and this person questioned me. couldnt believe that word was used, then when i say bush said to world god told me too, that floors them.

i had a teacher hold up the bible to me and said it says it in revelation. when i was talking to her about bush, and what school was teaching children

a commercial that says god is happy with george bush being president. this i need to confirm. kids saw it.

i think the uniformed religious, simply needs to be informed

5. another link

"Do you pray to Allah?" one asked. "I said yes. They said, ' you. And him.' One of them said, 'You are not getting out of here health, you are getting out of here handicapped. And he said to me, 'Are you married?' I said, 'Yes.' They said, 'If your wife saw you like this, she will be disappointed.' One of them said, 'But if I saw her now she would not be disappointed now because I would rape her.' "

He said the soldiers told him that if he cooperated with interrogators they would release him in time for Ramadan. He said he did, but still was not released. He said one soldier continued to abuse him by striking his broken leg and ordered him to curse Islam. "Because they started to hit my broken leg, I cursed my religion," he said. "They ordered me to thank Jesus that I'm alive."

The detainee said the soldiers handcuffed him to a bed.

"Do you believe in anything?" he said the soldier asked. "I said to him, 'I believe in Allah.' So he said, "But I believe in torture and I will torture you.' "

End of the article on the third page. I feel sick to my stomach.

After this kind of thing I'm interested in seeing our armed forces brought up on charges for war crimes.

called what they did to these people by its correct name.

The enablers, spinmeisters and apologists, OTOH, call it "abuse," "mistreatment" and "humiliation."

Oh, I wonder if we'll get that second, well-earned extension on the exemption from the World Court. After all, we're the beacon of democracy throughout the world.

7. Last night on Frontline a docudrama of Bush's rise to power through
Edited on Fri May-21-04 09:57 AM by Tellurian
the support of The Christian Coalition (Evangelicals) called "THE JESUS FACTOR".

Bush uses the Christians to draw support from their huge voting block citing a revelation he received from God while attending church one summer Sunday morning.

scary stuff... In their minds, they have likened Bush to Moses receiving the tablets on the mount.. All nut cases!

Read about it here. And if you get a chance, watch this episode you will be shocked and stunned once you realize how radicalized his mind has become and the danger this posses to the World.

14. he is hijacking the true teaching ...and I got his bible to back it up !
Edited on Fri May-21-04 11:22 AM by vetwife
As a christian, I am very disturbed as to how misguided he is.
God is Love...as a believer that is what I am instructed.
God LOVES all people, all faiths, all of mankind.
When he changed the word of God to be strictly America to worship, he admittely struck down The True Jesus Factor as when HIS
bible said to Put your trust in no man. When he applies himself as an angel, the bible speaks of this too. There is a passage that says not to change the words and if one proclaiming to be an angel of light BELIEVE IT NOT ! See, this is the true evil and those who are true christians know better or should. In that same Bible it says that good and evil do not flow from the same fountain..well how does he explain War, and Death and destructionand cursing and intolerance and unforgiving and not admiting mistakes and then grab the Bible. It doesn't work that way.

He is very dangerous Folks. He has mislead people of poverty and people who want to believe in something..anything to make their lives better. They see a RICH man in the highest human Power on Earth. The Power of the Presidency and they think God put him there.
His handlers, strategists and the Devil himself has made a mockery of christianity just as Osama did withthe State of Islam and culture of Religion. Don't think all christians are of this mind set. Look at Jessie Jackson. Look at Jimmy Carter. These people are not like Bush and not wanting the worship going to them. George W. Bush is America's Osama.
Do I beleive there is a devil? You bet I do..And his bunch is in the white house !
