I like the part where he reprised that, shaking his finger in Chris Matthews' face -- just as he did in that long-gine day where he assured us he did not have sex 'With that woman, Monica Lewinsky."
It gets pretty bad when anyone has to resort to pointing his finger at you to get his point across. Its as if his argument isnt strong enough to stand on its own.
Considering we've had three years now of Democrats and the media repeating "Bush Lied" and declaring everything Bush does a failure its about time the man who was in charge for 8 years got ONE QUESTION about what he did to stop OBL. Especially since Democrats tried to kill the ABC movie "The Path to 9/11" which started to explain to those who do not know exactly how we got where we are.
It is not a "blame game". It is history. And for over three years now, the left has been trying to rewrite it (for instance, putting the person who made it nearly impossible for the FBI and CIA to share intelligence information, Jamie Gorelick, on the 9/11 commission).
If the public accepts the redacted history the left is putting out, the war on terror is lost right now.

The Video was edited by who I don't know but what you saw with sticks and stuff is a play that they were doing a dance a drama whatever you want to call it.. and dying for Jesus is different they don't take guns etc.. to blow people up they teach the word of God. Some people don't like it and will even kill a christian like it is a trophy. They are not evil people looking to hate people from different races their goal is to love the people to show God's love... The girl who had tape over her mouth that said life on it was a protest against abortion the baby inside can not speak for his self.. so there for the child mouth was tape with the word life on it. someone did a great job of editing the tape to give christians a bad image but, all was edited.
Just because you don't see all of it you will get the wrong ideal but, if you have questions I can answer to this video. Christians are to show love not hatred. Like all people in different beliefs you get a mix of everything but, a true christian is to show Jesus love.
You're right
I'm a Christian and would be happy to be a member of God's Army! Now that I think about it, I guess I already am--just have never labeled myself that way. I speak the Good News everyday! I agree with who wrote that we need to keep a watchful eye for those that use Jesus' name and do not do good works. And then tell them so-loud and clear. Name one Christian country were other religions are not welcome to practice their faith? We are a loving and accepting group. Christians would rejoice if all the world was believers and we tell people about what Jesus did for us everyday we can, but we understand that it is a personal choice to choose to believe and that can not be forced on anyone, but all are welcome.

Being "anti-war" and opposed to increasing the power of the executive branch, is in fact conservative, technically speaking. But it really depends on your definition of conservative - as apparently a lot of people can't form a conception as to what is 'liberal' or 'conservative' without relying on partisan politics to define it for them.
Exactly-just like you can have a fascist athiest.
By definition, a fascist promotes the separation and persecution or denial of equality to a specific segment of the population based upon superficial qualities or belief systems-for example your attack of believers would fall as a fascist comment.

You can have that one - but it doesn't make Lennon a communist.
I might say that Marx and Trotsky had 'some' good ideas - but that doesn't make me a communist either
You're mighty defensive towards your fellow liberals aren't you.
I never called Lennon a communist. Reread my posts.
No - but you've demonstrated on numerous occasions your 1-level approach to thinking - all liberals are communists, all celebrities are liberals. And all that $hit.
You talk like liberal is a bad word. Why do you take offense? Some extreme lefties are communists, but they don't like that term so they just call themselves Democrats, which imo is a detriment to the party. There are good conservative democrats that suffer because of the fringe freaks in their party or people that claim to represent them. Lennon is noone special. I didn't cry when he died. It is a shame someone assasinated him, but he was noone special.

Couldn't agree more.
OOPSIE, Iraq wasn't about Islamic extremist.
The mistake George W made is by saying it was solely about WMD and Saddam. Islamic extremism is a much bigger problem than WMD and Saddam. If left alone it will grow bigger and more unmanageable.
But then what did Saddam have to do with Islamic extremism?
Seems there is more extremism post-Saddam than before. Of course that might be because his military dictatorship kept those "internal" elements under control. Still - since unsecured borders opened the floodgates to more of these people from neighbouring countries, it makes you wonder what strategy is on display here.
That would require giving the man more executive power-which you don't appear to agree with either. It is like parting the waters to get anything done in Washington.

Boycott Canada. I am so glad I don't live there anymore. How disrespectful to our country to fly the flag upside down.

Who cares? Believers care. He is the leader of the Church, God's Church here on earth. I listen to what he has to say and BELIEVE. Flame me all you want. Jesus Christ is our Risen Lord and he created the Church with Peter being the first Pope. The Bible speaks again and again that it is wrong to divorce and remarry and that sodomy is wrong. But I understand that unless you are a believer and seen God's good works, you would never follow the Lord. The law of Lord doesn't change. What what truth then is truth now! It is each and everyone of our rights to choose to believe or choose not to believe, but if a politician states he is a practicing Catholic, he can't have his cake and eat it too. No Catholic can say that they are pro-choice or pro-samesex marriage. The Bible has taught us those things are wrong and it would be a misrepresentation to the Church if someone identified themselves as Catholic and then blatently went against one of the principle foundations of the Church.

Um. Religion?I think what he was inplying is that the two are examples of hate filled leaders of a group of people who use religion as an excuse or deciding factor in their actions as satanists on earth.
Satan!
Your respect for other people's opinions is greatly appreciated

Even if you don't believe that satan or God exists, you understand what each represents, correct or would you like me to restate using a different adjective.

This is a religious war-that is why it is so complicated and drawn out. America is a country built on Christian beliefs and formed on religious, economic and social freedoms. You are welcome to worship as you wish in our country and nothing is keeping you back other than your own two feet. We are blessed and fortunate to live in a country based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and at the same time peaceful and tolerant to allow its citizens to worship as they wish, Christian or not. Jews, Hindus, Muslims have not lived in a place more peaceful and accepting as the US in the history of the world. Satan and his worriors are not so happy with this acceptance and are trying to shake our foundation. We will not loose.
Do you believe that George W. Bush is truly a Christian?
yes, I believe he tries to live a Christian life, like many others. 93% of Americans are Christian.
Maybe 93 % of Americans believe in God. That does not make them Christian. Also, I think your numbers are out of date. Source
Is Bush a Christian? Maybe he thinks so, but being a Christian means that your life is shaped by the basic principles of Christianity and that you strive to imitate Christs example in all aspects of your life. That seems to be not the case with the current president. But all this depends on what you define as a Christian...
They asked if he was a Christian, not if he was a Saint.
Key word is strive. None of us will ever be as good as Christ.

Leading a Christian life can mean being nice to your neighbor, being a good husband, helping old people cross the road. By saying that 93% of Americans are Christian, I'm suspecting that you are taking this broad definition, but that is not actually being a Christian. Do you think he is trying to lead a "Christian life", or do you think he is really Christian?
GWB states his Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ.

If you don't have something worthwhile to add to the discussion, please refrain from commenting.
Probably not. This dude is smoking something good!

Oh, and BTW, do watch out for Satan. I do and you should, too. It seems he might have a hold of something or someone.
I sure ain't debating some freak that thinks we're fighting a fcuking holy war.
But I'll be back for some amusement. You're so whacko, man! Oh, and if you don't like what I write, I'd suggest you refrain from reading it. Good Luck to you, my friend.

...just as in Islam, unfortuately they blame/credit Islam for their actions when they should give the credit to Satan and evil for what they do.

Churches have produced priests that molest little boys. BUT christianity does NOT.
Churches don't produce priests that molest. It is free will of the people and temptation that produces sinful acts.

resonse to usmc
"if i vote democrat they will impliment social programs,cut military spending and cause my taxes to be higher"
you do realize that what you said is....
if i vote democrat they will try to take care of people here at home not spend money attacking independent nations and provide us with a finantually responsible budget.
just asking
No. You see, I loathe social programs. They are a budget disaster. They account for FAR more money in the budget than the military does. In order to expand them, they must raise taxes and that means taking my money away to help uneducated people become helpless.
Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, WIC, Section 8, etc. do NOTHING except condition lower class people into 'needing' some sort of handout from the government. It is one of the worst ideas EVER.
To add insult to injury, it raises MY taxes to pay for it.
In 2004 the U.S. spent 453 Billion on national defense.
They also spent 213 Billion on health care services, 270 Billion on medicare, and 250 Billion on income security(i.e. welfare). In addition $55 billion is spent on smaller social programs.
That is a total of $788 BILLION on social programs for 2004.
The total budget was 2.4 trillion thus making a full 33% of all spending going towards social programs, while 18% went to the ENTIRE department of defense.
Encourage people to work, and it will get better.
You forget that many people who collect medicare and social security have paid money into the system for decades, thus the government is just returning money to them. If this is paid out of income taxes then only because it squandered the money these people paid throughout their lifetime.
The military budget is financed exclusively out of income taxes and I'm sure once you total that out the percentages will look different. But, I agree it's not fair because in the same way you oppose having your tax money go towards welfare, I hate to see my taxes go towards defense. There should be a system which allows you to determine to which part of government your taxes go.
Those figures don't include social security. Its just welfare my friend.
Would you mind providing a source?
I've checked the budget for 2006 and the taxes collected for medicare and social security are actually higher than the $788 Billion spend on social programs (by about 100 billion). Income taxes only make up 44% of the entire budget, meaning that most of these things are paid for through other taxes. To assume that the taxes you pay are used to primarily provide social services assumes that the budget is only drawn from income taxes.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the defense budget does not include current military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan (financed through extraordinary appropriation bills), R&D, Veterans' affairs, and a so-called "black budget." Taken together, the military budget is much higher than the 447 Billion you cite.

Satan and his worriors are not so happy with this acceptance and are trying to shake our foundation. We will not loose.I hate to break it to you, but America is not a Christian country nor was it founded as a Christian country or buillt on Christian beliefs. America is a country spawned by enlightenment thought. Its founder were deists, meaning that they believed in a monotheistic God but not necessarily the Christian God.
What you're suggesting is - holy war - is a medieval idea that would have America's founders turn in their graves.
That is the funniest thing I have heard all day!!!!!!
HISTORY
Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks, the context of these words is omitted.
Here is what he actually said:"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this:"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator."
He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.
On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: "It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: " The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools, with over 125 million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963.
President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation." Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey:"The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our nation, on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free Institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. For all these extracts from the Bible, I make no apology."
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life,! John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this:"We have staked the whole future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots. You are encouraged to share this with others, so that the truth of our nation's history will be told.To find out more,look up government and the T.E.A.

Man, what do you really think!
I think that was Ace's point. You are sponsoring someone and you speak english, so it is easy for you to do it legally. If these people are refuggees (more or less), they don't have a sponsor. They are just trying to survive and better their life. Totally different situation than you, just trying to be with your fiance/spouse. You have the option to choose between your country and your spouses. These people are both from a foreign country and are trying to get to what they have heard is their promised land. Man, you are mean.
