Freakin' lunatics! story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030327/pl_nm/iraq_usa_congress_dc&cid=615&ncid=1478 Well, it's certainly nice to know that we are at war with crazed religious fanatics. Fasting, huh? I guess, I will know when exactly to take my wife to a restaurant. I will make it Middle-Eastern. I believe, their cuisine is rather heavy on meat.
.............................................. i thought jesus was already on our side.... ...now im confused...
Ugh, But I always like when Dubya says for us all to pray for our country. We're way ahead of you Dubya. Trust me.
Who ARE these people? Ya know, shyte like this pisses me off. I'd really rather have our representatives spending their time finding solutions that will help relieve the problems, thereby the suffering, of some 41.5 million people in this country who do not have health insurance. OF FREAKIN' COURSE those who pray are praying for the troops. And News Flash to our Representatives....they're praying for the people of Iraq as well! More Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Wasting of our tax dollars.
Anyone who finds themselves in the New York Metro region on this national day of prayer can join me at my Wiccan ceremony, where we will burn crosses on the Great Lawn of Central Park, sacrifice some goats and drink their blood. We might conclude with an invasion of those infidel Canadian Wiccans, depending on time. I mean, c'mon, if it's for the good of the country...
The House of Representatives is quickly making itself into a complete joke of a legislative body, if it hasn't already. What a bunch of maroons. Holy crapola! I just finished the article, and we haven't had a national day of fasting and prayer since 1863! We managed to avoid this during WWII, but we can't now? Unbelievable.
I freely admit that I don't usually pay attention to the House. This is a painful reminder of why. Of course, I'm aware these knuckleheads were in charge of the entire "Freedom Fries" debacle... The House has almost as much legitimacy as Iraq's legislative branch.
I don't know what's worse, the house spending time on a resolution calling for a day of prayer. Which further alienates the non-religious (not that we needed another push) and will bring an indifferent response from the majority of our population who is doing it already. OR spending time on a resolution expressing support for US troops and POW's. Personally, I was pretty confident that I knew where every House member comes down on that one.
That one was just a trap, you see. Find out who would vote against it, arrest him, beat him up and Guantanamo Bay-here-I-come. Very clever.
The US started pressuring us in delivering them criminals to the US to be judged there and do time over here under Clinton. So I really do see a certain pattern here. So far one is in jail in the US (against the deal) and another is being screwed over on a statement by another criminal. Another one I'm not sure about, he was lured to the US and arrested for attempting to have sex with a minor (which was in reality a 45 year old FBI agent). Point is... the same as always... you decide.. rest of the world abide. Or else... If it were up to me we would have backed Germany on this one (not the French, they're no friends of us either).
Honestly, this is the same kind of sophomoric waste-of-time BS undergrad student gov'ts in college do.
I am glad to know that at least some of our allies are keeping their cool in these trying times: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...n_re_mi_ea/war_peanut_puffs&cid=540&ncid=1473
Counterpraying fight, antiwar terrorists pray for the end of war rather than to bless the war. No comment reported from God.
Bagdad women train themselves for the Battle for God. The conquest of God's blessing is said to be one of the most important targets in modern war.
Oh well, I'm not really represented by theses schmucks anyway. How is it some dipshit from Nebraska gets to have a represntative call for a day of prayer and I don't? I want my Freedom Fry vote too! Oh yeah, that's right Taxation without Representation!
Sometimes I fantasize about running for Congress, winning a seat and then showing up to work with a baseball bat so I can beat the ************ out of the morons who propose ************ like this and the "Freedom Fries" thing. It would be like the parliament from that Asian country, I forget which one, where they get in fistfights every few months.
Mark Twain wrote his famous "War Prayer" when the US invaded the Philippines. Here is part of it: "O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire;...help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land...We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love."
