Bush, "I Have no compassion."

[Joe Brummer]

just make sure we give awediot a chance to speak! I want us all to be heard.....

[awediot]

Don't worry about that, JoeB... I appreciate some of the (overused term, but,) closure the past few posts gave. This war is a terrible thing where ever your support lies, and if it can't generate forgivable passions, than what can? Perhaps the other issues touched on are better left to a more focused thread and our leader can be put aside until the next spectacle worthy of comment.

More bumping for Liberal Crozier - here are some more (intense) conversations we've had along the lines of your most recent post. Happy reading!

W...the Waste!

[Liberal Crozier]

thus begins the English lyrics to our national anthem. We have a united right wing for the first time in our history, and they have succeeded in forming a minority government. Our left wing is fractured and led by pragmatic centrists intent on creating a new labour force for the global neocon strategies.

Yet, having said all this...I know that 35 million Canadians have a progressive and compassionate tradition that supports human rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We must have the hijacked Tories regain its progressive social wing, and we must purge the left of "enemies in the camp." and more, unite the left wing of the nation into one party.

The Original Underground Railroad, ended in Brompton, ON. Today, with GPS systems, fascist vigilantes, and a DHS entrenched in our Canadian airports, it will take ingenuity and commitment worthy of the European Allied Resistance during WWII.

I come from a very conservative background and I used to support Bush, and others like him. But after his blatant disregard for the civil rights of gays and lesbians, and the bullying his administration has done to Iraq, I am not so sure I support him anymore. That is not to say that Democrats are any better. I don't think gays and lesbians would fare any better with Democrats in power. They might, but Clinton backed out on a lot of things he promised to GLBT people. Who knows? But I'm with schoolboi-Canada looks pretty good.

[Zerbie]

There is no real reason to vote for democrats. I vote for them, but not because they're better. because they're less worse.

If some one claims to be a Christian, I take that at face value. It is off the table and a relationship between them and God I have no desire to challenge... But when horrible things are done in your name by association, and you become guilty and maligned by anothers action, it takes on a little different tone.

I have no idea who Bush is listening to, but it is not the God I know... His insane actions make perfect sense IF he 1. is a Globalist first 2. views patriotism as a roadblock to his global aspirations 3. sees a need to debase Christianity 4. is willing to commit political suicide and destroy his own reputation for the greater Universal good.

I think he has done a superb job paving the way and this country, and this religion will never recover. His boss should be delighted. (and to drag the conspiracy out, a dem wouldn't make any difference. Remember they, Bush and Kerry, were both bonesmen...)

Russ feingold is the man, I love the last line he says regarding George W:

What kind of country is it when Martha Stewart goes to jail for sort-of 50K insider trading but the president's son becomes president even though he was cited 3 times for intentional 200k+ insider trading but was never prosecuted because his daddy was president then?

Anyway, I want LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANS to buy themselves a TV station like Faux News and CBN. Imagine Revs. Welton Gaddy and Jim Wallis and James Forbes and Irene Munroe and Peter Gomes and Martin Marty and Joseph Lowery (and the list goes on & on...) with 24/7 access to intelligent christian viewers...It would be like Sojourners and Christian Century and The Witness and the Door and the Other Side magazines have come to life...

mmmmmmm now that's a parousia I can commit to...

[tdogg]

What is the joke that was circulating around - we take the only woman (you can insert 'person') who is willing to cook, clean, and do all the household crafts and projects and throw her into jail. Makes no sense!

There are others in higher positions who have done not only inside trading, but assorted crimes that would not only lead to prison time but possibly executed in this country and because of their position or who they know, they don't even get a slap on the wrist.

Makes no sense...

revtj,

Quotes like this solidify the disapproval of sexually unrestrained ideologies:

"...we who are christian are heirs to a body-despising, woman-fearing, sexually repressive religious tradition. If we are to continue as members of the church, we must challenge and transform it at the root. What is required is more than simply a 'reformation.' I am speaking of revolutionary transformation. Nothing less will do." ~Carter Heyward, Touching Our Strength:The Erotic As Power and the Love of God p. 47.

The New Testament writers speak volumes against living a life defined by eroticism. The vast majority of Christians read the Bible without "reading into it" things that are not there.

As a Christian and a married man, I do not despise my body, my wife's body nor fear women. Never have never will. The Bible is a very erotic book as evidenced by the women in the Bible mentioned over and over again as "exceedlingly beautiful." Sarah, Bathsheba, being so good looking men would literally kill for them. Until the LGBTQ community and culture stops presenting their views as those of pure sexuality the message will be what most fear. An overhauling of decency and sensibilty to unleash "Erotic as a Power."

What are you talking about?

This is desperately offensive! "Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered" do not equal "sexually unrestrained."

Listen.
Hear.
Never say such a disingenuous thing again!
