Bush quietly meets with Amish here (Lancaster, PA)…offer prayers

[kskiska]

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - President Bush met privately with a group of Old Order Amish during his visit to Lancaster County last Friday. He discussed their farms and their hats and his religion.He asked them to vote for him in November.

The Amish told the president that not all members of the church vote but they would pray for him.

(snip)

Stoltzfus reports: “It took a while to get them through the metal detectors as these were farmers and shop men, with vice grips, pocket knives, and nuts and bolts in their pockets. Some ladies had baby gear. All pockets had to be emptied.’’ When the Amish were “found not to be a serious threat to national security,’’ they were allowed inside the office area of Lapp Electric and waited about 30 minutes for the president to appear.

“Babies got restless. Children squirmed,’’ Stoltzfus reports. “Suddenly the president and five Secret Service men stepped into the room. One housewife said, ‘Are you George Bush?’’’

(snip)

“One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie,’’ Stoltzfus says. “Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren’t supposed to eat untested food.’’

At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’

[Lefty48197]

1. Did he offer to take them for rides in his limosine?

How about air force one?

[kikiek]

2. "I trust god speaks through me" How delusional! He needs meds quickly!

[kskiska]

8. That line has to get to the mainstream media

or to Kerry's camp. It's likely to be overlooked coming from a small town paper.

[lancdem]

15. Actually, it's not that small

Lancaster County has almost half a million people. :)

[Bo]

19. Completely delusional

your right he need s help now...messiah complex.

[progressivebydesign]

26. No CheneyWAY! He didn't say that? Did he? He's nutz! N/T

[kikiek]

30. Don't you wonder where the press is?

As long as he is serving the neo cons purpose they don't care if he is mentally ill. They are probably feeding his delusions. When he slurring his words and such I often wonder if he isn't drugged or something. Probably not, but it's too frightening to think of someone like him being the most powerful person in the freeworld.

[TahitiNut]

51. The pathological narcissist is getting worse, as expected.

His "supply-siders" have enabled his pathology to such extremes I wouldn't be surprised if he melts down ... or he's so medicated he can barely focus. This guy is over the hill.

[Kool Kitty]

55. The last time I heard a statement this nuts,

it was from the Son of Sam saying that God talked to him through a dog. He spoke to the Amish about their hats and their religion. I would give anything to hear a transcript of that conversation. "Gee, you folks wear cool hats." What an embarrassment.

[Justice]

3. The arrogance...

"I trust God speaks through me." Without that, I couldn’t do my job."

This really bothers me.

[lancdem]

9. It bothers me, too

No wonder Bush never admits he's wrong. He thinks everything he does is God's will.

[Cha]

10. What a freakin', scary, arrogant, delusional,

hypocrite and the fundies just eat that up.

[Kool Kitty]

56. And by doing that, he can act irresponsibly.

"I was only following God's orders, honest!" sorta like Flip Wilson's "Geraldine" character, who did things because the Devil made her do them. Like Geraldine, except for the fact that Geraldine had a certain charm. And W has none.

[Thor_MN]

78. I've been saying exactly that for months...

He can't admit error because he believes that he is doing god's will. If he were to screw up, that would mean that god was not perfect and destroy his whole belief system. He is a total whack job and probably believes that he is without sin. Having him anywhere in the line of command of the world most powerful military is dangerous. Having him at the top is just plain insane.

[AbbeyRoad]

29. It's very arrogant and troubling

It's a very presumptuous statement and once again demonstrates a lack of humility.

[SammyWinstonJack]

69. Really bothers me, too!

"I trust God speaks through me. 'Without that, I couldn't do my job." :wow: And just what job is that? Killing innocent people? What a friggin loon!

[devinsgram]

81. He is evidently not doing it, with it either.

[htuttle]

4. He said, "I trust God speaks through me" to the Amish?

I bet they didn't really like the sound of that.

I don't imagine they were fond of the war, either.

[Desperadoe]

50. He said, "I trust God speaks through me" to the Amish?

In the first place, Amish are not the least bit interested in national politics. The only time they will even participate in any governmental affair is when it directly affects their livelihood or threatens their lifestyle and religion. Any participation in politics is frowned on by the church, if not totally forbidden.

Secondly, if they knew he was going to use them as a political tool they would not have even been there. Amish hate being exploited by the English for any reason.

And third, that line about God speaks through me is just about the dumbest thing he could have said. The Amish do not believe that God speaks through any mortal man, that's why they have forsaken organized religions as we have come to know them. Even their own church elders are not seen as "men of God" but as ordinary people just like themselves who are only chosen as elders because they happen to have the most experience in church matters.

If he really wanted to make any points he should have eaten the whoopie pie. That's something that would have impressed the Amish more than his bullshit about God speaking through him. They're not very impressed by a man who would turn down good food.

I'm quite sure that the only reason that they were present was out of curiosity, sort of like when the circus used to come to town.

Hell, they were probably not even real Amish, just some of those phony actors from one of the local tourist attractions like Historic Strasburg or Abe's Buggy Rides.

[donco6]

54. You're absolutely right.

He couldn't have fouled it up worse.

[belle]

59. It's pretty hilarious, though...desperate much?

Who's he going a-courtin' next? The Shakers? I mean, they're all dead, but they can still vote, right? No? Better put Ashcroft to work on that...

[LiberalFighter]

74. Some Amish registered to vote here a few years ago

But they were strongly encouraged to rescind their registration by their elders.

[stevedeshazer]

5. “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’

:wtf:

By the way, can the Amish use electronic voting machines?

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. He'll be claiming infallibility next

"There are WMD in Iraq. The Lord would not allow me to be mistaken on such an important topic. I have spoken. We will draw a line under it."

[VoteDemocratic2004]

73. Oh your bad!

LOL

[Liberal Veteran]

6. I heard Whoopie Goldberg also offered * a Whoopie pie cookie.

But I think she manufactures her own!

[lancdem]

7. I live in Lancaster County and work for the Sunday newspaper

there. Lancaster Online is the Web site for our company's three papers. I just came back from vacation, so this is the first I've seen this. Why am I not surprised about Bush's messianic statement? The man is dangerous.

[Merlin]

18. Hello, God Almighty? It's me, W. Fine. How 'bout Yerself?

You know, Big Guy, I keep gettin' hassled by supposed Christians who complain about me launching that I-rack war. Think you could clue them in that Jesus was kinda way off base with that peace shit, and turning the cheek and all that liberal stuff. I mean these people gotta understand that lots a people ain't nowhere near as good as us and it's ok to hate 'em or kill em they don't like us. How 'bout having a little talk with your Boy about that. Meantime, I'm gonna tell my Dad he shouldn't feel bad I never asked him about going to war with I-rack. Sure he had all that experience and all, but... Hell, he's just not as with-it as Ma and me. A-right Big Guy, gotta go. Seeya.
Oh, hey, gotta laugh. That one Amish lady didn't know what I looked like. She probably just watches the cartoon channel.

[lancdem]

33. Hey, Merlin

:hi: from one Lancastrian to another!

[Merlin]

47. Hi Dip! Here's a present for you; something you may have missed.

If you've been gone, you may not have seen this absolute gem from Shruby's visit to the heartland:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/jiveturky/185733.html

[aquart]

11. The AMISH vote???? That's what he's reduced to?????

My god, this is pathetic.

[DerBeppo]

43. why?

they're constituents as well. only large voting blocs matter i suppose...

[aquart]

44. That's right, DerBeppo. Welcome to DU.

If you have large blocs, you don't make personal appearances with the fringe.

This shrieks that he sees Pennsylvania going Dem.

[Piperay]

64. In general the

Amish don't vote, they don't believe in.

[InkAddict]

12. Did I miss *'s ordination???

I stopped taking the Sacrament when the pastor decided he was going to give me absolution. Can someone explain to me why G-d would say "Bring It On?"

[KittyWampus]

13. Would Love To Know What The Old Order REALLY Think Of Bush

somehow I have faith that they'll know the difference between a man of peace and industry and then a man like Junior.

[maxsolomon]

17. the amish i know would probably believe it.

i only know some amish in southern indiana. they tend to be pretty distanced from the world of politics. as you see in the article, they didn't know what he looked like.

i envy them.

[Beaverhausen]

14. Whoopie Pie Cookies!!!

oh man. When I lived in the Philly burbs I used to get one of those every week from the wonderful Amish booth at the farmers market. God those things are good!

oh yeah...and Bush sucks!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

70. What's in the Whoopie Pie Cookie? The Amish stuff I used to get

at an Amish market in Burtonsville, MD was roast chickens and fresh cheesecake and fresh baked pretzels. These were so, so good...

Whoopie Pie Cookie, um, sounds rather "un-Amish" as a dessert name... just my opinion...

[devinsgram]

82. Whoopi pie cookies

2 big chocolate cookies with vanilla frosting in the middle. Did they really think the Amish were going to poison the idiot? LOL. Bet that SS man loved it.

[InkAddict]

80. Should have offerred the maggot

a Shoo-Fly pie!

[Kurt Remarque]

16. i don't suppose he told the how many people died because of him

[Bo]

21. Very scary wacko

[llmart]

22. Did he head to Intercourse after that?

Probably not. God probably told him Intercourse was sinful.

[TahitiNut]

52. Bird In Hand ...

... for the bird brain and dick head.

[rfkrocks]

23. hell-he declined a whoppie pie from an amish girl?

Kerry was going in a swiftboat down the delta getting shot at and this shrub needs a food taster? I feel like I woke up to a monarchy!-He needs a court jester too-I guess Zell Miller and Santorum will duke it out for the opening

[kskiska]

24. Well, he's got Dennis Miller,

his Sammy Davis Jr., for laughs.

25. Bwahahaha, the first thing that came to mind was Weird Al.....

Amish Paradise
by Al Yankovic

Lyrics:

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies all I agree I look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired

There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primitave as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really rightous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise

Yuck

27. I sent it to Milbank and to the NYT

In-freaking-sane.

28. “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’

Not your God , mind you......but can I count on your vote.
LOLOL...what next?.....they don't even know who this idiot is...
is there an aborigine community in the US ?....go for it chimpy !

[progressivebydesign]

31. I just realized. Bush is lying. It's fake..

Here's my theory: Bush doesn't REALLY think God speaks through him, or that he was chosen to lead the country. Remember when he first "took" office? He was joking about being a slacker student, and a partyer. He was on permanent vacation. He woke up late, jogged, played video games, took naps, etc. After 9/11, I think Rove, et al, decided that the only way Bush was going to get re-selected, was through the Christian vote. Also, there is A LOT of money from the Right WIng Christian machinery. It's a ploy.

Ponder this... If Bush believes that God speaks through him, did God say: "Adam Clymer, major league asshole". Did God say fuck you to Saddam? Does God make jokes about pussy? Does God take off on profanity laden tirades? Does God think George Bush's daughters are "a pain in the ass?".

Bush is not stupid. He's not compassionate. AND he's not a believer. He's a fake. He's a front for the real government, of Poppy Bush and Cheney. Rove is pulling the strings. Hughes and Rice are his handlers.

[goclark]

46. Right! Poppy in charge

Condi, Rove and Cheney are the babysitters.

[koopie57]

32. If God speaks through bush

and bush lies every time he opens his mouth ... humm...is bush calling God a liar?

[Demeter]

34. Trolling for Votes?

What must those people have thought? That they had met evil incarnate, no doubt. Bush needs prayers, and a whole lot more.

[truthisfreedom]

35. completely, totally unhinged.

we have a seriously dangerous man at the helm.

[Mari333]

36. My version of God is a hell of a lot different then Bush's version

Mine is compassion, love, laughter, empathy, gentleness, love, and joy.
If anything speaks to George W Bush, its a demon of hatred, fear, and pure unmitigated false pride, insanity, and arrogance.
Pride goeth before a fall.
PS
He needs to be removed asap. He is insane.

[Lisa]

40. agreed, Mari -- there's only one supernatural entity I can imagine ...

... saying something like "Lucky me, I hit the trifecta" after watching the WTC collapse.

The one with horns.

[PATRICK]

37. Frisking the Amish!!??

This is grotesquely absurd and as baroque an instance of Bush insanity as
the usual fare we have been innocently given by the wide-eyed media.

Would Kerry frisk those "dangerous" people ever or sneak into their camps by night for some form of electoral juju?

This is one of the blackest comedies I have ever heard about in any campaign ever.

[Citizen Daryl]

38. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY NEED FOR THE ONION. n/t

39. "Amish were found not to be a serious threat to national security"

ROFLMAO!

[marigold20]

75. I was trying to explain this article to a co-worker -

he said, "Oh, was that in the Onion this week?" Truly, you can't make this stuff up.

41. I work in a psychiatric ward at a hospital....

And I gotta tell ya, he'd fit right in.:crazy:

[Kool Kitty]

57. So does my husband.

And he says that he sees delusional patients like W all the time. He also says that W should either start ignoring the voices in his head or get his medication adjusted.

[LiberalFighter]

76. Rush WIndbag should have plenty for gw*

[lumpy]

42. "I trust God speaks through me..."

Does this ass believe he is the second coming or an avatar of God? He is definately unhinged or really stupid to make such a claim. Get out the nets.

[fob]

45. “I trust God speaks through me." What kind of faith in god is that?

If he truly had faith wouldn't he "KNOW god speaks through him"? If he's not so sure it's god, who the hell does he think is "speaking through him"!

“One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie,’’ Stoltzfus says. “Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren’t supposed to eat untested food.’’

WTF!?!

So they run them through metal detectors, frisk them and still let people bring Whoopiepie Made Desserts!! WMD's! His chimpiness declined it? He could at least taken it and discreetly handed to a SS agent.

This doesn't call for weird Al Yankovic, it calls for Golden Earring!

Help I've fallen into the twilight zone,
this is a madhouse, feel like being cloned!

[PATRICK]

48. Total political fiasco

This is the kind of stunt that would FINISH any Democratic contender in a
flurry of unrelenting media mockery. The more details that come out the more completely such a tar and feathering seems absolutely justified.

The free pass has been extended to November apparently.

[banana republican]

49. WTF the Amish going through metal detectors???????????

these people are the imager of peace and nonviolence. Iguess dubya doesn't believe in anything now....

PS

I find this offensive.

[daleo]

53. More evidence of Bush's incipient religious delusions, possible insanity

"At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’"

[JimGinPA]

58. How Ironic

That the "War President" chose one of the most anti-war groups in the country in an to attempt to solicit votes. What a buffoon!

[Hekate]

60. Ah, the Divine Right of Kings has made its return...

...complete with Royal Food Tasters, just like the Borgias.

Best of all, though -- trumpets flourish -- Behold the Buck Naked Emperor!

Speaking of royal dynasties: When is his and his clan's hubris going to invoke the wrath of the gods and the pursuit of the Eumenides?

Hekate
freely mixing myths and metaphors tonight

[Roy Robertson]

61. God speaks through Bush, in one ear and out the other! (nfm)

[MissAnnThrope]

62. I Trust God Speaks Through Me...

Holy Mother of God, I can't believe he said that. I know the man has a god complex, but he's losing it big time. The national media needs to get ahold of that statement. I can think of a lot of right wingers who wouldn't be happy to hear him say that.

I know people who won't believe me when I say he claims to have a direct link to God and speaks for God. Now, I have to download that story, so I have proof the next time someone tells me that he doesn't have a god complex.

The man belongs in a mental hospital at this point.

[Piperay]

63. Chimp MUST be desperate

I always heard that the Amish don't vote, they don't want to inter-fer in the natural order of things and that includes even voting. Chimp is such a morAn that apparently he doesn't know that and no one thought to tell him. I bet the Amish will pray for him, probably pray that he will grow a heart and a brain. :silly:

[Zorra]

65. Bu$h is the most pitiful, vile, evil hypocrite since Hitler.

He uses the name of the Christian God for political gain, just like Hitler did, and it is obvious, from his murderous actions, that he does not really believe in the Christian God, who is supposed to be a God of Love.

68. Bush* met with the Amish at Lapp ELECTRIC -- oh,

the irony! I guess God didn't speak to him about what the Amish believe.

71. Small turnout and probably not ...

an Amish audience (though perhaps a Mennonite audience):

Remarks by the President in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Lapp Electrical Service, Inc. Smoketown, Pennsylvania 3:16 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: ... But we drove through this beautiful countryside and saw thousands of your fellow citizens there. They were so warm and gracious in their hospitality. I'm sorry they're all not here so I can thank them in person. Hopefully, somebody is recording this on a TV camera, so they'll hear my thanks ... We've got a website, georgewbush.com, which is a place where you can sign up and get some marching orders and gives you something to do if you're interested in helping the campaign ... I don't know if you remember, but we used to have on our TV screens, "March to War," and if you're a small business owner or a big business owner, when you're thinking you're marching to war, there's a sense of uncertainty with that ... But lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit is running up the cost of medicine and it's running doctors out of practice ... We need to modernize our electricity grids if we expect to stay competitive ... We're very dependent on foreign sources of oil and natural gas ... Community colleges are available, they're affordable, and the best thing of all is they're flexible ...

"Why don't the Amish use electricity?"
"Amish people interpret linking with electrical wires as a connection with the world - and the Bible tells them they are not to be "conformed to the world." (Romans 12:2) In 1919 the Amish leaders agreed that connecting to power lines would not be in the best interest of the Amish community. They did not make this decision because they thought electricity was evil in itself, but because easy access to it could lead to many temptations and the deterioration of church and family life.
<snip>
"Why do Old Order Amish not like having their pictures taken?"
"Old Order Amish and Mennonites forbid photography of their people, and their objection is based on the second commandment, Exodus 20:4: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"."
<snip>
"Why are Amish schools different?"
"School for Old Order Amish and Mennonites is only a part of the learning necessary for preparation for the adult world. Children have formal schooling in one-room schools to 8th grade and then have a structured learning program supervised by their parents. Classes in the one-room Amish schools are conducted in English, and the children learn English when they go to school. The teachers are Amish and they have no more than an eighth grade education themselves. When the landmark United States Supreme Court decision of 1972 gave exemption for Amish and related groups from state compulsory attendance laws beyond the eighth grade, Chief Justice Burger wrote: "it is neither fair nor correct to suggest that the Amish are opposed to education beyond the eighth grade level. What this record shows is that they are opposed to conventional formal education of the type provided by a certified high school because it comes at the child's crucial adolescent period of religious development."
<snip>
"Both Amish and Mennonites are committed to a lifestyle of peace and non-violence"

He told them about his website? The Amish? He told them about medical lawsuits? The Amish--who mostly don't have insurance and pay for everything with what they've got?

Geez Louise, where were his handlers? At least the SS ate well . . .

72. Did he sign the Amish kids up for service?

He's getting real desperate for votes.

Is her pronouncing Amish AAAmish?

[jdonaldball]

77. The most disgusting thing is NOT his remark about God.

I'm surprised by how few critics (so far) have not yet picked up on the most offensive, insane thing here. It's not the remark about God speaking to him.
The worst thing is that a war criminal desecrated the homeland of the most consistently, truly pacifist community in all of American history. (No offense to other pacifists here, but the Amish are extraordinary even among pacifists.)
I'm going to be ill.
You can't make this shit up.

79. their hats???/

Did he get one? R we going 2 B treated 2 squatter dressed up as Amish next?

I didn't think the Amish voted.

84. aaarrrggghhh

OK, I still think he would be better off thinking he was Napoleon. He could wear one of those cool hats since he likes to play dress up.
2) why were Amish at an electric company?
3) the electric company is toast because it seems every time he talks at some company it shuts down.
4) beware false prophets.

[bluedog]

86. 1 dangerous man

he thinks God speaks through him..he must think hes a disciple of the Lord.if he thinks that he should be called by his true name Judas......as Judas betrayed Jesus and bush have betrayed the American people with his lies......

87. This thread is dying for some smart-ass comment from me

88. "I trust God speaks through me"

He would have been burned at the stake in Salem for being a heretic and a witch.

Now false prophets are loved by the Religious Right. Where did we go wrong as a culture???

[MarinCoUSA]

89. AND THE AMISH ARE PACIFISTS! Heres what they're thinking.

Looks like a photo op for use to fool the "English" (Amish for someone who is not Amish) that he connects with "real Americans".

Sure would like to be a fly on the insides of their heads

"What is he doing here, warmonger"
"Go away"
"Why does he send young men to die in war?"
"Doesn't look like he's ever worked a day in his life."

[bluedog]

90. I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.’’

this statement makes me think......If God speaks through bush........and bush is a known liar and flip floppper....in the end bush is saying that God is a liar(?) God is the blame for the Iraq Invasion? God is the blame for our country(?).. as God speaks through him!!!!!
