October 23, 2004—Many people are getting in touch with me asking about what I see, what I know, and why as a Conservative Christian Republican I am not backing Bush-Cheney and would not vote for them at gun point.

I have been telling Conservative Christians that who should be howling at the top of their lungs is not the Liberal Left, it is the Far Right Christian Conservatives for they are being lied to, seduced and misled even more so than the Liberal Left. They are being seduced into fascism and that is not Christianity.

Christians are admonished in the Bible to be leery of new prophets for all prophecy ended with the coming of Christ the Messiah. In the Book of James we are warned of the evil that comes from the mouths of men. James 3:5-6: "Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."

1. I used to teach AP Psychology; you are right.
This is also demonstrated in that little detail about No Child Left Behind: NO REQUIREMENTS FOR SOCIAL STUDIES!!!!

Amerika! Be afraid anyone else.

11. Social Studies Is Of Paramount Importance
I am reminded that I really hated Social Studies in my early grade school, but later came to see its importance. And recognize its paramount importance especially now.

It helps to understand the connection between a school subject and the real world, and especially how we are affected personally.

8. Not retarded, tactical.
I've been doing considerable thinking as to who they are going to have to follow this mess. Think of the incredible (incredulous) things that they have made law. The 'economic stimulus bill', which has all but given our children's blood to line their billionaire pockets. The first four years, alone, have done tremendous damage to our economy...and we could spend a lifetime discussing the gains that they have made in invading Iraq, and the subsequent damage that their warmongering has caused us---I can't even begin to imagine the emotions of the families of our service person's war dead & injured.

That is just the first four...second four coming up.

But I strongly feel that they will run a pro-choice, moderate repub to counterbalance the distaste that most people will have after eight years of their raping, pillaging, plundering etc.

I keep hearing McCain & Gulianno as their top picks. I tend to believe that they will *insert* someone who is perceived to be the antishrub but who is the same puppet material.

9. if the democrats will get mouthy both those choices are weak
but those men have lots of dirt. no one will forget the man that had bush spread the most disgusting trash on him, mccain a soldier knowing bush's error in the war and mistreatment of soldiers, yet mccain hugging bush on the campaign trail. and gulianno has more trash and dirt on him. people will be sick of the dirt of the repug, and both these men are neck deep

i dont think people will be able to stomach any repug

5. I would love to believe this is the beginning of a split
or a complete decimation of the so-called "Christian conservative" right.

7. Yes they do meet the criteria for a Cult
Some of these people will never be able to break out of the Cult.

Just watch what the Cult leaders do to their own who try to think on their own and vote the will of the people who vote for them.

Also have you noticed how quickly the cult members repeat the newest reasons for invading Iraq.

bushie is their god/cult leader. He speaks to their god --
