I'm serious, this mans delusional !...

[Acebass]

Bush also explained, in unusually stark terms, how his belief in God influences his foreign policy. "I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true," he said. "One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free.

"I believe liberty is universal. I believe people want to be free. And I know that democracies do not war with each other."

A new CNN poll released today shows Bush with his lowest approval rating in any poll so far, at 32%.

1. Looks like a gambler--

chasing his losses. Gee, if I throw some religious stuff out there, maybe I'll snag some opinion poll points.

[wordpix2]

2. friggin idiotson needs to see Frontline's "Inside the Insurgency" so

the ass might get a grasp of what's going on there. You're right, * is delusional. We MUST get control of Congress this year before the ME blows up completely into WWIII.

3. What a scary article. He is so out of touch.

[Acebass]

13. The man scares me with this talk...n/t

[saltpoint]

4. But he may be alienating voters who believe in the Almighty but

who believe freedom is a selfish demand of a very few bad apples like, well, anyone who offers dissenting opinion from the Bush administration.

Plus, it might embarrass the South Dakota legislature.

6. I know some people like Bush. They drive me crazy. They are ...

selfish, rude, arrogant and intolerant.

They don't let their kids go trick or treating because it's a "pagan holiday", they say.

Unfortunately, their daughter is my daughter's best friend.

[saltpoint]

7. A family like the one you describe lives kittywampus from my sister.

No Hallowe'en. They consider it an expression of "The Occult," whatever the hell that is.

When neighborhood kids come trick-or-treating, this household drops little comic-book brochures with messages about salvation on them.

Unbelievable.

[wake.up.america]

11. What does kittywampus mean? My English is not the best.

[saltpoint]

12. catty-cornered. diagonally opposite.

I believe it is a slang colloquial term, so it might not be in any dictionary.

[Acebass]

14. It ain't good...believe me...n/t

[wake.up.america]

16. Thank you.

17. Kitty-wampus? You must tell me what state you first heard this in!

I lived in south Florida for 30 years, in Boston, Mass. for 28 years, and a couple of years in Portland, Oregon.

Spent 35 years in broadcasting, much of it in talk radio.

Never heard that word before!

"As an adjective meaning 'askew', catawampus is first recorded in the 1850s, and is in widespread use in all parts of the United States with the exception of the Northeast. In the adverbial sense 'diagonally', it dates to the turn of this century and is chiefly found in the Midlands and the South."

[saltpoint]

18. Yep, that's the one. I first heard it in the plains near Reeder, North

Dakota, but it's around here and there, even nowadays, in Ohio, Indiana, and Illlinois, especially where the soybean fields and cornfields roll out of very small bergs.

The dirt roads in some of those rural counties do not all go in a straight line. They "lie skewhunky." (They twist ad curve and double-back.)

[kestrel91316]

19. Well, Samhain IS a time-honored pagan holiday..........

I find it a bit offensive for Christians to be celebrating it (for those who do). It smacks of hypocrisy, to say the least.

Not that I have any problem with kids trick-or-treating, and the whole candy thing...........

[TahitiNut]

5. "democracies do not war with each other"?

For a history major, he's beneath contempt. (Well ... he's beneath contempt on any basis, but)

There was a little skirmish between two 'democracies' some time around 1861-1865 called the American Civil War, or the War Between The States, in which about 700,000 Americans were killed. I guess civil wars don't count? Maybe that's why he's ignoring the tens of thousands of Iraqi deaths under the US occupation.

8. Dubya's a bit lax on all that book-learnin', Tahiti Nut.

Never saw much use in it.

College cheerleadin', now that's another story. Lotsa good partyin' and plenty of zip powder in the kitchen to snort up your nose.

9. make war, at war, but do not war? Oh, that's right he's the decider

with half a brain.

[Ksec]

10. so God told him to lie and cherrypick intelligence to get a war going..

Man, thats pretty awful. I dont know who God is but Ive always heard he was on the good side .

15. Here's what God thinks...

22. Busholini is either a fraud or a Nutcase.

Democracy and God

GW Bush keeps saying the Freedom and Democracy is a gift from the Almighty. It is America's duty to spread Democracy.

"Freedom is not this country's gift to the world. Freedom is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman in this world. And, as the greatest power on the face of the earth, we have an obligation" to carry out the Lord's mission." GW Bush


'I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.' GW Bush

GW Bush made this god up because there is no such god in the bible. The one in the bible is a jealous, vengeful god that demands complete obedience and loyalty. This god does not grant freedom to human beings but demands servatude.The god in the bible is a war god and that part of god seems to suit GW Bush just fine.

[Acebass]

23. Nut case about sums it up...

[davekriss]

24. Nutcase? Definately. Poor understanding of Christianity?

Very definately. It's nice to know Bush believes waging illegal wars that result in the slaughter of tens of thousands of non-combatants, including women and children, the aged and the ill, will lead to a freedom that makes the "Almighty" proud. They truly are liberated and free, those dead ripped burned severed bodies of our victims ... they're liberated from the yoke of earthly life!

Christ said that the truth will set us free. But it's important to understand what this "freedom" is: It is freedom from the heavy yoke of sin, of unescapable entanglement in actions and beliefs that lead to strife, misery, illness, death, and destruction -- simply, a freedom from "sin". The Christian, through the saving Grace of Jesus Christ, is free to sin no more. We're free to put down our heavy yokes, tied to an ever falling angry and resentful Angel, and instead take on His yoke for it is light and easy and joyful. Christ came not to punish, but so that we could have life more abundant, free from the weighty and stifling blackness of strife, lies, lust, envy, murder, greed, and worse.

Bushboy's "freedom" and "libery" -- under the smirk, he knows he works for the opposite of Christian freedom; Bush refers to the freedom of the master to exploit the slave, to limit the "free" choices of the latter to just those actions that enhance or at least don't degrade the advantaged position of the former. The flip side of the "free" coins minted by Bush is oppression, the oppression of everyone not Bush or part of his Base, oppression enforced by bullets and bombs and gag orders and Patriot Acts and false flag operations and illegal wiretaps and outing patriots like Plame and, well, add your own dozen sins committed with the intent to destroy and control.

We will know them by there fruits. Christ said. Bush is clearly aligned to that aforementioned angry and resentful Angel who screams in continuous frustration, pained by constant anger and grief, eaten alive by guilt and regret, who without relief desparately tries to pull down all that reminds him of the light, of grace and joy, of righteousness and perfect justice. Bush appears more a demon than a man of God, but that is for God to judge.
