A Freshman at Falwell's Liberty University arrested w/bombs...
Edited on Tue May-22-07 06:50 PM by rasputin1952
LYNCHBURG, Virginia (CNN) -- A first-year Liberty University student was arrested in what police said was a plot to detonate explosive devices Tuesday, the day of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's funeral.

Mark David Uhl's intended target is unknown, authorities said.

ABC News was reporting the youth told authorities he had made the bombs -- which were found in his car -- to stop protesters from disrupting Falwell's funeral.

6. And yet according to many, Democrats should extend an olive branch to these people
Keep the psychos out of our "big tent," please.

18. No, no, that's not it at all. What we're supposed to do is throw the gays under the bus, ditch our
commitment to reproductive rights, and beat the crap out of the atheists with the olive branch until they shut up about all that "separation of church and state" nonsense.

22. I'll have to watch Hanitty and Colmes tonight
and watch as Hanitty proves he was a liberal, just like the guy at Va Tech. We'll actually he'll probably be covering this up as it wouldn't fit into his "all Muslims are evil and everyone else is good, except liberals" agenda.

10. I have to say, if one of these Christian Nutjobs is determined to blow something up
I suppose I'd rather have it be Fred Phelps than a Planned Parenthood or a Gay Bar.

11. Like bombs won't disrupt the funeral...this is truly sad...his

12. Not necessarily. Falwell might have requested that the 1812 overture be played.
Then it would kind of be like the end of the movie "Caddyshack".

14. No 24/7 news cycle?
I really am surprised this wasn't all over the cable news. Even if they tried to make the kid a sympathetic figure, defending the good krischans against the evil libruls. Not a peep though, amazing.

19. * ...to stop protesters from disrupting Falwell's funeral.* ... That's funny.




As if a loud explosion and all the reslting mayhem wouldn't disrupt Falwell's funeral service.


Is this indicative of the type of genius that enrolls at this school? I love it.

21. Onward Christian Soldiers
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Refrain

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Refrain

What the saints established that I hold for true.
What the saints believèd, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold,
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

Refrain

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.

Refrain

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.

Refrain
