Bryan Fischer: The troops died for NOTHING (Because they didn't make Iraq a Christian theocracy)
Edited on Thu Aug-19-10 11:02 AM by ck4829
Just how anti-Muslim is the AFA's Bryan Fischer?

So anti-Muslim that he is now claiming that the entire Iraq war was an epic failure and complete waste of American time, money, and lives because we did not seek to convert the entire country to Christianity.

Fischer says that the only thing that kept Iraq functioning under Saddam Hussein was that "Christians to help him run the country (because) Christians were the only decent, trustworthy, honest people he could find." When Hussein was toppled, it left Iraq in the hands of Muslims and "Islam simply doesn’t produce men with the kind of character and integrity needed to run a country."

Fischer says America has offended God by creating a new Islamic Republic in Iraq which, "without the stabilizing values and presence of the Prince of Peace," will ultimately collapse.

Therefore, all of our soldiers have died for nothing.

Random liberal: The troops in Iraq who died, they died for nothing!

How quickly would that have made Fox News?

2. Christian Conservative Leader (Bryan Fischer) Calls for No More Mosques in U.S. - period


" Permits should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the United States of America, let alone the monstrosity planned for Ground Zero," Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association wrote this week on the AFA website. "This is for one simple reason: each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government."

Fischer is the AFA's director of Issue Analysis for Government and Public Policy. The AFA is a conservative Christian group that been in the news before for taking a number of extreme positions -- for instance, earlier this year Fischer called for Tilikum, the SeaWorld orca that thrashed its trainer to death, to be killed according to Biblical rules. In 2005, the AFA finally ended its boycott of Disney, which it kept of for nine years to protest the company's erosion of moral values.

The AFA operates nearly 200 radio stations across the country under the American Family Radio banner and sometimes features congressmen on its shows. Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), for instance, were recent guests of one show. Fischer is listed as an invited speaker at the Values Voter Summit next month, along with Rep. Michele Bachmann, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, among others.

4. Damn, and we had our marching orders from Gen. Ann Coulter herself
We invaded Iraq, killed its leaders, but failed utterly to convert them to Christianity at gunpoint. Not just a fail, but a massive fail. I certainly hope Gen. Coulter gets on this inability to see the mission through, and sets things to right. And not just right, but far right.

8. Well, the Crusades generally failed in their expressed goals.
And the perpetrators nearly a thousand years ago were likely more competent than the present crew. ;-)

10. More competent? Not really.
At least US troops were never forced to avoid starvation by resorting to cannibalism.

6. Like hell! Everyone of the deaths was worth a fortune to Bush and
Cheney's people. Add up what the private and defense contractors and everyone else that made millions off the war ended up raking in. Then divide that by how many of our troops were murdered by the Bush administration in Iraq. The profit per dead soldier is way more than the wealthy Republicans usually think one of the lower classes life is worth.

7. So Hussein's regime was highlighted by Xtian decency, trustworthiness, and honesty?
Well, I guess this does underline the type of Xtianity represented by Fischer.

And this must make Dubya and Darth Cheney the enemies of Xtianity in Fischer's book. ;-)

11. Surely he realized that was never, ever, EVER going to happen, right?
Oh wait . .. he didn't.

Holy sheepshit, I can't believe anyone's THAT fucking delusional to believe that a mili'try invasion was going to change thousands of years of steadfast belief and tradition. I mean, if it were just that easy, don't you think this would have been done YEARS ago? Amazing.

It was all about the Texas Tea, shitbags. Anyone who believes otherwise . . . is a deluded fuck. Just like Big Bry.
