"Leading Christian and Jewish conservatives warned the Bush administration this week not to use the dramatic capture of Saddam Hussein as the launch pad for new U.S. initiatives on the Israeli-Palestinian front."

1. Don't screw up our front row seat to Armegeddon

We don't want peace. We want war! The true heart of the religious right.

"By their fruit you shall know them"

Merry Christmas.

2. Perfect comment.

3. Sadly, Junior isn't really very far right

Hear me out. It's scary, but there are many people and groups WAY more culturally, religiously, socially, policically and economically to the right of him and his coterie. Talk about a sobering thought.

Much as we can comfort ourselves that they'll join in in lockstep with the Junta when the time comes, we can't forget that they can really put the screws on and drag them farther and farther to the promised land when they feel like it.

Something inside of me just can't quite believe that people actually believe in that kind of stuff, and yet it's true. It's so true that they kill themselves for it. Incredible. I splutter at the thought of it all.

Cain't have no rapture without a rupture, ya know...

4. Gary Bauer? OMG, what next..? Wasn't he the guy buried under flapjacks?

13. PNAC signatory....real whacko.

He's in charge of keeping the Christian right supplied with their hypnotic kool-aid.

[hatrack]

14. Come, we seek out maple syrup!

What I don't understand is how adults can go about dedicating their lives to a bad dream based on bad allegory.

Gary Bauer - what a contemptible little doorknob of a man.

8. It's not like junior is trying to stop those who are far right

At best he's so incompetent that he isn't aware of the polical spectrum.

Practically, his exact policial color is irrelevant. What matters is that he -is- working with the neocons, fundies, multi-nationals.
What also matters is that he's replacable; he's just a willing frontman. And it's trivial to make any willing frontman a hero in the minds of the people, so that they will accept him as the frontman.

9. I agree, and often refer to him as B*usboy, for that very reason...n/t

10. True. Bush is more political whore and PNAC puppet than Reich winger.

But his commitment to being a political whore includes being a whore at times for the Reich wing fundamentalists.

7. Let's tell it straight.

Whenever a Republican says "Nobody wants war, but..." I always wonder how much of their own malarkey they actually believe. Let's face it; about half of this country is just plain bloodthirsty.

5. The masters show the puppet its place

near the feeding tube. Bush might think he an almighty superhuman, but in fact he is a regular doll led by the will of his masters, the zionists.

6. Why are so called

"Christians" running our Country's foreign policy anyways?

[lumpy]

11. Because this is a Judeo-Christian nation

didn't ya' know? Just ask any of those TV preachers or their Congressional followers who have no problem declaring that on the floor of the House.

[truthspeaker]

12. not only are we a Judeo-Christian nation (according to them)

the Christianity of this nation is supposedly their particular brand, not one of those other Christian denominations that speaks out against war, imperialism, greed, etc.
