Is it time to get excited? I can't help the way I feel. For the first time in my Christian walk, I have no doubts that the day of the Lords appearing is upon us. I have never felt this way before, I have a joy that bubbles up every-time I think of him, for I know this is truly the time I have waited for so long. Am I alone in feeling guilty about the human suffering like my joy at his appearing some how fuels the evil I see everywhere. If it were not for the souls that hang in the balance and the horror that stalks man daily on this earth, my joy would be complete. For those of us who await his arrival know, somehow we just know it won't be long now, the Bridegroom cometh rather man is ready are not.

Then there's this little gem after a few posts declaring how great it is that the region is quickly slipping into regional conflict:

Lets all cheer for Jesus.

We are glad that some can turn death into Rapture Porn.

...From Atrios, looks like Tom DeLay is a wimp:

DeLay said he is likely to leave by the end of May, depending on the Congressional schedule and finishing his work on a couple of issues. He said he will change his legal residence to his condominium in Alexandria, Va., from his modest two-story home on a golf course here in the 22nd District of Texas. "I become ineligible to run for election if I'm not a resident of the state of Texas," he said, turning election law to his purposes for perhaps on last time. State Republican officials will then be able to name another Republican candidate to face Democrat Nick Lampson, a former House members who lost his seat in a redistricting engineered by DeLay.

In the end, this is good for America, but if only the Bugman had stayed on longer to get trounced in the general election... One can at least dream, right?

Fools! You can't operate the strings from the sideline!

In lieu of fulfilling their pledge to discover the scope of the Administration's warrantless eavesdropping on Americans, Sens. Hagel and Snowe decided instead that they would support legislation which would create a 7-member Subcommittee (4 Republicans and 3 Democrats) to which the Administration is required to report all warrantless eavesdropping activities...
...
What the legislation does, on its face, is replace FISA judges with Republican Senators in approving the government's eavesdropping activities. Whereas the country agreed to a framework 30 years ago which allowed the government to eavesdrop on Americans only if the Government persuaded a FISA judge that such eavesdropping was warranted, this proposed legislation eliminates that requirement and allows warrantless eavesdropping as long as 4 Republican Senators agree with the White House that such actions are warranted.

Just remember what happened: the President and the administration broke the law, and then some so-called moderate Republicans started squawking about this and that, then once the White House brought them in line, the Republican Senate decided it was better to giveaway all oversight power to the Executive.

Personally, I can't believe it took this long. I guess when he declared that only Christians and Jews should be in the government was no big deal.
Or when he called Episcopalians, Presbyterians and the Methodists the antichrist.
Or when he compared liberal american's to Nazi Germany.
Or that gays want to destroy Christians.
Or his call for restricted democracy to protect the white minority in South Africa.
Or when he accused feminist of being anti-family socialist who encourage women to "leave their husbands, kill their children, practice wiftcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
Or when he accused Planned Parenthood of "teaching are kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism-everything that the Bible condemns"
Or when he said the role of a married woman is to accept that the man, her husband, is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife.
Or when he said that atheists "should not be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots"
Or his belief that Congress can simply ignore the Supreme Court; "They can ignore a Supreme Court ruling if they so choose."
Or his belief that the Constitution does not mention the separation of church and state. It's all a lie of the left.
Or his goal to bring back God and the Bible into public schools to drive out secular humanism.
Or his claim that his goal is a Christian nation and that they have a Biblical duty to "conquer this country."
Or when he said that many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were homosexuals.
Or when he called for the end of Halloween.
And finally his call for guerilla warfare.

You can find all these quotes and many more at THE ANTI-PAT ROBERTSON / CHRISTIAN COALITION SITE. Hats off to them and their research!

This year Ann Coulter decided to give her Oscar predictions. However, it's just another way for her to bash gays. I'm just warning you people...it's bad. You can go ahead and start the bath water because you're going to feel real dirty (and I don't mean in the diirtay kind of way).

It amazes me how much these people focus their energy on gay people. In all their travels, have they never actually met a homosexual? Is that possible? I'm telling you, Ann thinks more about gays than Boy George and George Micheal combined.

In a contest between Americans' knowledge of "The Simpsons" and what they know about the First Amendment, Bart and Homer win hands down.

The study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22% of Americans could name all five Simpson family members, compared with just 1 in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms.

This shouldn't be too surprising and this really shouldn't bother anyone. Seriously, the Simpson's have been on air for seventeen years! Thanks to reruns, it's been on every day for the past ten years. Even a casual fan has seen many episodes more than once. When was the last time you we're forced to look at the Constitution, college?

We're Americans, we watch TV. My grandmother could probably tell you a lot about forensic evidence thanks to CSI. Most of my knowledge of the legal process comes from watching 'Law & Order' reruns on TNT.

Yes, people should know about that little doc call the Constitution. But in reality, I would be more concerned if you couldn't name any members of the Simpson's family. That would be sad.

Answer: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie - Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition.

Four years after we 'won' the war in Afghanistan, I have to ask, why does our President only make 'surprise' visits? I mean seriously, despite all the "success" in both Afghanistan and of course Iraq, Bush Inc. can only do surprise visits, dare I say, shock and awe photo ops with the troops. He doesn't make surprise visits to Germany, Japan, Bosnia or any other place U.S. troops are located. Based on Bush Inc. positive comments about both these countries, Bush to this day still can't make an announce visit to either country. Sad.

That's the problem with this war President...he's not very good at it.

The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high...

Also

...Just 18 percent said they had a favorable view of the vice president, down from 23 percent in January.

Jesus, how awful do you have to be to have only 18 percent of the population like you?

Well, at least he's not as unpopular as Nixon:

Bush's low job approval is far below that of some of his two-term predecessors at this point in their second terms. In November 1985, President Reagan had a 65 percent approval rating, and Bill Clinton's job approval in November 1997 was 57 percent. Bush's rating is higher than Richard Nixon's was at the same point in his administration.

We think this is perfect time for the President to roll out that Health Care Savings Account plan, or perhaps to try out ending Social Security again. This is just too good.

The real question is when will the President's staff start deserting him for potential successors? That will be fun to watch.

America's largest companies expect the federal government to pay them about $4 billion over the next four years to help keep their retiree health plans alive at a time when such benefits are increasingly on the chopping block, according to a new study by Credit Suisse First Boston.

The money is due to start flowing to employers this month as part of Medicare's new prescription drug benefit. When Congress authorized the Medicare drug benefit, it also agreed to start subsidizing the drug component of employers' retiree health plans, to keep them from shifting their retirees into the government program.

Just remember: the Bush administration has no problem putting business on the dole, but your grandma and you and your kids netter fucking get a job. And the President thinks you already have too much health care anyway, so don't worry about preventative care.

Losers.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Feb. 23) - Gunmen shot dead 47 civilians and left their bodies in a ditch near Baghdad Thursday as militia battles and sectarian reprisals followed the bombing of a sacred Shiite shrine. Sunni Arabs suspended their participation in talks on a new government. At least 47 other bodies were found scattered across Iraq, many of them shot execution-style and dumped in Shiite-dominated parts of Baghdad.

Bush wanted this war and now he's got it. Even Billy O'Reilly wants to cut and run. Maybe both Bush and Billy should have listened to Murtha a long, long time ago.

So, did "One Eye Dick" actually shoot Mr. Whittington from 30 yards? As this video show, probably not. At 30 yards, the birdshot doesn't even go through two light layers of clothing. We don't understand why some entrepreneurial producer didn't go all CSI on this story - ballistics tests can't be that expensive.

But we guess that lying would be a natural tendency for the Vice President - especially when he shoots a 78 year old man... in the face.

Man, must be nice to be able to shoot someone - in the face and then have the victim apologize for being shot - in the face! As if Whittington had unwittingly stepped into the path of the Vice President's bullets.

"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this week," Whittington said.

Right...
