A false prophet and his lame duck

Shame is upon America. Caveat emptor, all of you who voted for Bush. Your regret will begin soon.

As I write this, the assault may have already begun on Falloujah. Expect a bloodbath. Bush has murdered an estimated 100,000 Iraqis. Maybe 10,000 more by Monday. That will just be lesson number one for you to learn about your new President: Lame Duck Bush.



What acts has Bush performed to outwardly show his faith? I know of none. He talks alot, but he is short on acts of compassion or mercy. George Walker Bush has, in his capacity as President, been directly responsible for truly unknown qualtities of torture, imprisonment, death and destruction. How dare he claim to follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth?

I hear him say he does a lot of praying. I used to do a lot of praying. I know what happens when you pray. Unless you're certifiably insane or on drugs, God does not engage you in conversation during your nightly prayer. Anyone who claims otherwise needs professional attention, or is a bald-faced liar and a false prophet.

When people talk directly to God, the experience changes an individual both inwardly and outwardly. Bush has never climed the mountain to talk to God, he has never spent weeks fasting in repentance, he has never sat in ashes covered in boils. He has never once talked of pounding swords into ploughshares, he has never once spoken of turning the other cheek, and he has never once hesitated to send someone to their death. This man has spoken with the devil, but he most certainly not ever spoken with God.

To hedge this bet, I must admit that bare-knuckling his sobriety probably gave him a near ecstatic experience, at the very least. But he shows no signs to prove he ever healed from his narcotic disease. In my own experience, just because someone went sober does not prove they are better.

Many sober folks still lie, cheat and steal to get their fix. The fix just changes. To truly have a healing experience, a complete spiritual cleansing must be followed by carefully refilling the self with new intentions and refocused attentions. The record shows us clearly where Bush's attentions are and what his intentions have amounted to: nothing good.

Shame on any good Christians who allowed themselves to be deceived by this wolf. His sheep's clothing has been threadbare for years, yet so many remain deceived. Your pennence is to tell everyone around you of your sin and your sorrow. And then you must join us in scorning him for his crimes.
