GQ Magazine Reveals Bush's Biblical Prophecy

My friend Alan Kishbaugh sent this to me. Although I make an effort to accept other's beliefs when it comes to religion, like most Americans I want a division of church and state.

I'm sorry to say that as hard as I try, I find it extremely difficult to understand how people today see the Bible as "the word of God." He's not my god, nor a large proportion of other Americans. A lot of church going folks have managed to deal with their version of a more modern God successfully. The problem is with the evangelicals that believe in the Bible literally like Bush Jr. In my worst nightmare, I could not have imagined a more dangerous president. Like Alan said, Bush Jr. was a bigger nut case than we knew." Now the pitiful Republicans want to blame Obama for the mess we're in.

The revelation this month in GQ Magazine that Donald Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary embellished top-secret wartime memos with quotations from the Bible prompts a question. Why did he believe he could influence President Bush by that means?

The answer may lie in an alarming story about George Bush's Christian millenarian beliefs that has yet to come to light.

Usually, I try to keep things light on the boards or limited to debates about sexual politics but I froze when I read this stat: Child hunger IN THE US rose 50% in 2007.  More than 700,000 children when hungry.

WTF?  Record profits for Exxon Mobil....Halliburton...Wall Street execs...all on the backs on our children.  This isn't fucking Africa where decades of civil war over land rich with resource has pushed so many into poverty.  This isn't Iraq or Afganistan where war has ravaged the country forcing children into prostitution to feed their families.

I was so impressed with what it took for a woman to walk out on that stage to make a citizen's arrest...I was overwhelmed.  She's part of Code Pink (www.codepinkdc.blogspot.com).  Carlin and I want to get in touch with those fabulous women and the cuffor Janice Boneparth.
