The brotherhood organazation had members that were nazi's. I never said it was in 1832. Just a little misunderstanding. </font>[/QUOTE]I quoted you word for word. You mistyped evidently when you typed founding fathers, because the organization of Skull and Bones dates from the early 19th century.Originally posted by Speed Gracer:
</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Also, the Skull and Bones was founded in 1832 so that it is impossible that it was founded by nazis as you charged in your statement, "Skull and Bones founding father organaztion's most prominent members were Nazis." That is just absurd that people in 1832 were nazis 100 years before there was a nazi party.
1941, hmmmmmm. Let me ask you if you use a Christmas tree, since it originated from pagans who sacrificed babies (particularly girls) on a tree during the harvest festivals.Originally posted by Speed Gracer:

Hey nobody is perfect Phillip. Even those guys out at the grove that dress up like dark lords and perform rituals at the foot of a forty foot tall Babylonian or Egyption deity in the middle of the woods every summer.</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Phillip:

When I said it was a country-club, I didn't mean a regular country club, but it is just a ritzy place for the rich to hang out and tout their successes. Yes, probably a lot of things occur that shouldn't, but I believe that is up to the individual member. I can join a country-club and choose to run with the crowd that sits in the bar and gets wasted every night--or play golf and get some exercise in the pool.
It IS what you make of it. Yes, maybe the major problem is vanity; but I'm certainly not going to judge Bush for every disgression he makes when I too am a sinner and if it wasn't for the blood of my savior, Jesus Christ, God's Son, then I would be convicted to hell also. </font>
Depends on which step in the pyramid power structure he has attained in either org I guess. Once you reach a certain point of enlightement you either dress up in dark robes and have rituals in Masonic halls, or you have them in the Tomb.Originally posted by Ben W:
Which would be worse, Bush being a member of the Skull and Bones, or Bush being a Freemason?
No idea. They both have alot in commen.Which would be worse, Bush being a member of the Skull and Bones, or Bush being a Freemason?
The one who is pro-choice. That was easy.would we rather put a president in office who supports freedom of choice on abortion.

And since it was started in 1832 or something like that I have never heard anyone say this before either: "Skull and Bones founding father organaztion's most prominent members were Nazis."
I think that that statement goes to the leftist elements of the Democrat Party and their longstanding attempt to smear US Senator Prescott Bush of Connecticut--Prescott Bush being the grandfather of the now President Bush. I think that the reason we never heard those charges in the 1950s from the Democrats is that they ran the government during World War II and they know that it is false. Also, Democrats in those days had a better sense of fair play. After all, George Herbert Walker Bush was a combat pilot during World War II and flew many missions. By the way, the Walker is for the current President's grandmother, who was from the family that started the Walker Cup.
I think that the nazi stuff is way over the top and has no business on a Baptist Board. The Bush family were devout Episcopalians until Dubya, who became a Methodist. Nazis are anti-Christ.
My advice to the younger Democrats is to remember that your parents did not engage in this sort of false smear campaign, and they were eyewitnesses to the events.
Prescott Bush was a fine man. He authored the legislation that started the construction of the interstate highway system for Eisenhower, who saw how the German roads helped the movement of the German army during World War II.
There is hardly another family in America that has done more public service free of scandal than the Bush family has for the last 3 generations. They are hard-working, intelligent Protestants.
(It is hard not to compare them with the Kennedys, who made a lot of their money from the sale of alcohol and have had so many sex scandals that one has lost count.)
Source: CBSI spoke with about 100 members of Skull and Bones and they were members who were tired of the secrecy, and that's why they were willing to talk to me,” says Robbins. “But probably twice that number hung up on me, harassed me, or threatened me.”
Secret or not, Skull and Bones is as essential to Yale as the Whiffenpoofs, the tables down at a pub called Mory's, and the Yale mascot - that ever-slobbering bulldog.
Skull and Bones, with all its ritual and macabre relics, was founded in 1832 as a new world version of secret student societies that were common in Germany at the time. Since then, it has chosen or "tapped" only 15 senior students a year who become patriarchs when they graduate -- lifetime members of the ultimate old boys' club.
“Skull and Bones is so tiny. That's what makes this staggering,” says Robbins. “There are only 15 people a year, which means there are about 800 living members at any one time.”
But a lot of Bonesmen have gone on to positions of great power, which Robbins says is the main purpose of this secret society: to get as many members as possible into positions of power.
“They do have many individuals in influential positions,” says Robbins. “And that's why this is something that we need to know about.”
President Bush has tapped five fellow Bonesmen to join his administration. Most recently, he selected William Donaldson, Skull and Bones 1953, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Like the President, he's taken the Bones oath of silence.

Despite a lifetime of attempts to get inside, the best Rosenbaum could do was hide out on the ledge of a nearby building a few years ago to videotape a nocturnal initiation ceremony in the Tomb's courtyard.
“A woman holds a knife and pretends to slash the throat of another person lying down before them, and there's screaming and yelling at the neophytes,” he says.
Robbins says the cast of the initiation ritual is right out of Harry Potter meets Dracula: “There is a devil, a Don Quixote and a Pope who has one foot sheathed in a white monogrammed slipper resting on a stone skull. The initiates are led into the room one at a time. And once an initiate is inside, the Bonesmen shriek at him. Finally, the Bonesman is shoved to his knees in front of Don Quixote as the shrieking crowd falls silent. And Don Quixote lifts his sword and taps the Bonesman on his left shoulder and says, ‘By order of our order, I dub thee knight of Euloga.’"
It’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo, says Robbins, but it means a lot to the people who are in it.
“Prescott Bush, George W's grandfather, and a band of Bonesmen, robbed the grave of Geronimo, took the skull and some personal relics of the Apache chief and brought them back to the tomb,” says Robbins. “There is still a glass case, Bonesmen tell me, within the tomb that displays a skull that they all refer to as Geronimo.”
“The preoccupation with bones, mortality, with coffins, lying in coffins, standing around coffins, all this sort of thing I think is designed to give them the sense that, and it's very true, life is short,” says Rosenbaum. “You can spend it, if you have a privileged background, enjoying yourself, contributing nothing, or you can spend it making a contribution.”
Sadly, Christians in this country don't seem to care about anything other than if the candidate says they are "born again." Nothing else seems to matter, the evangelicals will fall in lock step like gaggles of geese.Would it matterto christians if he were say a member of the order of Elks?
