    You are right when you think about it. There really isn't anybody in office placing the most important issue of all that is occuring before God, the slaughtering of innocent souls, at the top of their priority list. Shouldn't pro-lifers in Congress be vocal about this at every public speaking opportunity?

    If the Supreme Court of Roe v Wade wouldn't have botched this decision so badly it wouldn't even be an issue for partys to take sides on for their own political gains. When the constitution writers said that the right to life was gauranteed to all they surely had no idea that someone a couple of hundred years later would be tearing babies apart in the wombs by the thousands each month and declare they are not human beings. What a sick decision.

    God Bless!

    Yes, and all Presidents.

    So what did Bush specifically do in office that has caused this for you?

    God Bless!

    About one person in five on this board still approves of Bush. Roughly one in three nationwide still like him.

    Who said Christians weren't intelligent? :laugh:

    We Christians are aliens on this earth. We are here to serve Jesus Christ and His Word. So in all we do we are to measure it with God's word and adjust our lives accordingly.

    Tell me what you see Bush doing that goes against the precepts outlined in the Word of God.

    Bush is not our sugar daddy. We have a Father in heaven that makes sure our needs are met and Bush is our brother in Christ. So if you could talk to Bush what is it that you would lovingly confront him on that he is doing that goes against God's Word.

    God bless!

    I think it will take about 15 yrs or so after he is out of office before we realize that he was one of our best Presidents. He is a man of integrity and convictions and he sticks to them. He isn't one of the majority of politicians who are so fickle and lacking in convictions that they will do anything to gain or hang onto power.
    I believe taking out Saddam was the right thing to do but I am not happy with the hand-tying of our troops that our politicians are doing. If we are going to fight this much needed war then we need to fight to win. If not allowed to fight to win then we need to get out and let the terrorists come to us on our soil, cuz that is exactly what will happen. Our military is serving as a target for the terrorists to focus their hatred upon. When that target is gone their hatred will still remain and lash out at America on its soil. Our military is much more capable of handing them than we or our kids in schools.
    I don't have a bright outlook for this broader war on terrorism. I don't see any way of bringing peace with these evil emenies without completely taking out pretty much the whole Muslim population --- so it looks to me like the Second Coming will have to remedy the problem in a very final way along with all problems. All we can do in the mean time is tread water and protect the lives of those who love peace. Peace is only possible when all parties are lovers of peace and will let others dwell in peace inspite of differences. These terrorists will never allow Israel or the U.S. to dwell in peace while they still draw breath.
    I believe the problem is much bigger, badder, and goes deeper than anyone is willing to admit.
    I believe Satan is completely behind this radical Muslim hatred of anything associtaed with the God of the Bible. They hate Israel most because Israel claims Abraham as the Father of their race and that Issac was the chosen son, not Ishmael. Israel is God's chosen people chosen to reveal the One True God to the world through, not Mohammad and his followers. This fact just gets Satan's panties all bunched up and he motivates his followers to carry out his attacks. America was founded on biblical principles and has been the most Christian nation on the planet sending out more missionaries and relief around the wolrld and this makes Satan steaming mad. Satan uses his willing followers to project his hatred toward God and His people and this won't stop until God stops it permanently. We can't nuke the Muslim world and still have a conscience but that is the only way we could have a chance of stopping these haters from hating and murdering. We will have to continue fighting as humane a war as possible until He comes, just to keep them somewhat under control.
    It is interesting in Ezekiel 38-39 that Iraq and Afganistan will not be with Russia when they attack Israel in the last days. Most of the rest of the Arab Mid-East is named siding with Russia and will be anihilated along with her when they do attack Israel. Maybe this is all so close that what we have done, or will do, in those two countries will cause them to not side with Satan at that time. 99% of the time, when God wants a job done on planet earth, He uses people and I believe He will use the U.S. and allies to take out this future evil army attacking His chosen people. God still plans on saving all Israel and it will happen. Israel will never be destroyed as a nation again and this promies gives me hope that we will be able to contain this present evil to a point.
    I am wondering what is more evil though --- those who are at the heart of this evil, or those politicians and their supporters who turn a blind eye to it and allow it in order to gain votes.
    Bush is doing the right thing, he just needs to get tougher on the terrorists and take the gloves off our military. Those who want to bring our troops home had better get it through their thick headed noggins that by doing so they would make our kids more of a target right here at home. I know it's a popular fad today to knock Bush and this war, but that's exactly what will direct this evil on the citizens of America. I think the liberals in America better grow up and face the fact that we ain't gonna get out of this problem by hiding our faces from it or running from it. The liberals do know this but they view being popular ( over being right ) as the tool to bring more power their way at this time. Power is what they crave and twisting the truth is how they obtain it from a very blind morally confused public.

    Hey!
    As a self-professed tree-hugging LIBERAL, I resent that remark.
    :laugh:

    Although I am sure I am going to regret asking this, have you been doing any skiing these past few weeks? I have a very good friend in Boulder, CO who says he has been spending his entire weekends on the slopes.

    Regards Bro. Curtis, wishing God's Blessings to you and your wonderful family,
    BiR (heading for the Great Smoky Mountains for a long weekend)
