Does he have the right to turn me Christian?

Well, maybe. According to the Baltimore Sun today, our President is using our taxes to fund "faith-based-initiatives." That's pretty fucking arrogant.

Which faith, though? Muslim? Oh, Allah, no. It seems to me he more wants to stamp out that religion all together? Buddhism? As if Buddhists were even real...what about Hindu? Lol! Right? Thousands of Gods? HA! No, no, God is the only God. And Jesus...and the Holy Spirit...and the Holy Ghost...and all the Saints. And that's it.

Now, seriously. Why are we funding faith-based initiatives if the initiatives are only based on the one faith? Because the first Amendment means nothing to this presidency.

I believe the only reason he is using the faithful Americans of this country, the Christian religion as an excuse to do un-Christian things, is because of the success his party has had in controlling the people through Christianity. It is certainly not because of his Christian ideals...as far as a Christian goes, I can't see that George W. Bush is a Christian at all except that he says he is all the time.

So why on earth would I back (pay for) faith-based initiatives when I have no proof of this man's faith at all? His lawyers are asking the supreme court today to shield these programs from any legal action. Christian? He's breaking the A-#1 rule this country was based on...freedom of religion. This is the country that did NOT want to pay taxes to England nor be forced into Catholocism or Protestantism (depending on what kind of King/Queen was in power at the time...remember the story of Lady Jane Grey?), but yet the Bush Administration wants to fund only programs that serve our children and underpriveleged in a Christian-based manner? What about people who do not believe that? Isn't this the land of the free? Only if you're a Christian, I guess, but the world of Christianity right now serves absolutely no purpose in my life.

Here are some images of Bush being Christian:




And to remind Christians of the Beatitudes (let me know if I'm off base here, but Bush and his initiatives do not seem to jive with Christ's teachings):

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall possess the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Faith-based inititaves? I haven't seen any such thing with this Presidency.

Fuckin' Idiot

Yup. I said fuckin' IDIOT!

Run for the hills mutha fucka!

The gays are coming! The gays are coming!!!!


ADDENDUM:

So, yes, you're flamboyant friend, Skeezmo here to add to Meatmouth's interesting submission.

Argument #1: How can there be an argument when the first argument in this article is based on a William Kristol magazine article (do not forget, Mr. Kristol's funding came partially from Robert Kagan who co-founded the Project for a New American Century, formerly "Project for a Republican America" which, let's not forget, wrote a lashing letter to Bill Clinton urging war in Iraq to (and I quote) "protect our vital interests in the Gulf." Yep. I said, Bill Clinton. The letter was written in 1998, 4 years before the current war in Iraq was being considered as indirect retaliation for 9/11 because Iraq had "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

Mr. Kristol's magazine, "Weekly Standard" is anything, but standard. It is a mouthpiece for the religious republican front/movement and advocates spreading Christian initiatives all over the world as a force for "democracy," an ironic and tyrannical endeavor. He is funded by and works closely with our friend Rupert Murdoch, who you may know as the owner of Fox News, an extremely, unapologetic "News" station leaning 100% right (neo-conservative republican) and makes no bones about it.

Rupert, a friend and supporter of Pat Robertson's run for President in 88, supported and contributed to both of George W. Bush's Presidential runs and ALL 175 of Murdoch's publications editorialized in favor of the war in Iraq in 2003. Fair and balanced?

Perhaps before reading more on this organization's intent and reasoning for existence (the destruction of marriage in Scandinavia), perhaps looking elsewhere, like here The Slate 2004, or here UCLA School of Law or here Media Matters where Fred Barnes denies the Weekly Standard ever said such a thing. Ha.

If you'd like to read more about Fred Barnes, please go here Wiki Fred Barnes. Here are some fun quotes by Fred Barnes to inspire us all to think like him and listen to his gay-hating rhetoric with serious focus and concentration:

"The war was the hard part. The hard part was putting together a coalition, getting 300,000 troops over there and all their equipment and winning. And it gets easier. I mean, setting up a democracy is hard, but it is not as hard as winning a war." - 4/10/03

"WE NOW KNOW WHY the Bush administration hasn't made the capture of Osama bin Laden a paramount goal of the war on terror. Emphasis on bin Laden doesn't fit with the administration's strategy for combating terrorism." - 9/13/06

How about this gem, "President Bush operates in Washington like the head of a small occupying army of insurgents, an elected band of brothers (and quite a few sisters) on a mission. He's an alien in the realm of the governing class, given a green card by voters." - 11/23/04

I really see no reason to trust anything on Meatmouth's aforementioned site. The gays are coming?! OK. Cool. Let's party.

Googled "gay ruin marriage" for this one, he, he, he
