How the Neo-Cons have broken EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 10 Commandments.
1) I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

The Neo-Cons have forsaken the God of Abraham, turning instead to the Gods of Big Oil, Greed, and the Multinational Corporation. The PNAC funded Neo-Cons, were so intent on using Iraq’s oil to destroy the OPEC cartel, that before they invaded Iraq, they called for the creation of a state-owned oil company that was favored by the United States oil industry. That failing miserably, their new Gods have forced them to go on a holy crusade in the Middle East.



2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

In this context, the term "in vain" actually means "in an irreverent or blasphemous manner." What can be more blasphemous, than when some Neo-Con war hawk states to the world, that by slaughtering thousands of civilians while they are stealing their oil and resources, that we are doing "Gods Work" in Iraq? What is more irreverent then stating that God is against some groups of people getting married, but God is OK with other groups getting married?



3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

Alabama Courthouse:


Also equally as disturbing, is their bizarre worship of flags. Both the American flag, where they are trying to introduce yet another constitutional amendment to reflect this strange fixation, and the old "stars and bars" where South Carolina fought tooth and nail to keep it flying over their capital for everyone to bow down to.



4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

On how many Sundays, have they ordered air strikes, and ground assaults in Iraq where people have been killed and maimed? On how many Sunday’s have they people met on golf courses to discuss how better to divvy up the money in our treasury amongst themselves and their sycophants? On how many Sundays have they launched propaganda assaults on local news shows to justify and glorify their hatred and greed?



5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.
Tom Delay cut off contact with his mother completely, after he pulled the plug on his father.



6. Thou shalt not kill.

There is not enough bandwidth on the internet to post how many times these evil bastards have broken this commandment. The thing is, it’s not actually the killing itself that gets my blood boiling about this heartless, morally bankrupt group. It’s the abject PRIDE that they take in it. Whether it’s George Bush mocking and making fun of a prisoner that he signed a death warrant on, or John Bolton pushing and intimidating the U.N. to give the U.S. permission to drop nukes on Iran, this disgusting fixation at killing people has moved past infuriating, to downright frightening.



7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Where do we start on this one? The same group that impeached a sitting President for a blow-job, is actually one of the worst offenders of this commandment. The list starts at Ronald Reagan who dumped Jane Wyman while cheating on her with several Hollywood starlets, to Henry Hyde, who broke up a family during a seven year adulterous affair, to Strom Thurmond who cheated on his fourth wife at the age of 88.



8. Thou shalt not steal.

Again, along with commandment number 6, there is not enough bandwidth on the internet to post how many times they have broken this commandment. How many billions have disappeared and unaccounted for in the black hole that is the Iraq war? How many Billions in pork barrel contracts to sycophantic cronies and lobbyists? How many TRILLIONS were given away to the military industrial complex to keep the wars and the slaughter going on year, after year, after bloody year?



9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

This is yet another commandment that they have broken constantly. Just turn on the TV, and watch a commercial for any Republican running for Senate or Congress if you really want a full, steaming mouthful of it. Again, like commandment 6, it’s not the lies, or the slander, or the manufactured wedge issues that get my blood boiling, but the abject PRIDE that they take in the all of it.



10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

To covet in this context, means “to feel inordinate desire for what belongs to another.” Used in a sentence, it would be “George Bush and the rest of the PNAC group really covets the oil in Iraq.” Another would be “Dick Cheney covets the oil in Iran, as well as its strategic location to build more permanent military bases.”


But hey, why bring this up to a fundmentalist Bush supporter?

1. Commandment #1, at least this full statement, is where God has to identify
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 01:02 PM by shain from kane
Himself to a group of people that are supposed to be monotheistic. And then the second sentence has to reiterate that there should be no other gods before him, when this is the one and only God. Remember, these are God's words inscribed directly on the tablets, so He could phrase them however He wanted.

You don't always see this more complete text when the Commandments are stated. The first sentence, in effect, limits that particular god by further defining Himself.

"I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

3. The 10 commandments and the consitution are meaningless
to these subhumans anyways.

I'm reminded of the Chef Aid episode of South Park. Where Chef goes bankrupt when he tries to sue a record producer for stealing his intellectual property, only to be countersued by the record label. The record producer, who has an obvious comb-over repeatedly says "I AM ABOVE THE LAW!!!!", only to have his comb over fall down and he puts it back in place with hair cream. That's the best description I can think of for the neocons.

5. They aren't above the law, and a lot of their supporters seem to have...
...forgotten that. Maybe if we rub it in their faces over and over again in their hypocrisy and lies, and put them to task about how a group that keeps using the name of God continues to break the commandments, they may start to slowly open their eyes.

7. I've pointed that out to W supporters and fundies many times...
Their heads explode at the mere thought.

It's hilarious, and most of them couldnt argue their way out of a paper bag, only spewing what Limbaugh and Hannity tell them to think, and their talking points are very easy to debunk.
