"I feel good that I have a president who gets down on his knees every day"

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2006/11/terrorists_all_.html#more

<snip>

Inside, "Mr. President, We Approve Your Message,'' read the banner strung along the wall across from the president's podium. With several thousand supporters assembled for a "Montana Victory'' rally, the audience was led in prayer before Bush's arrival.

"We're not afraid to say, 'One nation under God' here," Tammy Hall, the woman emceeing the rally, told the crowd with a rousing warmup. "I can tell you, I feel good that I have a president who gets down on his knees every day."

"There is something we know in this crowd ... That is that freedom isn't free, and our military is made up of the smartest people in the world," she said, with an apparent allusion to the "botched joke" that Democratic Sen. John Kerry made about getting "stuck in Iraq" for failing to study hard. She took another verbal shot later at Kerry by name, eliciting cheers as she called on all to support the troops at war.

Thus was a Big Sky stage set for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem - and the president of the United States of America.

38. freedom isn't free, unless...
you're rich.

Then you just send others off to fight for freedom, or money, or whatever.

3. OK, I'm just picturing "someone" down on their knees
with a hangover throwing up in the toilet. Anybody else have that thought (or another one) pop into their mind when they read this subject line?

Could it be that pesky little Jeffy who had those 200+ unchaperoned visits to the White House?

15. HAHAHA, "Tammy Hall?" "Tammany Hall?"
I wondered why I thought "scandal" while reading this article...the word "scandal" kept popping up into my mind. Then I realized it was subliminal. I read "Tammy Hall" as "Tammany Hall." You'd think some P.R. guy would have thought of that too before selecting the M.C...

20. I don't "feel" anything, but I think a lot of things
about a president who "feels" that praying is a strategy for solving world problems.

Fortunately I also think that the Idiot In Chief doesn't believe in prayer or feel anything more complex than your average borderline personality (BPS) disordered loon.

21. Oh, just puke! If george is on his knees, it's probably because he is puking
after a night of binge drinking. George was "born again" to get elected as Texas Gov, and as a way to get the southern fundy vote for his future run as President. It was a rove pr move. george is a fake christian. I think that has been established.

Aren't these the same folks who not only don't believe in evolution, and or modern medicine but they also believe that its perfectly ok to marry your own cousin?
Well in that case, in a few years our problems will be solved!
All that inbreeding and lack of proper medicine will kill them off...!
Oh crap! But you know some spineless democratic leader will pass some sort of commy universal health care plan to take care of these inbred retards!
DAM IT YOU JUST NEVER WIN!

32. That's a bit harsh.
They may be mindless zombies, but inbreeding is a bit harsh, especially since we have good Democrats all over the country, including this very area.

Insulting various regions isn't helping Democrats win.

The arrogance!

If Bush jumped off a cliff, many of these people would no doubt follow. I just feel sad for the children being indoctrinated. Any connection here to that new documentary Jesus Camp? Looks the same from here.

39. The first pic
might as well come from "Triumph of the Will" the documentary about Hitler, the undershot to show a LARGE GODLIKE person..

Simply psyops, works on the sheeple desperate to be part of the "winning" side, and those with morals are LOSERS to them, tho they use those same morals to make it appear that they are HUMAN and KIND, when they are NOT.

A little Poem by Bukoski:

The Genius Of The Crowd by Charles Bukowski
there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock

their finest art
