McVeigh wore a printed T-shirt with the motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Sic semper tyrannis ("Thus always to tyrants", according to legend what Brutus said as he assassinated Julius Caesar, also shouted by John Wilkes Booth immediately after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln) and "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" (from Thomas Jefferson). He also carried an envelope of anti-government materials that included a bumper sticker with the Thomas Jefferson slogan, "When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Underneath, McVeigh had written, "Maybe now, there will be liberty!"

McVeigh wasn't a Christian....another major fail thread for Batshit Boy

Strapped to a gurney, awaiting the lethal injection Monday that would punish him for the Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh asked to see a priest.



"McVeigh did see last rites which were provided by a BOP chaplain," said Jeff Grondolsky, a spokesman with the Bureau of Prisons.

Part of the sacrament includes confession and an absolution of sins.

Did McVeigh confess to the priest?

"I think it speaks for itself," McVeigh attorney Robert Nigh said.

He was a mackerel snapper

McVeigh biographer Lou Michel spoke to McVeigh's father, Bill McVeigh, after the execution.

"He was glad to hear that Tim had taken last rites and that maybe religion had hit him in the last few hours," Michel said.

The rites were performed before curtains were opened to allow witnesses to observe the execution.

Father Ron Ashmore of St. Margaret Mary Church in Terre Haute said he was "glad" McVeigh asked for last rites. Ashmore met McVeigh while doing work with the prison before the current chaplain was hired.

guano fails again.

it had nothing to do with his faith

not that you care why he did it, no, thinking on that level would require thinking.

Speaking of guano, interesting factoid in the paper this morning: America's first foray into imperialism was to take over an island for its .... bird guano. Bat and seabird. It was the 19th century equivalent of MiracleGro. How appropriate that a shitty policy actually began over literal shit.

He was a self professed agnostic, dumbass. He stated it over and over. Agnostic is NOT Christian. Learn the facts before making yourself look like a tool

It's a shame that a horrifying attack like the Oklahoma City bombing has been deflected into an argument over the asshole's religion. It's true that there are plenty of American folks out there who hate our government and dream of bombing the Capital, the White House, etc. It is said that since 9/11, the government has been focusing on foreign terrorists and that is a big reason why the number of hate groups in this country has exploded in the past decade. The 'patriot' terrorists are scary dudes.
