shepherdboy said:I remember shortly after 911 how the American people were so united and going back to church and putting some reality back in their lives. Fast forward to now and its back to normal. Country divided and most just want to fill their lives with material goods. God have mercy.
Psychoblues said:The depiction could have easily been of GWB with a bomb in his right hand and a carrot in his left(He has a cowboy hat, but it doesn't fit). How offended would you be? Both depictions would fairly, accurately, but in a funny way, represent current fundamentalist American right wing ideology.
I hope that when the right wing Christian fundamentalists realize that they've been totally duped by the present administration about their obsession with war (so long as there is a profit) and return to their core beliefs as taught by Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, they set about to further advance additional Christian beliefs such as charity, society, justice and humility. There are others, but these are the most basic.
I am only offended by the words that accompany the depiction. I am a Democrat, yet I was not offended by the depiction. I am a leftist, a liberal, a progressive and I am considered an intellectual in many circles (I would argue that point) and I still was not offended by the cartoon. I was certainly, as most of us were, offended by the attacks of 9-11-2001. So, what is the author trying to say?

Psychoblues said:WTF are you talking about? Are you being forced about something?
Psychoblues
rtwngAvngr said:We all know your lefty version of charity is forced income redistribution at the point of a gun.
Psychoblues said:I've NEVER pointed a gun at you or any other AMERICAN, rtwngAvngr. And, I certainly don't agree with forced income redistribution such as I see with the windfalls of Halliburton, Harken Energy, Enron, WordCom, all the American automakers that have survived the political throat cutting of the past, or any of the governmental allowed or legislated profitteering that I've been a witness to for the last 55 years.
You have me confused with someone else.

rtwngAvngr said:No. You're still yourself. The communist. Would you like to outlaw the practice of the government hiring private contractors? What do you want exactly?
Psychoblues said:I'm not a communist. I'm an American, a veteran and a citizen with all the scars and ideological improvements and understandings to justify it. What are you? Just an internet junkie with no time or thoughts to promote truth, justice and the American way?
I have no objection to private contractors. I do have objection to war profitteering. Don't you? After all, isn't WAR a weakness and a religious abomination?
That's what I want. Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Psychoblues
rtwngAvngr said:What are some of you ideological improvements and understandings? Sounds like a load to me.
Psychoblues said:You, more than most here, have read much history about me, rtwngAvngr. Sounds like a "load" to you? You're plenty a load for sure.
Psychoblues
rtwngAvngr said:Becoming a communist isn't an ideological improvement, so I know you're not talking about that. What are your ideological improvements?
Psychoblues said:I'll repeat, just this one time for you, avenger, I am not a communist and I'll add that I've never and will never become a member of any communist party. I'm an American. I believe in truth, justice and the American way of life that I have been raised to understand. I don't cotton to lies, innuendo or otherwise misrepresentations that you seem so eager to embrace.
I dig FREEDOM. I don't dig freedom to antagonize, usurp, intimidate, or falsely embellish. I think the promise of AMERICA is better than all that. Don't you?

Actually, you are mischaracterizing a large number of Americans.Psychoblues said:The depiction could have easily been of GWB with a bomb in his right hand and a carrot in his left(He has a cowboy hat, but it doesn't fit). How offended would you be? Both depictions would fairly, accurately, but in a funny way, represent current fundamentalist American right wing ideology.
So tell me who these Right Wing Christian fundamentalists are? Again, you're mischaracterizing a large number of people.I hope that when the right wing Christian fundamentalists realize that they've been totally duped by the present administration about their obsession with war (so long as there is a profit) and return to their core beliefs as taught by Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, they set about to further advance additional Christian beliefs such as charity, society, justice and humility. There are others, but these are the most basic.
This is a time of war. You always throw up the fact that you served our country as a smokescreen to hide behind. If anybody understands what's at stake here, it should be you. An armchair intellectual shouldn't have to point out the obvious to you, but yet, one obviously has to. So here goes...I am only offended by the words that accompany the depiction. I am a Democrat, yet I was not offended by the depiction. I am a leftist, a liberal, a progressive and I am considered an intellectual in many circles (I would argue that point) and I still was not offended by the cartoon. I was certainly, as most of us were, offended by the attacks of 9-11-2001. So, what is the author trying to say?
Rats!!!! I can't give you any rep!!!!!Hobbit said:All right, I've taken the abuse and turned the other cheek long enough. All I have to show for it is two sore cheeks, so this is me finally snapping.
How dare you Godless, condescending, atheistic, liberal HEATHENS try to tell me how I'm supposed to follow my own religion. I've read the Bible. I follow the teachings. I live my life the best way I know how, Biblically, yet every time a political issue comes up, a bunch of intellectual elites who have spent years telling me how I'm just a neanderthal living with the primitive notion of a God as a crutch all of a sudden tell me that I have to do what they want because Jesus says this or Jesus says that. WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT JESUS??? Tell me, I'm curious. You ever talk to him? I didn't think so. Game over. You lose. Jesus tore up a temple marketplace for defiling the temple. He also said that we should protect the innocnet. When he returns, he's also coming on a really cool horse with an army at his back. Did you know that? Probably not. Now, I'm going to shut up before I let my tongue, described in the Bible as a viper full of deadly poison (another thing you smug liberals, so interested in the sounds of your own voices, probably didn't know), gets the better of me.
Now go away and don't tell me how I'm supposed to follow Jesus until you actually try it for yourself.
