<DIV> Hey everyone,
</DIV>
<DIV> What about the burning of villages ( most likely had children in
them especially in the night like they did) while Kerry was in war? What about
when he basically went crazy shooting animals like dogs, cats,
ect. ? What about all the people who have testified to this?
What about him admitting it. Ok maybe I'm throwing old dirt up <EM>but
</EM><U>FACTS ARE FACTS.</U> Yet we still want this man to be
our government leader? <STRONG>How can people be so
blind?</STRONG> I'll tell you what I think. The majority of America hears
only what it want it wants to & what sounds good not stopping to
think about what effect its going to have on themselves & their
children. So much so that America has put God on the back shelf
& feed ourselves lies that we can be our own god and that we don't need a
God. No matter how much we want to forget it our country was founded on the
Bible. Now prayer is taken out of schools, homos marry, & the ten
commandments are taken out of the court rooms but those who are offended
STILL CHOOSE TO SPEND OUR MONEY THAT SAYS <STRONG>IN GOD WE TRUST
</STRONG>? By choosing to vote for someone that had this bad of a
reputation should be more red flags than anyone can count. I don't recall
anything this bad being said about Bush in all the negative comments I've
heard. Just my <STRONG>opinion.</STRONG></DIV>

Well Lance, I would have to agree with most of her criticisms of the <BR>>
Bush<BR>> administration, and I definitely agree that there is nothing
<BR>> Christian<BR>> about Bush, nor does any Christian have a duty as
such to vote for <BR>> him --<BR>> or to vote for any specific candidate.
Each of us has a personal <BR>> relation<BR>> to Jesus which leads us to
many conclusions about what we should do <BR>> in<BR>> the world, voting
being one of the most individual of those choices, <BR>> and<BR>> least
reducible to doctrine.<BR>> <BR>> But, like you say, this was a joke. Its
a partisan joke, I took the <BR>> time<BR>> to point out that I don't find
it very convincing as evidence of<BR>> anything, but hey, it WAS clever! It
doesn't rise to the level of<BR>> "fallacious argument" because its not an
argument at all. It is, on <BR>> its<BR>> face, pure fiction, the
fabrication of a mind with an eye for puns <BR>> and<BR>> double
entendre.<BR>> <BR>> A friend of mine from Ethiopia, now a naturalized
citizen, used to <BR>> be<BR>> fearful of my frequent jokes about
President Bush. From past <BR>> experience,<BR>> he expected the FBI to
burst in the door and drag us away. I finally <BR>> got<BR>> across that
in America, our favorite past-time is telling jokes at <BR>> the<BR>>
expense of our President. We all do it, no matter who is in, whether <BR>>
we<BR>> voted for him or not, whether we ever intend to again or not.
Every<BR>> comedian does too. The comedians most sympathetic to Kerry will
<BR>> spend the<BR>> next four years roasting him if he wins. It is one
thing that makes <BR>> us<BR>> different from Iraq. (Did you catch the
replays of the Dianne <BR>> Sawyer<BR>> interview, where Hussein expressed
genuine surprise that people who <BR>> make<BR>> fun of the president in
America are not arrested for it?<BR>> <BR>> In 1944, when America was in
the midst of a formally declared war, <BR>> facing<BR>> powerful enemies
on two fronts, we held a full fledged election for<BR>> president, with the
Republican challenger, Thomas Dewey, referring <BR>> to the<BR>>
commander-in-chief, Franklin D. Roosevelt, as "that tired old man."<BR>>
<BR>> By the way, do you know the difference between Bill Clinton and
<BR>> Jane<BR>> Fonda?<BR>> <BR>> Jane Fonda went to
Vietnam.<BR>> <BR>> (I never really cared for either one of them -- or for
the war in<BR>> Vietnam).<BR>> <BR>> Siarlys<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
