thought you infidels should read this if you haven't been on fark yet today:

Quote:

RESOLUTION
Recognizing the public need for fasting and prayer in order to secure the blessings and protection of Providence for the people of the United States and our Armed Forces during the conflict in Iraq and under the threat of terrorism at home.

Whereas the United States is currently engaged in a war on terrorism in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001;

Whereas the Armed Forces of the United States are currently engaged in a campaign to disarm the regime of Saddam Hussein and liberate the people of Iraq;

That would be a very Islamic thing to do wouldn't it? Surely all that will accomplish is to confuse the big guy even more, I mean how is the poor guy supposed to know whose side to be on if both sides are going to use the same methods of worship?

Anyhow I would have thought that the weather of the last few days has pretty much indicated which side the big guy is on in all this.

time to eat like a pig!

I just had a thougth, if all the oil in Iraq were to suddenly, miraculously turn into blood, preferably lambs blood, I do believe I would convert!

PTL!!

Reading things like that resolution is profoundly depressing. Doesn't our government have anything better to do with their time than inflict these idiocies on their constituents? Then again, they are doing this because they think it will buy them votes with said constituents come election time. That thought may be more depressing than the actual resolution.

I though you are kidding .... ! But I googled and I checked that on GOP website:

http://www.gop.gov/committeecentral/...p?bill=hres153

That's just crazy !!!!!!!

And what is most frustrating is that democrats voted like funds too !

Quote:

H.Res. 153 was introduced by Rep. Akin on March 20, 2003. It was referred to the Government Reform Committee, but was not considered. On March 27, 2003, the bill was agreed to in the House by a vote of 346 - 49, 23 Present (Roll no. 90).

346 to vote for this absurdity !!!!!

Our congress and President went mad !!!!

Aren't we crucaders afterall ?! How coud we not espect the Arab terrorist's terrror when we commit greateat provocations possible.

Tell you: CLASH BETWEEN MUSLIM FUNDS AND AMERICAN FUNDS IS INEVITABLE ! :banghead:

ARMAGEDON IS COMING !!!!!!!!!

Only it won't come from the mythical Satan, but from the halucenogenic fundamentalists in the Congress and White House with power to destroy the world !

A self-fulfilling prophesy ........

I so glad that I decided to "give up entirely" for lent. Because if I didn't, this would make me so angry..... ARARAGHRARGHARGHGARHGARGHHH!!!!

Perhaps this is why tens of millions died in WWII. They didn't pray and fast on home for the soldiers.

Its a fucking placebo! Take a sugar pill, it'll do as much! I love America, I really do, but I'm starting to be at the limit of what I can take of stupid ignorant Americanism.

Its funny, the Qu'ran really gives a feel of paranoia, and that it should. Living in the desert, with very little to call your own, with people surrounding you trying to smite you for thousands of years should lead to paranoia. But look who's being paranoid. Where is the grace of Christianity?
(pondering putting second sticker on car that says "God was my co-pilot, but we crashed into the mountains. so I had to eat him" just to piss off these wackos!)

editted to add:

Though The Onion did have something similar. The Funk Congress is deadlocked on get up or get down issue
