(Or is it a army of violent-souled ex-mercenaries is getting ready to wage total doom-war against us?) Shouldn’t you be stocking the bunker or sacrificing fattened calves or something? But just to clarify, yes, I am mocking the living shit out of your amazingly stupid ‘religious/spiritual views’. Heck, call it ‘hate speech’ if you like: I hate stupid motherfuckers like you. You are some scared flagellant, more fit for scurrying around in the Dark Ages than living in these rational times. > [@FinnAgain](#): > > ~blink~ > ~blink blink~ Ya got something in your eye, kid. > [@](#): > > You are, honestly, with your bare face hanging out, going to claim that quotes about how God selected him to be president, or speaks through him, or how we’re on the side of God and God supports our goals… those don’t speak towards Bush claiming that God is on our side? They’re “unrelated”? You are beating that dead horse like it owes you money. You specifically claimed that ‘the Bush Regime talks about God being on our side’. If that is true, whip out that cite! But since it is not true, you are reduced to citing pretty much anything else GW says about God, without ever proving your original claim. > [@](#): > > Chug that jonestown juice. Chug it. Port. I’m working on a bottle of cheap but oh so yummy port. ---

> [@Brutus](#): > > You specifically claimed that ‘the Bush Regime talks about God being on our side’. If that is true, whip out that cite! I’ve whipped out several cites, and you’re being willfully ignorant. I suspect that you’re playing some odd semantic game and only a direct quote by Bush that said “God is on our side.” would satisfy you. A half dozen Bush quotes that say the exact same thing, but don’t use that phrasing, you ignore. Go fig. > [@Brutus](#): > > But since it is not true, you are reduced to citing pretty much anything else GW says about God, without ever proving your original claim. Riiiiight. Because those quotes certainly don’t talk about Bush’s belief that God chose him, or that we’re on the side of God, or whatever. Mmm hmmmmmmmm. (Honestly **Brutus** do you believe your own partisan rhetoric, or is the strain of cognitive dissonance too much even for you and you know, deep down, that you’re being absolutely ridiculous?) ---

I suspect that you’re playing some odd semantic game and only a direct quote by Bush that said “God is on our side.” would satisfy you… Yep. You claimed _X_ was said, and until you can demonstrate that _X_ in fact was said, I will call bullshit. Citing _Y_ and _Z_ is cute and all, but has nothing to do with your original claim. ---
