Second of all... the "thing" to which I was referring that your War Criminal Bushites learned from the evil Emperor Nixon was this little lesson:"Naaaaaaah... that's the real evolutionary beauty of the Born Again evangelical. Once you've been "saved;" by definition you can't be re-damned no matter what." Message 24884687 To wit:One of his [Ford's] first acts as President was some spiritual housecleaning. Among the more ingeniously cynical inventions of the Nixon Administration was the much publicized White House Church Service, which in addition to providing genuine fellowship for those so inclined, was a prime tool for image building, fund raising, arm twisting and dealmaking for the President's men. Two days after Ford was sworn in, his wife Betty Ford would write in her diary, a little pointedly, "There aren't going to be any more private services in the East Room for a select few." time.com Then too, Chapter 28 of Gary Wills book reports widely known (but often denied) evangelical confession of faith by Nixon during a revival as a reverent teen.books.google.com No doubt "one" might find other references... not to mention the sordid taped "conversations" with Billy Graham... of the two-faced Grahams. And third of all... if one can tear himself away from the pedantic pismire of the present... long enough to learn a little history to go along with one's, so called, facts... one might discover that old Milhouse terminated well in excess of 100's of thousands of Vietnamese/American/Australian/Canadian/etc. and so on, lives... together with multi-trillions of the 2008 versions of the, so called, dollar... all in pursuit of nothing more than his grand pre-election lie: I have a secret plan to end the fighting in Vietnam! Honest!! Then one might also stop to contemplate the total butcher's bill which said Milhouse rang up by completely destabilizing Cambodia and clearing the proverbial decks for one Pol Pot. But finally... 6-6-6th of all... the root of all evil passed down from Nixon to Reagan to Bush II is this one de facto truth: You too can murder millions, lie, cheat, violate Congressional enactments, spy on and abuse your citizens by the misuse of executive power, sodomize your subordinates, and steal our grand-children's inheritance... yet never even be charged as a criminal. Just as long as you were "saved" in accordance with the Testament Du Jour... and managed to be a U.S. President at the time of your offense. Indeed sir, had the young Cheney and Rumsfeld not been such grand students during the original Nixon lectures... it is quite possible that your Johnnie-come-lately Bushites would have never known about the Get Out Of Jail Free card at the back of their Bibles. 0|0
