George W. Bush: "Pro-Lifer"
George W. Bush claims to be "pro-life" because he is against abortion. However, how many people did he execute? I was under the impression he had no second thoughts about sending mentally incompetant and underage people to death. Is that true? If so, what were the specifics. Also, I was directed to this site www.wayofthemaster.com and I was shocked at their fire and brimstone approach. Reading that site, it made it rather clear to me why fundies are like that. They do not see anyone who is not a fundie as worthy of life, therefore thousands of Muslims dead? Eh, they were damned anyway. What do you guys think?

Thanks.
Steph

1. Under his watch, 131 were executed
According to this site: http://www.ccadp.org/bushwhacked.htm
219 total have been executed since 1982; making GWB's execution numbers extremely high.
W has an warped view of life and death; he sees no shades of gray, only black and white. And if you fall into that latter catagory..you're a gonner.

2. I've run into fundies like that before
They told me Jesus was NOT the Prince of Peace, that he would kill anyone who did not worship him as God, that all this 'turn the other cheek' was liberal wimpiness. Weird and twisted, these folks are.

9. Kirk became "saved"!!
Now, he goes around saying you'll go to hell if you don't repent of disobeying the 10 commandments and accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

5. Where I live, most people think Bush is great because they think he's
pro-life. Like you, I've had a hard time attaching that label on him because of his cavalier attitude in capital punishment and all of the lying and reckless approach his administration has taken regarding use of our military.

Right to Life just pigeonholes the debate on life on the fetus. That way, they can voice support for the far-right wing of the Republican party. If they would address all of the issues regarding life, including capital punishment, health care, care for the elderly, war and other issues, they couldn't endorse a full slate of Republicans and condemn the pro-choice Democrats during the election season like they have over the years.

7. They're CINOs
Real Christians want to preserve life as long as possible in the hope of a deathbed repentance and conversion.

Some people are just meanspiritied and hateful. If they can blame it on a god, any god, they never have to confront who and what they are.

Pity them, outquote them, but above all, keep them the hell out of power.

8. Pro-Lifer?
Blowing up innocent men, women, and children in Iraq and Afghanistan makes you pro-life?

10. that particular "theology" is based on a very literal interpretation . . .
Edited on Mon Aug-02-04 06:49 AM by OneBlueSky
of the Bible . . . but only in so much as it suits their purposes . . . there are tons of things in the Bible (support of slavery, etc.) that folks like this conveniently omit, or convolute to suit their purposes . . . their inconsistency is staggering, and undermines their initial premise (i.e. that all truth is found in the Bible) . . . I have no use for this kind of thinking . . . mainly because it's not thinking at all . . . it's just dogma . . .

I actually have a great deal of respect for the teachings of Jesus . . . probably much more so than people like Kirk Cameron or George W. Bush . . . the notion that Jesus would tell Bush to attack Iraq, for example, is foreign to everything he taught . . . as is most of the right wing agenda . . . their use of his name is nothing but a political ploy, and one which Jesus, I suspect, would not be happy about . . .

12. Pro-Lifer???
What about the Abortion of Robin Lowman?

The Democrats are very well aware of junior's girl friend and her abortion. In 1970 or 1971 junior was dating a woman named Robin Lowman (now Robin Garner).

Miss Lowman became pregnant by junior and he arranged for her to have an abortion. Which was illegal in the great state of Texas in 1971. Not to mention that junior ran as a pro-life candidate for the presidency.

Robert Carl Chandler is a good friend of junior and a supporter from way back. Mr. Chandler made the arrangements for Miss Lowman's abortion at the Twelve Oaks Hospital in Houston, Texas. It is now call the Bayou City Medical Center. The source was threatened by Chandler and another junior crony named James R. Bath. You may have recalled on the threads you've read the last few days, as being junior's AWOL buddy from the the guard and junior's business partner in oil dealings in Midland, and the BBCI scam.
