I pissed off a freeper today!

[jmowreader]

Today is payday, and on payday I always go to the store to get cat food.

I turned onto an aisle in the parking lot, and a car was pulling out of a space. About three spots away there was a freeper in a minivan full of screaming brats--Bush/Cheney front license plate with an "I Love Jesus" license plate surround, two religious front bumper stickers, the logo on the grille was pried off and replaced by a Jesus fish. Truly scary vehicle. (Later I saw the back--it was worse. She had a vanity plate with a Bible verse on it. She had two large, three medium and three small Jesus fish, one with a cross for an eye. She had the "Home School Bus" bumper sticker, two anti-Democrat bumper stickers, a "Jesus On Board" sign in the back window...it was like she went to the Family Christian Center and asked for one of each, then put them all on the same vehicle.)

Because I detest people blocking the aisles waiting for parking and it was a decent spot, I pulled into the space. Naturally, she responded with that most Christian of all gestures: shaking her right fist at me while she extended her left hand out the window, middle finger raised. I think this means "God loves you and so do I."

And then she backed up about three feet and pulled into the empty parking space she was blocking while waiting for this one to clear.

1. hmmm

I don't recall anything in the Bible saying you should flip someone off...

[kixot]

6. Sure it does.

It says "Turn the other cheek and then flip them off", I think.

[WindRavenX]

8. oh yeah! I totally forgot about that one!

Is it the same as "Go forth and eat the poor" one? :silly:

[SmileyBoy]

2. MAN, for people who CLAIM to have love, they sure don't show any.

Bastards...

3. Funny, isn't it

that people don't think about their actions when they have bumper stickers on their cars. I try to be extra nice and polite so that when people see my Kerry stickers, they won't say that Dems are bad people.

[kixot]

4. I might have said "it was as is God's will".

You'd think followers of Christ would know better than become frustrated with the will of God.

Prior To Detention, Controversial 9/11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick Signed January Order Sending Mohammed Jamal Khalifa To Face Death Sentence In Jordan; Major Intelligence On al Qaeda Was Obtained Soon After
By J.M. Berger
INTELWIRE.com


The U.S. government secretly detained Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law for four months in 1995, after the INS announced he had already been deported to Jordan, according to documents obtained by INTELWIRE using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The Jordan deportation was authorized by then-Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, at the request of Secretary of State Warren Christopher. A member of the independent commission investigating the September 11 attacks, Gorelick came under fire earlier in 2004 for possible conflicts arising from her role in the Clinton administration's war on terrorism.

Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, an alleged terrorist financier married to a sister of bin Laden, was arrested in San Francisco, Calif., in December 1994. Within a month, the Justice Department instituted extradition proceedings to deport Khalifa to Jordan, where he had been convicted in absentia for his alleged involvement in a terrorist plot to bomb movie theaters.

According to a public statement by the INS, that deportation was completed on May 3, 1995. But new evidence obtained by INTELWIRE shows the case is more complex than it seemed.


Behind The Scenes Of The Arrest
Khalifa was in the Philippines in November 1994. According to a 2002 FBI affadavit, he was in contact with a terrorist cell in Manila during that time. (link to document) Led by Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the cell was plotting to bomb a dozen U.S.-bound airliners in mid-January 1995, according to trial records.

Authorities claim that Khalifa helped fund the plot, known as Bojinka, through a network of charities and businesses he had founded in the Philippines. Khalifa has denied all these charges and says he has never been connected to terrorist activity.

Khalifa came to the U.S. on Dec. 1, 1994. He was arrested by the FBI and the INS on Dec. 16, shortly before returning to the Philippines. According to INS records obtained by INTELWIRE, his visa was revoked because he was wanted by Jordanian authorities for funding a series of movie theater bombings earlier that year.

According to the 2002 affadavit, a founding member of al Qaeda was arrested while traveling with Khalifa. Mohamed Loay Bayazid allegedly tried to purchase uranium for al Qaeda in the early 1990s, according to the affadavit and other court records.

Although he was arrested with Khalifa, INTELWIRE has been unable to ascertain the existence of public records which indicate what happened to Bayazid after his arrest. According to the 2002 affadavit, Bayazid was released under unclear circumstances and later fled the country.

After the arrest, Khalifa was held at the Santa Rita County Jail for several months in a high-security cell, according to the San Francisco Examiner. The detention in a local facility was consistent with INS practice at the time.

On Dec. 20, a search warrant was executed for Khalifa's baggage, according to court records obtained by INTELWIRE. An electronic organizer in his luggage contains a phone number linked to Bojinka, according to the 2002 affadavit.

That phone number was for a unit in the Dona Josefa apartment building in Manila, where a member of Yousef's terrorist cell was living. Yousef was living and building bombs in another unit at the same building.

On December 21, 1994, Khalifa was convicted and sentenced to death in absentia by the Jordanian govenrment on charges of aiding terrorist activity. The next day, the ambassador of Jordan requested that Khalifa be extradited, according to an official copy of the letter, obtained by INTELWIRE.

On January 5, 1995, Secretary of State Warren Christopher sent a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno, formally requesting that Khalifa be deported specifically to Jordan. The letter came nearly three weeks after deportation proceedings had already begun.

The next day, Gorelick sent a letter to the Office of the Immigration Judge which stated that she was aware deportation proceedings were underway and stipulates that Khalifa should not be deported to any country except Jordan. The letter was obtained by INTELWIRE under FOIA. (link to document)

9. I sympathize.

I lived in the 'bible belt' for a few years, and I can tell you, there weren't a whole lot of people practicing what they preach.

As to your situation, she probably doesn't even have enough self-awareness to realize what a hypocrite she is. Or maybe it wasn't her van?

[jmowreader]

13. As full of kids as it was...

I believe it was her van.

You've seen those "what would Jesus do?" bumper stickers, of that I am positive. She had one. Now, I don't know what Jesus would do, but I'm fairly certain of what he would not:

* He would not lie
* He would not use foul language nor foul body expressions
* He would not cheat
* He would not steal
* He would not cover himself in cross jewelry so everyone would think he was a good person even though he acts like a total asshole.
* He wouldn't act like a total asshole, either.

In short, he wouldn't act like most of his followers.

10. Freepers Lack Logic

But then they are voting for Bush. Bush's and the radical right wingers are some sick people. Kill thine enemy before they kill you is certainly not what Christ taught.

14. The reason Christofascists act this way is........................

because they are "already forgiven". When you accept Jeebus as your "personal saviour", all your sins are washed away. As long as you keep reaffirming your faith every day, those day's sins are also forgiven. So basically you have carte blanche to be as evil as you wish. All is forgiven.

Thanks for your story...... It is nice to have a place to read that I am not the only one that sees the hypocrisy of so many people.
