Yeah...that'll really appease the bloody God's, won't it?
Originally posted by shavixmirProbably not...but it will appease the religious fundamentalists who might be swayed by the recent harsh criticism of the U.S. administration in the wake of the disaster. Since my eyes are wide open, it appears to me to be a simple-minded ploy to gain popular support by a president whose approval ratings have been freefalling...rally 'round god, y'all!

you guys can be just as bad as the religious right...
Originally posted by telerionOk. I was actually referring to the cynicism of the posts. The cynicism never ceases. Believe it or not, there are people in this world who need religion (including prayer) as a crutch, and without it they would fall. And yes, David's post was certainly not false. Politics is politics, and of course the "prayer day" was most likely done first and foremost with the intentions that it would be better for Bush. However, there are people who need such things as prayer. I know from what I've seen. I'll leave it there, because I know that I can be quite cynical myself. But I responded to this thread because it was just another cheap shot at Bush.

There is no doubt that W politicks everything. We should not be surprised. Besides being an incompetent wacko, he is a politician. Politicking is what politicians do.
Finally, no matter how upset you are, it is never okay to insult some one's intelligence like you did in your post.

Care to provide an example of a 'well-deserved' shot at Bush? I get increasingly tired of Bush apologetics who trot out this old chestnut at every turn. George Bush, Jr. is a barely-literate frat boy whose father bought him ...[text shortened]... rade unfold for 5+ years?
