God Bless President Bush

3. In fact, Cheney still holds nearly half a million Halliburton stock options which have risen 3,281% in the last year and are now valued at over $8 million. Also, its an absolute fact that Bush's first big deal was Harken Energy (oil).

So? I own Haliburton stock too. I own a lot of stock. So what? What's wrong with owning oil stock? In today's economy you'd be crazy not to.

Are you jealous because you don't have any?

Well, if we are gonna hold the President accountable for the promises he made, but couldn't keep, then I guess we should hold every politician/person in the world that made a promise and couldn't keep.

How many promises have you failed to fulfill? If you have failed once, you are a hipocrit.

You're not stepping on my toes, but you do need to be corrected.

So, what do you expect to gain by becoming a member of worthyboards? A better understanding of Christianity and how it should govern our nation? Just be sure you have your priorities straight and it wouldn't hurt to introduce yourself and tell us why you are here.

Well, to answer both these at once, I never learned that Republican and Christian were the same thing as I grew up a Southern Baptist. I now attend Methodist services, oddly enough the same denomination as the President, but they haven't caught on to that either.

I guess I thought this board might accept politics as secular, not a matter of faith and therefore open to debate. I didn't realize expressing a view other than hard right Republican meant I was unChristian and unAmerican. Maybe this is the wrong place for me.

No hard feelings.

Love in Christ,

Mac

Never any hard feelings, Mac. We all endure a "baptism by fire" here. You'll fit in. Stick around and learn how to take us. With a grain pound of salt.

Dan, I am in agreement with you. I pray for GWB every day. I believe he is a genuine G-d fearing man. Far from perfect, yes. I posted a piece about his low numbers in the polls. Try to read it. The writer of the piece gives what I think are good reasons for the low rating. Considering how strong the economy is and how safe we have been since 9/11, the low numbers are baffling. Never has one man rubbed so many the wrong way.

I believe one of the many good things about Mr. Bush is that his concern is not ratings. I honestly don't think he cares what the ratings say. He makes his decisions on what he believes is right--not what is popular. We may not all agree with all his decisions, but I don't think anyone can say of him that popularity is a goal of his. (Even though he has had the highest rating of any other President.) That's a basic element of a good leader.

Maybe GWB has rubbed so many people the wrong way because so many people care not for the ways of God.

Exactly...

Simple...people who hate rich oil men shouldn't use any more oil than necessary. Don't eat out. Keep your house as warm or cold as you can bear, don't take vacations where you travel, no entertainment. Don't use the AC in church on Sundays. Ect... Live like a hermit so you can keep as much money out of Bush and Cheney hands as possible.

Rich oil men should be given a metal for running the price of gas up. Lower prices discourage conservation and promote global warming.

No my friend..... your way off. Its not Bush's fault, it ours.

Dan

Good point.

Mac...Michael Moore owns stock in Haliburton. Lots of it. As far as religion goes, I don't think I made this a religious post other than I used the common term, "God Bless". He could be an atheist and it wouldn't change my opinion about the decisions he's had to make. I believe History will proove that he tried to do the right thing. Even if Saddam wasn't the real reason. He could have never sold the war on the true reason but the true reason is valid none the less. Its reality. Most people don't really understand what would happen if we didn't have a heavy military presence in that region. They are too busy enjoying the good life thats built on the free flow of oil.

One thing I've been feeling convicted about...

If the Lord meant to use Pres. Bush as a test to see if the Church would spend its time praying and interceding for the president as opposed to condemning him, I would say that we have failed miserably.

Bush could have stayed on his ranch and lived the good life. He ran here in Texas because we asked him to. He ran in 2000 because he was asked to. He never had a Hillary style life long plan to be President. You couldn't pay me enough to take his job. Instead of sitting on his backside in Crawford, he sitting in D.C. taking more dung than anyone I have ever seen. I'm not an evengelical. Nor am I even much of a Christian but I do know that Darkness hates the Light. I'm sorry, but if Al Gore, Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, Hollywood and Dan Rather are the light, I want to be in darkness. To me Bush must be part of the light because of the Devils who hate him so much. I can't even stand the rock stars I once listened to because of the way the openly rip this man. Neil Young, Mick Jagger, Don Henley ect. I wonder how much oil based products these clowns use in one week?
