It’s time to hold our president accountable for how he took the fools way out, and betrayed the name and character of Jesus Christ in his militaristic response to the attacks on 9-11. Considering how he has taken our country headfirst into a spiritual quest to
"rid the world of evildoers", I see it as perfectly fair to judge his actions by spiritual means. Think back for a moment to that traumatic time. Millions of Americans were looking not only to our churches, but also to our “christian” President for spiritual guidance in the wake of our national tragedy, and so the responsibility for non-christian reaction rests squarly on his shoulders as well. But even five years later, the church refuses to admit that he made any mistake in his response to 911. Granted, Bush’s responsibility is not solely spiritual, but his job as president is to serve and protect the American people. As commander in chief, The final decision to respond with force or diplomacy was his, as was the degree of that response (through the permission of congress). If the administration had treated the event of 9-11 as the crime it was, rather than an act of war, many lives would have been saved. All the Afghanistan government asked of America in exchange for Bin laden was proof of his involvement in the attacks...we would not give it. 'Why?' is a great question in and of itself, and one I would rather not get into now. Because evidence pointing to the fabrification of the "official story" of 911 has filled thousands of web pages, and would bring this argument to a whole new, terribly ugly depth.
For now at least, let's focus on the fact that Bush did not respond to 9-11 as a christian should, or even as a public servant with the best interest of the American people in mind. He played to the crowd, stoked the fire and fed our understandable hunger for blood. We were rushed into war quicker than you can say "Caspian Sea pipeline". However, while we the people might have craved vengeance for the attacks, our immediate desires were likewise not in our best interest. 9-11 was a crime against humanity, not an act of war. As much as the government would hate to admit, there's a distinction between "war" and "terrorism". The best interest of the nation would have been criminal prosecution of any surviving members of the responsible conspiracy, as well as a severly heightened border security plan, but of course that isn't what happened.
Furthermore, no matter who you may believe was behind the attacks, the fact remains that our military industrial complex used that crime as it’s long-desired excuse for a full-blown invasion of the middle eastern region. War is profit, and war is control…no doubt about that. Yet the wicked nature of our imperialist response was disguised by the quickly dropped term “crusade”. Fanned like a wildfire, and used just long enough to suggest that war was a response that God would condone, hence the emphatic “God Bless America” rhetoric in the face of our quest for vengeance. If that deception is not “antichrist” in spirit, I don’t know what is.
George W Bush was supposedly a "compassionate conservative", a "born again" president, who was still getting used to his office in September of 2001. He was a man who won over the hearts of his conservative base by projecting upon them the image of a dust-ridden maverick, who promised them that all the big-government and corruption in Washington DC would be cleaned out (although history shows us that never has corruption been more rampant in American government than under the watch of George W Bush, and never have we had so much power in the hands of the federal Government). That wholesome and "down to earth" image was carefully crafted, and presented before the American people. Many bright and glimmering hopes for the 21st century filled the conservative base when we ushered in our 43rd president. George Bush, after all, was also supposed to be a Godly man, a man of integrity; A man who stood up for the poor and the oppressed. But over time he has proven to be not at all christian, but rather a theocrat. And the god Bush truly worships has been proven to be not Christ, but rather Mammon, or the god-money. Recently the former Deputy-Director of the office of Faith Based Initiatives, David Kuo has published a book entitled “Tempting Faith”, which gives an insider’s perspective of our supposed Christian leader's heart.
How did this deception get the better of us? Why do around 30% of Americans still believe Bush is a "Godly man"? Why is there no accountability for this double-talking, political wolf in sheep's clothing? To answer that, let us consider what the office of Faith-based initiatives implies. It is the joining of church and state. A state-influenced church is the most corruptable of entities because it joins two things that can never be one: the bride of Christ and the kingdoms of this world. It is written that a time will come when a new kingdom shall arise on the face of this earth. A kingdom built upon the un-cut rock foundation which is Christ himself, but it is that foundation rock that will demolish the kingdoms of man forever. That kingdom of God cannot and will not be superimposed over any other worldly kingdom. (Daniel 2:32-45) Remember also, Christ told Pilot plainly, "My kingdom is not of this world". Therefore any attempt to join church and state under any circumstances other than establishing a new state on the foundation of Christ is a manifestation of the Whore of Babylon riding on the Beast in Revelation 17.
The best representation of the deception of this theocracy rests in it's origin: the inaugeration of 2001, which was riddled with protests from both Democrats and Anarchists... in that scene of hostility the Christian base did not witness someone stealing the office he should not have received...the Christians did not sense any treachery in their man. Instead they saw the protests as a sort of persecution which the holy are warned they would endure. That perversion of logic has blanketed all accountability for Bush ever since. The 33% of Americans who have never stopped supporting Bush see him as a martyr, crucified by the "liberal media", and they support him like they think they would support Jesus, even though the neocon group has abandoned everything that Christ taught.
They have blinded themselves to the truth. They have embraced foolishness in exchange for the wisdom which God gives his faithful followers, through scripture. Eagerly choosing to be fed from the pulpet, rather than searching the word for themselves. They have upheld this mortal country while thoughtlessly trampling on the kingdom of God. They have been deceived by an antichrist and are blind to his lies, why? Because they are children of lies. Their selfrighteous, condemning, unforgiving, unrelenting religion has damned them to blindness. This 1/3rd of Amercans do not know Christ, because they still believes that George W Bush is of Christ. They have been misled, and seduced by the devil and false shepherds.
I only pray that God shows these blind people a greater mercy than they have ever known, or shown to others for that matter. And I rest assured that God is perfectly willing to do so for some of them who still cling to darkness, for it is God who first loved all of us, and it is God who reached through the chasm of sin in order to draw man unto Him. The Lord reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

love the jesus ad...
haha! thank you, me too.

Great post.
People acted out in taking vengeance into our own hands, instead of seeking justice, and that caused many to follow Bush in his response. And the shephards, the preachers, who should know better the teachings of Yahweh, willingly and gleefully led their flocks behind antichrst Bush.
I also thought the Jesus ad was right on and wonder why so many who profess to be followers avoid his actual teachings. They worship mammoth and the prosperity movement of so many preachers. They follow a false Jesus because of their own greed. I wish this ad could be on T.V. but of course that will never happen. I am enjoying your website. You truly are a follower of Christ.
wow. that was an amazing ad...
Thanks for your site, Kevin. If you have a few minutes, I'd be interested in your reaction to an essay I wrote a few months ago about Bush and Christianity. If the illustrated version doesn't load, you can find the original at CounterPunch. People who take the New Testament seriously should be the ones most upset with Bush and his administration. Greed, violence, and dishonesty. Since when did those become Christlike attributes?
I never knew I saw that whore of babylon at the end and his devil worshipping father
please excuse myself I am going to gauge my eyes out...
I have to find that picture of Barb Bush with the pearls and purple shirt...
speaking of bush
check out this hypocrisy I am unsure if you receive this or not...

the biggest lie and they have the nerve to tell people how bad drugs are...come on the history channel gives out a good report on this...
Indeed, the whole "just say no" propaganda line is the epitome of hypocrasy, once a person realises George Bush's intimate connection to the CIA drug trade in this nation over the past several decades...not to mention George jr's recreational history. Having past personal experience with drugs, I can say that the cartoon link you shared was reminiscent of a very bad trip.
JT, thank you for sharing your testemony. It is a blessing to meet brothers along this weird path of religious misinterpretation. So narrow is that road which leads to life...so many ways there are to fall along the wayside. We must all remain vigilant, humble, and prayerful in our respective walks. I am blessed to have read your own perspective of these troubled and deceptive times.
I've had my own experiences as well. I need some because to suppress the pain in both of my arms. Absolutely no phamaceutical drugs to take that. I recalled watching this loon propaganda in primetime when I was around 10 or 11. It completely brainwashed me into fear of drugs.
When I was a substitute teacher I had no other choice but to show it to a class and they were I think first or second graders. It was so horrible and those kids were so brainwashed. I received it from some other teacher.
History channel has a series of the drug war ranging from opium to mj, heroin, coke, and psychadelic drugs. It was so interesting and all of a sudden my friend and I saw the cable being interfered when the information was being given out. I started to notice as well. The government does not want anyone to watch these documentaries.
I have some sick ideas about just as of now..
this whole propaganda on the evils of pharmaceutical companies and the evil government there should definitely be some sort cartoon on that where the drugs come from and who supplies them, such as barry mc caffery evil drug czar who sent out the crack cocaine at the time. Yeah that's it
plus I will send you another email about another version of just say no and its definitely the chip...
Absolutely am intrigued by what your true statements are, however seducing the eloquency of the way you convey them is. You truly have a gifted talent to explain your beliefs in an appropriate and respectful voice. I believe that in you lies a book for the future if another bible or story were to be written your pieces would sing and rise above most others. Great prayers and faith will follow you from me that even one of your writings touches another as it has me.
