Is Bush the Antichrist?

The Covenant News ^ | April 12, 2002 | Chuck Baldwin

[MatthewViti]

During the eight years of Clinton's presidency, I was repeatedly asked, "Chuck, do you think Bill Clinton is the antichrist?" (Of course, I answered no.) Therefore, it is more than interesting to me that since G.W. Bush became president no one has asked if I thought he was the antichrist. Not one single person! Instead, many people attribute to Bush god-like qualities, which actually makes him a better candidate than Clinton was.

You see, one of the chief characteristics of the coming antichrist is that he appears "as an angel of light." Therefore, an obvious reprobate such as Bill Clinton is immediately disqualified. The antichrist, by very definition, is a master deceiver. He must be someone who appears as good and benevolent. The bite is in his tail not in his tongue. In reality, Bush's angelic persona makes him much more dangerous than bad boy Billy.

For example, while Clinton was in the process of appointing numerous homosexual activists to his administration, copious letters from Christian leaders such as Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, and D. James Kennedy flooded America's Christian community. Appeals for protest and resistance were heard from pulpits throughout the country. A massive media campaign began against Clinton.

Today, however, President Bush is in the process of copying Clinton's numerous appointments of open homosexuals to high positions of government, but there are no letters, no warnings from pulpits, and no media campaigns opposing it. Just the opposite. Bush is being defended, lauded, and glorified for everything he does, no matter how unconstitutional or unscriptural it might be.

When Clinton only talked of legalizing embryonic stem cell research, he was castigated and condemned. Bush actually made the procedure legal, and yet, he was praised and honored. Clinton was denigrated when he tried to convince Israel to give up land for peace. Now, Bush is in the process of actually trying to create an independent Palestinian state for Israel's enemies (with Jerusalem as its capital, no less), yet continues to receive glowing adulation. If Clinton even suggested that America's immigration laws might need to be liberalized, he was denounced in the harshest terms; but Bush can actually grant limited amnesty to thousands of illegal aliens, and there is not the faintest whisper of protest.

Do you recall how Clinton was criticized for the "low lifes" he invited to the White House? Well, Bush recently invited wild man rocker, Ozzie Osbourne, to the White House. Have you heard any notable Christian leader take Bush to task for that?

You remember Ozzie Osbourne, don't you? He is the former front man for the heavy metal band, Black Sabbath. He is famous for stage antics such as biting the heads off birds and bats. His abuse of drugs and alcohol are also well known. Furthermore, Ozzie Osbourne desecrated The Alamo by pissing all over it. In spite of this, George W. Bush is said to be one of Osbourne's biggest fans. As such, Osbourne was recently invited to the White House for dinner. Have you heard any criticism of Bush for this?

Obviously, I do not believe President Bush is the antichrist any more than I believed Bill Clinton was. However, I do believe that Bush possesses more deceptive qualities than Clinton did and, therefore, is more dangerous. I also now understand more clearly how even "the elect" can be deceived. Bush' s acceptance by the overwhelming majority of Christian people proves the country is ready for the antichrist, whoever he is.

Fundamentalist nutcase. Where does this fruit even come up with this stuff. Apparently the only way he would be happy is if Bush acted like an Iranian Ayatollah and based his decisions on extremist interpretations of Holy scripture.

BTW, Ozzie Osbourne was never invited to the White House. He was invited the the White House Correspondents Dinner which is held at a hotel in DC. He was invited a year ago by the media, not by the White House. Since ozzie was the highlight of the night, Bush acknowledged him by joking that his Mom enjoys his music. Ozzie despite his checkered past has better family values than Bubba.

Be so kind as to link the article where Bush signed that into law.

[Salvation]

Great reflection, there!

[cynicom]

I will concede the strict interpretation is incorrect. However, no one was there that was not invited. I forget the person that brought the man, but I will bet his name was submitted and approved by Bush people.

Martin Luther said the antiChrist was the Pope. Of course THAT pope is no longer living. But that is a position of high trust and religious leadership from which an antiChrist could come. Powerful, world leader, all good, then becomes possessed and turns evil. But a pope isn't the only person in a position to do that. Just one of many world leaders who could start out good and turn evil.

[Howlin]

And with every post, I can tell that for you, the truth IS being a Bush Bot.

And if you consider lies and distortions "civil debate," it's no wonder you believe this crap.

[Darksheare]

Sorry, Howlin CAN'T come into the gutter.
The gutter is MINE, all MINE.
They'll have to find someplace else to go.
Nyah nyah, so there.

Lighten up cyn, will ya?

[Calpublican]

I did think about the original post; I think it's a hit piece designed to make guys like you wet your pants with joy.

BAM!! A direct strike to the head of the nail.

Ozzy Accepts Invite To White House Dinner

If the Commander in Chief breaks bread with Ozzy Osbourne next month, relax; George W. Bush is not a closet metalhead, nor is it a sign of the coming apocalypse.

The unlikely meeting would happen at the annual White House Correspondents

Association dinner, where the godfather of heavy metal and his wife, Sharon, will be the guests of TV news anchor Greta Van Susteren and Fox News Channel, according to a network spokesperson. Guests are invited by members of the association to sit at their respective tables, and the Osbournes accepted FNC's offer earlier this week.

I'm not playing your wide-eyed game.

[buffyt]

Ozzie despite his checkered past has better family values than Bubba.

HALLELUIAH TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way better family values than the bent rapist has!!!!!!!!!

[cynicom]

Garbage?? OK, fair enough. What did you receive as the main thrust of the author?? What was he trying to get people to think about???

[flashbunny]

He's trying to confuse everybody with reports prior to the fact and ignoring what actually happened. Everything he's posted say 'ozzy invited to white house according to ozzy', when in reality, all that happened was that ozzy went to the WH correspondents dinner (not held at the white house) as a guest of greta von eyejob.

It's selective quoting to support a weak argument. No such thing happened, but he only brings out pre-event reports that support his gobblygook. Anything factual disproves his claims, so he doesn't quote it.

You can tell exactly how well George W. Bush is doing by counting the number of Bush bashing threads on FR.

Bush' s acceptance by the overwhelming majority of Christian people proves the country is ready for the antichrist, whoever he is.

Bush's acceptance by the overwhelming majority of Christian people proves only that the country is ready for a Christian president.

[widowithfoursons]

No, it's a truism. Our Presidents have term limits, and the PM in Britain can get voted out. Stalin and Hitler had no such restraints. Not to mention Saddam.

[NormsRevenge]

Damn! I thought my Report Abuse button was broke for a minute. Never post in Miscellaneous unless nothing else fits,,, LOL.

Thanks, AM. See ya at the race tonight!:-)

[stands2reason]

However, I do believe that Bush possesses more deceptive qualities than Clinton did and, therefore, is more dangerous.

YOU BELIEVE THAT?????????????????

[cynicom]

Crap seems to be you main assessment of many things, and you use it when civility fails. Sorry about that.
