God Bless President Bush

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.
I agree completely.
My, how he do run on...
God Bless President Bush
What a hypocrite? You complain Im not reading your posts and that you want me to debate you on what you said and then you address a whole bunch of side issues that I never raised with you and could care less about.
You said you wanted to debate why there was a double standard on Bush. You presume that there is one. The things that were listed in the article which is what we are talking about, not whatever is on your mind, none of them were true. Nada. Not one. So how are we to debate when the entire premise of the article is faulty. As far as double standard, to be fair, I believe Clinton did a lot of grappy stuff but I really, really doubt he had anyone murdered much less the three hundred that a lot of tin foil folks around here claim. So what. If you dont want to comment on what is being discussed stay the hell out of the thread.
Are either of them the anti-Christ. No. The article was totally stupid. The anti-Christ lived close to 2000 years ago. Nero Caesar of Rome (died about 73 AD). There may be a second coming of Christ and it may happen tomorrow (or perhaps a million years from now) but the things forcasted to occur before his return occured before the end of the first century. Ive had it with the morons on this thread.
You are presuming there is a double standard. What has Bush done wrong thats been covered up, etc.?
I assume to some it is nonsense.
For all those who are unwilling to answer the question - let me rephrase this - suppose Clinton were Presdident 9/11 and somewhere, somehow, someway, who know, just came out of the woodwork, a picture appeared of Clinton with someone who was on the terrorist watch list - what would have been your reactions - Goodness is that plain and bland enough for you.
The picture is there - and I will research it - but of course, that will be too late - the thread will have moved on.
To blindly follow someone is scary -
I wanted someone to put Clinton in the same situation Pres. Bush has been in and then consider how you would have reacted. Where does all this Clinton is/was bad-----there was never any questin of that. Read the post - then comment.
I lived through the Clinton years also - I don't need any one to tell me how bad he was/is. Read the post - read the post.
I am aware that many do believe in the Second Coming. I hope it's true. Among those who believe it would be a very small fringe group who would attribute Anti-Christ inclination to Bush, and would have no effect on the election. His big problem is the left since they like to think he's Hitler. Even otherwise fairly moderate liberals are mouthing this idiocy.
It must be a good time to be a psychiatrist!!
Oh please!!!!
So because you believe that PResident Bush is a man of wonderful character - we should not question anything he does? That is scary. We know what he shows us - unless, of course, you know him personally and that would make a difference. I don't. I am looking at his behavior and I do question him. I just wish more would. To question a politician is not a bad thing. It is a very good good. It is a must and a duty as a free citizen.
Now the one thread I read about this consisted of - nothing to it - Bush is wonderful - how dare anyone say anything bad about our president.
As for the blind faith - I think I will compile a group of the posting concerning President Bush. They are frightening. No politician should be given that must trust - none.
On the contrary - my questions have not been answered - just things thrown at me from - trying to make Clinton look good to distaste for the PResident. Oh, that's right - I did get - President Bush is such a great man he wouldn't do anything wrong.
No distaste for the PResident - just concern about some of his policies - I realize even asserting my right as a citizen and questioning things seems like an attack to some.
