Bush aims to reach Christians on Day of Prayer

BY ALAN COOPERMAN

Washington Post


WASHINGTON - President Bush's participation in a National Day of Prayer ceremony with evangelical Christian leaders at the White House will be shown tonight, for the first time in prime-time viewing hours, on Christian cable and satellite TV outlets nationwide.

For the president, the broadcast is an opportunity to address a sympathetic evangelical audience without the risk of alienating secular or non-Christian viewers, because it will not be carried in full by any of the major television networks. Frank Wright, president of the National Association of Religious Broadcasters, said more than a million evangelicals are expected to see the broadcast.


She made no apologies about the task force's exclusion of Muslims and others outside of the "Judeo-Christian tradition" from ceremonies planned by the task force on Capitol Hill and in state capitals across the country. "They are free to have their own national day of prayer if they want to," she said. "We are a Christian task force."

The White House press office and presidential adviser Karl Rove's office did not respond to calls seeking comment on the National Day of Prayer observances.

Boy, I bet that's going to get the American Commie Lovers Union (aka ACLU) all huffy. I love it. If muslims want to practice islam, GO ELSEWHERE. This is a Christian country. If that does not suite them, they can leave in peace or leave in pieces. The choice is theirs.

I am so sick of this tolerance PC crap I could punch somebody. The ACLU want us to be tolerant of other religions and 'life styles' (i.e. - perversions). Be tolerant of everything except Christianity.

Note to ACLU: I will no longer be tolerant of islam or homosexuality or anything thing else that is against the Word of God. Best thing for you ACLU pinko commie punks to do is STAY AWAY FROM ME!

/rant off

Man, I'm really need to lay off the coffee in the afternoons.

Just reported on our local news in Virginia, a military plane has gone down in Franklin County which is close to Roanoke, VA. Two men were able to eject safely from the plane. Details are still sketchy.

Thought to be an F15 or 16 military plane. The pilot spoke to an eyewitness on the ground after he ejected and used the eyewitness's cell phone to dial his command post. The phone number began with 919 which is the Raleigh-area area code. Said they were flying at 5700 feet and everything was fine. Then all of a sudden boom. Said that maybe they flew into a flock of birds. Eyewitnesses on the ground said they saw flames out the back of the plane and that the plane came apart. However these are first reports and I guess they can change as more information is gathered.

Local news said the area was being evacuated in case there was anything suspicious on board the aircraft, whatever that means.

Do birds fly at that height? And wasn't there another military plane which crashed at the RDI airport about a month ago?
