LOL! well done, Pappy.
A whoopie pie is not like an Oreo. It's equivalent is a Devil Dog.
Whoopie pie, Devil Dog. All I know is I could use one right now!

Amish man praying to God: Please God, Smite George Bush's enemies.
Actually, the closest thing would probably be "Du kannst mich mal!" which literally means "You can just . . " It's shorthand for a variety of adjurations to anatomically impossible acts, mostly the equivalent of "You can just kiss my . . ." just as "shove it" is short for a more explicit expression.

I believe if God moves on the Amish, they will vote. What is impossible with man is possible with God.
They're starting to settle here because land is getting scarce in PA. They aren't as strict as Amish. They drive cars, have nicely and tastefully decorated homes, neat as a pin. They've started small businesses and construction work here, too. I think they're a plus for any area.
Yes, the Mennonites are great neighbors. They are honest in all their dealings and their kids are very respectful to elders (my wife has taught several). A firend of mine who has contacts in their community says their ethical focus is so fine-tuned because their theology says they can lose salvation through a bad life. Thus, they heavily emphasize works.
Sorry, what's L8R?
At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.”
I lived in Hartville, Ohio. My modern home community was only two minutes from Amish farms. I lived on a circle and could not hear traffic, but I could hear the clip clip of horse drawn carriages.
Could the 10% of Amish voters make a difference?
I don't think so, as the millions of ignorant, homosexuals, uneducated, American hating people from Ohio and Pennsylvania that vote Democratic swamp the number of Amish voters.
Pinging you to another 'heart-warmer' :-)
The South invented 'em. We call 'em Moon Pies. Now pass me an RC Cola......
After reading this I shortly thereafter was looking at pictures of the folks in Bama & Fla lining up to get gasoline, and of all the devastation caused by Ivan.
I couldn't help but think that Ivan would not have the debilitating effect on the Amish as it does us modern folks
The Amish are akin to some 'old-fashioned' farmers in present-day Ireland.
And by the way, I'm not sure of what sect, but I used to live around the Amish and they, like the aforementioned Irish, took great care in producing their own libations!
Really genuine and very pleasant folks, as well as intelligent.
Why would you hope this is a misquote? I don't think it is and I am very thankful it is not.
I really don't think Christians need to be afraid of what those mean ol' liberals say about our silly belief in the Creator and our faith in Him.
