Mayan leaders announced that priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after US President George W. Bush visits next week.
"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a national association of indigenous people and peasant farmers, said Thursday.
Bush's seven-day tour of Latin America includes a stopover beginning late Sunday in Guatemala. On Monday morning he is scheduled to visit the archaeological site Iximche on the high western plateau in a region of the Central American country populated mostly by Mayans.
Tiney said the "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace. He also said the rites - which entail chanting and burning incense, herbs and candles - would prepare the site for the third summit of Latin American Indians March 26-30.
There are no "Mayans" left. Anyone claiming their mantle are shysters.
Historical accuracy demands human sacrifices in droves. The class system of ancient mesoamerica held power through human sacrifices. The price of human life was and still is cheap. Our media portrays the price of human life cheaper every day. We too have human sacrifices like abortion and murder-as-entertainment on tv and in the movies.
Funny............I don't think the terrorists think of our leader as being weak.......
What the hell is Bush doing down there anyway? What does he hope to accomplish other than generating protests in every jerkwater country he visits? Does he honestly believe that he can accomplish anything this late in his administration? If so he's being deluded by someone.
So easy, a Mayan can do it.
This from the folks who can't get a calendar to last past 2012.
We had to purify the White House when the guy left who desposited his DNA on the Great Seal, on the walls, on the drapes, in the sink, and on the floors, and those were the inanimate places.
This is pure politics, folks. The politics of hate and scorn coming from the extreme left toward a follower of Jesus Christ (they all hate us, folks........they really do).
Using Mayan (violent) culture to attack the President with just makes it silly.
I'm sure he is laughing at these nutcases just like we are.
I know for a fact that Laura used Clorox to do it with too......
Ahhh yes the wonderful Mayan culture. Toss a ball through the ring, lose your head.
Did you honestly mean to say this? Seriously?? You expect him to sit home and twiddle his thumbs because it's 'this late in his administration?'
The left would love that.
What do you expect from Human Sacrificers.....
"Latinos" takes in a lot of territory, you need to clarify what you are talking about.
So what are you saying? He's bored and wanted something to do? He ignored the area during the first 6 years and all of a sudden it's like "Gee, let's go down and visit our friends down yonder." Well, we're kind of thin on friends down there right now. While he wasn't looking Brazil and Bolivia and Ecuador and Chile all shifted hard left and aren't interested in anything the President might have to say. Chavez has more standing there than the president does. So now he'll wander around South America, accomplish nothing except generate a bunch of demonstrations for the MSM to film, and come back with nothing changed. And that's going to help he legacy how?
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
