Bush takes swipes at Obama policies

Sometimes I’ve wondered . . .

had the globalists slated W for the office long before his conversion experience . . .

. . . and discounting all such . . .

went with him anyway?

[ohioWfan]

It's not your battle, Quix, but I sure would appreciate your prayer as to how I should proceed from here.

Blessings to you, as well! And thank you again for your witness.

May God protect this country from the assault on the unborn, Judeo-Christian ethics, and the freedom of God's people to speak without fear. We are in danger of losing all that matters in the scheme of eternity, and we MUST fight the good fight!

[Quix]

INDEED.

And you for yours.

Blessings.

BLESSED BE THE NAME; THE WORD; THE WAYS; THE GOALS; THE PLANS; THE WORK OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY; GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.

[ohioWfan]

Amen and AMEN!

[ohioWfan]

Before you leave let me say that you have lifted my spirits and given me a spiritual encouragement that I much needed.

Thank you again!

[Quix]

You are exceedingly welcome.

You are a blessing, to me, too.

PRAISE GOD!

iron sharpening iron . . .

may there be more sharpening than sparks! LOL.

LUB

Heading off to gardening and pottery shortly.

[Quix]

Prayers, sure.

I need much such, too, just now.

Thx.

[ohioWfan]

You have my prayer, brother, for whatever your need is.

May God wrap you in His loving arms and carry you through. He is Faithful!

No, SFB (mkjessup), I'm calling you and your ilk dolts. You waste more hours of your precious life fighting online with people who are largely your political allies than you do taking on the real enemy of the conservative movement. Such stupidity is the very definition of a dolt.

Whatever.

"pffffft"

You're not worth any more of a response than that.

[Quix]

MUCH appreciated.

Blessings,

[mkjessup]

I think some of your criticisms of W are quite reasonable. However, it appears that the enemy has inserted within the W related issues . . . a root of bitterness into your being. That’s more serious . . . for you . . . than whatever W did or didn’t do to/for you personally.

I appreciate that Quix, but to clarify, what might appear to you (or others) isn't so much bitterness, as it is *contempt* for those who would elevate a past President of these United States into some sort of latter day 'cult of the personality'.

Our highest spiritual allegiance is to Almighty God, and when I see the rabid and nearly unrestrained adulation of another human being, an adulation that approaches (and often times achieves) worship of that individual, I am most certainly filled with contempt for them, and if there is bitterness, it is the bitterness of knowing that such fools have chosen to elevate that which is not worthy of elevation for as I've already said "God is no respecter of persons". America has never had, and was never intended to have, a king, which is why George Washington wisely chose to accept instead the role of President.

Our highest political allegiance as Americans should be to our Constitution, not to the occupant of the Oval Office, be they Democrat, Republican or Independent. Our sole criteria for judging the rightness or folly of any President ought to be their adherence to, or their violation of, that Constitution.

We've already had demonstrated that the current Pres_ _ent views the Constitution with contempt and hesitates not one iota in trampling it.

The fact is, George W. Bush is not without blame in HIS failure to honor that Constitution *and* his Oath of Office.

Now ohioWfan has stated that she's real "angry" with me, so I propose a little experiment: go take a real good look at ohioWfan's FR home page, and imagine if you will, instead of all those pictures and images of George W. Bush (3 dozen of them I believe), imagine that they are (if only for a moment) pictures of Barrack Hussein 0bama.

Who among us would deny that such excessive imagery of 0bama suggests that the poster was worshiping the Usurper, was adoring and idolizing that wicked man, and clearly was not in their right mind?

Where does one cross the line between mere admiration, and unrestrained, unjustified adulation and worship?

I'm looking forward to the weekend, hope yours is great.

[mkjessup]

I have genuinely confessed my sin here, but I don't believe that being lied about repeatedly (and called a lesbian, btw), requires me to lie back and take further abuse

You know, that universal rule about 'reaping what you sow' is what came into play, i.e., when you start cracking wise about someone's gender, suggesting that someone you know is male, is actually female, and continuing on with snide remarks about that person moving to California for gender reassignment, it shouldn't surprise you when you are hoisted upon your own petard.

Get over it.

[Quix]

You make many good points.

However, It’s a bit tricky to be, imho, quite

THAT CONFIDENT

that someone has made an idol of a President

“merely” because of the intensity of their cheer-leading.

You may well be correct. You may well be incorrect.

And, like hate, I think contempt is a very tricky thing to ‘own.’

I have contempt for satan, Shrillery, OThuga, Scuba Teddy, Boxerface; Puhlousey; . . . Ted Turner . . . because they have persistently demonstrated their traitorousness, sympathy with & work in behalf of satan’s goals . . . etc.

I might even have some contempt for some FREEPER naysayers ACTIONS AND WORDS that are so destructive on UFO and END TIMES threads. Yet, I still recognize that they, too, are flawed human creatures as I am . . . who are somewhat trapped by their personal backgrounds, their existential thrownness; their biases; their personalities; their recent and historic experiences; their relational contexts; their philosophical blinders etc. etc. etc.

. . . just as I am.

I desperately need grace and prefer to extend grace to them. Most of the time, God enables me to manage to do that.

Blessings,

[mkjessup]

Amen to everything you’ve said.

I understand what you’re saying about being confident, the fact is I have the confidence of my convictions, and if I am wrong, it will be Almighty God that opens my eyes to that.

Meanwhile, I’ll continue to say what I think, call it the way I see it, and let the chips fall where they may.

Bless You.

[Quix]

THANKS for your kind words.

I certainly respect your words here, a lot:

A word to the wise - or not.

When you revealed your misogyny by referring to estrogen just because I didn't agree with your preposterous and emotionally charged arguments, you asked for far more than I gave back to you.

You began the personal insults about gender, mk. I was responding in kind.

That being said, I have already admitted that it was wrong for me to respond in kind, since I am a Christian, and an adult with a conscience, and I should not have played into your hands by behaving as you were behaving. When you called me a lesbian (completely unsolicited), I should have walked away, understanding that you were willing sink to levels that are beneath any decent person, let alone one who calls himself a follower of Christ, and would blame me for what you had done.

Trust me, young man, it will not happen again.

btw, I have "gotten over it," but I will not "get over" your using the Name of Jesus Christ to attack me with politically. It is beyond the pale.

I understand that you feel no guilt for what you've done, the names, the blasphemy, the incessant lies........but it is up to you to deal with that before Your Maker, as it is up to me to deal with my own sins.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you for revealing that you are "filled with contempt" for me, and other Bush supporters.

And thank you for revealing that you believe you have the power to do what no other human being can do and determine sin by your own deduction. Not by proof, but by assumption. (the passage of Scripture "Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart," clearly does not apply to you. YOU believe you have the power that only God has).

Perhaps it would be valuable for you to direct your "contempt" at your political enemies rather than fellow conservatives and deeply loyal patriots, and to focus on hating Barack Obama as much as you hate George W. Bush.......and perhaps to consider that at the heart of your anger is envy.

At any rate, this post has revealed much about your anger, your inability to discuss without derision, your feeling no guilt at calling me vile names, and your arrogance before a Holy and Righteous God.

[Marysecretary]

Well, besides you and me, not anyone I know, LOL. Just kidding folks...

[ohioWfan]

One last word about my homepage, mk....

I haven't touched it, or even looked at it for two years, or more.

Most of the photos on there were put there soon after 9/11 until the War in Iraq began.

If you are open to a little truth, you also saw on that page a young man who just happens to be my son. If any one person can be singled out as my "hero" it is he. I mentioned in an earlier post that if I had any other god before God, it would be my husband and family, and that young soldier and his three siblings are part of the only real "idolatry" I have a problem with. I adore them........sometimes beyond all reason. But I'm sure the Lord forgives me when I confess that problem before him.

You obviously feel quite free to judge me based on 7 year old photos on my homepage, and you are free to do so. But, had I made that homepage in 1982 (had there been an internet and a FR then) and had Ronald Reagan's photos on it (I would have, because I adored him too), I wonder if you would be so quick to judge my soul and condemn me for the sin of idolizing RR (which would have been equally wrong).

Once again, I understand that you do not have the humility to recognize and feel badly for your sin, and I have seen that you enjoy belittling and verbally abusing anyone who defends President Bush, and not just me, and have seen ample evidence that you feel no guilt in hurting others with your nasty words, but I wonder if the Holy Spirit isn't pricking you just a little bit to back down from your arrogant condemnation.

Perhaps some day you will be honest enough admit how very far out of line you've been, but I won't be waiting for it.

I still pray that it may some day occur, and in the mean time will be praying for a spiritual healing for your intense anger. Bitterness and hatred are not from the Lord.

[Quix]

and perhaps to consider that at the heart of your anger is envy.

I don’t think one can be confident about the ‘envy’ accusation. Sounds like as serious a judgment as some that were lobbed in your direction.
