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.

DUBYA LOVES OZZY Apr 4 2002
By Andy Lines, Us Editor SCARY or what? George W Bush has invited Ozzy Osbourne to dinner at the White House.
The war-crazy US President is a big fan of the heavy metal star who once bit off a bat's head during one particularly wild stage act.
WILDMAN: Ozzy
And Mr Bush is hooked on Ozzy's MTV show The Osbournes - a fly-on-the-wall docusoap about life in the singer's Beverly Hills home.
But the Black Sabbath rocker is baffled as to why Mr Bush chose him and his family as dinner guests.
Ozzy, 53, said: "We have been invited to the White House to have dinner with the president.
"I don't know why that is. I thought I'd be on a wanted poster up on the wall, not asked to his place for tea."
Whether Mr Bush understands Ozzy's thick Brummie accent remains to be seen.
But it doesn't stop him and millions of others tuning in to watch the bizarre habits of the musician and his family on his warts-and-all MTV show.
Cameras spent six months following their every move in his luxury home.
They recorded Ozzy and his wife Sharon struggling to cope with the exploits of their children Jack, 15, and 16-year-old Kelly.
Their other daughter Aimee, 18, moved out after refusing to take part.
The Osbournes is now MTV's most successful show in the channel's 20-year history. Ratings match established US shows like Sex And The City.
Ozzy said: "What you see is what you get. Hand on my heart, there are no scripts and we don't rehearse our lines."
Sharon added: "I knew the show would be big. Ozzy is not the kind of guy who comes home carrying his briefcase at the end of a hard day's work."
The GOP tent-expansion must go on!
Wildman rocker Ozzy Osbourne has been invited to dinner at the White House by US president George W Bush, according to reports. It follows the hugely successful launch of a new reality TV show following the UK singer and his family.....
While I don't agree with the author on much of the article, this is a valid point. Doesn't the Bible say that many will be deceived by the anti-Christ? Understand, I'm not agreeing with the author at all, however the person that does come, from my understanding, will at first be loved by many, not just liberals or conservatives, but many. I do however believe the world is being set into place for an anti-Christ figure. Where is he? Has he even been born? Only God knows that
As for unscriptual, I think Bush is doing more scriptual than some of the past Presidents we've had. He's at least a lot more moral than the last man we had in office and that is a good thing
The White House DENIED it within days. But never mind that.
The man was WHERE?
Since when is the White House Correspondents Dinner held *at* the White House? And how does the president have any say over who journalists invite?
