[Partisan Gunslinger]

There will come a time when people will pray for the mountains to fall on them for standing with a man who falsely claims to be the Messiah. Jesus will come back to do battle and I will certainly stand for war then, as I have stood for some wars in the past.

The pope and Obama are on the same side in my opinion.

“The pope and Obama are on the same side in my opinion.”

Well, confusion is common. Sad, but common.

The pope is perhaps remembering that after Bush went to war, he did nothing substantive to protect the ancient Christian communities in that state. Look at the result: those communities lie in ruins because of his his relative indifference. The irony is that many American Christians are more protective of the Jewish state than they are of the Christians who have lived in Syria since the time of Christ. Assad is a bad man, but at least under his rule, Christians will not be driven from their homes as they will be if the Islamists come into power.
