The more I think about this, the more I'm sure nothing will be done.

I bet she could have been even more obscenely negative toward our troops and their mission. I bet she could have openly called for revolution against Bush and nothing would be done.

She enjoys the protection the Democrats in the House and Senate have. They can say anything, anything at all, and nothing. will. be. done.

And should we even seriously TRY to get something done, we are no better than McCarthyites...we are Ashcroftians, repressing the freedom of speech of the opposition, and blah blah blah.

(Because they've forgotten 9/11. They've forgotten why we did all of this. And they think this is Just Another Political Issue.)

Lord God, all the earth praises Your name. And on our Lord's Day sabbath we pause, according to Your example, and spend time specifically to worship You and to participate in Your rest.

Yet there are those who steal peace from the earth with their murders and their thefts. We pray that You bring them all to Justice. Especially, Lord, we pray for the soon capture of the murderer Saddam Hussein and for the execution of Justice upon him.

We pray that churches throughout America would reject him and those who, like Hillary Clinton, Jacques Chirac, and Howard Dean, support Saddam Hussein with their anti-American propaganda. We pray that you silence these evil ones who would destroy the morale of our troops, our troop families, and our nation.

Stand up for Your people, O Lord.

We pray in the name of Jesus; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
