Dowd Says She's Going to Heaven, Conservatives Are Going to Hell
The leftist media establishment keeps showing why its hateful bias only helped President Bush get re-elected. The New York Times' common scold Maureen Dowd provided the best example yet on "The Chris Matthews Show" Sunday.
Dowd, stewing throughout the program about the people's latest rejection of the Democrats and everything they stand for and don't stand for, gave a bizarre response at the end when Matthews asked his guests to tell him something he didn't know.
"The Rapture is coming," Dowd told her host and fellow Democrat, and "you and I are going up," but "all these hypocritical conservatives" who want to tell everyone what to do are not.
Perhaps she was joking, but her was face was as sour and dour as ever. Matthews seemed startled by her oddball outburst and quickly changed the subject.
Maureen, please continue to spout away and provide further "assistance" to your party in the next elections. And stop the presses: Someone at the New York Times believes in heaven and hell?
BINGO!
I'm one of those white, male, conservative, Bible-believing Christians who voted for George W. Bush this year.
And yet, my own version of the Bible contains a quotation from my Savior which says, "Don't judge others, or you'll be judged in the same way."
ABOVE ALL, I understand that too say "It is not for you to decide who goes to Heaven and who doesn't."
For that reason, I would never presume to say that another person will or will not go to heaven.
And yet I -- and millions others like me -- are accused of being "self-righteous" by Maureen Dowd and her ilk.
Wasn't it P. J. O'Rourke who observed that "Liberals will never get to heaven by giving their neighbor's checking account to the poor"?
These congenital idiots don't realize how frightening they are with their snide remarks and noxious views. They can't even pretend to be rational! It's as if some sickness has entered them and made them delusional. The urge to redistribution is indeed what turns them into monsters.
I am such a bigot, I confess. Irish Catholics seem to be loud, bullying and dishonest, in my opinion.
It annoys me that the Left, and even Freepers are acting as if only religious people voted for Bush. There are many of us who are not affiliated with any religion; it just never came up except as a caution from elders, i.e., "talking about religion, like writing letters to editors, is the first sign of insanity."
All of my biases against these people are confirmed when I see and hear Senator Kennedy bellowing that President Bush is a liar, when I see and hear Chris Matthews barking at decent people and behaving as if he had no manners. Watching Lawrence O'Donnell vilifying John O'Neil made me physically ill. Even though I know for a certainty that videos of that incident drove people who never watched the original show into the Bush camp, I prefer that it had not happened.
Look at the Catholics in politics and the media today;
they are practising Catholics. Terry MacAuliffe, Paul Begala, James Carville, John Podesta, John McLaughlin, Patrick Buchanan (was it tribal loyalty that kept him from silencing O'Donnell?) ex-seminarian Michael Moore, and too many others.
They all seem feckless and utterly without loyalty to a constitutional form of government. They worship "big guys," men who make it to the top however vile and incompetent to govern, such as former President Clinton. Really, they seem to have the mentality of serfs.
They act as if the duties of ordinary life, of ordinary citizenship were a big joke. They seem to have some kind of Catholic guy thing going where they treat women as dream objects (Matthews and his 9/11 widow) or nonenities. Maybe because they went to all male Catholic schools where Father Pat or Brother Dominic used their fists to "civilize" them. Don't forget, they are the civilized ones and we Bush supporters are the savages who need foreign correspondents sent out to the benighted backwaters we inhabit to report on our extraordinarily bizarre existences.
By their own admission, at least Matthews admitted it in an early interview, the Irish are envious and resentful of those they perceive as superior to them. I truly believe that Matthews thinks Scooter Libby looks down on him because he is Irish and low-class and not a preppie. If it occurred to Matthews that more than likely Mr. Libby has never given him an instant's thought, Matthews' would explode in frustration.
Matthews' disgusting remark that the SwiftVets were jealous of John Kerry because Kerry had "done so well" betrays more about his shriveled self than it does about men who lived honorable and successful lives and for love of country put themselves and their families under enemy fire once again.
In his essay, "On Good Nature," William Hazlitt gives a spot on description of the Irish, although O'Donnell and and the rest of them might find it flattering.

A Dem associate just called. When I told him what I was writing here, he sighed. "Those two (Matthews and O'Donnell) cost us more votes than Theresa or the magic hat from the Cambodia non-trip."
your quote better sums up the state of the democrats.
We certainly don't want them to listen to themselves - they might stop.
I don't know, it's never stopped them before.
Hey Maureen....know Jesus? Didn't think so...
AMEN, brother! er, I mean, um, RIGHT ON!
ROFLOL! Altho, if she's a virgin, I'll eat my two cowboy hats!

Well they did peak out during my senior year in high school and freshman year at LSU.
Not until the midway point of the tribulation, He has to be in heaven at the rapture to accuse us so Christ can defend us....
One of my favorite cartoons is a Mallard Fillmore, he is sitting in his lazy-boy watching tv and says "every five minutes the mainstream media lay a lecture on us about how wrong it is to stereo-type muslims the way the mainstream media do christians."
Sterilize them both first (both just in case!!)
I think its important to remember that no one shall enter the gates of heaven by their own works lest any man shall boast. We all sin and fall short of the glory of god and only through a personal relationship with Christ will anyone enter the kingdom of heaven.
It is said and speculated that there is one sin which is so great that it will not be forgiven. I happen to believe it is spelled out in Rev 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Therfore those who support baby murderers and who commit such atrocities have the same possibility as those who lust, or steal, or swear, or any other sin to enter heaven. While we despise such things, as we should, we must not suggest that they are incapable of salvation, as it is a gift freely given to all from god's love for all of us.
"Therfore those who support baby murderers and who commit such atrocities have the same possibility as those who lust, or steal, or swear, or any other sin to enter heaven."
I understand this totally. But that requires repentance and knowing a lot of people like this, the one thing they have in common is that they don't see what they are doing as wrong, the first step in repentance.
It is my utter prayer that these people see the error of their ways and turn to God for forgiveness in their part of the murder of 40+ million unborn babies. I do not want to see any human being end up in hell, but they do have free will and can make their own choices.
And the only unforgiveable sin is that of blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
Matthew 12:32
