I love it! Rumsfeld was a great asset to the US, and it was most unfortunate that they managed to force him out.
Take it up with Osama.
He sounds just like our founding fathers who knew the bible well and who many considered the ruling principal of their lives.
Of course in the vernacular of modern Democrats, they are to be considered terrorists.
Strange how are enemies don’t share your concern.
Further would it still be OK to Pray when our children are being blown up in the school yards of America thanks to Obama’s idiot dismantaling of the processes that have kept us safe post 911, or would that be making this look like a holy war?
If only. Try "Das Kapital" and "The Communist Manifesto" instead.
I agree that they’ve been waging holy war against Jews and Christians since the 7th century. But that doesn’t mean we need to descend to their level. Let’s just be disciplined enough to view it as a justified self-defense and leave the Christian holy war out of it. It gains us no advantage. When we fight for justice we are fighting for God, but Justice will do as our justification just fine. Is there any harm in leaving it at that?
Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves, some great Religious Teacher once said.
And the problem is?
Descending to their level would be deliberately attacking their women and children and making no distinction between innocents and combatants.
Make no mistake: we need to understand that we are already are in a holy war. It was predicted by Jesus and written about by John.
LOL
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
(Chorus)
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
(Chorus)
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
(Chorus)
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
(Chorus)
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.
Because we had Dick Cheney.
A holy war on their part does not mean we should sink to their level and validate their belief that it is a holy war.
Wow, I always wanted to see a socialists head explode.
God bless him!
I still say we are not "sinking to their level" by agreeing with the muzzies that this is a holy war. To them, it is.
We need to recognize it for what it is. Look at it through you enemies eyes and you can gain a clearer understanding (not you, personally, everyone as a whole).
Again, sinking to their level would be us beheading and indiscriminately killing non-combatants, just like they do. Besides, Christians use scripture on a daily basis in their walk with the Lord, as we put on our "Armor of God" each morning.
We can recognize they view it as a holy war and engage it with that consideration, but for the US to view it as a holy war goes against what even the Founders thought.
I don't understand. Please explain.
