"Like an ox to the slaughter"


Doves:

There's just NO WAY I could endure 5 more of the president's
speeches on Iraq...nor did I watch but a few seconds of this one
and,  within which, he praised someone for their sincere Islamic
"faith".  Sorry.  What more could he say?  Is he trying to impress
us with his abundance of words?  Are we all supposed to share
his "vision" of a democratic Iraq which would "thereby" - like
dominoes - cause the Islamic world to say, "Oh wow, we really
missed it, didn't we!!!"  SO VERY UNREALISTIC!!!

Bush is SO isolated by his advisors who tell him not to "offend"
anyone that he is REALLY almost incapable of original thought.
The last 3 presidents have done a marvelous job of leading this
nation "like an ox to the slaughter" into the "ARMS" of the world.
The "Bushes" are just more "camouflaged"....draped with the
blessings of the worldly, Laodicean Christian church in the U.S.

   Romans 12
   1   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
   that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
   unto God, which is your reasonable service.
   2   And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
   by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
   good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
   3   For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that
   is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought
   to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to
   every man the measure of faith.

   1 Corinthians 1
   19   For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and
   will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
   20   Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer
   of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

GOD BLESS!!!

Calvin

P.S.

The local paper had a political cartoon showing the president
flipping in mid air after hitting a large boulder with the word "Iraq"
written on it.  It's sort of strange that just before the 1st of his
Iraq speeches, he hit "a rock"  - which apparently he did - and
caused his spill.  Iraq even sounds like "a rock"!!!
