Are you listening to this shit on CNN?
Kyra Phillips and Barbara Starr...

They have said twice "the Enemy is Mother Nature"; "Mother Nature attacked us"

Then a bunch of talk that sounds like they are justifying the setting up of a religious military dictatorship...

"People are looking for something to believe in" talking about how the military solves the problem of bureacracy because one person gives orders and everyone has to follow...

very scary; and these poeple have no regard for religious diversity; as if there is only one religion.

1. Tell Pat Robertson - "Mother Nature" is a pagan concept.

6. Like "Nature's God"?
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

11. Didn't Pat Robertson once stop a hurricane from slamming VA?
Of course, Hurricane Gloria went on to hit Boston & Long Island, causing about 300 million dollars in damage.

Oops.

9. It is like none of those reporters ever
spoke and got upset and angry? The whole news crew was up in arms about it. Now they have to step back into the party line. They need to look at the footage of the videos taken when people needed help most of all. It all comes flooding back, all the emotions...

15. Is Bush getting ready to storm Heaven?
These people are pathetic. Magical thinking: We've been attacked! By Mother Nature, a concept as easy to define and counterattack as "terrorism."

Okay Bushie, if you're going to attack Heaven, you're probably going to need to start with siege tower. Check Genesis 9 for instructions.

phew...they were really on top of that one! They've been kicking her ass around for the past 5 years. Al Gore was always soft on Mother Nature & that's why he's such a liberal pussy!:rant:

29. That begs the question. Why promote mother nature as the enemy?
Remember every day is opposite day with the Bush Administration.

So if a Bush journalist (on the Bush payroll?*)promotes mother nature as the enemy, then I believe we can safely conclude she is most assuredly NOT our enemy. Decent assumption we can conclude from past patterns? I think so.

So, why would they promote this lie? Perhaps because they don't want us to look further?

Which means of course, to LOOK FURTHER.

I know there have been naysayers trying to stop further investigation of weather manipulation, but it is indeed there and a very legitimate fact. Take a look at the HAARP project in Alaska.

What is the load you're trying to feed us now. Is CNN in the GOD business. Did you get the WORD from above? It's GOD's fault. So let's set up a Military Theocracy to handle the disaster? Absolute B.S. Get real, report the news, and only the news. Tell Barbara to SHUT THE F__CK UP!!

37. Mother Nature and the Corps of Engineers were working together quite well
until * cut the funding for the levee and global warming revved up the hurricanes. Gaea isn't going to bend over and let * stick it to her like so many stupid Americans do.

Like the commercial used to say, "It's not nice to fool (with) Mother Nature."

Do you have a real quote for that? This sounds seriously wicked, and should be on mediamatters.org.

46. That was pretty much it
it isn't a verbatim quote, but quite near it. Media matters could pull it off their archives, I'm sure they record all cable news channels 24/7.

It is just very disheartening to hear people talk about God on the news; that's just not the place for it. How can you pretend to be objective while injecting a single religious facet? Disgusting.

now the environment will be added to the 'terrorist watch list' and 'the axis of evil'. There goes the rest of the funding to help the environment; we sure want to stop the funding of any enviro-terrorist supporting the evil environment.
