Don't you get it folks?
All this crazy shit that has been going on for 8 years, and seems to get stranger by the day is all happening because these idiots are just keeping you busy while they bring on "The Rapture." What else could explain it?

George Bush, Cheney, Rummy, McCain and the rest of the warmongering clowns,
are not religious.

They use religion to cull votes from the unhinged in our society.

They are all evil pieces of shit. They are slaves to money, greed and
corruption and they damn well know it. They love it. They don't care
about anyone else, but their own selfish wants. They love to live life
this way and laugh at the little people who make under 100 million a year.

There is no religion on Earth that justifies this behavior. There's no way
that murder, lying, stealing, greed, corruption, abuse of power, torture,
destroying the Earth, and turning your back on the poor, disabled and vulnerable--
fits into any religious paradigm. Unless there's a "Church of the Corrupt,
Rabid Jackals" of which I'm unaware.

They're religious and Bible-toting when they need votes. Their religion is part of
their stagecraft.

8. People are only religious when it suits them
Words lie, the money trail does not...

Cheney and the NSC are the ones pulling the war strings that lead the military industrial complex. Remember Cheney was Secretary of Defense from 1989-1993.

President Bush's financial fortunes appear to have declined over the past seven years, with his family assets dropping as low as $6.5 million, according to disclosure forms released yesterday.

Bush and his wife, Laura, were worth at least $9 million and as much as $24 million at the start of his term. The Bushes could still be worth as much as $20 million now, according to the financial documents filed with the Office of Government Ethics, which requires assets to be reported only within broad ranges.

Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have fared better, reporting assets of at least $21 million and as much as $99 million, the forms show. The Cheneys are at least as wealthy as they were when the vice president entered office, and may have added as much as $29 million to their net worth during his tenure.

President Bush's biggest asset is a 1,600-acre family ranch near Crawford, Tex., which is listed as being worth between $1 million and $5 million. Most of the Bush family holdings are in real estate and a blind trust.

Last year, Bush reported assets of a minimum of $7.5 million.

The forms show that Bush and Cheney both received a variety of gifts last year, mostly related to outdoor activities. Among the gifts Bush kept were a $6,160 bicycle given to him by a Wisconsin bike manufacturer, custom Hawaiian shirts and fly-fishing equipment.

Cheney received a two-day vacation and a book on duck calls from the Greenbriar Lodge of Carlisle, Ark., valued at $1,600. He also received an $801 gift package from the Fox television show "24," including director's chairs, coffee mugs and DVDs.

The annual financial disclosure forms filed with the ethics office report assets and income figures in wide categories, making it impossible to determine exact figures on wealth. Tax forms released last month, however, showed 2007 income of $924,000 for the Bushes and $3 million for the Cheneys.
