Our soldiers
Who art in Iraq
Harried be thy name
Give them this day, after years of fighting, adequate body armor
Instead of prayers
Lead us to peace
And get the hell out of Iraq

Shazaam!

damn "tax and spend liberal"! Laughing

freedom isn't free. <yawn...> either is war.

give till it hurts. don't worry, it'll never hurt as much as being maimed or killed.

so what ever happened to that famous "87 billion dollars that john kerry voted against (because of the last minute amendment to the bill, that made the 18 billion dollar loan for reconstruction into a non-repayable gift of money to the grateful, liberated iraqi people) ??

there was such a stink about the body armour. and now, years later, only 2000 pieces of the armour delivered ??

"where's the geech, waldo???"

The troops fight for the very thing you are doing. Freedom of speech.

nope, gotta call you on this one, momma.

osama may want to kill me, but until he does, he cannot stop my freedom of speech. sadly, i see a much larger threat to that particular freedom coming from within my own country.

as far as what the troops are fighting for, it was told to us by our president that the troops were going to iraq to disarm saddam. period.

that said, of course i hope that all americans in the armed services reach home port in one piece.

why would i not ?

I will post here if I decide I want to.

hmmm.. it would seem that in the current climate of religion inserting itself into politics, that the opposite would be fair enuff.

so i guess you do have that right.

he or she will appear again under a different name, starting another thread god blessing us all. or perhaps already did.

If it had been me, you would have respected it?

Had MA started it, would you have respected it and stayed away?

What if Intrepid had started this thread? Or Husker?

Naw, I think the problem is we're all feeling a little run over. We've got Jesus' tread marks all over us. "They" are taking over our political system, Supreme Court, legislative branches, and presidency. They are injecting themselves into our business, public parks and even into our homes via tv, radio and print news.

We have to listen to stupid stuff like tv preachers calling for assisination, how Christ is being taken out of Christmas ( Rolling Eyes

- like the fact that stores depend on the season to make most all of their profits hasn't done that already) and Falwell opening a Law School to train Christian judges so as to get us on their more moral path.

We have a president that claims to talk to God and God told him to go to war against a country that had not smited us first. We have other leaders, claiming to have the moral high ground and represent our "values" who lie, steal, kill, cheat / divorce, and break most -if not all - of the Commandments on a daily basis.

We hear over and over again "Render unto Caeser..." only to have Caeser also want our children, our property, and our souls.

Yes, our souls. If you think you have one, our Christian President would like to have it. (Please give generously for your own safety and the safety of your family and loved ones) The way I see it, if we continue to allow torture, rendition, unjustified war, failure to assist those in need here at home while supporting laws that make the rich richer, and fail to tend our garden as instructed and care for Gods planet... We are giving away our souls.

So, I don't really think it would matter who started this thread. Some of us are tired of having a religion thrown in our faces as some sort of positive attribute, when it's apparent to many that the distortions necessary to go along with this kind of tripe is decidely NOT Christian.

Having said all of that, may our soldiers return home safe and sound to a better country than the one that sent them into harms way.

I just wish squinney would be a little more subtle. I don't want my boy cubs to be picked up in a black vehicle and have their testicles crushed.

I am afraid I am at a great loss of understanding here this morning. The question had been brought up about why "we" were not praying for the Iraqi people. I thought about it and felt the right thing to do would be to start a thread for prayers for the Iraqi people. I felt msolga, especially, made an excellent point. I felt her compassion for these people should be recognized.

I am at a loss because no one that is complaining about the Iraqi people being ignored in this thread has even posted a single word in that thread.

Can someone, anyone please tell me why that is?

Let's see...possible reasons, it was overwhelmed by other topics (if it doesn't start getting views and continually get views at the start it can get buried rather quickly). I may take a look at it again and see what it is all about.
Next up, it is only a bit more than 24 hours since you first posted it...sometimes it takes a while before a topic generates enthusiasm.

Thank you for answering sturgis. I do appreciate it. I do hope you will post something for the Iraqi people. They need our prayers and well wishes.

Prayers and well wishes do not necessarily equate to posts, Momma. When I posted the request for the WVa miners, I did not intend for add on posts. It was a request for a personal thought, prayer, practice, whatever from only those who were so inclined and it was in direct response to a request for prayers from those on the scene.

There are innumerable groups, subgroups, and individuals who would welcome prayers. If they ask for prayer, I will respond. If you, or someone else, asks on behalf of someone they know personally, if will respond also. My response does not need to take the form of a post on a forum board for all to see. Prayers, to me, are private. I seldom feel the need to share them.

J_B,

Completely understand. I thought it was very compassionate of you to start that thread for the miners. I am sure it would mean a lot to all concerned in that situation.

I don't expect everyone to post in this thread. Actually, if someone isn't going to post something non-political or encouraging, I wish they wouldn't. But, they do have the right to. Sometimes, just putting our feelings down in black and white is a comfort.
