So, like the vampire Lasat, they drain them of true spiritual life, while seducing them with voter-pamphlet sermons and feel-good theology. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The organized church is in big trouble today--the message of repentance is a flat subject among churchgoers. People want to pull a voting lever, offer vocal support for whatever politician pays lip service to a few hot-button social issues, and shout hallelujah as they drive off in their Lincoln.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Satan smiles and waves as they go by. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What America needs is a repentant, spiritual church, not the political arm of a dominionist cult. Want to argue that point? Do it with the God who says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.newswithviews.com/guest_opinion/guest76.htm" title="http://www.newswithviews.com/guest_opinion/guest76.htm"&gt;www.newswithviews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Their unjust war in Iraq angered

        thirty years of pastoring and thousands of hours of volunteer labor, I

        teeth-gritting, mad commands are shouted at Satan. True spiritual authority 
        is given by God to whom He qualifies. His criteria are clear. It is the 
        humble, not the Sunday-morning-the-pastor-is-watching-me humble, but truly 
        Christ-like, self-sacrificing, cares-about-others-more-than-self humble,

During the election, many liberals complained that President Bush was running the national debt up too high and the Communist Chinese government owned too much of that debt. A lot of fiscal conservatives agreed with them on that. After the election, the fiscal conservatives stuck by their principles and most liberals abandoned theirs as our Dear Leader raised the national debt in six months an amount that it took GWB eight years to reach, selling most of that new debt to the Communist Chinese government. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://urbin.net/blog/?p=602" title="http://urbin.net/blog/?p=602"&gt;urbin.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the strongest factors in our &lt;EM&gt;Dear Leade&lt;/EM&gt;r’s election was that he was not George W.

A policy that made &lt;A href="http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=15119"&gt;BDS&lt;/A&gt; sufferers foam at the mouth when GWB announced it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Facts like these, are causing some honest liberals to describe our &lt;EM&gt;Dear Leader&lt;/EM&gt; as “Bush on Steroids” or “&lt;A href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/27/the-rank-dishonesty-of-the-obama-administration/"&gt;George W.

This involved him in Bush's Iran-Contra program, a triangular trade which involved selling arms to Iran (for a private profit), importing cocaine into the US (for a private profit) and delivering arms to the Contras (for a private profit.)&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;
Deemed a "narco-terrorist," Noriega was the main banker for the cocaine trade. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;
The "surgical strike" designed to remove CIA partner Manual Noriega from office, killed an estimated 10,000 civilians. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;


The Road to Iraq and Afghanistan (and maybe Iran and Pakistan) started with the invasion of Panama under the direction of George H.W.
