I think we outsourced our defense to blackwater, and at least for now, they are an American company, unless they follow cheney and halliburton to dubai.

I didn’t know that McCain was that kind of guy.

Don’t believe me? Google it. Here’s one tidbit:

“Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Rick Santorum (R-PA) attended the 2006 Washington, D.C., kickoff of Christians United for Israel, standing by as Hagee called for an End Times war on Iran. Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, old acolytes from Texas, were also present. (Under Karl Rove’s tutelage, Cornyn started his political career with a pilgrimage to Cornerstone Church.) Party chair Ken Mehlman joined Hagee on the speaker’s platform. President Bush sent a pre-recorded message.”

I think Hagee is on the list of suspects that Grandpa McCain would have, in his younger days, called “agents of intolerance.”

I’m sure that Sam would renounce Hagee’s radical statements. Someone should ask him.

Isn’t Brownback a Catholic? Doesn’t that make him a “Whore of Babylon”?

“Hagee has offered some highly provocative views on a variety of subjects.

For instance, he linked Hurricane Katrina to the gay rights movement: ” … All of the city was punished because of the sin that happened there in that city.”

He has also denounced the Roman Catholic Church as “the great whore of Babylon” and “a cult.” He blames it for the Holocaust and predicts its imminent demise.

“This is the apostate church,” Hagee said. ” … this false religious system is going to be totally devoured by the anti-Christ.””

“Since Brownback is stomping for John McCain, does this mean that Brownback also makes it clear at each campaign photo-op that he thinks McCain is wrong about the tanker deal?”

Sit down and take a few deep breaths:

No, Sam Brownback does NOT mention the tanker deal when he’s stumping for McSame.

(I fear I may have given Kansas Republicans the “vapahs” with that one.)

Sam’s dealing from both sides of the deck. His 105-county tour is for scoping out the governorship. His hook-up with John Sidney McCain the Thrird is the slim possibility that a religious extremist might be needed as a vice-presidential candidate.

“So it’s a bad thing for Hillary to “reach across the aisle” and pray with republicans?

Isnt that what obama says? We need to “reach across the aisle” and be “inclusive” and “listen” to folks we disagree with, like mcclurkin?”

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. I have no problem with Hillary and Sam praying over breakfast. I think it’s a good thing.

If you’ll recall, I was commenting that the so-called “connection” between Brownback and Hagee was tenuous.

“Your Hillary hatred is showing. Better button up.”

Actuallly, it seems like your “Monkeyhawk” hatred is in play here.

“As long as Hillary doesnt impose that taliban stuff on US, like the repuke do with hate amendments, who cares if she prays with the enemy?”

I agree. That’s kinda been my point on this thread all morning.

Right, MonkeyH.

You spotted this classic “either/or” fallacy.

Because one opposing Christian fundamentalism doesn’t mean they support Islamic fundamentalism or any other kind of fundamentalism.

Just the opposite.

“writerdog” notes –

“…It not only endangers the State but the faith itself…”

Indeed it does, and it’s one of the issues fundamentalist “Christian” activists never seem to understand.”

Yeah Monkey. That mystifies me as well. That they dont see what the government giveth, the government taketh away. I love how WE are socialists when we run to the government for protection, but they are not when THEY run to the government for “protection” er, promotion.

“All for me and none for thee eh Crapn?”

The Hagee/Brownback connection is a tad tenuous. Both are in John WMD McCain’s inner circle of advisers, however. Either that says McBush is principles man who can get people who disagree on specifics to work for a common goal (sort of like Senators Clinton and Brownback getting together for a prayer breakfast), or McSame’s moral compass is askew.

Well of course, each individual candidate has the opportunity (at least in elected offices) to acquit themselves.

But in general, I would say yes.

Outlander with all due respect to your beliefs, they after all, your beliefs. To me they have no basis in fact. You are not as preachy as some. But going by the posted beliefs of some fundamentalists here?

Well to me they are just not rational.

The best way I can explain it is like this. What if you knew a candidate firmly believed in the tooth fairy? Would you vote for such a person?

But if Brownback leaves the Senate, who will Hillary have her “prayer breakfasts” with.

I kid you not.

Hillary meets with American Taliban like Brownback and they all pray together.

Speaking in tongues is optional.
