Our President who are in Washington hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come they will be done in America as we conquer Iraq and the world. Give us this day our daily conservatism. George W. Bush will deliver us from evil and lead us not into terrorism, but deliver us from the evils of Al Quada. For thine is our leader and our savior president Bush. Amen
