Will the Presidential Prayer Team continue under a Dem. Administration
If one looks at the Presidential Prayer Team www.presidentialprayerteam.org it becomes obvious that the organization is not committed to a non-partisan agenda. At the very least it is committed to a conservative agenda, at the most, a Republican conservative agenda. They urge their members to pray only for Bush, his underlings or his allies in the world. My question is, what happens if and when Howard Dean or Wesley Clark becomes president? Will the Prayer Team continue it's "non-partisan" ways? Will the Prayer Team pray for them and their underlings? Will pastors in fundamentalist churches exclaim from the pulpit that God chose Howard Dean or Wesley Clark for the presidency?

3. Wouldn't That Be Difficult
If you were sane, didn't lose an election to a corpse and considered "cats" as pets rather than DevilSpawn?

7. I had two calico cats. They really are devil spawn.
They were great cats, but the most evil things you'd ever want to see. One was a self-petting cat (this is no shit, she would pull my hand off the bed and walk back and forth under it to pet herself) and the other was a big ol' dust mop who'd wait till I was done with dinner, then lick my plate clean and sit in the middle of it until I pet her. She would also jump up in my arms when she was in heat.

Both died this year and I miss them terribly.

5. WTF
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 04:03 AM by sleipnir
I went to their website, and boy it was bizzare

the "A-team" and the "inner circle" WTF is this shit. Scary, to say the least

Or the best is the limited edition litograph entitled, get this horseshit, "Praying for Peace" Guess who the fuck it features...our own Peace loving President!!! Adorned on either side by Washington and Lincoln, the two most beloved Presidents. Wait what happened to FDR or fucking Kennedy!!!??? Why aren't they there, probably the most two "beloved" Presidents of all time.

Horeshit, how about a limited Edition lithograph, "Praying for Haliburton and the Rest of Our Criminal Friends, So They Don't Go To Hell"


I tried to find a place to submit prayers, so I could ask the the team pray for Howard Dean to win the presidental election.....Ha, ha, ha....


Edited for more material I found later on my semi-drunken search through the fundy-goverment website.

8. Doubt it. Clark is very firmly for separation of church and state
See how they meltdown at this statement:

Wesley Clark on church and state

Posted: September 23, 2003

Wesley Clark is clearly the man to watch in the
Democratic
presidential primary.

Two days after he announced his candidacy, a
Newsweek poll
had him leading the pack of 10 Democrats seeking
the White
House.

While the nation has been engulfed in a debate
about
church-state relations this summer, Clark was
sounding off in a
radio interview about the subject.

Here's what he said on WGCU 90.1, a public radio
station in
southwest Florida:

Well, I am concerned like many people
are. I grew
up believing that the whole ... one of
the basic
principles in our country is that we
would keep
church and state separate. And this is
because
everyone is entitled to freedom of
religion, and that
is why people came to America in the
first place. ...
And we learned that in order to have
freedom of
religion, you've got to protect the state
from the
church. You don't want an established
church that
we're all being taxed to support, or at
least that's
the way it was put then. But it's a
little more
complicated than that. I think that it is
a wonderful
thing for people to have values and
religious, their
religious faith, and I certainly have
mine. But I
think that it is better for our democracy
and better
for our religion if we keep the two
separate.


Actually, most non-revisionist historians will
recognize that
Clark has the uniquely American concept of
freedom of
religion exactly backward. The founders weren't
trying to
protect the government from the church ? far
from it. They
were trying to protect the church from the
government. More....
