Bush announces a National Day of Prayer.

[cornermouse]

How sad. How ironic...

[true_notes]

1. Cuba Beat Us To It

Goddamned Communist Heathens.......:sarcasm:

[Lindsay]

2. I will be praying

for the removal from office of his entire mendacious bunch.

[aquart]

3. I pray that every night he sleeps in urine and feces.

I pray that in his dreams, dogs eat him.

I pray for justice.

[artemisia1]

4. ... for his ass. nt

[jmatthan]

5. Democrats should name it

National Day for the Hypocritical Prayers

and stay away.

[ForrestGump]

6. That'll fix it. Of course, there was PLENTY of praying going on by

people, now dead, who suffered while he flitted about like the attention-span-impaired social butterfly that he is.

[tocqueville]

7. For an European this is beyond understanding

Does the US have an Ayatollah or a President ?

I understand a day of MOURNING, which can of course involve religious ceremonies or private expressions of worship...

But day of PRAYER ?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

[tocqueville]

11. obviously reading posts here it isn't that important

it sounds that the problem is who declares it, not that it is declared...

[cornermouse]

14. Its not against prayer.

At least for me, its the feeling that Bush thinks prayer should be substituted for rescue and relief. That's just not right. And if he really believed what he professes he believes, he'd know that.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. Bush is the Great Satan and the Ayatollah of Assyholas.

Delirium tremens make people say and do some strange shit. I guess he needs to rest up from the vacation and his Texas 5th! He talks to the same voice Jim Jones did I think.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Yes.

I'm leaning towards "Ayatollah."

[Qibing Zero]

18. Agreed completely.

It's almost as bad as turning sept 11th into a day of fervor for war.

[ClintonTyree]

8. What about the prayers of those who were dying in NOLA......

I guess they couldn't get through the switchboard. You need someone with a direct hotline, like bush, to get through to the Big Guy I guess? :eyes:

A totally useless exercise designed to make people feel like they're "doing something" to help. :puke:

[mopaul]

9. 'i'll just say a little prayer AGAINST you"...the church lady

[ima_sinnic]

10. National Day of Prayer for Removal of Bush Administration 9/16 (nt)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. How about a national day of NOT FUCKING UP?

[deacon]

15. Yeah as he suspends minimum wage requirements for contractors

....what a piece of work this guy is.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. All RIGHT! WooHoo! THAT'LL FIX EVERYTHING!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

On the bright side, though, it's cheaper than invading Iran.

[thefloyd]

19. I am so tired of people talking about "saying a prayer"

No more prayer just action. I am so tired of CONS hiding behind the cross for their political purposes.

[flordehinojos]

20. GOD FORGIVE ME! I WILL NEVER JOIN IN WITH A BUSH INITIATED PRAYER.

I WILL NEVER PRAY ON A NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER SET BY BUSH. I WILL NEVER DONATE TO ANY RELIEF EFFORT REQUESTED BY BUSH.

I WILL PRAY IN MY OWN TIME. I WILL DEMAND THAT MY TAXES BY USED FOR NATIONAL RELIEF EFFORTS WHEREVER RELIEF EFFORTS ARE NEEDED. I WILL DEMAND THAT BUSH CEASES AND DESIST FROM OCCUPYING IRAQ, USING MY TAX DOLLARS FOR THAT OCCUPATION, AND I WILL DEMAND THAT HE BRING THE BOYS AND GIRLS BACK HOME NOW!!!!!!!!

EAT :puke: Bush

[Vinca]

21. The only thing I might contemplate praying for would be

impeachment.

[H2O Man]

22. How offensive.

People don't need his prayers. They need him to do his job. And his job must include not being self-righteous, and attempting to institute a state religion -- which is what his calling for a national day of prayer clearly is.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Watch out for snakes...

and holy rollers.

[mwb970]

24. Um, wasn't Katrina an "act of God"?

...as Jon Stewart pointed out last night.

[WePurrsevere]

25. Much of America has been "praying"...

in some way or another to some PTB/Divine or another for well over a week now... much of those that DIED "prayed" and BEGGED for help for DAYS.


Late again Bush. :nuke:

[atomic-fly]

26. I pray for a big salty pretzel!

eat up mr president

[newyawker99]

27. Hi atomic-fly!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[bluedawg12]

28. Oh great a pep rally. n/t
