Found the NBC video of Gen. Boykins "army of god" speech.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/981411.asp

"He spoke of Islamic extremists hating the United States because “we’re a Christian nation” and added that our “spiritual enemy will only be defeated if we come against them in the name of Jesus.” He said that President Bush “is in the White House because God put him there,” and that “we in the army of God . . . have been raised for such a time as this.”

We have heard this stuff from two neighbors here. I get physically sick when I hear it.

6. I hope you write

your congressmen and senators and add, juust for shits and giggles
the DoD.

Reminds them that this is aganst the UCMJ, will weaken
good order and disipline, as it contravenes a lawful
legal order, and is conduct unbecoming. Leave the fact of
exactly WHAT he said out... since the boy engaged in
politicking WHILE IN UNIFORM. This is a big no-no

Once you set it in legal terms, and also contact
the press... don't forget to write your local paper,
they will see the shit storm. reality is, his boss (the Prezz)
all protestations to the contrary, believes the same shit.

But the good general just amde this official Army and
Government policy, contravening all that his boss has been
saying... remind them of this.

Oh and also remind them that if they let this stand, now the troops
can freely critize their CiC while in Uniform... since a Lt.
General can... so all those silly rules in the UCMJ against this
are now null and void.

4. old-testament style

The idea that God put W in the White House makes me truly believe in the concept of an angry, vengeful God, and makes me wonder if there isn't possibly someone *else* up there we could talk to.

7. Jesus is up there

and he's into peace. In the old testament God was always angry and would tell the Jews to go and kill everyone, women, children and animals. Then sometimes he'd tell them to just kill the men. God always seemed to be in a bad mood. Then suddenly there's Jesus who's the complete opposite from his dad. But then they're one and the same so go figure. Oh, and Jesus left behind the Holy Ghost. I'd hear this all the time in church and they tried to make comparisons between trees (roots, truck, limbs) or eggs (shell, white goo, yolk).
So, maybe we ought to talk to Jesus who's more easy-going and hates wars.

8. What Price Glory?

To think my ancesters came here to be free in 'their' religion. This must be pay back time

[AnnabelLee]

9. A new jody for the general

I don't know but I've been told
Christians are as good as gold
We can maim & kill with pride
We know God is on our side
Sound off, one, two
Sound off, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three-four!

13. More detailed quotes from this medieval Crusader at ...

... www.msnbc.com/news/980841.asp?0b1=-0 Very scary stuff. Example (paraphrased): "I want you to think about why Bush is in office. The people did not elect him. It's a miracle! (from God)"
