Benedict XVI

First we must begin this Sunday's prayer session with somewhat of a caveat.

El Papa cannot pray for a while.

He cannot pray for world peace.

He cannot pray for the hungry children across the globe.

He cannot pray for the end of disease.

He cannot pray that more information will not come out relating to his experiences as a member of the Hitler Youth Movement.

He cannot even pray for the death of all abortion doctors...Oh wait, forget that. I get him mixed up with Robertson sometimes. I mean, like Robertson has thousand dollar suits and his own tv show.

Pope Benedict XVI spent a calm night after breaking his wrist in his Alpine vacation chalet and is in recovery.

The right-handed pope will have to keep the cast for a month. Lombardi said the toughest part for Benedict was giving up writing by hand, which he intended to do often during his vacation.

The AFP also reported that the Pope couldn't pray with his hand in a cast:  h

When I last left you at our previous prayer session, I expressed concern over fairy tales and their influence on the American Electorate. http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/dikkday48yahoocom/

Although I was chastised by one of our prayer group for lack of editing, I felt I had led us to a new consciousness.

Editing. I mean if I do not properly cut and paste Gilgamesh so that portions thereof may be properly compared to portions of Bereshit, I mean what is a mother to do?  ( I mean what the hell does a chicken know about editing anyway. All she ever does is peck apart everything anyway.)

And what exactly are the consequences of millions of people thinking the world is only 6,000 years old and praying that it end as quickly as possible?

Well, if El Papa cannot pray, others can.  And our elected officials are really good at it.  At least some of them.

It appears that there is a group of leaders who live in an old nunnery praying for others while they take bribes and fornicate all the live long day.

On Wednesday, the author of a book about The Family was interviewed on KNPR-FM's public affairs show "State of Nevada." Author Jeff Sharlet, a contributing editor to Harper's and Rolling Stone magazines, lived with The Family in early 2002. His book, "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power," was published last year by HarperCollins.

Sharlet: The Family began with this idea that God does not work through churches but rather through those whom The Family calls the "New Chosen." They believe they're chosen by God. They can't be expected to pray with the rest of us. They need to pray in private with people of equal status. When you join one of these prayer groups, you give these men veto power over your life, over every aspect of your life. Wives involved with The Family have said, "In my husband's life, his brothers come first, I come second. "We saw that happening with the men Doug Hampton went to see. They were exercising veto power over Ensign's life.

A puppy dog cited the author and the book he has written and it led me to this post. (Seashell actually. You know the puppy who appears to be driving a car in contravention to not only God's Law but the Laws of the DMV)

Anyway. Americans do not need a Pope. A lot of people fled the Old World in an attempt to get away from old things like the pope.  Although it is true that others were fleeing the Archbishop of Canterbury as well as Luther and Calvin. But not Hobbes, the new immigrants kind of liked Hobbes..

WHAT WE NEED ARE THE CHOSEN.

And where do we find these men of strong character who have been personally chosen by the Lord to lead us out of the wilderness; the godless and vacuous wasteland  created by godless communism or socialism or whatever its called today.  Damn wall. Why did they have to take down that damn wall anyway?  I mean it kept THEM in and US out and now us and them congregate together and even breed together sometimes. Ah for the good old days.

BUILD UP THIS WALL. That's what I always say.

Ok, so this Ensign guy fell from grace for a short period of time. He is paying for it, or his parents are paying for it, or the RNC is paying for it, or the taxpayers are paying for it. I mean, hell, at least somebody is paying for it.

And Governor Sanford. Another gentleman who voted as a Congressman to impeach my president along with Ensign for CONDUCT UNBECOMING. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrx5Ve7y0xM

But you have to admit, those South Americans are HOT!!!

But this infidel Sharlet (Sharlet, kind of like a harlot but more essy so to speak) has some insights into the chosen.

There is some guy named Doug Coe involved in all of this, the leader of the coven so to speak. What kind of man is this Coe anyway?

Sharlet: Absolutely. Everyone is entitled to the freedom of religion. I am a fanatic about freedom of religion. Ensign is free to believe these things, but if he's going to this place for spiritual authority, he is turning to a group that regularly invokes as leadership models Hitler, Stalin and Mao, whom Doug Coe said are three men who understood the New Testament best in the 20th century.

Alrighty then. Geeeeeeeeeez our buddy Pat Buchanan would fit right in here.

Sharlet tells a heart warming story of the emotional make up of this coven:

I was invited into The Family by a man who had dropped everything and moved to Washington to work with them. While he was there, his fiancee was raped. He wanted to jump on the next airplane to be with her, and his brothers in Christ decided to exercise their veto power. They said, "What was your fiancee doing in a bar without you? Perhaps this was God's way of telling you that you are not supposed to be with this woman."

They called her a Jezebel. They told him, "You are not to go and see your fiancee."

Jezabel

Oh Jezabel

Where on earth did you go.

Jezabel,

Oh Jezabel

My God you are a Ho!!

 David Coe, a former assistant to George W. Bush at the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, told NBC Nightly News last year that Doug Coe's references to Nazis in his sermons were really a metaphor, a metaphor for commitment.

I gotta throw this in too here. THEY, the chosen, believe in trickle down economics as well as TRICKLE DOWN CHRISTIANITY.  I mean they all just love pissin on the rest of us.

Sharlet: In some ways the greatest effect of The Family is the influence of their ideas, the elite fundamentalism ideas, free-market fundamentalism trickling down into popular fundamentalism, the regular churches of America filled with Christian conservatives with very good hearts who are

So when I was spending time with Brownback, he knew what I had written, but he was certain that somehow I had been selected by God, and if I saw his work close up, I would be persuaded to come back and stay quiet about what was going on.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jul/19/behind-closed-doors-c-street/

WHO IS DOUG COE AGAIN?

And Doug Coe said, "No, I would not, because you're chosen, and when you're chosen, the normal rules don't apply."

In other words, they're representing U.S. interests, but they are going overseas, paid for by The Family and talking about this Family theology with foreign leaders. That becomes almost a national security issue.

Doug Coe in one presentation talked about Nazi Germany and the allegiance many Germans had to the Nazis. He said it was something of a role model for the approach that Family members need to have to their organization.

I found this site called Searchwarp.com. Kind of interesting site, take a look at it sometime. It has an interesting take on all of this:

Some hypocrisy surfaces in the fact that the members of our Congress that had extra-marital affairs were zealous advocates of family values, integrity and fidelity. The Family comes to bear on the issue in that they have been quoted as advocating that "Morality" does not apply to them, and is a fabrication for use in regard to we who are "less than" and not they who are chosen by God. I find it somewhat frightening that elected leaders are involved with something like this organization. There are even implications by the wife of one of the cheating Congressmen, in her divorce suit, that some of the infidelity actually took place at the C Street complex. This further implicates that the members of The Family really do not consider morality to be any kind of requirement in their daily lives or general philosophy. Sadly, if true, this is taking place in a building that has referenced itself as being a Church or Christian Fellowship! http://searchwarp.com/swa516394-C-Street-The-Family.htm

Adam, Noah and 6000 year theories and the end of the world and......THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT.

Oh and morality. THAT IS ALL BULLSHIT TOO.

You see, there are different rules for THE CHOSEN.

AND IS THIS NOT WHAT AMERIKA IS ALL ABOUT???
