Cool tBLOG quotes:

"Soldiers dying in Iraq are dying to defend the US against terrorism as a victory in Iraq is a victory in the war on terror. They are dying to defend freedom and democracy in the US and to spread freedom and democracy to Iraq. They are dying for the interests of the US, her allies, and by extension, all Americans (whether they understand it or not). They are not dying for Haliburton, oil, or any other ridiculous shit / slant the anti-war types or conspiracy theorists want to spin. Haliburton is a company (among many others, both US and foreign) that seized a chance to profit in REBUILDING Iraq. There is a big difference between that and war-profiteering. Haliburton did not start the war, terrorists and those that support them did. Putting the chicken before the egg just won’t fly." -polymath

"[B]efore you [Europeans] write us off as just a bunch of sweaty, hairy-chested, Bible-thumping morons who are more likely to break their fast by dipping a Krispy Kreme into a diet cola than a biscotti into an espresso - and who inexplicably have won more Nobel prizes than all other countries combined, host 25 or 30 of the world's finest universities and five or six of the world's best symphonies, produce wines that win prizes at your own tasting competitions, have built the world's most vibrant economy, are the world's only military superpower and, so to speak in our spare time, have landed on the moon and sent our robots to Mars - may I suggest you stop frothing at the mouth long enough to consider just what are these ideas we hold that you find so silly and repugnant?"

"Democracy may have been invented in Greece, but cowardess was invented in France where it lives and thrives to this very day."
- RedTigress

"I'm referring to the Iraqi terrorist bastard fighters. The ones liberals insist are either not in Iraq, or are there by the thousands, depending on which liberal you listen to."

"How is it that the Left can believe absolute crazy shit, like the Bush-Saudi Arabian money connection, or the even worse and totally false Bush-bin Laden connection (based on 100% lies) and look at you straight and say there was absolutely no way that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda had ties?"

St. Malachy Strikes Again
04.19.05 (5:00 pm)   [edit]

Okay all ye nonbelievers. No, I'm not talking about non-Christians, I'm talking about you St. Malachy's prophecy nonbelievers.


 So let me set up the scene for you here. I get to my computer at about 8:00 p.m. EST and as usual I check my sitemeter stats. Ever since I switched over to sitemeter from extremetracker, I've had a steady stream of 15-20 hits a day. Back in the extremetracker day, my record was 373 unique hits on none other than election day. In the past few days I've seen a considerable increase in hits to about 30-80 due to google searches about the pope and Malachy. Soooo, you can imagine my suprise when I get home today to find almost 1,000 hits, probably more by the time you read this. My first instinct is that I've just hit another jackpot like I did with the "Military Hand Signals" post, however, something didn't seem right. Off to foxnews.com I went and sure enough.....


POPE BENEDICT XVI!!!!


Some of you might remember a little post I did a few days ago about the prophecies of St. Malachy: http://www.tblog.com/templates/index.php?bid=defensor&" title="http://www.tblog.com/templates/index.php?bid=defensor&" target="_blank"http://www.tblog.com/template...;static=437206


I told myself going into this that I was not going to believe in these prophecies unless the pope took the name Benedict. Sure enough, Benedict it was. As with any prophecy, I'm still skeptical, but it's getting a little creepy.


After writing this, I noticed that Wikipedia (Which, for those of you who don't use it, is probably the best resource for anything you'd ever need to research anywhere)&n bsp;had added a little more to the Prophecy of the Popes section:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_ popes" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_ popes" target="_blank"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...



 Pope Benedict XVI (Gloria Olivae)


The next motto is Gloria Olivae, the glory of the olive. Prior to the papal conclave, this motto led to speculation that the next pontiff would be from the Order of Saint Benedict, whose symbols include the olive branch. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, selected in April 2005, is not a Benedictine, but did pick Benedict XVI as his papal name, which might be regarded as a fulfillment of this prophecy.


Yet there can also be a different meaning. Pope Joseph had his birthday on the 16th April and on that day is celebrated the feast of Saint Benedict Joseph Labre` (26 March 1748 - 16 April 1783), also known as the Holy Pilgrim. His first name was already Joseph and together with Benedict, which he has now assumed, his Christian namesake is now complete. Moreover, the Order of St Benedict is also known as that of the Olivetans.


Alternatively, less specific interpreters have predicted that the next pope will promote world peace (as in an olive branch). Pope Benedict XVI has chosen "Pax" (peace) as his papal motto. The self-proclaimed Pope Clemente Domínguez y Gómez of the Palmarian Catholic Church claimed that he was the glory of the olive.


A part of me wants to believe that he took the name because of Malachy's predictions. He didn't want to screw up the chain. Not being "olive-skinned" or connected to Israel would really hurt the prophecy's case. For those of you wondering whether or not it's a forgery, you can check out LynneKramer's comment.


As Convinced said, we need to be paying close attention to this next pope. This Benedict guy is pretty old. At 75 years he's just about 10 years shy of the late John Paul II. So I'm not really seeing this papacy lasting too long. So when this guy goes, remember Malachy. Any Peter the Roman connection to that last pope and I am officially freaked out.

Only thing puzzling me i: now as some of us know and believe in these things, can we not do something about it, like change or warn others of future events? Doesn't the Church have a more obligatory role in warning us, of guiding us and so on? I know critics of the Church would turn sceptics of it and hate it because they don't believe, so I expect a double jeopardy if we actually warn or sto the evil. What y'all think?

I don't think the Church has an obligation or should warn us if they think the end of the world is near.

For one, it would create widespread panic among the world's not only Catholics but all Christians. Then if the world didn't end, people would feel like they couldn't trust the Church and become Protestant or leave Christianity altogether.

Two, when dealing with prophecies like Malachy's it kind of forces the Church to follow the rest of the predictions rank and file or else they'd prove themselves wrong.

Eh, we've still got another couple decades at least, so there's no need to worry yet.

What do you mean plenty of time? That's the same thing all the liberals are saying about social security. The Wikipedia and LynneKramer evidence is infallible. The urgency is quite clear. We need to make a preemptive strike to stop the end the world now before evil takes over ..... Or maybe we should look into things a little harder first .... No, thats what a liberal would do. Heres the plan, we Should nuke Ireland first. Clearly there is a link between Ireland and the end of the world. After that we just keep nuking until internet bloggers tell us that the threat has passed.

What do you mean plenty of time? If you're thinking anything less than a couple of decades, it sounds like you're hedging your bets on an assasination of this pope, which disturbs me.

Here's the plan: First we nuke the Vatican because why not take out 2 birds with one stone, the end of the world and a big chunk of the religious right. Next we murder as many babies in the womb as possible. Who knows if one of them might grow up to be the anti-christ, so it's better safe than sorry. Lastly we'll murder all the Jews because they have a part in the Biblical Apocalypse. Lets face it, if these past elections weren't so close, us liberals would've gotten rid of them long ago.

Maybe the new Pope will end the world by supporting war.... The last Pope was way to liberal cause he didn't support the war. (He wasn't even French how could he be like that) Sure he was anti abortion, but come on, we want the crusades back.
Biggest contridiction of the religious right ... no to abortion and euthanasia ... yes to outright killing. I'm against ALL kinds of killing.
Personally I think if the end of the world is going to happen, it will likely be because of some right wing idiot with his finger on the button, not because of some prediction. Stop making excuses for yourselves.

Who is this "we" that want the Crusades back?

You're against all kinds of killing eh? How about animals? How about WWII? Did you support our defending ourselves? If a murderer showed up at your house and was about to kill you or your family, would you kill him to prevent it? Don't give me this against all kind of killing crap.

I'd also like to know how you justify this theory that the world will end because of some right wing nutjob with his finger on the button? The Cold War is over, there is no finger hovering over the button. In every single serious war after WWII we've had a republican president in office with the ability to nuke our enemies, but guess what, it never happened.
