Bush is the Anti-Christ, says the Pope

BUSH = ANTICHRIST ?



WASHINGTON DC -- According to freelance journalist Wayne Madsden, "George W Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to 'evil doers,' in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations--the anti-Christ."

Madsen, a Washington-based writer and columnist, who often writes for Counterpunch, says that people close to the pope claim that amid these concerns, the pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament.

Before he became pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel."

The pope worked tirelessly to convince leaders of nations on the UN Security Council to oppose Bush's war resolution on Iraq. Vatican sources claim they had not seen the pope more animated and determined since he fell ill to Parkinson's Disease. In the end, the pope did convince the leaders of Mexico, Chile, Cameroon and Guinea to oppose the U.S. resolution.

Madsen contends that "Bush is a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."

See what I had to endure as a Texas resident? ; ) Many times in my day to day here in LA I come across people that think that just because I'm from Texas that I like his sorry ass. My response is usually on the order of "Hey wait just a goddamn minute! I've vote against him more times than you have!"

interestingly, a while back this thought came to mind... but since I'm not the pope, I brushed it off.

"Neo-Christian blood cult." Perfect! That can be one of your t-shirts:

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS A NEO-CHRISTIAN BLOOD CULT.

You realize if you made clever political t-shirts they'd prolly sell really well, too.

Whoa. I agreed with the catholic church about something. This is so awkward. Perhaps I need a cup of tea to digest this information properly,lol.
