That Eisenhower is a religious kook too, ......blessing of God, what a nut job!

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on
other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war
machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of
Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of
1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats,
in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their
strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home
Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions
of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.
The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to
Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.


SIGNED: Dwight D. Eisenhower

There are commies.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

It worked great when the majority was god fearing and went to church every Sunday.

Fear of religion is a tactic used by the Democrats. Plain and simple.
Its never worked in the past and it wont work now.
I'm pretty sure a hot topic on the right is fear of muslim extremists, who just happen to be doing what they're doing in the name of religion.
Would you like to cite examples of the left using fear of religion?

thanks for clearing up the drum thing Jim. That makes sense. However, her speech did not. Regardless of wether she said it was Gods will or not....Anyone who speaks the word of god with certainty makes no sense to me. Furthermore, anyone who SAYS that they speak the word of god while pushing any agenda other than one that is 100% religious is not to be trusted... especially in politics. End of story. When was the last time you had a beer with god and worked out a game plan?? what did he say? hey, go invade Iraq please.. i want you to tell everyone I said it was OK.... What a crock.

Lord help us

apples and oranges. God does not tell me how i should spend my money, nor when I spend it, Do I tell others that I am spending it under god's will... perhaps you should give me some of yours for some spiritual guidance
