The Crazy Shifts
A while back, I recall reading about these people that thought Bush was chosen by God to lead the world into, well, something – I don’t remember what. These people were some right wing fundamentalists who really thought Bush was chosen by God.
Any way, the other side has it’s crazies too:
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.”
I’m getting my religion oriented conspiracy theories confused. Is he chosen by God to lead the people or is he the anti-Christ? I need some Coco Puffs.

I vote “neither.” Everyone knows that the Anti-Christ is, in fact, Ralph Reed.

I thought it was Emanual Lewis.

It would take a signifigant stretch of the imagination to classify W as the Anti-Christ.
The Anti-Christ is supposed to be wildly popular, which W is clearly not.
Moonbats, all.

The only thing we can say with certainty is that Michael J. Fox is the anti-Elvis.
