Jerry Falwell Looking Forward To 2008

Reuters

DALLAS (Reuters) - His influence may be diminished but his zeal is undaunted. Evangelist Jerry Falwell is on a mission to keep a like-minded Republican in the White House and get at least one more conservative judge on the Supreme Court.

Despite his years in the trenches of America's culture wars, Falwell -- who founded the Moral Majority political movement in 1979 and helped propel the rise of the religious right -- said a major victory in his broader crusade to restore the country's moral righteousness has so far eluded him.

With abortion still legal, prayer banned in public schools and pornography rife, he sees a long struggle ahead. For now, he is focusing on voter registration drives and rallying the faithful with his eyes on the twin prizes of the 2008 presidential election and control of the Supreme Court.

  Someone must have turned the rock that he was under back over and let him out again. All we need is more  of the religious right putting their paws all over politics once again.

   This is one of Bush's favorite groups so it is a good thing that we will not have to worry about Bush bending to their will after 2008. That is, if Bush hasn't declared marshall law because of our wars with Iraq, Iran, and whoever else he decides to attack.

Ayatollah Threatens Retaliation If Iran Attacked

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went mouthing off at the United States on Thursday saying that he would strike U.S. interests all over the world if the U.S. attacks Iran.

Tehran's ambassador to the United Nations, Javad Zarif said that the U.S. was reaping "the expected bitter fruits of its ill-conceived adventurism. He went on to say,"But rather than face these unpleasant facts, the United States administration is trying to sell an escalated version of the same failed policy. It does this by trying to make Iran its scapegoat and fabricating evidence of Iranian activities in Iraq."  AP

   Of course, Bush crime Family says that it does not intend to attack Iran, but those of us who are use to Bush and his crap know better. It is just a matter of time.

Speaking to a gathering of air force commanders, Khamenei said: "The enemy knows well that any invasion would be followed by a comprehensive reaction to the invaders and their interests all over the world."                                                              "Some people say that the U.S. president is not prone to calculating the consequences of his actions," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state television, "but it is possible to bring this kind of person to wisdom."                            "U.S. policymakers and analysts know that the Iranian nation would not let an invasion go without a response," Khamenei added.

    We already know that Bush and the boys have probably cooked up a fantasy attack by Iran on a civilian plane or some other object so that Bush will have an excuse for attacking.
