Saddam praised god while he was being led to the gallows, that would be his god Satan. May Saddam writhe in agony in the fires of hell. I pray that his victims find closure, and a hope for peace in their country.

Verily, Lord we prayeth unto Thee

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on

*Lord, bring your terrible swift sword of justice not just to Baghdad but to tryrants and vipers everywhere - especially in Washington DC.

In Your Son’s. the Prince of Peace, Name we pray. *

Jim: I was thinking about this very topic just last night upon hearing of Saddam’s execution. A twinge of sadness and regret. Odd…right?

Not sadness for his death or regret for the punishment due, but for the choices he made and the opportunities he wasted in self-interest.

The reality is that a collective world peace will forever elude us. Peace is individual and not of this world. We are to pursue it, but will never achieve it. We will always fall short of the glory.

Ecclesiastes says it all.

Now put on your armor Jim cause this column is gonna draw considerable fire from the peace loving leftists.

All we can do is hope that Hussein’s gamble using prayers at his execution will weaken those prayer’s reputation, and moderate muslims will snap out of this.

The only wisdom now is, “gee, I hope the moderates clamp down at the last moment, even though they’ve done ZIP till now.”

Wisdom.. Bush has to announce something, and it will be some unenunciable and unfathomable plan with phrases carved out to satisfy his base of support who yelling “all-or-nothing-in-Sadr-City”, out their windows in Cleveland..

I know that hymn, it got the Earnest Angley award for most sanctified gerunds in a miracle hymn.

Brian Wilson came to a similar screech when he first heard, “Be My Baby”, which have far more appropriate lyrics for the death of James Brown.

The death of Saddam, (and the accompanying theo-cultural ripples), is just another link in the Rube Goldberg slide to ruin in Iraq. Saddam’s execution, carried out during Islamic holy days of obligation, gave the Shia/Sunni Iraqis a socio-theological black eye. (we are dropping a lot of pebbles in the pond)

My immediate thought regarding one of your Dec 28 topics was: “This sounds just like something gwb, the Texecutioner, would say.

“A butcher, a mass murderer who killed frivolously, declares a final absurdity: “I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking,” writes Saddam Hussein while awaiting the executioner. The lesson of Saddam’s life: Butcher ‘em, but don’t hate ‘em”.

@@’s thoughts are more along the lines of mine. How sad that a man who had leadership qualities had no character or nobility to carry out justice.

He could have led Iraq to prominence in the Middle East but reduced it to wretched poverty with butchery and greed. What a terrible tragedy for the Iraqi people and the world. I shed no tears for Saddam but for what he could have been.

I woke up this morning feeling real good because of the hanging of Saddam. There’s nothing us rednecks love more than a good execution. It makes us feel all man-like and real important. If I had my way, we would go into every prison in GA and hang everyone, starting with Those People. That would make even Sister Dusty feel real man-like.

I’m glad to see other people feel real good about the hanging on this here blog.

I was able to get a little Closure because of the hanging. That’s the same thing as revenge, only we ain’t allowed to say that no more. Just like we ain’t allowed to say the N word no more, except in private to each other. I say we get Closure on as many crooks as we can.

So I can’t wait to see what the other rednecks—TFTT, Realist, Markus, Van, Dusty and others—have to say about the hanging. I bet they feel real good today too. They know they are rednecks. Only they won’t admit it like I do.

Anyway, I’m going to the Church of Holiness in the morning and giving thanks for this hanging. It’s the least I can do as a good Christian.

His death was willed by Bush, who is morally culpable as Saddam‘s executioner.

Dubya got his revenge for Pappy

Bush did it, go figure.

As though their is some blame to be placed for this righteous serving of justice.

As though millions of Iranians, Kuwaitis and Iraqis died so that some stupid, dull political party in America could get a new slogan to ignorantly toss around.

As though these liberals have revealed the depth of their intelligence, the only thought that they can muster to defend their blatantly stupid ideas and beliefs, their answer to everything; that Bush and America suck.

Well, what else is new? We have the usual liberal bedwetting suspects all upset that Saddam has been executed. Some are even saying they’ll be going to church now like a good Christian. I see, so all it takes for these agnostic wallet thief liberals to talk about Christianity is to a), talk about lowering the tax burden on those that actually work and build companies in this nation and b), kill a tyrant (Iraqis killed Saddam, not us, but who’s paying attention to the details here…). Aren’t these the same jackals that complain about fundamentalist Christianity all over creation in this nation? Mm-huh. I’m sorry, but God doesn’t listen to halfassed pseudo-Christian moonbats.

But should we have expected anything less from these liberals? These are the same people that are sitting by RIGHT NOW not crying about what’s going on in Africa. These are the same people SO DAMNED CONCERNED about human rights and whatnot. These are the people that want countless funds going to AIDS research and that man-made global warming bullsnot. Yet, when millions of human beings are slaughtered under a tyrant, especially under the guise of a religion, or under some other faction that they know they have no REAL control over, they keep their traps shut.

Then they get on blogs like this one and b!tch up a storm about Bush murdering Saddam. Saddam was tried under a peer of Iraqis and executed among a peer of Iraqis, just like those he killed. I expected no less of a reaction here and elsewhere to the pathetic libobats out there. It’s no different than them all wetting their pretty pinko panties when Saddam got caught. I have no respect for the disease of liberalism, I have no use for liberals, and I sure have nothing in common with the sick, twisted, mental handicap known as liberalism. The sickness of liberalism and appeasement are not why this nation is where it is today. And that’s the painful truth.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - December became the deadliest month for U.S. troops in Iraq in two years after the U.S. military reported six more combat deaths, leaving the tally just two short of the emotive 3,000 mark […]

The latest deaths take the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the invasion of March 2003 to 2,998, according to icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks U.S. deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The number who died in December is now 109, three more than the previous high this year in October, and the highest since November 2004 when 137 U.S. servicemen and women died.”

As you said at 1:38, “I must admit my real shock today is that there are those who give the impression of being more tolerant of and sympathetic to Saddam Hussein than to George W. Bush.” Mr. Wooten, sir, one of the first things a Christian learns is tolerance for his fellow man, no matter that man’s condition. What you are hearing from the few of us is Christian patience, a willingness to believe that all men ultimately may be redeemed.

More sympathetic to Saddam than Bush? No. But sympathetic because he is human. His crimes are heinous, as we noted above, but he, too, is worthy of being called “human.” I suggest, sir, that you might make a practice of going to the Church of your choice.

In order to receive the grace of redemption it is necessary to have a conscience and ask forgiveness for one’s sins.

I missed the part where Saddam Hussein did that.

Moreover, the “Reign of Terror” during was the work of people with pitchforks who confused liberte’, fraternite’, egalite’ with anarchy.

The people who fit that description on this blog are the niggardly leftists who like to use the word “tolerance” and but have not the slightest conception of what the word actually means, as evidenced by how they express nothing but intolerance in their own lives.

One more observation - for someone whose stock in trade as a true-blue Leftist is no-doubt to follow the John Edwards theme of “Two Americas”, where no amount of prosperity will ever satisfy a hunger for demeaning this country, damning those who dare to prosper here, and ignoring the fact that we are the most fortunate nation on Earth, it is rather revealing that you chose to complain about Jim Wooten’s analogy.

Apparently wealth is only virtuous when it is people with names like Kennedy, Edwards, Gore, and Kerry who possess it.

Mr. Wooten;

Do you or do you not see parallels between the Nuremberg Trials and the trial of Saddam?

Do you see parallels between Hermann Goring and Saddam? They were both sentenced to be hanged. Goring, of course, committed suicide, and, although not the Fuhrer, was instrumental in the “final solution.”

We would be most interested in your comments.

Therefore the correct term for them is traitor.

Dusty: It’s kind of a fine point to haggle over but I feel as though you are wrong to characterize these liberals as “traitors.” To fit the definition of traitor would require them to first, at some point in time, have a loyalty to this country and I feel that the only devotion these scumbags have is to themselves.

No, their acts are more akin to utter stupidity, something you would expect from a dullard.

Or perhaps someone totally taken by the most ignorant and childish emotions.

For instance, the morons ushered into the new congress have promised to hold hearings concerning Halliburton’s procurement of no bid contracts, a favorite ranting of those in the fever swamps. Only one question is; which war are we talking about?-

Halliburton Received No-Bid Contracts During Clinton Administration For Work In Bosnia And Kosovo. It is certainly true that during a two year period Halliburton’s revenue from Defense Department contracts doubled. However, that increase in revenue occurred from 1998 to 2000 - during the Clinton administration.

It’ll be good to get to the bottom of that, finally.

And check out this jewel, many of our new rulers have exclaimed their brilliant idea of taxing the oil companies, presumably to punish them for their obscene profits, except for the fact that government is the one making the obscene profit-

Federal, state and local taxes total an average of 46 cents per gallon — significantly more than the 28 cents Exxon earned on a $3 gallon of gas.

All of this lunacy coming when our country is at war and great risk, let’s distract the leaders with insane, masturbatory witch hunts and pointless spectacles.

As I was saying, it’s a sure sign of stupidity.

And dullness.

If you don’t like religious analogies, I suggest you complain to the very preachy On-looker who is imposing his god-awful view of Christianity on the rest of us. My comment(s) were in response to his words.

What is it exactly that I should be remorseful for, and why would my remorse or lack thereof be relevant to the corruption of government? I would submit that to be remorseful one must first admit his or her mistakes, something your leader, w, was never come close to doing. Are you saying that your Christian leader is incapable of remorse and hence not a true Christian?

To the liberals who think execution is so bad, how do you think Saddam’s victims felt? This was simply justice for his victims, and also it removes a threat from society. We don’t have to cheer and rejoice over it, but we certainly must admit this world is a better place without him.

Barbara,

I’m afraid that America’s Al Qaeda was quoting from Julia Ward Howe’s The Battle Hymn of the Republic which was written during the Civl War.

Sadly he chose to degrade those lyrics by adding this opinion which was his own and has nothing to do with the hymn -

Lord, bring your terrible swift sword of justice not just to Baghdad but to tryrants and vipers everywhere - especially in Washington DC

Here are the full lyrics:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps: His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: “As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal; Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on.”

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat: Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on.

My favorite stanza is the last one, which I like to use when ever Liberals claim that it is against Christianity to go to war. I quoted it on this blog on Christmas Eve and Getalife became enraged when I “imposed” religion on him.

Ho hum.

Hi Buy Danish. When I read his comments about the “vipers in Washington DC, I assumed he was referring to the recently appointed Dems. (Hee-hee-hee!)

The lyrics of the song are beautiful though, and fitting prayer for the death of the monster Saddam.

(As it seems to be a day to settle scores):

My compliments to Buy Danish and RW- (Original) for showing yourselves to be people of honor and class when you called out Andy for his racist rampage against Debby a few days ago.

A pity Mr. Wooten and Mr. jmblaw saw fit either to remain silent to support what was an egregious violation of basic human decency – even if we make allowances for the fact that Andy, an inconsequential troll, is so sociopathic and psychologically unhinged that he only thrives when he can elicit hatred from complete strangers with his bathroom wall insults.

Then again, when Mr. jmblaw describes racial deprecations like “black whore” as brilliant and witty, we can understand why George Will dismissed Libertarians as “children” in a column some years ago.

Aside to BD – I mangled her last name, but Evelyn Underhill’s book Mysticism is indeed a classic. I encountered it in an undergrad course in Christian mysticism taught by a brilliant Jesuit priest many years ago. Fantastic reading list – Juan de la Cruz, Thomas Merton, Meister Eckhart, William Law, Teilhard de Chardin, The Cloud of Unknowing, et. al. Interesting that the mystical process seems to be the similar in all religions. Perhaps the key to tolerance in both religion and politics is to rise above the merely contemporaneous and parochial.
