Oh my.

Here, when I started reading it, I thought it might be a bouncy.

You all will never believe what I saw this morning.

I live in an intensely red county. One where every kind of Republican converges so you get to see the hypocrisies of the various "kinds" as they undermine each other. It's a divisiveness that you don't normally see on a national level, but something that will probably become more evident if they lose the next election and begin their civil war amongst themselves.

So we ran out of coffee this morning and I drove to the convenience store to pick up a couple of cuppas. On the way back, what do I see when I come to the creek? A white male kneeling on the ground next to the railing with his clasped hands resting on the rail. He was praying, okay. Right there in the open, not caring who was watching. This never happens.

So I say to myself, I bet he's praying that McCain will win. I figure this, because, if he's upset about losing a loved one, he has dozens of churches to go to with plenty of church ladies to give him sympathy. So what he's praying for is something...else.

This is my translation of what I think he said, "Dear Lord, we have a way of life here which I've grown accustom to and now I'm afraid of losing. Yes, I know that we don't follow the rules around here and we break them whenever a small powerful group of us find it convenient. Yes, I know it's not fair to many people who never even cotton on to the fact that most of the community decisions are made on the golf courses, church socials, charity meetings, quasi secret organizations and in phone conversations between our lawyers and their lawyers.

But, Lord, those people don't love you the way I do. They don't deserve your omnipotent attention and they certainly don't deserve a miracle on Election day. So, I'm praying, Lord, for a miracle. Send me a sign that I am still in your good graces and let McCain win on election day."

Now, I'm not too concerned that the place he picked to pray was the best choice for him, because you see, I've been using the same spot for the last eight years to pray for exactly the opposite of what he was praying for. Now, I don't kneel before the creek, but I do watch the bitter cypress waters below while I say the important things, and mostly, I think it's a spiritual place because of the indigenous history of this area. Frankly, I don't think the land or the spirits of any indians that may lurk around would be too happy to amplify the prayers of a man who belongs to a tribe that has never seen a forest or wood that wouldn't make a great parking lot for a mall. But, that's just me.

In the end, the only prayer I have to God is to prevent the Republicans from stealing a third election and let the will of the people decide. And just in case my prayer gets answered, I'm going to the grocery store to stock up to get enough food to hole up in my home the day before election and the day after, because, this morning's display tells me that it's going to get ugly in Florida.

It's a very large bonfire, so only the Primitives of Prominence.

Ooops, the first one's a non-primitive, the highest tier on Skin's island:

35. Agreed. The OP has no way of knowing who he was, or what party, if any, he belongs to, or what he was praying for. Don't we slam freepers for such broad, sweeping generalizations?

38. I understand what you're saying; I do live in South Dakota, after all. But I still say that you don't know who he was, what, if any party, he belonged to, or what he was praying about. He may have just been thanking the Big Guy for the beauty of the area. The point is that you just don't know, and it's unfair to make such sweeping assumptions.

Yeah, and we love all the lone star nut primitive's "breaking news" stories that are going to "sink the McCain campaign."

91. Well...many of us are "praying 24/7" than an end to Bush is Coming! PLEASE LET IT BE!
 
If I have to pray in a "sacred stream, creek or before an "altar" ..I don't care...just LET THEM BE GONE and LET HISTORY deal with them as they did the NAZI's. We will HUNT THEM DOWN throughout the 21st Century BECAUSE they need to be held accountable for their CRIMES AGAINST ALL HUMANITY!

It's a cause that will live long after the "PARDONS" have been issued. "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!" Fewe are not held accountable throughout history for those. Even if JUSTICE takes till the ends of the earth.

So...I could pray on "side of road, cleaning my house, doing my laundry, sitting in traffic to get to my job...I pray and do what I can, in every way I can...which is what many of us DU'ers have been doing since "SELECTION 2000" have been doing.

All we have is our prayers...and that we can be a person that a President Obama listens to. It's HEARING US...that's the key to unlocking the mighty FIGHT of the People across AMERICA! NOT..."SHOP till YOU DROP..and Credit Card to the MAX" ...but DIG IN AND FIGHT ...CREATIVELY!

It may be a loop hole in the fishing laws. My state made that mistake once. A license is required for pole/reel/net but not for a hand line......and after Obama redistributes the wealth, the white male knows he won't have time to fish any more and if he does he'll only be able to afford a handline.

As it stands now around here about the only people fishing are on unemployment, welfare and disability. The rest have to work and can't afford to fish....no joke.

Well, I'm sure that at least will be granted, hopefully by the means of a McCain-Palin victory.  KoKo01 apparently really doesn't read much, or have any imagination.

I just love how this moonbat makes assumptions.  The man could have been praying for anything.

I'm guessing most of the prayers from DUmp members have the same spirit of self-importance as those who prayed like this:

Quote from:
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
