Bush, We Are Praying While You Prey
By Mary MacElveen, May 5, 2004

It has come to my attention that George W. Bush has called for a national day of prayer on May 6, 2004. I would like to answer him back and state that not a day goes by that I am not praying for his defeat come November and for the world madness he created to stop. I do not see him as a man who prays, but a man who preys.

He has brought about so much misery to this planet that at times words fail me at expressing my true feeling concerning him. I do not see him as being a man of peace but a man who wants a piece of the pie for his own selfish gains.

As he stated this in his letter to the American people, "On this National Day of Prayer, we pray especially for the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who are serving around the world to defend the cause of liberty. We are grateful for their courage and sacrifice and ask God to comfort their families while they are away from home."

I am repulsed by this simply because in less than a week's time, 21 of our soldiers are now dead. April in Iraq for us has been one of the bloodiest months to date since we attacked Iraq under his orders. He will not allow photos of our war dead coming home to be photographed and one such photographer was even fired for doing so.

America, if these men and women sacrificed their lives shouldn't you be praying the very man who placed them in harms way is taken out of office? George W. Bush states that they sacrificed their lives for God and nothing can be farther from the truth. They were sacrificed to the gods of greed period. I would also like to know what liberty he speaks of, when those we tried to liberate do not want us there. The continuing violence only proves this fact.

He then goes onto say, "We also pray that the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, and throughout the Greater Middle East, may live in safety and freedom. During this time, we continue to ask God's blessing for our Nation, granting us strength to meet the challenges ahead and wisdom as we work to build a more peaceful future for all."

Well, Mr. Bush it is my guess that the people of Iraq and Afghanistan are also praying to see you replaced come this fall because you have preyed upon them as well. I would like to know what safety and what freedoms you have brought those people, Mr. Bush? From many reports I have read, not much. The only thing you have brought them is sheer misery.

Yes, I want God's blessing and I only see that happening with your removal from office. You keep on citing God's message, but let me remind you, Mr. Bush, God does not approve of lies being told where the end result is death to the many innocents you have claimed. The very ones you have preyed upon. Yes, we do have many challenges before us, but we can prayerfully handle that and we pray that you suffer defeat in November. I only see a more peaceful world when you are not the commander in chief of our armed services.

I find the ending paragraph in this letter very interesting, Mr. Bush. It is where you state, "Now, therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 6, 2004, as a National Day of Prayer. I ask the citizens of our Nation to give thanks, each according to his or her own faith, for the freedoms and blessings we have received and for God's continued guidance and protection. I also urge all Americans to join in observing this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities."

This is about the only time that I see you as being proactive in anything that concerns the American people where you call for us to pray. Prayer alone is not action, Mr. Bush but a cop out. The only things you have been proactive at are the very things that have destroyed our reputation worldwide and where millions still to this day continue to suffer.

You have threatened our security as well. Howard Dean was correct when he said the capture of Saddam Hussein would not make for a safer world and the actions that have occurred since his capture only goes to prove you were wrong. You have preyed too long and we shall start praying and backing it up by action to insure that the world is rid of you. We do not have to attend any events on May 6th to pray to God. In my opinion, God would abhor the attending of said events as an outward sign as showmanship.

In essence, Mr. Bush, I just do not see you as being a prayerful man, but a man who preys upon the world's people with the death and destruction that only the Devil would sanction.
