The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly; their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

- Psalms 37:14-15

When I tell people that I work on immigration reform, they usually laugh or say, "way to pick an easy topic." Everyday it feels like there is more fear, more hate.

The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly; their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. – Psalms 37:14-15 The way this is placed on the website and with the posting that are on today I know that Kennedy – Poloci and Feinstein and the leadership of ‘Sojourners’ believe that we are out to only kill “poor and needy” Iraqi’s. They seem to fail to read that the people that do not want a free elected gov’t in Iraq are using their own citizens as shields so that we will not attack. KPF & Sojo will believe anything that is neg. about the Bush Adm and not check their sources. We are shooting at people that are shooting at us and then again only when we know that most of the innocent people are as far away as possible. The Blue people needed something else to ‘dis’ the Reds. I care that one day Iraqi women could go to work, school, shopping and not live in fear of their leaders in Gov’t but liberals don’t care. Yes please – lets work with the UN Syria and Iran to settle this issue in Iraq – they are trustworthy people and respect international law…right. Our gov’t is so corrupt and our millitary just a bunch of D- students that are into hazing everyone why would the world trust us to do anything. Bring me a sword – there is no reason to be purple so let me just bleed red. One less Red Guy – KPF should break out the bubbly and toast to world peace – whatever that is in their world.>
