[You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? Matt 7:16]

What's the smell of sulfur but the smell of evil?

But we can't say we weren't warned.

The child is father to the man.

The boy blows up frogs by shoving firecrackers up their ass and lighting the fuse, according to a boyhood friend.

The man becomes the Torturer-in-Chief.

I'd say that's Moral Clarity, straight up.

Looks to me like the entire Beltway is infested with POTL, every damned one of them selling or buying into the steaming load of blood-streaked crap Bush is selling them. Listening to the tittering "liberals" on NPR use Orwellian language to describe torture is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.

Hell yeah, Bush stinks of sulfur.

And Bush stinks of whatever else the torture room stinks of: Blood, shit, piss, vomit, sweat, the plastic bags to wrap the corpses in. The souls of the damned that crust the walls. And the souls of the children who ask "What did you do in the war, Daddy?"

But does the Beltway notice the stink?

Notice it? They like it.

If there is a God, and if She is just, these people will end up in the deepest pits of hell.

Not only are they themselves evil, they're dragging their followers, and the entire country, into the pit along with them. ("It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." Luke 17:2)

NOTE Our hair's been on fire about Republican evil for a long, long time. Nice to see the rest of the blogosphere noticing the suffocating odor and calling a cloven hoof a cloven hoof at last.
