��� George Carlin 'We Like War'
Its the old American double standard you know,say one thing do something different.' And of course the country is founded on on the double standard. That our history. We were founded on a very basic double standard,This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be 'free.' Am i right?
A group of slave owners ,who wanted to be free.' So they killed a lot of white English people in order to continue owning their black African people,so that they could wipe out the rest of the red Indian people and move west and still the land from the brown Mexican people,give them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people.'
You know what the motto,you what the motto of this country ought to be,you give us a color we'll wipe it out! we got it.' So any way about 80 years after the constitution is ratified, 80 years later the slaves are freed' NOT SO YOU REALLY NOTICE IT'of course,just sorta on the paper. and that was of course during the civil war.'
Now there's another phrase i dearly love' that is a true oxymoron if i've ever heard one. CIVIL-WAR' you think any country could really have a civil war? say pardon me'.......shots fired....! im awfully sorry:( im awfully sorry.' So, now of course the civil war has been over for about 120 years but not so you really notice it.' cause we still have these people called civil war buffs' people who thought it was a really keen war.'
And they study the battles carefully and they try to improve on the strategies and the tactics to increase the body count' incase we have to go through it again sometime.' In fact some of these people will actually get dressed up in uniforms once a year and re-fight these battles.' you know what i say? use live 'Ammunition assholes! would you please.'
You might just raise the intelligence level of the American gene pool.' But what do you expect,hey come on this is a war like country, we come from that northern European,basically the northern European genes,the blue eyes,those blues eyes,boy everybody in the world learned real quick, when those blues eyes sailed out of the north you better nail everything down mother fucker.' Nail it down,strap it down or they'll grab it, if they can't take it home they'll burn it, if they can't burn it they'll fuck it! That's what happen to us.'
And its a war like ' country' come on i mean forget foreign policy even the domestic rhetoric is war like,everything about out domestic policy 'invokes' the thought of war.' We don't like something in this country we declare war on it.' The war on 'poverty' The war of 'drugs' The war on 'crime' The war on 'aids' The war on ' cancer' We got the only national anthem that mentions fuckin rockets and bombs in the god damn thing! you know what i mean?
alright.

'War is a conflict involving the organized use of weapons and physical force by states or other large-scale groups. Warring parties usually hold territory, which they can win or lose; and each has a leading person or organization which can surrender, or collapse, thus ending the war. Wars are usually a series of campaigns between two opposing sides involving a dispute over sovereignty, territory, resources, religion, or ideology. A war to liberate an occupied country is called a 'war of liberation'; a war between internal factions within a state is a civil war. Until the end of World War II, participants usually issued formal declarations of war.
Wars must be'
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.' (Mark 13:7-8)

Deuteronomy 20Deuteronomy 20 (The Message)
View In MyBible • One verse per line1 When you go to war against your enemy and see horses and chariots and soldiers far outnumbering you, do not recoil in fear of them; God, your God, who brought you up out of Egypt is with you.
2 When the battle is about to begin, let the priest come forward and speak to the troops.
3 He'll say, 'Attention, Israel. In a few minutes you're going to do battle with your enemies. Don't waver in resolve. Don't fear. Don't hesitate. Don't panic.
4 God, your God, is right there with you, fighting with you against your enemies, fighting to win.'
5 Then let the officers step up and speak to the troops: 'Is there a man here who has built a new house but hasn't yet dedicated it? Let him go home right now lest he die in battle and another man dedicate it.
6 And is there a man here who has planted a vineyard but hasn't yet enjoyed the grapes? Let him go home right now lest he die in battle and another man enjoy the grapes.
7 Is there a man here engaged to marry who hasn't yet taken his wife? Let him go home right now lest he die in battle and another man take her.'
8 The officers will then continue, 'And is there a man here who is wavering in resolve and afraid? Let him go home right now so that he doesn't infect his fellows with his timidity and cowardly spirit.'
9 When the officers have finished speaking to the troops, let them appoint commanders of the troops who shall muster them by units.
10 When you come up against a city to attack it, call out, 'Peace?'
11 If they answer, 'Yes, peace!' and open the city to you, then everyone found there will be conscripted as forced laborers and work for you.
12 But if they don't settle for peace and insist on war, then go ahead and attack.
13 God, your God, will give them to you. Kill all the men with your swords.
14 But don't kill the women and children and animals. Everything inside the town you can take as plunder for you to use and eat - God, your God, gives it to you.
15 This is the way you deal with the distant towns, the towns that don't belong to the nations at hand.
16 But with the towns of the people that God, your God, is giving you as an inheritance, it's different: don't leave anyone alive.
17 Consign them to holy destruction: the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, obeying the command of God, your God.
18 This is so there won't be any of them left to teach you to practice the abominations that they engage in with their gods and you end up sinning against God, your God.
19 When you mount an attack on a town and the siege goes on a long time, don't start cutting down the trees, swinging your axes against them. Those trees are your future food; don't cut them down. Are trees soldiers who come against you with weapons?
20 The exception can be those trees which don't produce food; you can chop them down and use the timbers to build siege engines against the town that is resisting you until it falls.
Comment
Belief in these words can justify any war and atrocity against nations. Yet Jesus here tells us that we should not feel troubled by it as long as we have belief in Him.When Jesus prophesies about the future, he gives the message that we have no control over our lives other than to choose or not choose a belief in the Lord. With such a message, it should not surprise anyone why the Religious Right does little to strive against war.
