By lib standards…

Funny… In the new Star Wars movie, the future Darth Vader looks at Obi Wan and says, “If you’re not with me, you’re with my enemies.”

Of course libs around the world seized on this to prove that Bush is the head of an evil empire with his simplistic “with us or against us” strategy. The comparisons to Bush have been free-flowing.

So the lesson learned is “if you say the same thing, you’re the same person.”

By that standard, George W. Bush is Jesus Christ himself.

In today’s Gospel (Mark 9:38-40), John and Jesus are talking:

John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”

Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me.

For whoever is not against us is for us.

You liberals really have to learn how to shut your mouths. Everything you say backfires on you.

Sure he’s compared to Darth Vader. But if a liberal did something with a bible besides mock it, they’d know that Jesus said the very same thing used the very same logic that George W. Bush used that drives libs nuts.

    Logically, the two statements are almost completely incompatible.

    Assume A = Against us, W = With us, N = Nuetral (accounting for all three possible choices), where A&W (mmm…) can never exist within the same superset.

    Vader’s statement “If you’re not with me, you’re with my enemies,” creates an “enemies” set grouping N with A and a “friends” set of W; while “For whoever is not against us is for us” creates a “friends” set of N and W with an “enemies” set of A. The resulting sets are completely different for any N > 0, thus almost infinitely incompatible.
