Politics in Star Wars Episode III?

[Kimato]

I'm sure many of you have heard the ramblings and theories about the last installment of the Star Wars saga being a political ploy, and that George Lucas was presenting a not-so-humorous satire of what he believes is going to eventually happen. Please visit the following sites:

After visiting, reading, and watching the video if your computer is capable on Infowars, comment. Thank you!

Well, what Palpine did in the New Trilogy will probably happen in the future. But I believe it will be the Antichrist who eventually uses these methods.

[Kimato]

As do I. Believe that it will be the anti-Christ, that is. And before anyone says "George W. Bush IS the anti-Christ!!!", please spare us your ignorance and refer to the book of Revelations in the New Testament of the Bible (perfectly acceptable reference on the anti-Christ, since the topic of anti-Christ generally falls under Christian beliefs), where the anti-Christ is described as coming from the Middle East. The part of this that made me the most disgusted was the entire spiel about President Bush being compared to Palpatine. The same liberal factions that have so often tried to say that Bush was too stupid to be President are now trying to say he's too smart, too cunning, and too dangerously powerful to be President! Thoughts, anyone?

*snorts* People think Bush is the anti-Christ? Really? *uncontrolled laughter* Sorry people. Perhaps 'people' should be replaced with 'moronic liberals', though, it's unlikely because I'd hate to think that I appologized to a liberal. George W. Bush is possibly the most Christian president we've had. Which is why the liberals don't like him. And since the media is controled by liberals, that's why Bush is always getting the bad face. Now, Bill Clinton, the liberals LOVED him. If he had done the stuff Bush is doing, we wouldn't be hearing 'President starts war!' We'd be hearing 'President brings peace!' And what a wonderful guy Bill was! He adultered in office, fled the draft, and need I remind you: he did NOT inhale. All I'm saying is, if a democratic president were to do the stuff Bush were doing, everyone would love him. Of course, a domocrat wouldn't because it's against their 'policies'. Or maybe it's lack of guts. Who knows?

Is this a good time to same that I detest all liberals and democrats?

Kimato, I've heard that the anti-Christ is meant to come from the Middleeast before but I've never read that in Revelations. What verse is it?

I personally think that the anti-Christ will be a pope (not this pope, no, too old. But he was a nazi, so whatever!). But no one wants me boring them with an hour long discussion of End Times, so I'll shut up. ;D

[Kimato]

Now now, Hanson. This is not a rant against liberals, it is a rant against a conspiracy theory formulated by mainly liberal lay-political factions and "expositioners" if that's even a word.
As for the Revelations...it may NOT be in Revelations...it may be in another book, in which case I apologize. In any case, I will get right on finding that for you!

Just to help you, Kimato, I'm thinking it's in one of the Old Testament prophet books... Ezekiel or Isaiah, maybe. I'll check for it too. Also, it is the Book of Revelation. No 's'. I don't mean any offense by that; it's just a pet peeve of mine.

[Kimato]

None taken, Rune. That's kind of like a certain man we all know and respect who has a penchant for saying things the "proper" way (i.e. "Eyez-EYE-uh" instead of Eye-zay-uh"), right?

Anyway, yes, I think you're right, though I haven't gotten around to finding it yet. I'll put that on my list of things to look up during my quiet time tonight.

Back on the topic:
For those of you who actually watch that video (which you need to, to be able to really talk about anything on this thread), what do you think about the rumors of policemen walking around in Darth Vader-esque uniforms. Personally, if our local police dressed like Darth Vader, I would make a habit out of hugging them, getting my picture taken with them, and asking for autographs.

[Argis]

Ok even though I hate George W. Bush. He IS not the Anti-Christ! and face it George Lucas wrote those books in the 70's a if it about any war it is the veitnam or cold. its just stupid repbulican parinoia.

[Kimato]

Err, unfortunately Argis...I agreed with you up until the whole Republican paranoia outburst. Please try to curb your hatred toward Republicans enough to make an intelligent contribution to the discussion. It is not a conservative OR Rebublican organization that is making these allegations. It is a LIBERAL one. L-I-B-E-R-A-L. Liberal.
Why would Republicans try to defame George W. Bush? HE'S a Republican!
Thank you.

I think that that article is quite humorous to read, actually. It's kind of fun to read and watch liberal material, for you can so often find flaws in them...*chuckles* But yeah, the whole story is bogus.

Anyway, if you're searching for where the Anti-Christ will come from, you would be right to look in the Old Testament, though I believe it's in one of the Minor Prophets, if I'm not mistaken. At least I think so...
