The Apocalypse of Fletcher, ch. 6

Another oracle, given in the fourth year of President Bush:

Hear, Vancouver, incline your ears to what I say. Listen to my words and be enlightened: Your government has taken advantage of you; it is using you to make money. Your president and vice-president each make 2 billion dollars off opium sales in Afghanistan, and they are selling oil straight out of Iraq. This is nothing new, you should know, for Ronald Reagan wanted to become the world's first trillionaire. Indeed Bill Clinton was an imposter. Hear my words, oh Vancouver, this government's time has come to an end! Its sins have grown too large for the LORD to bear.

Hear, Cascadia, your sins! The LORD has a lawsuit against you! You elected Republicans, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, and they have gone against my wishes, as have all the Republicans before them. Now you elect a man, George W. Bush, not once but twice, who has gone further than all of these. He has gone further than all leaders before him, even exceeding George Washington, the first Republican, and his outstanding tax record. Bush is a continuation of the Republican Party that has afflicted this nation since 1776.

Since you refuse to listen to my decrees, oh Cascadia, you will surely suffer. You will not be destroyed, and indeed you will come away stronger, but you must be subject to affliction, devastation, and tribulation for a time, times, and half a time.
