A dark day for Satanists...

In times past (circa 1-30 A.S.) we would have welcomed (most of the time) a Republican government. But now Bush has been re-elected I hear the 6th Satanic Statement ringing in my ears! He's a friggin imbecile! Ok so he has a reasonable shadow cabinate but effectivly the worlds most powerful nation is subject to the whims of a child-minded imbecile for another term!
Whats more is the backwards values of this government promise to oppress those who have worked so hard for their emancipation - and not just homosexuals.
I urge any and all Satanists out there to use the 10th Key against him to get it out of their system - just make sure you got a bombshelter handy. I will be doing it myself as soon as I go offline.
Shemhamforash!
Hail Satan!
[edit]
I've posted plenty for regular people and left wingers, this is a post for Satanists - if your not a Satanist I don't expect you to get it (but if you care you can find out with a little help from google).

What the "hell" are you talking about?
He is being partly playful about it, but what he is talking about is related to this (for example):
The Nine Satanic Sins
by Anton Szandor LaVey ©1987
1. Stupidity: The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.
2. Pretentiousness: Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.
3. Solipsism: Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of "Do unto others as they do unto you." It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.
4. Self-deceit: It’s in the "Nine Satanic Statements" but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!
5. Herd Conformity: That’s obvious from a Satanic stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many.
6. Lack of Perspective: Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.
7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies: Be aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.
8. Counterproductive Pride: That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.
9. Lack of Aesthetics: This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied.
In their point of view, Bush is at least guilty of 6 of this 9. And if you just do a quick search in the web, you'll find more answers.

Regardless, if this keeps up, I think we might need an old priest and a young priest....

Nice one The Nine Satanic Statements
The Nine Satanic Statements ©1969
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
Was what I was refering to. Other than that spot on - I must confess I forgot about the sins (and Bush violates all of them) but going by the statements Bush is the new JC!
And year 1 Anno Satanas is 1969 Western Common Era. The A.S. signifies in the year of Satan so every year after that is 'the year' of Satan [edit - or Stan if you miss an 'a']. Of course there are many republican candidates I would not have supported in that period but in this new millinia Bush is excatly what we don't need.
PS: Now find out what the 10th Key reference is! :P I guaranty that if anyone but a Satanist or someone who is really twisted finds out they'll hate me :D

Why is 1969 the year of Satan when you have Hitler, the atomic bomb, slavery, etc. in the past?

Several reasons:
Kick ass Woodstock
Luna Landing
...
Foundation of the Church of Satan
I wouldn't like to get into details (especally not on this thread) but the reasons Satanists like Hitler, nukes and slavery are not why you'd think (not that any of these have much to do with Satanism).

Okay the foundation of the church, that works for me but I think that the year of Satan would be MUCH further ago. I mean, in religious theory (religion is just theory), Jesus sent Satan back to hell when he died (if you believe in Catholocism). So I imagine the year of Satan would be the year he came out of hell. Don't know when that would be though, humanity is marred with evil events. Which beckons my question, Satan was never sent back to hell was he?
But then again I'm agnostic so I don't buy any of it.

Agnostic means you might by into religions. Athesit would mean you by it.
Because in '69 a man named Anton LaVey looked at socioty, realised that it when against almost everything in the bible and that most sins where good and that religion was dead/dieing so he founded the Church of Satan believing things would getter better/worse and has accuratly predicted world events and culture changes right upto the current 'terror' climate and the new crusades.
69 was when one man had the attitudes of the 21st century and acted on them.

Agnostic means that I don't know if God exists or not and therefore I don't have the ability to make a choice on the fator. Therefore no religions appeal to me nor do any gods.
