Help me pave the road, but be warned....you'll end up in HELL!
Earlier today at a war protest, I saw a rightie holding up a sign that read "The road to HELL is paved with pacifists and hippies."

So let me get this straight, if you are working for peace you are...headed to hell?

I started to ask the guy to explain the logic, but realizing who I would be dealing with I knew there would be no logic.

So who'll join me in paving the road...to HELL! LOL

2. The hottest places in Hell...
"President Kennedy's favorite quote was really from Dante : 'The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.'" Columbia University/Barnard Democratic Club, 10/5/64.

4. I thought the road to hell was paved with Republicans
Saw it on a bumper sticker in Rolla Missouri, of all places.

6. I have been paving my own personal road
to hell with only the very best of intentions for some time now and seem to be intent on continuing at breakneck speed.

7. You know, "hell"
in German means "light". And Jesus is the Prince of Peace--definately a pacifist. So I'll join you-and Him--on the road to Light (and enlightenment).

8. Do these people not see a disconnect?
I thought that the guy in the sandals and long hair that walked the Earth 2000 years ago said "Blessed are the peacemakers".

10. I learned years ago that the proper response to that is
to point and laugh. Laugh as hard as you can. It makes them feel humiliated.

11. have you ever heard to saying ...
"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"? The sign obviously meant that "hippies and pacifists" may have good intentions but are misguided. Agree or disagree with the sentiment but there's no need to play dumb and pretend we don't know what it means.
