Is Bush the anti-Christ, seriously?
Now anyone who knows me knows I am not a religious person. I have always had issues with organized religion because all of them find a way to blame others and exclude people. It is like a spiritual country club.
Anyway I remember watching the Omen and the big plot was that the next anti-Christ was would surface from politics. hmmm. Also that he was surrounded by power people who protected him. Ok someone call an exorcist for America.
This week I have been really thinking how crazy this country has become and how I wonder if we are at some kind of cold civil war. I decided to just make a quick list instead of rambling forever:
* radical fundamentalist Islamic = radical fundamentalist Christian
think about it for a second. Is there really a difference?Pat Robertson calling for the assignation of an elected official( he is such a Christian). Extremist calling for the killing of abortion doctors and judges. Who are the terrorist? This is scary stuff!!!!!!
* Ok I don't think you should be able to use the words freedom or democracy if you do not understand what they mean. Am I wrong but isn't the reason we are in Iraq is to promote these ideas? So when Americans exercise these rights at home we are called terrorist and un-American....WTF?
* On that subject apparently the head of the American Legion has called to arms to stop any anti-war movements using any means necessary? Ok he might want to clarify that statement cause to me that sounds like a call for aggression in order to deny freedom of speech. Very America. Me being me I sent him an email:
Dear Mr. Cadmus,
I have to say as a past supporter of the American Legion I was extremely alarmed when I read your comments about using whatever means to stand against anyone who opposes the War in Iraq. Isn't the reason we are fighting this war is to ensure democracy and isn't democracy the ability to speak freely even if it is critical of government policy? I am afraid that stances like these only bring America closer to civil disruption and shows the world that democracy is not a real idea but just an empty phrase.I also find it a bit hypocritical that you can support this war but in 99 the legion refused to support the President with the troubles in Yugoslavia.
Please support democracy in the US and in the world.
Sincerely,
James in Atlanta
Before you question my stance as a supporter, I use to volunteer with a civic group in high school that supported them and I bought too much of their crappy candy.
* My last rant of the day is how the government has spent billions on Iraq, and more importantly thousands of lives only to let the new government to become less of a democracy and offer less rights them when Saddam was in power??? Once again WTF? I can not believe that the government is ok with this constitution draft. After all the cost don't you think we could get at least this one detail right?
