We Interupt This Broadcast for a Service Announcement

I normally don't use this as a typical blog but more of a record of my activism. But, with the looming election, I simply cannot resist the temptation to berate the lunatics who have recently taken the political stage.

Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin recently suggested that a gas pipeline was "God's will" and the Iraq War a "task that is from God." A striking response to these blasphemous comments can be found at newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith by Martin Mart, professor emeritus, the University of Chicago.

My thoughts are simple. To say that an act of war is the will of God is blasphemous. No longer do we live in the time of the Old Testament. And it is time for those who call themselves Christians to fulfill the responsibilities of Christ and not the ignorant and hegemonic ways of the Old Testament. I believe that the Christian extremist in America, the Far Right (including the Supreme Bitch Sarah Palin), will as Samson pull the temple walls down over our heads. There are too many of them, with their guns and hate speech. Too many damned fools who don't think enough about their actions and words.

Though I held some sentiment for John McCain earlier in the election, I have lost it. He has proven that not only will he alter his policies for the approval of others, but that he will turn the White House over to a group of people more ludicrous than we can imagine even eight-years after the start of one of our most lunatic administrations. A quote from the above article and "Mr. Dooley:" "A fanatic...knows he's doing exactly what the Lord would do if the Lord were also in possession of the facts."
