Parting Shots...

This seems like a good time to close this down. The Trinity Administration has been split-up. By now, any claim to foreign policy expertise Republicans could have claimed over Democrats should be thoroughly discredited. Closing comments:

I'm going to try to turn the tone around. The poisonous, malignant environment permeating American politics cannot remain. My rationale for this belief is simple. Americans are just as responsible for Iraq and America's free-fall in international status as the Trinity Administration is. We voted for these clowns (the implication being that we knew what these people were about and yet we picked them anyway). I'll take this a step further. Democrats are not without blame, especially in 2004, because we picked a candidate who was unappealing to a vast majority of Americans, and who offered few fundamental differences when it came to principles (Kerry's vote for the war was a political decision, disconnected from principle).

I obviously hold strong personal opinions about this Administration, but given the seriousness of our country's plight, now is not the time to engage in finger-pointing. There will be plenty of time for that once our brave men and women in uniform are out of harm's way. For the forceable future, I think it behooves everyone to look for solutions, not scapegoats. Of course, this statement comes during a week in which our President is trying to make the Iraqi President a scapegoat, but my admonition is to those of us who still have our ethical credentials intact. We can expect continued arrogance, incompetence, deceit, and corruption from Republicans, but the country is counting on Democrats to seize the opportunity we've been given to lead with clarity, vision, and insightfulness. Let the President continue his politics of division and deceit. I'm stepping out of the role of opposition and taking things to the next level. Bush and Cheney are lame ducks, the Holy Spirit has departed from their midsts. Let's change the whole game...

One More Thing

This blog will soon go dead. I'm too afraid of my opinions preventing me from doing the things I want to do. I'm looking to restore America to its full democratic glory, but to do that I may need to fraternize with the people destroying her. They may not look favorably upon my musings, so this may very well be the last public post. I may continue writing and make things public again once I'm more certain of my career path. 'Till then, Google spiders, Goodnight.

Renewed Faith

News has been coming so fast and so furiously it seems pointless to dwell on it because the next bombshell always seems to drop before I've thoroughly digested the last one. This latest outing of a prominent right-wing leader, the Rev. Ted Haggard, is just too miraculous to ignore, however. It's as if Satan was trying to inject his influence by tripping up everyone's favorite flip-flopper, but Jesus was right there to say, "Hold it, you're not gonna get away with that again." It's as if he's taking pains to emphasize how far from his favor the so-called "Christian Conservatives" are. He keeps dropping them one by one, exposing the evil hypocrisy that is this movement's hallmark: the exploitation of good, decent people, manipulating them to vote for charlatans who openly mock the cause of Christ with their very existence the moment they are out of the public eye (and I'm not referring to their closeted homosexuality). The cynical anti-American, anti-Christian rhetoric espousing the superiority of one category of people over another that The Son used last week to "rally the faithful" continues (through ongoing revelations like the latest one) to be exposed for exactly what it is: preying on the prejudices of the masses in order to scare them into ignoring what's good for them. But Hallelujah! It's as if Jesus himself has entered this battle to proclaim his disdain for everything the Trinity Administration stands for. I'm only half serious, of course, but perhaps if I were a person of greater faith I really would believe this. If Christians, having seen all the widely available evidence chronicling this Administration's cynical manipulation of people of faith, continue to embrace the Republican agenda of fear, tyranny, bigotry and racism... well I won't know what to say.

I will make a prediction, however. I think post-Presidency, The Son's guilt over his involvement in The Father's covert plans to overthrow America, in his direct responsibility for creating thousands of widows and orphans, for sending hundreds of thousands to an early grave, will bring him back to his 30-something habits, and his demise will be behind the wheel of an automobile while under the influence of his old demons. That's how I think this guy will go out. Just my opinion, of course.
