The Inmates are Running the Asylum
How much damage will men like George Bush, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Sam
Brownback, Ralph Reed, and Rick Santorum inflict before reason prevails and
they are unmasked as the twisted, malevolent charlatans that they are?
Fundamentalist Christians, adherents to a nauseating perversion of
Christianity (conjured from their twisted imaginations and their distorted
interpretations of the Bible) wield a significant amount of power in the
United States, socially and politically. Fund-raising, promotional, and
organizational skills have enabled these Corpora-Fascist Capitalists
masquerading as practitioners of the Christian faith to gain pervasive
influence over the Republican Party. Despite recent blows, Republicans
still control the Executive and Legislative branches of government, and are
well on their way to dominating the Judicial branch by appointing judges
who zealously rule in ways which promote the Social Darwinism, elitism,
bigotry, property rights, and corporate power the Christo-Fascist
Fundamentalist Christians crave.
God Bless America? Surely You Jest
One of the rationalizations for the illegal occupation of Iraq (and the
murders of over one hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians) is that the
United States is engaged in a struggle of "good versus evil". . .

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).
Sherman v. Community Consol. Dist. 21, 980 F.2d 437, 445 (7th Cir. 1992)
