.. then, while you're at it, you could
explain to us how this post is anti-American.
The sheep mentality of most americans causes them to see "nation" and
"the nation's president" as the same thing. Something which needed a
lot of propaganda to achieve in the soviet union.
That one drives me *NUTS.* Say anything about Bush and you get back
"why
do you hate America?"
Does this mean the Republicans "hated America" during the Clinton
administration?
Of course, the distressing thing is that we've reached a point at which
if
you chant something often enough to the public, they'll believe it.
People
in the US now believe Iraq was behind 9/11, the WMDs have been found,
and
that they were used against US troops during the war.
So we're ripe for dictatorship now...
Perhaps so, but not in the manner I assume you're
imagining.
The greatest threat to democracy - as I see it - is the
Evangelical/Christian Coalition movement. Not being
prone to paranoia, it has become obvious to me, that
these folks have insidiously infiltrated our school systems,
Judiciary, police, media, political offices, and just about
everything else including, of course, the internet and NGs
(don't believe for a moment that the plethora of right-
wing dogma and personal attacks on liberals, as seen in
all Usenet news groups, and others as well, are merely
coincidental).
In the school systems? Prayer is banned in the schools, moron. Local kids
can't even recite the pledge.
Their preachers preach political dogma in their sermons
while illegally maintaining a tax free (religious org.)
status. The Coalition's financial power is enormous, they
are well organized, and driven by a lust for power and a
hate for anything liberal. They have organized the perfect
propaganda machine - located in every community across
the nation... with the most gullible among us as their
unwitting victims... and their most vocal supporters.
What about the ACLU? They remain tax free and have a loud political
message.
The ACLU is not violating seperation of church and state by pushing
religion into government via their congregation.
The ACLU is trying to enforce the First Amendment by trying to keep
religion from biasing our government via their congregation, trying to
promote freedom of religion by making sure no one faith uses the
government as their pulpit.
Something can be done about this before it's too late -
they can be stripped of their tax-free status, but liberals,
in their live and let live ideology, are prone too much
towards passivity, while others are too afraid to attack
any aspect of religion (even if it is operating outside of
the law). The born-again religious zealots realize this, so
take the advantage!
What do you suggest? Burn churches?
Pat Robertson may have failed in his bid to be president,
but he may get his wish to be King Emperor after all...
while liberal Americans sit around with their collective
thumbs up their collective asses!
Pat is an washed up old man who few take serious. Have you seen the
financial on his TV network? You are a fucking idiot who sees Christians
swimming in his soup.
socialism = communism with a flush toilet.
