weeping jesus on the cross

guess i’ll have to change my saying because apparently, jesus doesn’t weep- and he advocates torture.  i admit- i am stymied.  i have no idea how so called sentient beings can be so very stupid.  i considered myself a christian at one point in my life- in fact, i was raised baptist.  now, as batshit crazy as southern baptists are- and as nazi-ish as they are about what women wear to church- never once heard them say jesus was anything but love.  not once.

my sweet buddy dusty rants about the big dick… cheney and she makes a good point that we should not be giving him any airtime.  i guess the corporate overlords disagree- but take heart- folks are beginning to question that airtime big dick is getting.  more and more folks are beginning to try and tackle the lies and the propaganda but i don’t think it matters.  see, here’s the thing- he isn’t trying to win over anyone- he’s giving the faithful what they need- the strength to carry out what is coming next.

america has a decision to make- and if we dither it may be made for us.  do we fight to retake our democratic republic? or do we decide to scrap the wreck and make a new country?  we have to decide as a nation- are we ready to condone torture- or will we reject it?  it isn’t just that torture doesn’t work- it’s taking a hard look at the bigger picture- the cheney administration tortured people simply because they could.  cheney lied- and continues to lie and twist the truth and pretty much do whatever the hell he feels like- because he can.  folks who get in the way- well, mystery generally surrounds their death.

there is a large number of people in this nation who believe that ‘white is right’ and that anyone who doesn’t think their way- is wrong.  and the disheartening part about the whole thing- the folks are on the left and the right. there is a small number of folks who still believe in the truth- in real history and in facing the past and present with courage despite the fact that it is pretty ugly.  they are the folks who are disparaged by the likes of  lindsey graham.

no matter what happens in the near future- america can never be the same.  we have lost more than our civil liberties- we have lost the essence of who we were and what we stood for.  our illusions have been shattered and even if we made the decision to reclaim what we were- it would be different.  we are no longer ‘the innocents abroad‘ or at home.
