I DON'T BLAME JESUS FOR "CHRISTIAN" POLITICIANS

Yes, these are the modern Christians of 21st Century America. It's sad, but many are throwbacks to the 17th Century. The Republican Party, as led by Herr Ubermeister Karl Rove, planned correctly, banking on a group mentality. The GOP continues to, in addressing not only the fundamentalist Christian issues, prey upon the fears, no matter how irrational and unreal. According to the GOP, the party that cares not one iota about the individual person, Democrats are the godless enemy that will allow evil Muslims to destroy America and take away your way of life and freedoms.

One need only read a history of how the National Socialists stole power in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s to comprehend where Herr Rove has taken Amerika so far, and intends to go with his nefarious plans.

Yes, these are good Christians, well-intentioned all, and I'm not disparaging anyone for their religion. Yet, they've been Bushwhacked by GOP propaganda, a lame-brained mainstream media, and self-serving preachers into voting for politicians who: Turn other nations into rubble for no good reason; allow the merciless torture of human beings (as long as they ain't Christians); engage in secret dealings which cost the citizens more and more in taxes and out-of-pocket expenses, while their cronies get richer by the minute; have systematically dismantled our Constitution and severely limited the Bill of Rights; spy upon Americans without cause or warrants; lie on a daily basis; openly alter laws or renege on existing policies as suits their whims and needs; since January 21, 2001 have consistently acted neither in accord with the wishes of the people, nor kept the Nation abreast of the activities in which they have been engaged.

America, it's time to wake up. The tyrannical rule from which George W. Bush said he was saving the Iraqi people -- killing countless tens of thousands of them in the process, plus some 2,300 American troops to date, while draining America's financial and military resources to the point where we're far less secure than in January, 2003 - well, that very same tyrannical rule is spreading across our Nation from the inside.

It began the day Herr Rove fixed the Florida elections, and the man behind America's Fuhrerprinzip, Cheese Justice William H. Rehnquist illegally elevated the puppet to King George XLIII of Amerika.

But what the hell -- Glory Hallelujah, anyway! Everything George W. bush does, he does in the name of Jesus, don'cha know!

"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it-- Milton Mayer -- Excerpt from pages 166-73 of "They Thought They Were Free" First published in 1955 (compliments to Information Clearing House.com)

Shalom, y'all.

AMERICA CONTINUES TO BE HELD HOSTAGE - our White House and the Executive Branch are overrun by the Karl Rove-controlled Neo-con Fascist Regime.
Impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, run the rest of their cabal out of our Nation's Capital.
