A Time for Thanksgiving-Not Always in November

I know it’s not Thanksgiving but we are a grateful people and we need to always take the opportunity to thank people for the good things that they have done.

So let me start out by thanking the President of the United States for creating a war that ultimately determined that this nation is no longer divided 50/50. Indeed we are now are divided 70/30 and that probably won’t change much. It is important, however, to thank that 30% of Americans who stand by George Bush. They continually remind me and all of America that despite attempts by George Bush to destroy our Constitution and defame the integrity of the Declaration of Independence, that they have finally been put on notice that the people of the United States will no longer put up with their intolerance, ignorance and shallow thinking.

We have wasted six, going on seven years cow towing to ignorance. We all should extend a grateful thanks to that 30% for the wake-up call to all of American.

It is remarkable to me that this Congress of the United States cannot find sufficient data to prosecute this Administration. A previous President was impeached for a crime against his wife, yet this President who has caused the death of over 3,000 young Americans and life-long injuries to tens of thousands more, is not held accountable for his phony war, in any way, shape or form.

America should indeed be thankful to the Creator that there are only 30% of Americans who continue to think that this President has served honorably despite the fact that he hasn’t. And if you look at his Military record, if it can be found, he has not served at all.

What I would recommend to that 30% of American’s who continue to feel that George Bush is the Savior of this Nation is that you immediately write to your Congressperson, and demand the reinstitution of the Military Draft, this time without exemptions, like in Dick Cheney's plea, "I had better things to do" (didn't we all).

I suspect if that happened that 30% may drop even lower and ignorance and intolerance may start to dwindle.

Goodbye Jerry Falwell and Good Riddance

Jerry Falwell is dead and I have been struggling with my conscience about being nice or not, my conscience says follow the theme of your Blog and be truthful, so be it.

So here goes, Jerry Falwell was, in my opinion, one of the most hypocritical religious figures ever to use Christ as a means to acquire wealth. Don’t get me wrong, his counterpart Pat Robertson is probably the most obnoxious and the biggest blood sucking legionnaire of the anti-Christ.

But I digress, the issue is Jerry Falwell and while all the politicians will be praising his name and all the great accomplishments none will offer to the public his most famous positions:

“Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America”

“If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”

“AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals”

“It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening”

“The whole (global warming) thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability”

“Homosexuality is Satan's diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.”

"[homosexuals are] brute beasts...part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven.”

These are just some examples of how Jerry Falwell leached his way to wealth while diminishing other human beings. I am sure that the gates of Hell are strewed with flames tonight as they welcome Jerry Falwell home. With any luck they will stoke up the flames for his comfort.

I am told that it is not within my power to forgive, only God can forgive, hence I will not forgive Jerry Falwell for all the pain and suffering he has brought to this Nation. The division he has caused using a saber that he called Christ is unforgivable in the mind of a sane patriotic American.

Goodbye Jerry Falwell and good riddance, if God was really good She would have dumped you in Hell a lot sooner.

I'm Not Ready To Make Nice - No Reason To

This is an excerpt from the Dixie Chicks song “I’m Not Ready To Make Nice”

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should.

This is great music and a great sentiment. These words were written after these women were literally crucified by Country Music because they chose to express their freedom of speech in opposition to George Bush’s War. They were threatened by “red” blooded Americans with assassination and their music was literally banned from Country music radio. They told the truth and they were demonized by America for doing so.

This is what this Republican administration has done to so many people of truth and all Americans should not be ready to make nice.

Shame on America for falling into the trap but congratulations to three women and their team for sticking to their guns..

Hate becomes Christianity and Islam - They are reflections of each other.

"This country will not be a permanently good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a reasonably good place for all of us to live in." Theodore Roosevelt, Chicago, IL, June 17, 1912.
On October 6-7, 1998 outside of Laramie, Wyoming, a young gay, Matthew Sheperd, was beaten to a pulp and left to die because he was gay.
Mahoud Asgari, 17 and Ayaz Marhoni,16 were publicly hanged in Edalat Square in Iran on July 19, 2005, after they were accused of being lovers by the Islamic Government.
On the night of March 13-14, 2007 just outside of Winter Haven, Florida, a young gay man was stabbed 20 times, his throat was slit and his body dumped on the side of the road, the reason for this, he was gay.
The United States House of Representatives recently passed a bill to include this type abhorrent violence directed solely against America’s seemingly final minority, as a repugnant crime. Yet the President of the United States has vowed to veto this legislation. One has to ask why any President would condone this type of behavior. As it turns out Christian leadership is on the vanguard of pressuring the President’s veto. Their argument is that they will not be able to spread the “Gospel” if their interpretations of the Gospels include spreading hatred against one small community. They are afraid they might be held accountable, as they should, for murder and violence in the name of Jesus.
The United States Constitution guarantees the right of separation of Church and State and that Government will not interfere in the affairs of Religion or that Religion should not interfere in the rights of American citizens pursuing their freedoms of Religion or from religion, and most of all their pursuit of the Freedom from being murdered and mutilated by Christian or Islamic fundamentalists.
