"Justice Sunday" - Let the Blowhards Blow Themselves Down

You might have seen or heard about the Jimmy Swaggart-style mega-church gathering planned for April 24th called Justice Sunday. Besides the nice blown-up pic thanks to DailyKos, you might enjoy reading what the New York Times Editorial Board has to say about Billy Bob Frist's Religious War. Yes, the "medical doctor" who looked at a few minutes of old videotape and declared that Terri Schiavo wasn't brain-dead, the Sawbones Senator who couldn't admit that HIV can't be transmitted through tears or sweat, will be one of the speakers (by video), along with that moral man of WaterGate, Chuck Colson, at this beloved Convention of The Believers! Again I say, let 'em holler! Go, Bill, Go! Show your ignorant ass to the entire American electorate!

Our country was taken away from us when the Supremes short-circuited the 2000 election. They cemented their power with the mid-term elections of 2002. And with the help of privatized voting and the "mysterious" voting results from Ohio in 2004, completed the capture of government by the Corporations, for the Corporations, and of the major Institutional Corporate Shareholders. But with the newly-found swagger of The Boy following his election in 2004, we've seen a pre-planned overreaching that warms my heart.

Social Security DeForm: People don't get it, don't like it, don't believe The Boy's bullshit.

Terri Schiavo: People didn't fall for the grandstanding play made by those who would hold the King James Bible up with one hand while wiping their bottoms with the Constitution.

Activist Judges: Anyone who checks will find that over 90 per cent of BoyGeorge's nominated judges have been approved, unlike the stonewalling during the Clinton years, and that the somewhere between 7 and 10 judges he's already nominated are now up for re-nomination in order to stop the commie-pinko judges ruining this Christian country!

Personally, I hope everyone who digs for the truth will continue to work towards exposing these idiots for what they are. But the facts since 2000 show that many Americans have fallen for the branding and the lying rhetoric of these blowhards. However, when issues begin to hit home, like the Schiavo case and Social Security, people sit up and take notice. Hey, this might affect MY life! You betcha! So keep on with your agenda, Bill and Tom and all you holier-than-thou hypocrites. It ain't workin' - and to me, that's a good sign. A very good sign. How many Americans in the "red states" have watched while Wal-Mart destroyed their town squares, building outside the city limits to avoid paying taxes? How many have watched Big AgriBusiness put them out of business? How many have heard the empty words of "prosperity" while they and their spouses work 2 and 3 jobs, lose their pensions and their health insurance? Might I suggest many more "red staters" than your polls might demonstrate?

So, as progressives keep up the good fight, and a few folks like Barbara Boxer actually stand up against the thugs now in charge of YOUR government, I say let the BlowHards Blow Themselves Up! In my textaplay "The Day Karl Slimed Krist" I included a scene with a battle stations alert coupled with a big red sign above the stage that read "DEMOCRATS ARE THE AGENTS OF THE DEVIL!." By golly, that was set in 2006. But here's Doctor Bill calling Democrats "against people of faith" in 2005. Why must we "choose between public service and faith in Christ?" We mustn't, Bill. We don't have to, Bill. This country is not yet the theocracy you obviously dream of. And face it, soon there will be no white majority in this country. The melting pot will indeed be made up of many ethnic, religious, and diverse individuals and families. Your cry is that of a dangerous, wounded animal. And that fact is one to be treated with respect. Respect for one's own self preservation. So go right ahead and holler to the rooftops! Christ is on your side! The Christ you've defined and claim to speak on behalf of. In my opinion, Christ would be ashamed to know that fools like you are taken seriously by anyone looking for an honest answer in their own quest for faith. So enjoy "Just Us Sunday," Bill. And keep those radical right hot buttons coming! They serve only to expose your own empty shell of a public servant who's sold out so completely he's become the laughing stock of BOTH the medical community AND members of Congress who still know how to hold two conflicting thoughts in their minds at the same time.
