no more pretending


Lets pretend that this nation still functions as our Founding Fathers intended, you know a country proud of religious freedom and prouder of freedom from religion. Lets pretend that the Evangelical Baptist Bible thumping, hell and damnation preachers and pastors work only on Sunday’s stand only in front of their congregants gathered in their own private house of worship. Lets pretend that only the religious Jihadists come from the Middle East. Lets pretend that we being the numero uno country in the world able to nuke the other countries five times over if we desire, certainly understand the validity of our Constitution which insisted there shall be no official government sanctioned religion. Lets pretend that the Tea Party was actually a movement of articulate men who studied the US Constitution trying to refine and refresh the qualities of democracy instead of ban its words. Lets pretend that the Tea Party was actually a movement of women who just wanted to clear the air on the rights and freedoms of this nation instead of the purification of religious dogma. 
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Tuesday grilled a pastor who supports the separation of church and state, asking him why he did not share the “good news” that non-Christians were going to Hell. “Do you believe in sharing the good news that will keep people from going to Hell, consistent with Christian beliefs?” the Texas Republican wondered. A Republican state legislator miffed about an Arkansas judge's ruling that struck down the state's same-sex marriage ban suggested on a conservative radio show that politicians should emulate Saudi Arabia by basing laws off Christian doctrine, as Saudi Arabia does with Islam. David Brat: Hitler Could 'Happen Again' If We Don't Embrace Christian Capitalism.
Its time for the lets pretend to end. We are faced in this nation with an insurgency dangerous, dire and destructive. The Crusades are coming to America. The Spanish Inquisition has found its footing on our shores. The tar and feathering of decency and difference are almost daily rituals in our halls of government. Religious liberties have some how usurped any and all other kinds of freedoms. The Tea Party movement is nothing but a jihadist arrangement in which Jesus becomes the Lord, Savior, President and Supreme Court Justice of all Americans. Listen closely to the foul smelling words of the men and women of the Tea Party and stop pretending that those mad hatters will drink too much tea and just nod off to sleep. Our freedoms, liberties, equality are at risk more and more. No more pretending just how dangerous of a nation it has become in the United States.
