back again

I had given my self a test. How long could I NOT comment on the current events of the country in which I live. I thought why am I always worried? Why do I see stupid people (In the movie Sixth Sense, the young boy saw dead people). What do my mutterings, musing, meanderings really achieve, especially because the stupid still act stupid, the dumb even more unintelligent, and the hypocrite at the ready to lie even when I attempt to call them out. I thought why get worked up as most circumstances were not created by me so how the hell do I suppose by calling them out I can change a thing. It was hard it was like coming off of an addiction doing so cold turkey. And then today I permitted myself to read an article about Michelle Bachmann who was lamenting just how dangerous the children crossing our boarders really had become and how somewhere in her imagined history of six years a rape had been committed by an immigrant thus causing her to warn the nation that the sky was falling. I read Ms (I am a Christian woman first, American lady second) Bachmann’s account of immigration as a sign of the Devil and wham bam no thank you ma’am all bets were off for me, and I had to express my feelings via my blog. I could not let this irresponsible lady get away with one more inane and insane comment. 

According to the real Christian/Americans during the past 6 years,(you know the time the Black Kenyan, Socialist Muslim was elected president) this nation of ours has taken on a mantra that religion has gone awry. We are preached to that freedom of religion  has been horribly mangled and the tenants of Jesus Christ have been completely ignored, We have been told by the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy, the so called Conservative Christians, the Jesus carried an AK assault weapon Crusaders, the God hates Fags, the women are chattel crowd that all morals, values and ethics had been tossed asunder to please no one but the Progressives. We have been told by the conspiracy theorists, the Tea Baggers, the Koch Brother puppet politicians, the bleached blond brain dead hosts and hostesses of FOX Noise, the self described speakers to God that the End Days have begun and soon Armageddon will arrive in NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the individual states permitting same-sex marriages. Our only salvation for order to reappear in this nation we are told is to follow the words as prescribed in the New Testament, the ONLY book of authority. 


And then I read about Michelle Bachmann joining the ranks of other Jesus loves me yes I know fundamentalist born again evangelicals like Louise Gomhert, Steve King, every fool from the Tea Party about how we must carry guns to the boarder to send those immigrant children back to their own land. I hear how we must recite the mantra that Jesus would be first in line to deport those fugitives, and how every president from Christ to Reagan would insist that this land is not your land just MY land. I tried so hard to pretend that the smart would persevere that the fool’s argument would wither and die, that the morbidly ignorant would somehow finally see God and just shut the fuck up. But no! Michelle Bachmann was the teeny tiny pebble that shattered my resolve to try and ignore the fool. Thanks Michelle I am back and ready to call you the fool you are!
