Surprise! Surprise! Yes, there was some media follow-up last night on our little church mouse nominee for the highest court in the land ... but, of course, it was only Lou Dobbs expressing how dismayed he was that people should judge her based on her faith. Then again, if it isn't about his favorite obsession (illegal aliens), he just spews whatever the corporate regime wants to hear.
And the idiot news just babbles on about the latest kid-in-a-well/poor-slob-wins-lotto-then-p
Sorry, Dobbs, it IS about her faith. The damned Taliban was about faith. 9/11 was about faith. The suicide bombs and all the bullshit in the Middle East are about faith (except the Iraq war ... that's about oil and the White House resident failure proving to his daddy that all the string-pulling and election fraud were worth it).
We can't answer fundamentalism with fundamentalism.
Half this country doesn't want jesus in its face. None of this country (not even the stupidest, SUV-driving, non-voting, American Idol fan) deserves a religious fanatic as a swing voter on the Supreme Court. And I have yet to meet anyone who was "born again" who ISN'T a religious fanatic.
Religious fanaticism denies life ... everything leads up to the after-death utopia. You can be a geniuine shithead and repent in the eleventh hour. No need to treat other people civilly, treat the planet or its creatures right. After all, the planet doesn't matter ... heaven's waiting. And the church tells us that animals don't have souls. As for being civil ... all that's required is to do unto others IF you agree with their choice of scowling imaginary daddy figure in the sky.
I was born ONCE. And I damned well intend to make the most of this one life I know I have. And I would like to keep people with the above-captioned outlook the hell off the bench, thank you very much. Especially since they now decide our elections.
Well, enough political ranting. Those inverter manuals won't write themselves.
Later.
