Politics - Part II

George Dumbya likes to say that the terrorists have hijacked one of the worlds great religions. He's never been on more solid ground than when he talks this way. It makes me wonder if this could have possible been an original thought, or if his PR people gave him that one. Either way its true.

I think that George II has hijacked another one. Call it Christianity because if you granularize it you lose the concept. I don't think that George the Lesser has that much religion in him. I read an article once that said that he went to a retreat - near the beginning of his political carrier - maybe Karl Rove had something to do with it - and that when he came out of the retreat he could tell you less about the Bible than every other man (it was for men only) that went there.

I suspect it was just a PR move!

Dr. Evil, aka Karl Rove has lead George into hijacking the Christianity because he, in his wicked little dark room somewhere in the bowels of the White House, recognized that Christian Churches presented an untapped organization. Grassroots political organizations take years to setup. Karl just usurped what was already there. That was part A. Part B was to get the people in this organization so riled up that they would go vote against something that they couldn't bear. In 2001 and in 2004, it was Gays.

The gays might have showed a little political savvy and left their marriage maneuvers until after Al Gore had been elected. Once the Republican war got started the untapped, and I think unspoken, distrust of Muslims helped rally the Christians toward their leader.

Democrats have started talking about the Christ of the Beatitudes. I think this is wise. Christ said "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Brian said "Blessed are the cheesemakers"). Christ said turn the other cheek. And Christ said other things that amount to my house is welcome to all sinners and love thy neighbor.

George the Dumb said he was religious and that he's against abortion and that he's against gay marriage, but does that make him a Christian? What about being against War, against cruelty, against greed?

What about compassion?

Well you say, George says that's for Churches and Charities? George doesn't direct Churches. George directs the government! The government - still to this day - is not a Church!

He plays on the fears of the Christians about gays. That's not Christian. He lead a war of choice. Definitely not Christian. He shows no Christian compassion all the while talking about compassion which makes him a hypocrite. What I learned in Catholic School is that Christ hated hypocrites most of all.

The Christians that I know, who believe in George the Dark (or is it George Lite?) don't think that he has behaved well as president, but they support him because he talks about God and right and wrong and compassion like a Christian would. He tells them he's one of them.

He's not.

He's a liar.

I think Christians should make a break from George the Incapable, George the Inconsistant, George the Liar exactly because he does not act in a Christian way.

Irrespective of politics and competence (subjects for future discussions) George the Second is not only not worthy of their support as a Christian. I'm not sure he even IS one.
