Cassi Creek: Meeting
in Tampa, the people who wish to restore a theocratic oligarchy as the
principle form of world government advertise their intentions to their voter base. While many teavangelists claim that Obama
intends to surrender U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations, a Texas county
judge – an elected official – has proclaimed that Obama’s re-election is likely
to trigger a new American Civil War. There
are such rumors all around the nation, but Texas seems to be leading the charge
to disorganized insanity. The Texas
School board’s efforts to remove the study of any historical period that begins
after the sacking of the 2nd Temple by Rome, any language with roots
newer than that of the King James Bible, and any political philosophy that
considers women to be more than handy incubators for new Texas males.
In keeping with the premise that women are less than equal
to males and of less importance than a fetus that may or may not survive
gestation despite genetic damage, the GOP/Teavangelists have allowed the latest
generation Christian fundamentalists to force a platform that demands abortion
be made unavailable.
While degrading the lives of American women to the role of a
biological incubator with no say in the use and care of their own bodies, these
same Christian reactionaries are all too eager to ship young American men and
women to Afghanistan to prevent Islamic extremists treating their females in
exactly the same manner.
America is
already lagging behind nearly all modern nations in the delivery of health care
to its citizens. During the last 40 years,
it has also fallen behind those same nations in excluding religion from
government. It is time to slam the door
on Christian extremists and remove religion entirely from the public
forum.
