 STUPID SNOW |
The US government, via Sen. Rick Santorum, said recently that homosexuality was a crime up there with incest (more, more), and called for US leaders to embrace religion. He went all to call George Bush (a Methodist) a great Roman Catholic leader, and decried JFK for not listening more to the Roman Catholic Church when he was in power — not that Bush listened to the profoundly anti-war Pope (more).. Of course, given that many Republicans are being housed in mansions paid for by the Christian right, his statements are no surprise (more, more).
I could link a thousand stories about gigantic protests by Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq demanding a theocracy of their own, complete with repression and less “freedom” than ever existed under Saddam (more, more, more) — that seems to be the story of Iraq right now — looting, chaos, killing, and louder and louder calls to kill America… Then there's always the Red Menace as well (more).
Innocent civilians, mostly children, continue to die every day in Iraq thanks to US aggression (more)… Thanks to mines, US cluster bombs, and so on, children are being killed in playgrounds (more, more, more). Not only that, but the US, who clearly can not handle the overwhelming humanitarian crisis, is blocking any UN aid teams from entering Iraq (more), presumably so they can hand out “aid contracts” to US corporations (more).
I think most of us realize at this point that Iraq didn't have any weapons of mass destruction and the war was started using lies (more), and the fast roll-over clearly shows that Iraq posed no credible threat… That said, given that mainstream America still believes the WMD story (and anything else they're told to believe), the US is blocking access to UN weapons inspectors — after all, if you're going to lie, it's best not to let others prove you're trying to deceive them (more, more).
But don't worry, the government is fighting to get you “easy to use” mini-nukes (more)! Yay for the end of the world. Oh, and here's the best way to guarantee terrorist attacks: hand Iraqi oil to the Israelis (more) under US command… While we're screwing stuff up, did you know that the US is holding children at “Camp Xray”? (more)…
…oh yeah, that and expelling nine-year old girls from school for havin red streaks in their hair (more). America is getting very screwed up… Here's the message that's being sent:
- If you look normal, act normal, and do what the government tells you, you're the “good american”.
- If you get bad grades, screw stuff up, don't do your homework, don't learn to read, whatever, it's probably someone else's fault — probably someone with red hair made it impossible for you to work. It's not your fault if you're “normal”.
- If you don't look normal, you have no right to an education or other government services because you are not a “good american”.
Fight it now, or live with it forever. There's a serious snapback erupting on mods, alternate sexuality, free expression, religion, and everything that one would expect should be embraced in a free society.
