According to the Tennessee Fire-non-Fighter who watched his neighbors' house burn to the ground, with the fire crew standing around to make sure fire didn't spread to their own properties, called his actions "Robust, Masculine Christianity" a new-old method of trying to justify ones evil deeds by re-translating the Bible to edit out any forms of compassion, sharing, care for ones neighbors, family, people they'd never met... So here are a few other things that define Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men, A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man lets his neighbors house burn down. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man cares so much about his Nation that he won't send anything more than a "prayer guide" card to surviving victims of flood, tornado, earthquake, rampaging murderers, outlining how Christ demands that nobody help ones neighbor, and detailing how to Toughen Up and just get over it. Rush Limbaugh, (m)Ann Coulter, etc, did that for everybody from the widows of VietNam Agent Orange victims, 9/11 firemen and anybody from New Orleans who wasn't rich enough to escape the Katrina Flood. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man doesn't care if his children, parents, or even himself contract e-coli or Salmonella from contaminated unregulated foodstuff, he shrugs and says, "Oh, well, MOST people who die from e-coli or salmonella had other health problems (like, being very old, very young, pregnant, just had a baby... you know, Not Robust Macho Men) so it doesn't matter. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man especially doesn't care when it's somebody else's kids, and especially if he owns stock in the corporations that sold the poison food. He merely does as Boxer did in the book "Animal Farm", after he worked himself almost to death, and the Pigs sold his still breathing body for dog food, according to Master Propagandist Glenn "Squealer" Beck, his last words were "I Will Work Harder for my corporate whore-lords even though it's going to kill me and my family" A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man refuses to believe that anybody ever becomes rich by inheriting stolen money or by stealing that money for themselves, it's always bread that the wealthy earned by the sweat of their (servants') brow. And their newly "discovered" proper translation of the Bible by people who don't speak any more Aramaic or Classic Hebrew than he does and they told him that it's true. Sean Hannity said it, he believes it, that settles it. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that Richard Cheney and George Bush, being elected by a minority of the voters, were thus appointed and anointed by God, Himself, to have the rule over all the land, and all foreign lands as well, "Love God and Obey the King" and if somebody points out that America doesn't actually HAVE a king, he will shout down that Upstart Rebellious Peasant and call the police on him if he doesn't shut up. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that the previous rule doesn't

Hannity spinning, spinning, just not, alas, in his grave… yet.
Plenty of time for that though. All his Ill Gotten Gold won't save him. The Pope, the one Hannity and others praised for "saving the Catholic Church from a Marxist rebellion"... having a little bit of trouble. However are they going to spin that against their previous comments about Liberation Theology being "destroyed" by a pastoral letter written before he was a Cardinal? What I as a Christian object to is that many will see ALL Christians as being represented by such Bigoted Capitalist Thieves like Hannity and the rest of the crew at Fox News and their Fellow Travellers. Like the Klan and THEIR subsidiary the Tea Party. Nice bunch of fellows they're promoting as being the Next Leaders of America. With, of course, Hegemony, ordained by God, Himself, over the entire world. Which is what Liberation Theology opposes. With no blessing at all from his "holiness" Poop Been-a-dick.
An Idea whose time has come…
Seriously, since the NeoCons still insist that we have Hegemony over the entire known Universe, a religious belief that we are so much better than the rest of the world that we owe it to them to run their countries for them... then why not grant each person in each Conque errr... "Liberated" country full United States Citizenship? My soon-to-be brother in law is Tongan by birth, he very seldom goes TO Tonga and was raised in Hawaii from the time he was about a year old. Homeland Security cleared him soon after 9/11, he had a job at DFW loading meals onto flights for AA. One time some Fearful Freak Redneck got all nine-eleven nine-eleven nine-eleven stupid about a Large Dark-skinned fellow being on the plane with his Obviously Non-Racist Arse. Stupid fears, held by stupid people. So he was going to marry my sister last week. Cool, eh? But I.C.E. has to have the last word on everything, he didn't have his ORIGINAL Birth Certificate, so the Frightened Ones wouldn't let them get their marriage license until he proves (apparently with something more than the huge file that the Frightened Feds keep on every "foreign national", even and especially those who grew up here) that he is who he says he is. I mean, come the hell on, they've got hair samples (do you think for a moment that a Racist and Fascist Totalitarian Police State wouldn't have that? think not? Welcome to the REAL world, check your delusions at the door upon entrance) fingerprints, biometrics, iris scans, etc etc etc... as well as a dossier of his entire life history, but he can't get his ID card updated without proving who he is without his Original Birth Certificate. One of Miss Johnnies sons was born on Guam, but they didn't make it to the Air Force Base hospital so he wasn't on U.S. soil. Even though the U.S. Military runs Guam any way they see fit, but only in the Proper Neo-Colonialist Manner, they only beat the Wogs three times a week. How Very Civilized of them. So he's a citizen, both his parents including his dad who died from Agent Orange in service to the USAF, were citizens, but there's still that Birth Certificate bullshit. My other sister, Audrey, same way, born at home off base in London... Citizen, but not "native". And, has trouble getting her Drivers License renewed because of that Original Birth Certificate. Which is purest bullshit, just like the manufactured FAKE scandal about President Obama's Birth Certificate. Guam and Tonga were added to the "not really conquered vassal possessions even though we treat them as such" list through the Wondrous agency of World War 2. And kept in such bondage by the U.S. Military "needing" the bases in THEIR countries in order to maintain our delusion of Masters over sea and land. "We goddamn OWN the world, so we NEED those bases to keep the Peasant Natives from thinking they own their own countries!" Audrey was born
More people who do not muchly good speak the English tongue…
ren·e·gade ?/?r?n??ge?d/ [ren-i-geyd] –noun 1. a person who deserts a party or cause for another. 2. an apostate from a religious faith. –adjective 3. of or like a renegade; traitorous. Synonyms: Traitor, Snake, Turncoat, Oath-breaker, Treaty Breaker. John McCain on Press the Meat this morning, sponsored by a Wall Street Powerhouse, Edward Jones Investments. Lying his arse off about how he's bipartisan on the Health Care bill when he joined every single one of his (R) Comrades in voting against it. Apparently in Renegade Republicanspeak, "Bipartisan" means the Democrats have to suck much Republican Ass. Ran as a "Maverick" which doesn't mean anything like "not one of the herd", it means steers claimed by a notoriously lazy Texas free-range rancher named John Maverick. Who didn't bother to brand or earmark any of his steers, just the lead cows. Any Steer or cow following them would be just a part of "His" herd. The Wall Street Bankers who sponsored today's Lie-Fest, their advertisement "If you believe in the Renegade idea of face-to-face with your broker" If you believe your Brokerage is "Renegade" and still deal with them, you really need to deal with the fact that they're going to rob you blind given any chance. McCain's running mate was an idiot from Alaska who also didn't speak English, and didn't know the duties of the job, told a group of schoolkids that it was to "help the senate make laws". Yeah, right. People who don't know the basis of American Law, the Constitution, shouldn't presume to MAKE Law. She also runs with a group of Straight Up Racist Pukes who insist that English be not only the official language of the United States (we don't have an official language, by the way) but that it be the ONLY language spoken. They wish to bring the days back, when Immigrant kids, or Native American Kids, or Native-American-Kids-Whose-Names-And-Primary tongue are Spanish and whose families were not only here during the Spanish territorial days but Many Centuries Before an Italian Mapmaker who had never been to America, Amerigo Vespucci, put his name to two continents and a bunch of offshore islands (Actually the islands FIRST)... These kids, even in the 60s when I was first going to school, would be Punished for speaking their non-english languages on school grounds or even the school bus. The more radical members of "English First" would have it that people not be allowed to speak their own languages even in their own homes. They say that not having English as your first tongue hinders your development in school. Where they get that tainted statistic is beyond my ken. The largest population who don't graduate High School and more importantly don't graduate Primary School are people who don't speak ANY language other than English, and that very poorly. This kind of outright Jingoistic Stupid Racism would give that freak on the bus (and there's always one at least) who demands that two Spanish speaking or Polish speaking or Navajo speaking kids (actually it's a dialect of Athabascan, and
