The list is massive, their own anti-American Terrorist threats in relation to voting rights, civil rights, racism, hate-speech against Muslims, hate-speech inspired attacks against Muslims and other religious, racial, social, or cultural groups and individuals... Oh, and the constant use of Massive Conspiracy theories of their own to denounce "conspiracy theories" like the questions raised over RepubliKlan and TeaBags rigging either the initial attacks on 9/11 directly, rigging the public response to those attacks for the profit of their Warmongering Corporate Leaders, and D) All of the Above. Let's jump right in with Voting Rights, in Houston, one of the major cities in the Exxon Protectorate Territory of Texas. According to TeaBag-RepubliKlan legend, so "Red" that only Massive Commie Infiltration could have thwarted their machinations. A group called True the Vote is insisting that the 70 million to 48 million vote spanking they took in the last election wasn't an adverse reaction to Race Baiting on the part of their Terrorist Candidates McCain, Palin and others further down the ticket all the way to elections for Dogcatcher. OK so the dogcatcher election is an old hyperbole, maybe City Council would be more appropriate. AND they're calling for Armed Poll Watchers... Millions of Armed Poll Watchers. Which was IS Klan terrorism technique used to skew elections. Particularly elections for such positions as County Clerk and Recorder, or similarly positioned Election Oversight officials in different jurisdictions. Like the ones the Right Wing Hate Freaks controlled in so much of the nation 2 years ago that they were confident of cruising to victory with plenty to spare. But with a Republican Machine that rivals the Soviet system in reach and the Tammany Hall Machine in tactics, in place nationwide, there's a 22 MILLION vote difference + another 5 million or so they thought would give them an easy victory. So they come up with a Conspiracy Theory that's an order of magnitude more convoluted than the JFK Assassination theories and 9/11 theories and the whole "I saw Elvis in a UFO" range of theories combined. While alternately condemning as treason or mocking as trivial and irrelevant any questions of just how much political and financial advantage their Parent Corporations gained by the 9/11 attacks. Which is it, TeaBags, (local shout out to Michelle Malkin, Dan Maes, Tancredo, Gunny Bob) Treason, or insignificant rants of lunatics? Cause, cousins, y'all seem to have a Nationwide Lock on Loonie. Seriously. Then they spin that into their Mosque Mania and terroristic Hate Speech and Hate Actions against Muslims and anybody else they think of as being Not White or Christian Enough To Be Considered Real Americans, according to their Hate Speech Real Loonie Leader Sarah Palin. Their level of Violent Hatred has already caused American Deaths directly within the confines of the United States, attacks on Religious and Cultural Institutions such as the Murfreesboro Islamic Cultural Center torched in Tennessee last week, The Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church attacked at the urging of TeaBag Leaders at FOX Networks and Clear Channel, with two dead, the

Catholic Global War On People who Don’t Comply With Corporate Rulers
Some of the issues were very publicly addressed by John Paul II. Not as publicly by Benedict but even Pope Joey Ratz doesn't give blessings of the church, and thus absolution to Catholic chaplains and other soldiers. Abortion. That's a big hot issue not only with Catholics but Protestants. In the run-up to the Bombing (in which the Air Force were "first to fight" just a side note) and eventual occupation and enslavement errr... "liberation and nation building" of Iraqis the news came out, even on American stations, that Iraqi doctors were being called on to deliver late-term babies by Caesarean Section or induced labor, to prevent "miscarriages" also known by the medical term Spontaneous Abortion, caused not spontaneously but by the stress of such Liberating "Shock and Awe" events as aerial bombardment. That takes the term "spontaneous" out of the picture. It's Induced Abortion caused by actions of the United States Military. Why I got off on this tangent was a series of comments supporting the Murder Campaign errr... Wars of Liberation and Nation Building by a gentleman (I think) who professes to be a Good Catholic. I mean, even the current Pope, who isn't a Leftist or even a Moderate Rightist, doesn't endorse the war, with that one being a strong issue. There's other issues, the Anti-Catholic murders performed by Catholic Mercenaries in the war against the People of Nicaragua in the 1980s and, really, still continuing. Some of those killed were nuns, priests, students and teachers at Catholic schools, doctors nurses and patients at a Catholic Hospital, children at a Catholic Orphanage run by American priests and nuns. That's pretty stout. If the WarPigs didn't want to take on the name of AntiChrist they should have left that strictly alone. Those who are Catholic, well, you've got a lot of Ave Marias and PaterNosters to say, plenty of bead-clicking and petitions for absolution.
Tis the season once more….
for the Talk Radio Hate Speech about a "war on Christmas." I don't actually think they're stupid, mind you, they know full well that they're lying... and omitting a HUGE amount of data. So, to fact check them ONCE MORE... The Founding Fathers never instituted either Christmas or Thanksgiving as national holidays. Nor did the Pilgrims. Nor the Puritans. Abraham Lincoln did recognize both, but with the emphasis on Thanksgiving. Some of Lincolns closest friends and advisers were rabid anti-Catholics. King James First was crowned king because he was, at least in name, a Protestant. King James invited the Puritans and the Pilgrims, not very courteously, to get out of England. Because they said he was too Catholic. Their major sticking point was Christmas. He was for it. They were against it. The Hate Radio people insist that we're supposed to rule America and just by consequential extension, the entire world, by the several bickering groups of Late Medieval Feudal Warlords who were killing each other and a whole bunch of civilians in Europe at the time, and had just begun to tear up America, over different interpretations of the Christian faith. As usual in these Battles of (nit)Wits, the primary victims were Other Christians. Because in England at the time there were few openly Non-Christians to be had. Jews maybe. Jews who were burned at the stake, hanged, tortured etc etc right along with people suspected of Witchcraft. Or Christian Blasphemy. Which brings it to the central theme of the Hate Speech Radio Talkmongers. Why, you might ask, did the "founding fathers" NOT establish a natoinal religion? Well, I might answer, the slaughter of Christians by Christians was fresh in their memories. Washington had participated in an extremely bloody extension of an ongoing European "holy" war between Catholics and Protestants. In America the casualty count was comparatively low, mostly because the White Population was relatively low. Which brings up that ugly business of the Founding Fathers being Anti-American, as in, anti-Indian. In the mad rush to cast the Puritans especially but also the Pilgrims as Pure Saints who get to make our daily decisions and run our Government from Beyond The Grave, they have to omit details. Lots of Details. The scene replayed in countless Thanksgiving pageants of Racial Harmony between English Invaders and Americans has many dark corners that the Haters don't want to illuminate. It complicates the simplicity of their "war on christmas" ranting. And if they encouraged their listeners to actually think it would be bad for their bottom line. For instance many Puritans wrestled with the question of Where Did The Indians Originate? Because we're not mentioned in Genesis. Some, like the witch-hunter Cotten Mather,often quoted by the Hate-mongers on Fox News and Clear Channel as being a "Founding Father" whose original intent is Holy and Beyond Question, not only hated Christmas but also many of the toys which are now given for Christmas, meaning Dolls, were declared by him an his contemporaries as being Agents of the Devil. And that Indians have no souls, since we're not
The Godless God fearing Americans
What is all this Goddamn pomp? "Non-believers" got a mention in Barack Obama's inaugural address, dead last after Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus, even though they rank second, and even though church abstainers actually comprise the majority of Americans. Yet even this second day, mentions of God, Lord, and prayer, continue ad nauseum. Talk about disrespect. And why are atheists and agnostics named in the negative? Why aren't they called rationalists? Churchgoers should be called reason disabled. What a farce. Are Americans to believe that Obama and his wife, Harvard grads, are religious? And which of the shysters of DC can be considered spiritual? I'm watching the service at the National Cathedral, which, taking into account the time zones, is eating well into Obama's first day in office. Assembled are a bunch of pharisees, a disproportionate sampling for certain, to voice their prayers for our lawmakers. Where were they when Bush and cronies were in attendance? NOTE: Was Obama's multi denominational ceremony representative of American believers? Let's have a look at the distribution of the 20 religious leaders attending the National Prayer Service, as they relate to their corresponding population segments, in descending order of size: 5 PROTESTANT EVANGELICALS, representing 27% of the US population: Rev. Sharon Watkins, president, Disciples of Christ in North America Rev. Andy Stanley, North Point Community Church Rev. Suzan Johnson-Cook, Believers Christian Fellowship Church Rev. Cynthia Hale, Ray of Hope Christian Church Rev. Jim Wallis, Sojourners 7 MAINLINE PROTESTANTS, 21% Katharine Jefferts-Schori, presiding bishop, Episcopal Church Rev. John Bryson Chane, Washington Episcopal Bishop Rev. Samuel Lloyd, dean of the cathedral, Episcopal Church Canon Carol Wade, cathedral's precentor (Note: Episcopalians represent !.3%, but are third richest group) Rev. Otis Moss Jr., father of pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ Kirbyjon Caldwell, Windsor Village United Methodist Church Rev. Wesley Granberg-Michaelson, Reformed Church in America 2 CATHOLICS, 22% Donald Wuerl, Washington Catholic Archbishop Rev. Francisco Gonzalez, auxiliary bishop, Washington archdiocese 1 MUSLIM, at 3% Ingrid Mattson, president, Islamic Society of North America 1 each, HINDU and ORTHODOX, in sum 1.7% Uma Mysorekar, president, Hindu Temple Society of North America Archbishop Demetrios, primate, Greek Orthodox Church in America 3 JEWS, at 1.5% (but richest) Rabbi Jerome Epstein, United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism Rabbi Haskal Lookstein, Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun Rabbi David Saperstein, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (Is that AIPAC's influence extending to America's Christians?) How about that corpulent Saddleback creep Rick Warren, reciting a completely forgettable invocation at yesterday's inauguration? Unheard by the masses was Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson's earlier invocation, which was fathoms deeper than any of these high priests. HBO didn't air it in their coverage of the Sunday inaugural buildup, but it's available on Youtube. Here's the transcript: A Prayer for the Nation and Our Next President, Barack Obama (Opening Inaugural Event, Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC, January 18, 2009) By The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire Welcome to Washington! The fun is about to begin, but first, please join me in pausing for a moment, to ask God’s blessing upon our nation and our next president. O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will… Bless us with tears – for a world in
Irreligious troubles
Remember the troubles in Ireland? They were religious wars is what we were told. The Catholics against the Protestants. Been going on for centuries. Indeed. England has occupied Ireland for centuries, that much is true. And the English lackeys who settled the land for the British king and played landlord to the Irish were Protestant indeed. And the native Irish who have been fighting to regain their sovereignty are the religion of St Stephen who drove the pagan snakes from Ireland and converted everyone to Christianity before there was such a thing as Protestantism. The English were Catholic until Henry VIII was refused an annulment from the pope and so created his own Church of England. British subjects had to follow their king into Protestantism, and the enemy freedom fighters in Ireland would, of course, not. And so the battle between the Irish and their English occupiers waged on, cleverly repackaged by the empire, the British Empire and ours, as religious troubles. Who sympathizes with an opponent's foreign religion? The plight the dispossessed is another matter. Likewise in Palestine. Are we to believe that Muslims are fighting Jews over the fate of their religious differences in Palestine? Oh, it's been going on for thousands of years. Really? Israel's pretext for entitlement to the Holy Land dates back two thousand years, that's true enough, when Jews last ruled Judea. There probably can be no end to land disputes when you argue claims that far back. Courts decided long ago to simplify disputes with statutes of limitation. In war however, every conqueror likes to assert they are reclaiming what lands were theirs by predestiny. Palestinians are fighting the Israelis for their homeland. Israel occupies Palestine and keeps building settlements unto more of it, displacing and killing the original occupants. Israel's motives might be religious, but the conflict is not. The fighting is occupation versus resistance, er, insurrection. The internecine strife amongst Palestinians and amongst Lebanese are no more sectarian than it is about who is collaborating with the occupiers. Sectarian differences in Iraq, as throughout the Middle East, have similarly less to do with religion than the struggle against colonial occupiers. Right now we are demonizing the Shia, the fundamentalist hard ballers out of Iran, who threaten the Sunnis. They do, but hardly for religious reasons. The Sunni are and have been our agents, the administrative class for the West's domination of the Middle East. When you hear Egypt opine, that's us. Saudi Ariabia, that's us. All the feudal sheiks, sultans and monarchs? Ours. In our pocket and we in theirs. They don't like the Shias because they're as irreligious as alpha males in a harem. Once more the occupiers have their religious or counter-religious pretext. The oppressed are fighting for their land and their freedom.
