Tell It!

Past Subterfuge, Into Responsibility

The more practical knowledge and clarity you possess,

the more obvious this country's state of distress becomes.

No, I don't mean the financial dire straits.

I don't even mean the divisive political climate.

Nor the over-reliance on religion.

I'm speaking of the faulty moral compass of so many;

a country of bottoming-out standards

and immediacy over quality.

We have become a nation of duplicity,

complicity, bottom lines, and "whatever it

takes."

We bash others and obsess over their actions

and covertly commit those same actions,

ever-pretending and caustically protesting,

slyly smiling at pulling the wool over the public's eyes.

We revel in double standards and are

consumed by illusion and rhetoric while

neglecting reality and actuality.

We strive for decadence and consumption

and avoid consequence and exposure.

The emphasis has become to appear legitimate

in public while doing any old illegal, immoral,

contradictory maneuver in private.

A classic well-loved line called for

"Truth, Justice, and the American Way,"

but the mirror held up to our modern society

shows "Fraud, Justification, and Any-Old-Way"

being a much more astute 'standard.'

Con-artistry and denial are the national pass-times.

America,

posturing and defiant,

only concerned with dominance--not correctness,

this adolescent among nations,

petulantly pouting and foot-stomping our way

into getting what we want.

When Evil Penetrates the Home front (and rear)

I was checking messages on the phone and then I heard it.

My stomach imploded as the cold, withered hand of Satan crawled
up my asshole to accompany the Deliverance-banjo-themed screech
of the 700 Club owner telling me of 'God's graces.'

The moron who blamed gays and anti-abortionists for the September
11th attacks...telling ME about God. Offering for HIM to pray for MY
soul. The guy who blames natural disasters on Democratic presidents
and gay rights. This knuckle-dragging ignoramus has something to
offer me?

The One Who Shall Remain Nameless lest he wrest my soul was
on the recording, selling whomever was unfortunate enough to hear
of how great his god was. Well, for starters, if he's allowing you to
present his message to the world, one things for certain; either you're
doing the work of the wrong guy, or he ain't fer reals!

Because failed Presidential candidate Robertson is a scheming, lying,
nut bag with delusions of grandeur and a hate-streak a mile long.

I want everyone with a clue and a conscience to take a moment
and pick up the phone...maybe while fixing dinner or doing dishes,
when you have a minute to be left on hold while you wait for an
operator. Call Pat's Prayer Buddies line and clog it up so they can't
bilk any more old ladies out of their pensions.

The number is 1-800-759-0700

And when they answer, tell them you DO want to have them take
a prayer request. The request is;
A) That Pat find a soul.
B) That Pat get a clue.
C) That Pat grow a beating heart.
and D) That Pat actually met the real Jesus and learn something.

Enough with the charlatans and clowns.

And please...do pass this on to ALL your friends.
