Okay, so I haven’t posted or updated anything in a while…I’ve been busy and not really paying much attention to the news and such. I’m quite un-amused with how things have been turning out lately, politically speaking. The Administration notorious for breaking the law, strikes again with it’s banking scheme…Then tries to fight back claiming it’s in the “interest of national security”. I smell something….Is that cow-dung? haha.
Now, on to the part that’s really got me freaking out. What’s with all the protesters at military funerals lately? Okay, so I understand that “The War in Iraq” isn’t the lightest of topics. But, can someone enlighten me as to how exactly “God” is punishing the U.S. for it’s tolerance of homosexuality by killing our soldiers? Okay, I’ve heard a lot of half-baked ideas spewing from the gaping maws of the Christian Right before, but this is ridiculous. What next, corralling them all up into “work camps”? It seems to me that in our attempt to separate ourselves from the Extremists we’re fighting, some people from our great nation have taken it upon themselves to act just like them only in the name of God instead of Allah.
It seems almost surreal to me. How red-blooded American citizens can ruin another man’s (or woman’s) funeral, in the name of their so-called “God”. While I am not a very religious person, I certainly don’t side with whack-jobs like that. It makes sick to thing that grieving families have to deal with these zealots screaming and waving signs…so really have some decency, stay home and be mad there…or put on your tin-foil hat and fret about how the gays are ruining our country…but leave the families of our military out of it. They have enough grief to deal with, without clowns telling them their children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands or whomever was killed by God. This is just as proposterous as the days when the Christian Right claimed AIDS was a punishment. Violent words from the mouths of impotent men. Nothing more, nothing less.
(Footnote: I, in no way, support this war or this administration and also, I am NOT bashing all persons who wish to practice Christianity, just these losers.)
