Think of a phenomenon. Where certain people have their roots in religion but where distorted religion is the law. Where women's rights are circumvented, and fake ideals spouted to justify them. Where there is only one right way, your way, and everyone who does not follow that right way is an enemy. Where it is considered acceptable to take over a nation, or bomb the hell out of it, killing innocent civilians and wide spread panic. Add to that the incredible conviction that you have the right to destroy anyone that threatens you or your way of life, and what would you have?
Yesterday, I sat and watched the Chaney interview, and it was oddly fascinating like watching someone pick a scab. He speaks with conviction and authority, self-belief oozes though every pore. If you didn't know better, this guy could really influence your beliefs.
The scary part- how many people really do know better? How many people really want to figure this one out? How many people are simply taking this on faith.
It was proven a couple of years back that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Then, it was all about being Liberators and nipping terrorism in the bud since Saddam had links to Al Qaeda. However, there is an insurgency, Saddam had no links to Al Qaeda and the long hard war is causing death, injury, and violence against civilians. So, after each reason that the Bush administration gave the people for the war has been proven false, I am not sure what the official reason is anymore, but all I know is that if I ask questions, I am letting the terrorists win.
Oh and if you dissent when it comes to internal policy- let's say you think Gay people should have equal rights under the law- allowing them to have civil unions or marriages and the right to adopt, well then, you are just letting the Terrorists win again.
Because you see, it is all linked under what is the American way. Republicans are the shining beacon of the "AM". It is a glorious thing.
1. All kids will be carried to term. (but they won't get healthcare)
2. All couples will be heterosexual. (and above age of consent and of the same race)
3. The rich will never be taxed. The poor will be allowed to own guns as compensation.
4. People will have the right to order the death of someone if they believe him to be guilty of a crime. However, no stem cell research will be allowed.
5. All bad words will be banned, no one can wear revealing clothes. However, please feel free to watch your brave soldiers bomb and maim those darkies.
6. One Nation. Under God. The God is Christian. He sent us his Only Begotten Son. That is just the way it is. If you don't believe that, you are trying to persecute us.
Now read the above paragraph. Are Terrorists the enemies of Freedom? Or are Republicans?
