Forgive me if I must indulge myself. I understand the value of the Diary to be one of noteworthy communication and, sad to say, this may not be as such. No, this is a rant. The religious right has emerged with its daggers in our chests. We are losing a cultural war that has been raging NOT just since GB2 but since the beginning of all time. We are losing the war of faith, which by our own constitution should only have been a war of words but has, under Pope Bush II, become a war of action.
WE the people are being told what is decent and what is corrupting. WE the people are told what is right and what is wrong. WE the people are not allowed to freely choose what we wish to watch and what we wish to ignore. The so called republicans - those who tote themselves as defenders of individual liberties and states' rights are stealing the blood of independence RIGHT FROM LIBERTIES ARM and the nation stands idle.
We watch Lady Justice shrouded in the beginning, rather ominous and symbolic of things to come. We listen to our radio waves becoming dead and devoid of critical voices, of voices and personalities that DO NOT HARM ANYONE. We see men far, far away in Washington DC telling us they want the authority to censor privately held cable. WE SEE THEM OUT TO CENSOR THE VERY BASITION OF FREE THOUGHT - THE INTERNET.
Where will it stop? Where will we stand when they come for the last things we hold sacred? Where does freedom sit in their holy agenda? We must fight against those that perceive freedom as the enemy of Purity and Security.
We can't stand in the road like deer before headlights. The oncoming wave of holy righteousness will smash us down. We all must make noise, rattle our sabers and let them know we can't stand idly by while they Christianize our country. Our nation wasn't founded on Christian principals; rather the fear of what those principals can guide a man to - oppression, violence and sinister manipulation.
