Please bear with me for use of a religious quote to set the backdrop
for me to make my point:
*************************************************************
"Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not
for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
paps which never gave suck.
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to
the hills, Cover us.
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in
the dry?"
Luke 23:28-31
*******************************************************************
Dirge for America
American progressivism seems to be dead this morning, the day after
the disastrous election of 2004: Dead as any sort of popular
movement.
The dumbed-down public nailed the final nail in the coffin of a
democratic, fair America the day George Bush was re-elected.
A similar "spanking" to what was described in the above Bible
verse
is coming for America. I feel it in my bones. It is coming. And it
is too bad the almost one half of America that didn't commit the
crime of re-electing George W. Bush has to suffer along with those
who are guilty of it.
As a nation we have proven ourselves to be a NON-moral, arrogant,
out-of-control, greedy, bullying country. America has now become
AmeriKa. Sooner or later, most surely without doubt, America will
face the old trusim "what comes around, goes around".
This seems to be a law for countries as well as individuals for to
all who are cruel, disingenuous, oppressive, unfair, greedy, bloody
people.
For those not attuned to religion please forgive the use of religous
metaphor, but I used this quote to show that coming
destruction applies to all who are 'so blind that they will not see".
Any thinking American should now be veru afraid that
America will not escape the consequences of its own folly.
Maybe I am full of baloney, but I doubt it. I don't' think
America
will avoid the coming catastrophe brought on by its evil choices,
any more than Napoleonic France, Nazi Germany, or Slobodan Milosevic
Serbia.
Thousands of dead innocents' blood cries out from the ground in
Iraq. America has now declared itself the murderous spiritual heir
to Cain, to continue the religious metaphor.
Progressivism in America seems to be in disarray, and if not dead,
dying.
To appeal to the masses here in America, this election proved that
only evil intentions, unfairness, militarism, xenophobia, crass
materialism, corporate rape of society and eco-disaster will win
votes. We should be very afraid for our future. I do not think I am
wrong: it is coming our way.
The die is cast. American rationalism is on the run. Satanic glee
abounds in bullying, nazi-ism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, bigotry,
military adventurism, rampant public borrowing, the raping of the
poor, the destruction of the environment,the stripping of the
Constitution:�
All of these horrors and more have been approved by 51 percent of
the American people. Our middle finger is up and erect for the world
to see and judge whether they can do business with us.
Without a doubt, the dictators, the thugs, the terrorists will take
heart from Bush's re-election.
The strains of this song came floating through my mind this morning:
"And we were singing Bye Bye Miss American Pie�Drove My Chevy
To
The Levee But the Levee Was Dry�Them Good Ol' Boys
Drinkin'
Whiskey `n' Rye, Singing This Will Be The Day That I
Die�Singin'
This Will Be The Day That I Die�.."
