Politics, society and Faith from a Christian liberal prospective. We believe that we can all accomplish great things in the world if we can just get past the lust of the powerful and the fear of the comfortable.
. We were accused of being anti-American for opposing actions by the Bush/Cheney administration in direct violation of our Constitution, it's Bill of Rights, our international treaties and laws of our land.
Now they are using their propaganda network of lies, innuendos and distortions to undermine the sitting president of the United States. Their stated desire for the failure of the elected leader of the American people, so that their economic/political theory would possibly gain more prominence, approaches a level crossing into sedition.
A cultish adherence to an unencumbered free market system exhibits a loyalty to an ideology over one's own nation.
Limbaugh, Hannity, and the GOP: an iron triangle of stimulus misinformation
. Yea,....I do kinda think the right-wing, ultra-conservative, everything Rush and Sean tells us is true, parrot-mimicking followers of everything we're told to believe by our favorite personalities type intellectually lazy American is to blame for many of the political bottle-necks we face today.
Radical fundamentalism of all types, whether religious, political or environmental, is a disaster for all involved. Their adherents know not loyalty or reason. .
The Republicans are trying to say that none of the problems of the last eight years are their fault and that they possesss no responsibilities for the situation the country is in now. What's even more brazenly shameful, on their part, is to claim that the same ideological failings, that led to an economic situation approaching the Great Depression in severity, is the only solution to the problems that a fanatical adherence to these beliefs caused.
. President Obama has gone more than the extra mile in his dealings with the GOP. It seems they resent being blamed for the problems, having their conservative ideology proved defective and losing the White House. It makes me wonder if they are mad at America, Rush sure seems to be and they must follow his lead.
“In Germany, they first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist....
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.....
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist....
Then they came for the Catholics
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Catholic....
Then they came for me –
and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.”.....
