Garth has a wonderful reflection about Heath over at Dark Horizons. Best piece I've read yet.
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080122j.php

I posted this over at the Superman forum too. It's worth cross-posting to here.

Regarding Westboro Baptist Church zealots, I can think of several things to say, not the least of which is that they do not represent my understanding of Christianity. Not in the least. Something about "You who are without sin may cast the first stone." But I also think the words of David Wilcox are extremely poignant when I think of their guerrilla salvation:

"Let me apologize in advance
For the way my friend behaves
He'll pick a fight and take a holy stance
He's so proud that he's so saved

I hope you don't judge Jesus
By the things my friend will say
He holds a bible like a dagger
And he twists it just that way

He just loves conversation - like a cat loves a bird
I guess he's always been a good man - in the worst sense of the word"

Yeah, not yet.


Nor do I expect him to be. But if something happens in the next 370 days to cause him to stay in office one day later than the end of his term, I will expect all the gun-toting wingnuts in the NRA to be the first to put their money where their mouth is and defend the rest of the very Constitution that guarantees their right to bear arms.

Why is it nobody ever blames the Democratic majority of Congress.

Because they have only had the majority for one year and in the senate especially, they have been blocked by the new Republican Minority with a record number of filibusters. The very thing they railed on Democrats for when the roles were reversed. Like I said, they're all to blame.

While I believe in term limits for Congress, I feel Americans are doing a poor job of using the term limit already offered them: The Ballot. Want to send a message to Washington? Lay aside which party you like and vote out the incumbent, even if you like him better than his opposition. 435 new Representatives. 1/3 of the Senate replaced. If all the Congressional districts did that in November the "new" Congress would be forced to step in line and do a better job serving the people who put them there.

If you're going to hate America, don't just hate one party. If ever this country needs God's blessings, it is now. Because both parties are ripping it apart.

For the record, Truman, who ordered the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was a Democrat. Not to mention that The Manhattan Project was under his Democratic predecessor, Roosevelt. Lyndon Johnson was behind Vietnam. Janet Reno was behind Waco.

Meanwhile I haven't given up on my country. George W. Bush WILL be out of office on January 20, 2009. He has NOT been named Chancellor for Life. That is the primary indicator that things are not as dire as they seem.
