aPolitical Blues and an Evangelical Thug

This Christmas, nobody better tell me what I can/cannot/should/shouldn't say. And I don't want anyone telling anyone else either. Christmas is a freaking holiday that the general public has decided to celebrate at the mall. Following said cash orgy, the Evangelical thug patrol wants us to believe they don't get to worship the religious reason for the season.

Someone must have hidden the million dollar churches they built and locked them out of their house if they are having a hard time celebrating the birth of Jesus. Their only problem is forcing their religious view of the world into the public mind and then getting pissed because the rest of us don't want to hear it. Worship at church, put the manger scene up on your own lawn, try getting up at 5am to pray instead of rushing the door at Wal-Mart and shut-up! Remember, your boy Jaysus (checked his green card? is he Jewish or Latino?) chucked the money lenders out before, and he can damn sure do it again.

Now, this all leads to our political process getting hacked into by the same Evangelical thugs who want to force us to elect a Christian. What a shame we didn't burn the Calvinists and Puritans along with the witches in the early days to clean the gene pool. Are we really watching our Republic held hostage by this zealous veneer of Christian dogma that wants to force us back about 200 years?

Here in Imperial Polk County we just became enlightened recently and passed shoolboard doctrine that now allows us to teach evolution and not call it "biological change over time!" Apparently we are not yet far removed from our Simian roots.

Organized Evangelicals are becoming theological gangs who bully our thoughts, our actions, our rights and our political system. It is the worst bastardization of what the framers of the constitution intended. Seperation of church and state ensured people would not be persecuted or harassed due to their religious beliefs. An obvious core value in a free society. And that means no Religious test for politcal position.

I don't care where the President is on Sunday morings, as long as he/she is protecting our vital interests in this country, reforming our energy position in the world, solving the Immigration, Social Security and Medicare crisis, creating the best educational system in the world, and reforming the political system to flush the greed, graft, power and corporate malfeasance out of existence. I don't want anymore Evangelical thugs dictating our foreign policy, medical access or other personal freedoms. And I don't want anymore corporate interference (fucking with) individual pursuit of happiness. Mitt, Rudy, Huckleberrybe, George W., Rush, Ann, you can all go to hell! You are all lying, venal, greedy, mean-spirited sons-of-bitches and you have every right to spout your vitriol, as I have the right to flip you the bird and flaunt my obvious superiority by inviting you to kiss my ass!

That said, it is time to pick up a guitar or drumstick and make some devil music more commonly referred to as "the blues!" Ain't nothing but a thang!
