While my head is hurting (a daily experience) I keep thinking about the Republicans and their villainy against my country. And it is my country and your country but Republicans think that this is their country and theirs alone. In fact, Republicans don't trust us common folk Americans to make our own decisions or elect our own leaders or choose the path our nation should go on. They don't trust us, they don't like us and in their heads we are all duped, brain washed Communists supporting an uppity n bomb Socialist.
The GOP goes out of its way to prove this everyday. Everyday, they lie to the American people and use fear tactics to confuse and muddle the minds of common follk like us. Everyday they obstruct the functions of Congress with their never ending mantra of "No!" They don't care about Main St. pocket book issues or whether or not you have health care or whether they destroyed the economy under George Dubya Bush Jr. All the Republicans crae about is money, rich folk and corporate interests which is why they tried so hard to do away with campaign finance reform. That way they could drown out all of the voices of us common folk and bury us under wads of hundred dollar bills.
In short, the Republicans try to destroy our America and wipe out our Constitution, the Bill or Rights, our way of life and every special thing that made America great. Why? Because the GOP hates the voice of the common man. There is no profit in defending us so they war against us, supported by their rich benefactors. Proof? 65% of Americans voted for change and gave a laundry list of things they wanted fixed by our government in 2008 and the Republicans responded by claiming that Obama was not their President, that he was a Muslim in cahoots with al-Qaeda, that he wasn't even a bona fide American with a birth certificate, that he was a Socialist and a Communist. They brought guns to where the President was speaking to intimidate him and threaten his life, they do all they can to obstruct the will of the people all in the name of their narrow, out dated views. To them, the country isn't important. To Republicans, it is their own party first, the rich and corporate interests, then their own pocketbooks, then the Christian God and then the country, a country who's laws they strive to subvert, laws they break whenever they can and encourage their rabid followers to do as well.
And that's the problem. Country last.
What does this have to do with Jesus? I'm glad you asked!
Republicans have deceived fundamentalist Christians across the land by proclaiming they are true believers in Christ and follow the faith, that Jesus guides their politics. These fundamentalist Christians follow the likes of Charles Dobson or Franklin Graham or Pat Robertson so we know right away they aren't all that smart. This makes them highly exploitable as they feel alienated from America and her progressive ideas. They want to pass laws and restrict freedoms for the rest of us so that they can make America a Christian nation devoted to Christ so that when the so called "last days" arrive Jesus will approve of this nation and extend His blessing upon the land. Like I said, they aren't all that smart nor are the very well read in their own holy Book. According to their mantra, they will be raptured away during the 'end times' yet they seem to think in the meantime they must lord it over the rest of us and rule us by their doctrine. And that my friends is right up the GOPs alley. A rabid group of followers to enable the Republicans to fulfill their desire of establishing a police state of Republicans, by Republicans, for Republicans and fuck the rest of us common folk.
But Republicans are not Christians. How can they be? The Christian holy Book says, Love of money is the root to all evil. No one loves money more than the GOP. Easier for a camel to enter the eye of the needle than a rich person to enter heaven and GOP leaders are very, very rich indeed! Sell all you own, disperse it among the poor and follow me, Jesus declared. Ha! Look at how hard Republicans fight to keep every last dime! They didn't make that money themselves, oh no. They took it off the backs of their workers and the sweat of their labor, but give only crumbs back to the very Americans who made them rich! Oh, they cried when Obama came to office, it's wealth redistribution! In other words, cutting taxes of average, common folk like us and raising their taxes is Socialism? Since when is fairness and goodness Socialism. Since when is doing the right thing or giving back to a nation that gave so much to them redistributing wealth? Would Jesus hoard cash and say fuck you to the rest of us? Of course not and that is how we know that Christ is not in the heart of any Republican.
But hating Jesus? What a claim! Really? Remeber Matthew 25:36-41? As you have done to the least of these you've done unto me. Closing homeless shelters? Cutting funding to health clinics? Refusing to allow all Americans the fundamental right of free health care? Imprisoning the poor instead of helping them? Cursing the addict instead of healing? Taking from the poor to give to the rich? These are all Republican values and the very spirit of Antichrist. But like the Christian holy Book teaches: in the last days even the very elect will be deceived and indeed they are. Following the Republicans means betraying Christ. It has to. Good and evil cannot live together and the Republicans are twisted, evil fucks. Remeber, you cannot serve God and money. And the GOP loves them some money! And by this service they show the love of Christ is not in them. You know the tree by the fruit it bears.
1 John 2:3-6 put it best: We know we know Jesus because we obey his commands. Anyone who says, "I follow Jesus." yet doesn't follow his commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. Anyone who follows Jesus' words, God's love is made complete in him. That's how we know we are in Jesus. ANYONE who claims to live in Jesus must walk as Jesus did.
Republicans don't and can't do that. They can't follow Christ and follow their party too. They are incompatible.
