Shower for the mind

After watching the news last night I needed a shower for my mind.

The right religious zealots have called by way of a psalm "make his children orphans and his wife a widow". After naming Obama a Hitler, an anti-Christ among other names now it the out right call for murder. The Taliban does the same thing in the name of their holy scripture. No one of courage, from the right, in this country are naming the game for what it is, it is extremism. It is the American Taliban. Using a psalm and putting on a bumper sticker, doesn't that offend all Americans? Someone mentally unstable...

We are watching the collapse of an empire, we can't change what we don't acknowledge.

Goldman's CEO says the bonuses are because they are doing God's work. Let's all pause for a moment to wrap our logic around this thought. Nope it does not make sense. Jesus wanted the money changers out of the temple, not to destroy the temple but drive the money changers out. Religion and banking don't mix.

We are watching the collapse of an empire, we can't change what we don't acknowledge.

XI (Blackwater) besides dressing in coconuts for parties, involved in war profiteering, wholesale murder and all crimes known to the human race represents me as an American. The evil of this largest mercenary army in the history of wars has surpassed the CIA in destruction of America's goodness. Jared Diamond wrote of the collapse of cultures and we are witnessing one each day on the news.

One in five children live in a household where food runs short. Congress can afford a million dollars per solider per year while the family is on food stamp at home. These soldiers are doing the work for large corporations involving the transfer of oil pipelines.

Nations no longer control armies or policies. The International corporations without boarders are writing the greed policies. We are lazy, indifferent, ignorant. As the Romans said just enough food and the circus, or 250 channels.


Our nation's soul has lost it's light and the days of this empire are few. I understand why watching the news covers me with mental slime and shame. I can't understand why few Americans have the same outrage.
