WHY I VOTED FOR W.
"Tell me why I should vote for the Democrat nominee. Just tell me one single reason in Christ. Just one. I mean, those Democrats want to kill our little babies in the womb. I mean, Jesus H. Christ! And they want to let men do whatever nasties men do to men and then give them the right to call each other husband and wife simply because they like to, you know...well...you know!
I know of one of those(you can't call them queers because they've put a lot of pressure on us not to use words like that, like queers and niggers and Japs. That's what a liberal is(someone who wants to censure your speech all the time. It's gotten so you can't say a damn thing in this country where freedom of speech is supposed to be guaranteed. Anyways, here is what I was about to say: I knew one of those kind(I can't imagine how they can do that to each other! Jesus! Imagine! And he is sitting there in our public schools teaching our young, and they look up to him, Mr. So-and-So(I can't say his name or he'll sue my ass. Damned lawyers! So what is this world coming to?
One thing is for sure: I am a loyal American. My daddy fought in the Korean war. And I done four years in the army myself. Not easy time. But I done it. I am for America one hundred and ten percent. Sure, we may make mistakes. Sure, some of our boys may get carried away a little bit(I mean are ya supposed to turn yer other cheek to one of those rag-heads? Come on! They believe in the Koran that says right in there that it is all right to blow our asses to hell and if they do they end up with I don't know how many virgins to you know what. And then those liberals get all whiney when some of our boys maybe poke a little fun at them insurgent bastards and maybe point at their little peters and do a few other things that you wouldn't do in Sunday School.
But, Jesus, this is not Sunday School. This is war! They are killing our boys over there. Our boys! And so those liberals sit around all teary-eyed, wringing their hands about torture, raising hell with our generals over there who are trying to contain those insurgent bastards who will not give up and take democracy, even if it's handed to them on a silver platter. If you are a true American you have to respect our boys, and the least you can do is fly the flag. You don't see those liberals flying flags. They too busy protecting faggots.
Now there is one thing I know: I work for a living. I have drove taxi for a while before I went to work in the timber. Cut trees. Yes, cut the fucking trees for lumber. Ya can't build a house without lumber. I am doin' my part, and all the while those liberals are out there sniveling about the spotted owl and would let me and my kids starve to death. Like the man says: You seen one tree ya seen 'em all.
So those liberals want to save the forests. Sure. Save the forests. But what about jobs? Save the spotted owl. But what about earning enough money to pay the pickup truck payments, the trailer house payments, the credit card payments, the payments on the TV and the Harley. Jesus, a man has to live! If the liberals had their way they'd even take away a man's Bud at the end of the day. In the meantime, while I'm working my ass off, those liberals are out there doling out my tax dollars to some lazy fat bitch who lays around in the city with a bunch of illegitimate kids and with any man who'll bring her a little crack or a shot in the arm. Then we have to pay to keep her kids in prison, and the lawyers make a lot of money defending them for selling dope and killing each other. Ought to let 'em starve to death or get to work. They have a choice the same as me, but I end up supportin' 'em.
So I have to say that if Christ is looking, and I know He is, well, He would not be very pleased if I voted for one of them liberals. I was in the election booth the other day and I felt Him looking over my shoulder. I could actually feel him. Like his breath was hot, and I knew that even Christ has a hard time loving them liberals. So you know how I voted. The exit polls? You mean those dorks out there with their little pads asking how a man votes? Well, one come up to me and said, "Sir, we are taking an exit poll here for CBS, and we would like to ask you a couple of questions."
An' I said, "OK. Shoot."
"How did you vote for the President of the United States?"
I said, "How is that any of yer fucking business?"
He says, "Well, sir, we are just doing research."
"Well," I said, "I voted for Kerry, if it's any of yer business." In Christ I wouldn't tell the truth to one a those liberals, not any more."

"The power of charasmatic oratory in the court room, in the bedroom, in the citadels of civic deliberation, in the densly carpeted vigorously polished sanctums of commerce (the boardroom)is an unquestioned incontrovertable weapon, or..resource."
In the bedroom? Charismatic oratory in the bedroom? Talking dirty is one thing, but charismatic oratory? Sadly, that's probably not one of the weirdest things you've ever said.
Unless Gerry Spence said it, in which case it's probably true.

The argument has been abandoned and still you writhe and flail seeking attention and onflict. For the record the words are mine but the seedlings were nourished by my brief exposure to Mr. Spence's writing.
I cannot dwell long in an atmosphere contaminated with malignant ambition. Please don't take offense if I do not respond personally to any more of your reflexive ejaculations of malice all dressed up in the drag of objective argumentation.
As for the whole Christianity question, I doubt that our respective positions will approach any reasonable facsimili of consensus. While I do not agree with your conclusions, I respect your right to them. I do not condemn you or anything like that. Every created being must work out their own salvation or faith with the god they choose to embrace.
I don't think it is appropriate for a christian to embroil himself in a contentious debate about christianity. So in this respect I empty my self of self and encourage you to continue on your quest for truth or resolution of the questions or issues you have with respect to whatever faith you embrace.
To look upon the Radiance of my God's face is to be raised UP to inhabit the apotheosis of self-abnegation, and be big enough to accept that others will not share your beliefs. This is what I strive for.
So. There the argument/disputation sits like a burned out car placed on crates.
I hope you find some of the answers you are looking for.
take care my friend,

Well feel free not to get embroiled, then, while your God a-broils those sinners in hell. You can almost hear 'em sizzling from atop your whispy cloud.

It's funny how so many "christians" hate liberals and middle-eastern people... when christ was both.

I tell people, sure the Jews killed Jesus... but Jesus was a jew too. And it's not like we're any better. If he was walking around on earth we'd try to run him over with our cars.

well, yeah I mean the ethnic jews of the middle east have more genetically in common with middle east moslems or arabs than they do with eropean jews and jews of other races.
i mean have you ever run into someone from the middle east and you thought they were were arab, even the accent sounded arab to our american ears and you find out they are actually ethnicall middle eastern jews. it's sad
the christian right have bartered some of the foundations of our faith for the prestige and power of being linked with the republican party, to be considered the spiritual adviser(s) to george bush's reductive and to me insincere brand of fundamentalism. it's just something handy to exploit and use as a pretex to consolidate his base of power and make his platform more palatable.
and jesse jackson and others did it with clinton and carter
i think the man of god has NO PLACE walking the halls of power and yielding to the seductive trapppings of that power
jesus was a jew. he was probably bronzed and had thick tight curly hair
the anglicized iconography of jesus bears no physical resemblence to that humble carpenter that changed the world with His ideas of compassion for all poeples - despite what your religious affiliation may be
