Oppose Flag Idolatry

Oppose Flag Idolatry

Comments 7 comments

Oppose the “Flag Anti-desecration” Amendment. First off, notice the language of religion and the sacred here. To “desecrate” is to violate the sacredness of something. To be “anti-desecration” is to be against the violation of the sacred. This assumes that the flag is holy, sacred, sanctified, blessed, consecrated. The American flag should not be made into a golden calf, a graven image; to worship the symbol would be a grave mistake.* Making a “holy” thing of the American flag is…

Rant on the So-called Marriage Amendment

Rant on the So-called Marriage Amendment

Comments 0 Comment

Tell Congress you oppose the “marriage” amendment to our Constitution. I did…. How dare you try to amend our Constitution to discriminate against any American citizen? How dare you appeal to hate? How dare you use God for this! This is so low, so hypocritical. You won’t dabate Iraq, but you WILL debate this? Is this what you have left to say about “compassionate conservatism”? You’ve let pseudo-christian dominionists (otherwise known as supremacists) gain too much power in our process…

The Georgia State Senate has passed two pieces of legislation that pose a serious threat to the separation of church and state. One would create state-funded Bible classes in Georgia public schools. The second would allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed by county governments. Both bills are on Governor Sonny Perdue’s desk, and he is contemplating whether to sign them. Take action now and demand that Governor Perdue defend the Constitution and Georgia’s citizens from these attacks on the…

Banning hot cross buns?

What do you get when you pour very hot water down a rabbithole? Hot cross bun(ny)s! One a penny two a penny – Hot cross buns! It’s official – the memes of repression in the name of freedom and diversity have travelled to the U.K. Or have they? For fear of offending the religious minorities at The Oaks Primary School in Ipswich, headteacher Tina Jackson has asked suppliers to remove the cross from their hot cross buns. .. “The cross…

Laura Bush – Corinna Corinna

Laura Bush – Corinna Corinna

Comments 2 comments

Laura Bush (and again, what drugs do they have her on?) referred to the hurricane Katrina as “Corinna” twice. It wouldn’t bother me so much except that: 1) It occurred to me that it was a Freudian slip. Whoopi Goldberg may be the only black person that Laura can think of, and she is assocated with a killer hurricane? What does that imply? Some sort of “they brought it on themselves” idea? Or should we look at the movie itself,…
