Have you ever dated a guy for a year and then one day you’re driving along, singing a song, and he says to you, “I chopped up and buried my mother in the backyard�? We all long for love, and infatuation and newness so often pose as the impostors of true love. Our father who art in heaven where oh where is my soulmate? Do you think that you would respect your boyfriend if he said, “I voted for Hitler because he was a man�?
Most of us have enough trouble coping with the everyday stresses of earning a living and paying the bills without worrying about politics. Somehow we follow our instincts to be loved by joining groups, like the Republican and Democratic Party, or this religion or that religion. Today Pope Benedict XVI arrived in France to visit the shrine of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, where in 1858 the 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous saw the mother of Jesus Christ 18 times over a few months. Later the Holy Father will be sunbathing on the French Riviera with the real Madonna and her daughter Lourdes.
From the time 2 weeks ago when the world learned of Sarah Palin America has been buzzing over videos of Sarah Palin speaking at her Church and exclaiming that the Iraq War is a task from God, God’s will and that building the Alaska pipeline is the will of God, a task from God. This is why last night in her first interview ABC anchorman Charlie Gibson asked the woman who in 2 months may be a heartbeat away from the Presidency of the United States, “Do you think that the Iraq War is a Holy War?� Sarah Palin said, “I don’t know, I can’t speak for God.�
The Sarah Palin of today is a much different person than the real Sarah Palin of two weeks ago. The Republican spinmeisters have spent the last two weeks doing a My Fair Lady makeover of Sarah Plain. They have told her, “Listen Sarah, you really need to change your tune if you want to become President, so lie through your teeth about what you really believe. Ixsnay on the bridge to ohwhere nay. You told Newsmax magazine two weeks ago that global warming is not caused by humans. Now say that global warming is caused by humans or you may not get elected. People know that it is.� Recently Trish Rolfe, who runs the Sierra Club's Alaska office, said that Governor Palin has been a disaster for Alaska's environment. "The idea that she stands up to the oil companies is a joke," says Trish Rolfe.
I guess in the old days politicians lied through their teeth and it just became a matter of “He said, she said.� Today’s politicians are pinned down to their prior statements for the whole world to see on the internet and youtube. Watch Sarah Palin in June, 2008 say on film that the Iraq War is a task from God: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2ypVSYoEKA
O.J. Simpson is going on trial again, this time for armed robbery. In a criminal trial, the case often hinges on the credibility of the witnesses. Were Sarah Palin to be cross examined by Johnnie Cochrane, Johnnie would say to Sarah, “In June you said that God is commanding the United States to fight the war in Iraq. Today you just testified that you do not know the will of God, you don’t know if the Iraq War is a task from God. Which version is true?
Perhaps like Saint Paul on the road to Damascus Sarah Palin has had a conversion. Perhaps in the past two weeks she has converted to the belief that humans cause global warming, and that the Iraq War isn’t the will of God. Or, perhaps now she is putting on her sheep’s clothing because the Republican spinmeisters, perjury counselors, have decided that people may not vote for the real Sarah Palin.
Today Pope Benedict XVI landed in France where he was welcomed by Sir Elton John, who called for an end to all religion, and Sir Elton serenaded the Holy Father with his classic “Bennie and the Jets.� In 2005 The Temple of Love – The World Peace Religion http://www.thetempleoflove.com was founded. Last year The Temple of Love spawned an enormous world wide interfaith peace movement, “A Common Word Between You and Us, Love� http://www.acommonword.com
The media claims to be fair and balanced. The media is giving non stop coverage to the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, the Georgia War, John McCain shouting out to anyone who will listen, “The pre-eminent challenge of our time is our fight against radical Muslim extremism. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran.� Watch your next President’s singing performance, which has been viewed by over a million people on youtube alone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zoPgv_nYg Simon Cowell said, “John, you’re not quite there yet.�
Imagine if Vladimir Putin was talking at the United Nations and began singing “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, New York.� The two nuclear bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 50 kilotons each. Russia has 10,000 100 megaton nuclear bombs which break into 8 in midair as they fly over the North Pole and exterminate the United States forever. Every nuclear scientist knows that nuclear world war 3 and its aftermath nuclear winter then ultraviolet summer will leave no survivors on earth. JFK, Albert Einstein and Dwight David Eisenhower all said that “The only way to win World War 3 is to prevent it." Right now, after Sarah Palin’s interview on ABC yesterday, we know that the way right now to prevent it is to make sure that John McCain and Sarah Palin are defeated on November 4, 2008.
Jesus Christ railed at the moneychangers in King Solomon’s Temple. Moses railed at the Jewish people dancing around the Golden Cow. Jesus commanded that we all sell all of our possessions and give all the money to the poor. It seems that the media has discovered that news of war sells, and news of peace does not sell, and so they bombard you with news of war, with Sarah Palin going on and on like a broken record about how God is calling all Christians to fight radical Muslim extremists, and George Bush in 2003 publicly calling for a Christian Crusade against Islam and John McCain going on and on about nuking the Islamofascists. Meanwhile, the world’s Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders are working feverishly to unite the 3 religions before they lead us all into nuclear world war 3, MAD, mutually assured destruction, and the media is completely ignoring these peace efforts.
Here is Pope Benedict rebuking Sarah Palin’s claim that the Iraq War is a task from God. This past Sunday October 21, 2007 the world’s religious leaders convened in Naples to try to bring everlasting peace to earth. Prior to lunch, Pope Benedict addressed 200 of the world’s Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Zoroastrian and Buddhist religious leaders and Pope Benedict said, “In a world wounded by conflicts, where violence is justified in God’s name, it’s important to repeat that religion can never become a vehicle of hatred. Religion can never be used in God’s name to justify violence. On the contrary religions can and must offer precious resources to build a peaceful humanity because they speak about peace in the heart of man.�
Following the October 2007 interfaith conference, Saudi King Abdullah convened an interfaith Muslim, Christian, Jewish conference in Madrid Spain, recently, which the American media completely ignored. In early November, 2008, in two months, Pope Benedict XVI, like Pope John Paul and Barack Obama a vigorous opponent of the Iraq War from the beginning, Pope Benedict will be hosting a Christian Muslim Jewish interfaith unity conference at the Vatican. President McCain will be attending with his spiritual advisor John Hagee who called the Catholic Church “The Great Whore of Babylon� and Pope Benedict therefore “The Great Pimp of Babylon.�
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away until Sarah Palin said that Russia unprovokedly attacked Georgia, and Georgia should join Nato. Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin, “If Georgia joins Nato, and Russia attacks Georgia, will you take the United States to war with Russia?� Sarah Palin replied, “Perhaps so.� Sarah Palin replied, “Perhaps so� as matter of factly as if one of her kids had asked her in the grocery store, “Are we going to watch hockey later?� Sarah Palin replied to Charlie Gibson, that if Russia moves into South Ossetia to protect its own citizens, President Palin is going to take us all into nuclear world war 3 with Russia, because as she elaborated, with regards to Nato, “those are the rules.�
The female voters of the United States are now going to put Sarah Palin a heartbeat from the presidency, even though she thinks that human beings have not contributed to global warming, and even though she will not hesitate to push the button on Armageddon over the tiniest provocation which has nothing to do with the United States, because Sarah Palin is a woman. As Hillary Clinton said, “No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin.� |
