Palin and Bachmann
They look alike, and represent the same values, which are after all very good American values, of family, community, business, and church -- as long as they are not taken to be exclusively correct. All the positive spin and juice the charismatic cheerleading political sophomore Sarah Palin has generated with her Lady GopGod act can now be transferred to Bachmann, who does not suffer from Palin's negative counterpoints in education and intellect.
Sister Sarah thought she was the Chosen One, but she's just Jane The Baptist, whipping up a ballyhoo in front of the big voting tent, preparing the way for GOP (God's Own President) Bachmann, to make her the most powerful woman in the world since Cleopatra and the most highly annointed since The Virgin Mary. (And to keep Sarah Jane from stealing the show, at some point someone will cut off her head, and throw it to the crowd at the Convention in Bachmann's name.) To those who value any freedom beyond Sunday-school rules imposed by the power of irresistible enforced law, Bachmann is a true horror, as she is "Palin with brains" educated in arguing the law on behalf of her indoctrination in the powerful right-wing American extremist Christian Dominionist sect (Oral Roberts grad, I believe). Like Mr. Gingrich, she is well aware the 1st Amendment prohibits the use of the law to respect the dogma or doctrine of any establishment of religion, but she believes her Christian allegiance is to "a Higher Law" than the Constitution, and to "a Higher Truth" than science or history, so her religion's establishment is exempt from that restriction.
Bachmann is precisely the icon of what is wrong with the GOP today, for all its tradition of good Conservative principles, and for all her obvious qualifications -- clearly she is a competent and intelligent person, but she leads in a deliberately orchestrated religious coup de etat, intended to usurp the secular power of the police state to enforce the "social conservative" values of her sect. Her sect's brand of Christianity, and their politics, is not to feed the hungry and comfort the widow, but to favor the wealthy as being most blessed, and to wield the deadly sword of God's Justice to scourge the land of liberal corruption, and to reap the golden harvests that have been fertilized so many years with the seed-blood-money of martyrs in freedom's cause. They would raise the cross and flag as though following Jane The Arc, and wage The Final War On Sin, God help us all.

Obama Kicked The Can...Again.
Obama Kicks The Can, the headline reads. "I don't personally agree with gay (or any other alternative) marriage," he says, "but I wouldn't veto it. QUACK QUACK QUACK!" So he behaves like a DC Duck and kicks the can down the road another block. What a disappointment.
He kicked the can on Afghanistan... the progressives who elected him wanted the US out of that sordid money-pit, not just a few "troops" but also the jets and bombers (and their DEA target-identifiers) and the thousands of our Blackwater-type mercenary "security officers" (and evangelical missionaries) employed by the cacique Afghan regime using money we give them. He sent in 30,000 grunts, and now says he'll pull them back out during the rest of his term... which means he will not bring out any of what we had in there when he began. Kick....
He kicked the can on Marijuana decriminalization... it's moving along only because the government is giving the medical industry the exclusive right to sell it. It is only about selling permission to sell it, not about the value of the substance itself, nor about our right to decide for ourselves. With Dr. Doctor's magnanimous letter of blessing, "medical marijuana" is now the new miracle drug. Without those papers to get you past the piss test and the prosecution, you are still a degenerate criminal addicted to the Devil's weed. Obama says law enforcement should look the other way on the personal use of marijuana, but keep it illegal except under circumstances of tax and license controlled by the individual states. Kick....
Same with the sex... given the right papers from Church and State, sex is a heavenly sacrament, family values, bride price and dowry in itself, blabla... Without that permission, sex is a lurid demonic sin that will get you jailed, sued, stoned to death, and damned to Hell. The Church is demanding the State issue sex permits only in accordance with its own standards, and Obama is kicking that one down the road too. Kick...
Too bad, we had hoped for (or feared) so much more from him. So, what could be WORSE? What is unfortunately much worse is that the other party is running only the Bible-driven jingoists of the oil-patch Right, self-deceived to believe Jesus wants them to reap the benefits of sowing campaign seed money by joining the class of powerful billionaires they serve in the legislatures, and to take Dominion of the world in His name. Fifty million good Americans, sincere and hard-working people, patriotic with Purple Hearts to prove it, pious and hopeful believers in Christian utopia are cheering them on. Beware my friends, you Good Sheep of His flock, for these are wolves in chasuble, and they would lead you not because they love sheep, but because they know the price of wool, and the taste of mutton. Think the War On Drugs has been bad, and the War On Terror is worse? You just vote to give those people the power to wage War On Sin.
