Whew, I'm getting wore out. Our friendly (usually religious) conservatives are just waging too many wars right now: The War Against the Environment, The War Against Immigrants, The War Against Gays, The War Against Liberals, The War Against Iraq, and maybe The War Against Muslims.
But the only war the good conservatives like to talk about is The War Against Terror. Now, after reading all the "wars" above, I'm wondering who is really inflicting all the terror.
What really makes my few remaining hairs curl up is the favorite tactic of the Religious Right: Pretend like you're being attacked as a way to advance your agenda. Hey, man, we're on to you. But really, do we have to make the United States a theocracy like Iran and like the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan? These places suck if you happen to be a women, or worse, if you happen to have an opinion. And if you happen to be the wrong religion you can expect persecution and maybe death.
Finally, as the Right and Left culture wars drag on, I wish both sides could leave Hitler and Nazis out of this. Why does one side have to constantly compare the other to Adolph? Come on, give that worn out cliche a rest.
Respectfully,
THE GOOSE
We live on a blue marble flying through space. I'm surprised at how many people forget that. Our species and ecosystem are fragile, yet we are systematically destroying it instead of protecting it. This blog is dedicated to environmentalism and sustainability
