"Moral Values"
The election day exit poll showed that 22% of voters said that "moral values" was the biggest concern influencing their vote. How fucking stupid is that? Everyone who voted was voting their moral values! My biggest concern was Iraq. Why? I believe in peace and justice and that starting wars for no good reason is immoral. Does that make me a moral values voter? Not according to this poll.
"Moral values" came in higher than any other issue including Iraq, terrorism, the economy, or healthcare. Of course, those voters citing moral values were overwhelmingly Evangelical Christian and Bush voters. And, of course, we all know that "moral values" in this case means anti-abortion and anti-gay.
Leave it to American politics and media to reduce the moral sentiments of an entire nation to being anti-abortion and anti-gay.

It is really ridiculous how the definition of moral values has been thwarted to anti-gay marriage and anti-choice. Morality for justice on the poor, environmental racism, greed. These are the things that Jesus would be raving about today. Too bad the zealots and church in general give myself and most other clear thinkers the willies. This could be a real arena for reform...
Anyway the Bush family funded the Nazis. I just found this out and frankly I am drawing parrallels and conclusions based on the wierd similarities between the Reichstag fire and 9/11. Very crazy.
Anonymous is actually Dan that is too hurried to get a handle
The minister of Things has been noticing many parallels between the Bush administration and the McCarthy era. This is a good topic for future blogging.
You said "fuck."
