Open Letter to Washington, D.C.

Open Letter to Congress and ersatz President Obama (and wife):

We, the American people, are sorry to learn that you have disavowed your oaths of office and are attempting to create a socialist state to replace the American Republic.

While we wish you all the best in your endeavors to create another failing socialist state dictatorship, we regret to inform you that the rest of the nation will NOT be accompanying your on this trail of tears you are mapping out. 

We Americans are actually happy with the Constitution and the rules therein that Congress and Washington, D.C. have been prostituting for so many decades and we have to decided to re institute that document as the Law of the Land.

By coincidence, we are also happy that you all have congregated yourselves in that area of the country, so now you can continue on your merry way without bothering us in our pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness. 

We will probably let you know about the rules you will have to observe when you venture out amongst us REAL PEOPLE.  Such as fiscal responsibility, truth in advertising, legal voting and citizenship, but we think you won’t like it out here in America, so you won’t be coming out much. 

We have hundreds, if not thousands, of veterans of the military who will gladly discuss with your “Federal Police Force” the boundaries of what they can and cannot do in America.  As well as your puppet alphabet agencies whose overwatch of American activities has proven so irritating in the recent past.

As for your terrorist cohorts in high places, well, you can keep them.  They are not welcome in America, never have been, never will be. 

America is for Americans, wherever their birth, whatever their creed or color.  We have no need to bring anymore dissension into our country.  We already argue among ourselves enough to make it a  very interesting place to live.  We don’t need your imported agents to help us out.

See how well your RACE CARD, or your RELIGIOUS BIAS cards function when we Americans are hard at work getting our own act together. 

Without the IRS, DHS, ATF, FBI, DEA, NSA, and dozens of other agencies to help root out individualism, we will probably make some surprising progress.  Keep an eye on us from your “IVORY TOWER”. 

We know…. You control the Federal Reserve.  Well, we made do without it before, We think we can manage again.

So long, and thanks for all the political jokes, you can have them back now.

Spirits in The Sky

As a child I was indoctrinated in the Assembly of God church.  Bible thumpers and Holy Rollers par excellence.

Later I was shunted to regular Baptist churches. 

As a fairly bright child who loved to read, I took up the challenge of reading the Bible. 

Without getting into incredibly involved theological discussions of the novel, I learned enough from my  reading to truly question the treatise and its premises, not to mention the multitude of flights of fancy. 

Needless to say, I lost interest in the subject of religion.  The normal result when someone of average or above intelligence actually reads the book.

And here I am talking about just the content of the book, without even discussing the effects of various translations from and to various languages and all the problems inherent with that process.  Woh!

Anyway, over the years the whole premise of a superbeing, omnipotent, omniscient and all pervasive over and around the earth, who created the universe and THEN proceeded to concern itself with actions of individuals on that earth to the point of interfering, i.e., stirring the pot, from time to time with cryptic messages, portents, prophets, miracles, etc., etc., ad nauseum, really got to seeming pretty silly to me. 

The visible evidence of Gawd’s power on Earth is and was always in the hand of pompous sounding men, and occasionally women, who mostly concerned themselves with how other people behaved and offering some sort of hall pass for that behavior in return for a sizable donation. 

Salvation directly related to the size of said donations…. Hmmmm?

Then, in my early adulthood I heard the story of how one science fiction author, at a drunken debauchery (pronounced SciFi convention) declaimed that “the only guaranteed way to make a lot of money without the government taking a huge piece, was to invent a religion.! 

15 or 20 years later, Scientology was born of L. Ron Hubbard.

So, this super being, this Gawd, everyone keeps claiming they personally talked to and who wants us to send all our money to them, has been personally responsible for more death and destruction than any other single cause in the entire history of the world.

From Mammoth stampedes to the Crusades.  From the Conquistadores to the Mujahideen. 

This God keeps telling his true believers to kill somebody else in his name, so  said true believers can get into heaven.  And, after all, they are just Infidels.  They don’t really count as People, right? They will never get into our heaven, so who cares what we do to them, except, of course, Gawd, who wants them wiped out, but can’t quite manage a plague or a flood as the Biblical days.  Hmmmmm?

I truly do not have a problem with anybody’s having religion.  Everybody’s life has to have a structure to hang its premises on.

Everyone has them.  They are just different, right?

What bugs me is when those religious types start to tell ME how to live right.  What I am doing wrong.  How they Gawd is gonna get me. 

Well, fine, then just let your Gawd come and get me.  Being Omniscient, he ought to be able to find me, right.?  And, if he is so Omnipotent, why can’t he do it himself?  Why does he send a nutjob like Achmed, or Bubba Joe to do it.?

He could just send the creeping crud to do me in.  An avalanche of sewage,  a hurricane,  or in my case, a raging semi at 75 mph would do the job nicely, now wouldn’t it.?

And all this is truly irrelevant to those of us who know the True State of Affairs on and around the Earth.  The spirits of the animals, trees and elements speak to us on a daily basis and try to show us the way to Happiness, Success, Wealth, Enlightenment and all those other aspects of the good life that escape most every member of humanity from time to time.

My personal favorite in the Wolf God, who is wholly immaterial in body, yet makes his presence felt every time I get behind the wheel, as his apparent forte is to create openings in freeway traffic whenever I try to merge..

Seriously, it happens that I will start to merge and there will suddenly be a gap or an opening that is the perfect size for my vehicle, whatever size that is.

I can hear you laughing… but you expect ME to show respect for your particular collections of dogma, stories, rituals and beliefs.   Hmmmmm?

See, now that is a Wolf God sign if ever I saw one.  Watch for earthquakes, volcanoes, and other natural phenonema coming soon to your neighborhood.
