Original article: What Pennsylvania tells us

The Obama Cult

Ole Obama

Who art in the US and Soros' pocket

Full are your bags of power money

Thy Presidency Come

O Child of Perdition

Thy Voice be Heard

On Oprah and MTV

Give us this day our secular sermon

And forgive us if we do not attack

Everyone who attacks you

And lead us not to Hillary or McCain

For your words are sweet nothings

Making us feel good temporarily

Making us want to follow you

Anywhere and do anything for you

Swoon, raise our hands in solute

Do whatever you want, just say it

Ole Obama

PS We only have one request Ole Obama and that is for Oprah to be

your Vice President. Also Ole Obama do you have a hand solute that we could start practicing so that we could use it during our rallies? You are so magnetic, so inspiring and you can hold a crowd like only one person in the last 100 years could but that was back in Germany.

Democratic Party is out of touch with the heart of America and they do not know it

If the Democratic Party truly cared about America it would not have chosen Obama and Hillary as the two final candidates. Why? Just read the Salon posts for the last couple of months or read the blogs or newpaper comments. In them you will find the very simple human truths that still live in the hearts of America: Obama is black and Hillary is a woman. I know, I know, all the knives are out already, but I ask that you look at the posts. I, along with a friend, wrote couple of posts in Salon to find out about the level of hate for each candidate. We did this in Salon and several major newspapers around the country. We did it in so called Democratic and Republican biased media. The old ingrained religious habit of thinking that women's place is not to rule men is prevalent in America and good luck in changing it. I can assure you that the Republicans will not want a woman for President and this will especially be so with the right wing part of the Republican party. In terms of Obama, I am afraid that it is still a North vs South issue and it is still alive in America. To make matters worse political activists are using the race issue to sow even more discord between people and the comments in Salon are a sample. (Obama being half white and still playing the "I am African American" card does not help.) So, once again, Democractic Party has decided to go for suicide and thereby not serve the US interests. That is why the Democrats are a flop and that is why the Democrats should be broken up into two parties. If Republicans get elected then Democrats are to blame. There is still time to ask Gore to run!

The New Dark Ages

Ken Wilber, Depak Chopra, Dwayer, Oprah, Robbins, et all, represent the new snake charmers of this era. Two cups of meditation, a bit of positive thinking, mixed in with potions, and their books and you have enligtenement Western style. Of course these snake charmers dress it up by using authentic names which I dare not mention alongside such charlatans. Sorry, but you can think as positively as you want but you will never become a god. You can meditate for the next 10,000 years and good luck to you in achieving enlightenemnt or realizing that you are god. Why? Because we are not god and we never were. Why? Because we are human beings who do unbelievable evil. We are human beings who do great good as well. But, god? No thanks! I rather stay a human being than be any god that can be imagined by a human being, including the above charlatans.

But, you know, today's society is hungry for experience and the clowns above know how to make money. I think that someone called it spiritual materialism. It is another item on our store shelves and any person who willing to spend the money will be greatly disappointed. I have a simple rule for the followers of the above messiahs: if there is no suffering then it is not real. And real suffering does not mean stiff knee joints while meditating. Get a life and joint the human race and face the real problems instead of running away from them people.
