Shameful Christian Fascism
Headline on the front page Austin American Statesman Friday morning:
(Governor) Perry: Add Intelligent Design to Classes
So now, just 36 hours after UT wins the big one, I go back to deep, intense shame for being a "Texan." Fuck this place. So this is going to be the defining issue in the Texas governor's race this year? Intelligent design? I am a christian, but what I see going on is shameful. I stopped going to church YEARS ago because I couldn't stomach being around such hypocrites. I'm not saying that I'm holy or better than anyone else--far from it. My feet are clay just like everyone else's. But here's the difference: I'm not going around saying I have some hotline to God while at the same time cheating and swindling honest people. Intelligent Design belongs in Sunday school. Why is that so hard to understand?
Christian Fascism is happening right now, people. The thing that really chaps my ass about it though, is MOST "republicans" aren't don't support Intelligent Design, and aren't happy about all this corruption, but they willingly tolerate it because of their core defining issue: Taxation. The rank and file Republicans really care about nothing other than keeping their tax rate as low as possible. All the other issues are just white noise. Screw education. Screw roads and infrastructure. Screw the environment. "Just keep my taxes low, goddammit." How very sad. God, I'm ashamed.....
ps--vote Democrat in 2006 and forever!!!
