has got to do
something about Karl Rove
Oh, hell, you know and I know the web is woven with lunatics, this is by nature part of its ghastly beauty. I just happened upon the rat’s nest described below, and oh my dear, Will Jesus when He Returns please make a special trip, just for these guys? (I don’t see The Coming as a single event, but—holy crap, I just realized I am talking like one of the characters in my novel.)
You come to do this, in, ahem, maturity, you find you’ve developed the skill to both be yourself and, on another level, observe yourself, from almost an aesthetic point of view.
Or maybe this is me, and on this cool, peaceful evening, the usually separate trajectories relax and blend. What I write to you—my all-important reader—what my characters say to me … I think there’s a third meta-level hiding in here somewhere …
Much of life demands a steady stream of ordered, linear and sequential thought. Totally not my native turf. I wonder if it really is anyone’s, or if the thought disorders so prevalent on the web might not be a result of that kind of pressure. To think, to be, a certain way. Perhaps all dreaming is sweet, friendly … and the barking-mad among us, in all their fabulous inconsistencies, might be healed by giving it a rest. If the unreal fears might not die down.
Though really, first, Jesus has got to do something about Karl Rove.
The Coming Thugocracy: Three things doth a people need to remain free: reliable, secure communications; an education grounded in history and basic moral philosophy; and a copious supply of weapons suited to individuals’ hands.
I’m sorry, that was from the Book of …? Chapter? Verse?
In the event of an Obama victory, especially should the Senate fall wholly into the hands of the Democrats, a final assault upon freedom of expression and the right to keep and bear arms will begin at once. In that case, we’d have less than three months to prepare ourselves. It would be wise to start now.
A colleague has forecast an Obama administration as ‘four years of hell.’ No doubt it would be; it’s certainly an excellent reason to get braced. But even if he loses, the destroyers of American civilization, the only Christian-Enlightenment-based society remaining on Earth, will still be at work.
Enlightenment-based. Hoo-kay. What I wonder is, how and at what point weapons got so mixed up with Christ … never mind that wingnuts like this lay claim to speak for Jesus, even as they manage to overlook that, according to His teachings, their asses would be the first to go.
How do I know? Versus the alternate, um, reality of the barking ones?
A certain sweet consistency. Really. As a woman, it’s my right.
