WELCOME TO THE VEGETABLE NATION

Welcome one and all to the A.D.D. afflicted society of cretins that obsesses over details (such as Barry Bonds' steroid use and the Schiavo family's private dilemma) while doggedly persevering in its broader mission to ignore the bigger picture at all costs. God bless the Vegetable Nation!

But how about that thing that has cost the lives of 1524 US troops so far, killed more than 17.000 civilians, and pissed away in excess of 158 billion dollars? Nah, fuck that. Instead, the fascists for Jeezuz seize upon one family's trauma and use that for their own political grist. Instead of allowing an unfortunate hot chick-turned-vegetable to fade out in peace, let them use her emaciated form as a stick with which to beat the drum of misanthropic conservative 'values.' Let the parasites feed on private tragedy so that it becomes another easy opportunity (like abortion or gay marriage) to tart up bigotry and pass it off as faith. God bless the Vegetable Nation!

Truly, the repulsive spectacle of the fake humanitarian shit-for-brains praying for one vegetative soul's token extension while happily condoning the ongoing slaughter of the young, healthy and viable in Iraq and Afghanistan clearly demonstrates that Terri Schiavo is far from being the only person operating on brain stem alone in America today. But if we are to bow to God's will and not let her die, how come it is only the intervention of medical science that is keeping her alive to begin with? Ever thought of that, dumbass holier-than-thous? God bless the Vegetable Nation: pinheaded fuckwits for Christ one and all.

DANCES WITH LOONS

I recently signed on at ChristianBBS.com to engage in some theological and moral debate with the born again Christian community. As these freaks are now governing the country, perhaps this is the time to start a dialogue? Posing as one of the flock, in the hope of garnering some kind of empathetic response to my probings, I planted this question on the discussion board: what would Jesus bomb? Here are some of the warm chats I had with my Christian brethren (preserved below lest my thread be deleteth):

FriedWire:
I see around me a world of hypocrites, nominal Christians and plain charlatans who seem far more comfortable with the notion of killing - as opposed to loving - one's neighbor. Maybe I am in ignorance, but isn't the whole point of Christ's teaching to show us that we are better than that?
[Inference: You're proper Christians — don't those fakers piss you off?]

WhiteEagle:
In the Old Testament, Israel often fought other peoples in self-defense. Our country's soldiers have killed innocent people, but those people had warning we were coming for the terrorists, and unfortunately there are no perfect wars.
[Inference: No. We like a bit of war.]

FriedWire:
Bush turned 9-11 into an excuse to invade the world's second largest oil reserve and a tool to maintain his own power by spreading fear so that we all fall unquestioningly into line. A Christian response, surely, would be to strive to avoid more unjust deaths and to lead the world not into greater danger, but into safer times.
[Inference: Are you sure?]

WhiteEagle:
I hear that gasoline may be up to nearly $5.00 a gallon this summer. I wish Congress would allow Bush to have oil drilled in Alaska...If you want to call that American greed, go for it!
[Inference: yes. And we are partial to a little greed as well.]

FriedWire:
Now the government controls the Iraqi oil infrastructure and supply, we're being ripped off more than ever. As the world's largest consumer of oil and home to the biggest oil and petroleum trading companies, whoever controls America pretty much controls the oil trading. And the price of it.
[Inference: Seriously, if you're Christians, why doesn't Bush piss you off?]

Thunderz7:
As to the Republican in the White House; did you prefer the previous Democrat occupant, who promoted killing babies, and gay rights, and didn't know sex from cigars, or inhaling from lying?
[Inference: Let's just randomly change the subject.]

WhiteEagle:
Fried Wire: Islamic Extremists are following their Religion to the letter and also their ancestors historically. The Koran does tell them to kill Infidels, of which Jews and Christians are along with everyone else who does not bow to Allah. They have declared a "holy war" on the Western world. Or did you miss that?
[Inference: It's all the fault of the towel heads.]

FriedWire:
Wrong. The Koran proscribes all war except in self defense and writes about coexisting with people of other religions...bin Laden no more represents Islam than Timothy McVeigh represented Christianity.
[Inference: I bet you're a fan of Timothy McVeigh, though, you nazi gobshite.]

Thunderz7:
The WORD tells me that the sons of Ishmael will be enemies to all, even to each other. Islam is of Ishmael, my enemy. Israel had to kill many enemies.
[Inference: I may be psychotic and I have difficulty concealing it...]

Caretaker:
Maybe Fried Wire should get his facts straight and stop peddling the same old liberal pablum.
[Inference: Bleeuuuurrrrgggghhhh]

Thunder7:
Interesting how Fried Wire's opinions and those of the other died-in-the-wool liberals, are raising their voices with those who are so adamantly opposed to the establishment of the first truly democratic government in the Arab world. Interesting how Fried Wire and his ilk are opposed to equality and education for women.
[Inference: fascist liberal woman hater!]

FriedWire:
So you guys seriously believe that all Muslims think God is pleased by indiscriminate carnage and terrorism? 'Bout time you started nailing some right angles on your crucifixes and calling them swastikas if that's the case. And you can kiss my ass with the patronizing 'liberal' garbage. I'm such a 'liberal' because the site of small kids being blown to shreds by Bunker Buster bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan makes me sick to my stomach and weep for the degraded, hypocritical and inhumane mind set that is considered Christian in this country since the Bush regime took power.
[Inference: I'm starting to lose it with you guys.]

WhiteEagle:
No one wants children killed. Yet war is not without innocent victims. I see that the people who died at the Pentagon didn't bother you one little bit. Not to mention all the innocent people on those 3 planes of which there were children also that all died for the daily jihad of Islam.
[Inference: Latté sipping al Qaeda groupie]

FriedWire:
In response to White Eagle's dumb and insulting assertion: I am fully in sympathy with the innocent people who died on 9-11 as I am with anybody else who is murdered. Therefore, I'm fully in support of the legal actions that are seeking to bring Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, et al to account for, at best, their criminal negligence and, at worst, their complicity in 'The Enterprise.' I guess you'd slam the 60+ families of 9-11 victims who are currently suing the Bush administration under the RICO organized crime statute because you'd know better. I guess you'd also know better than Stanley G. Hilton - former senior advisor to Senator Bob Dole and former buddy of Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz - who has filed a $7 billion class action lawsuit against high officials in the current Bush administration for aiding and abetting and facilitating the attacks. Oh, and there were 4 planes not 3 - 2 at WTC, 1 at the Pentagon and 1 that was shot down over Pennsylvania.
[Inference: It's like talking to a rocking horse]

KuuKuu:
Please gentlemen. Let's not spread disunity. I plead with you my brethren to agree to disagree and still be united in Christ. Please dear Daddy, give us the boldness to join in unity to do your will what ever that may be for each individual among us. Turn back Satan who seeks to divide us and keep your message and your mission from reaching our world.
[Inference: ???]

After my few days of chatting with 'Christians', I gave up. When you're in an environment where grown men are referring to their omnipotent Judeo-Christian deity as 'Daddy,' you know it's time to catch a cab. But if the Christians of Jeezuz Land could just be persuaded that Bush is a phony and that all he stands for is in direct opposition to Biblical teachings, we may be in with a chance of dumping the dumb, fake theocracy that currently rules us and revive the secular, free-thinking spirit that was the foundation of this country. I think it may take a while however.
