OF COURSE Jon Stewart cannot explicitly say, “Religion! What a pile of crazy crap!” Nor can any elected official or mainstream media personality in the United States. But that is just what this video says. It is not socialism, or communism or even guns that separates us from the rest of the civilized world, it is our singular violent and intolerant form of American Christianity. For the most part EVANGELICAL Christianity. As a society we like to call it AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. Meaning GOD and JESUS love America and Americans more than anyone else. Some time ago that same idea became the impetus for a thing called The Third Reich.
Political failure Karl Rove is not on to this problem and is trying to foil evangelical Christians in the GOP primaries. Though Rove calls it THE TEA PARTY, the monster he helped create, but don’t kid yourself, the driving force of the Tea Party is religious intolerance, and racial bigotry. OF COURSE IT IS. Gee…
Look at all the CLOWN problems the GOP has had since the 2010 TEA PARTY win of the House. The names of the clowns that are doing the GOP in are Akin, Bachmann, Santorum, Mourdoch, Gingrich, Cain, Broun, Paul(s), Cruz, O’Donnell, Angle, King… Everyone of them given to ABOVE ALL ELSE Christian ignorance, intolerance and bigotry.
Look at the issues that they are losing and will keep losing: gay marriage, abortion, immigration, birth control, evolution, global warming and even rape for crying out loud.
It is this profound from of ignorance that pulls us away from the civilized world and pushes us into the realm of third world African and Islamic barbarianism. With all elected officials and mainstream media sucking up to it or lose share or elections.
What can be done about it? I guess nothing other than what they are doing to themselves. Bringing their clown show to the front pages for all to see. Relentlessly. These ignorant old bigots watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh are dying off, Plavix and Lipitor just make it take longer than expected.
