Having successfully destroyed his own Polyps of Mass Destruction, The Emperor finds it necessary to inspect other people’s buns:

In some places, people have the courage to fight back:

The Emperor laments the demise of his favorite news organ:

4000 delegates of the Disciples of Christ General Assembly have approved a resolution “opposing the war in Iraq as contrary to Jesus’ teachings.” Sounds promising enough. But it seems some have expressed concern of what this message would “send to the troops.”

One opposing delegate was disappointed that the resolution did not also “morally support” the troops executing the war. Huh? How do you oppose an action on moral grounds yet claim “support” for those who carry out the orders for mass murder and mayhem- the very action you oppose? How are these instigators above judgment?

The resolution does make one brave claim- it supports military personnel who refuse deployment to Iraq because of their Christian convictions and who understand that they may be disciplined as a result. One opponent, with his statement, sums up the mentality of state-worshipping pseudo-Christians:

“Deserters are considered dishonorable discharges, which results in loss of certain rights like voting rights. This is a very stringent punishment for a young person who may not be mature enough or emotionally stable enough” to understand the consequences of their actions.

In other words, taking a moral stand consistent with Christian ethic may result in a loss of state privileges. After all, a life isn’t worth living without those precious gifts.

In other words, taking a moral stand consistent with Christian ethic is a dangerous step only to be taken by an emotionally mature, stable person- defined as one who respects and bows to state authority.

In other words, you should only take a moral stand based on Christian ethic if such action will result in no risky, uncomfortable, or life-changing consequences.

It seems no group needs more of God’s help than God’s people.

I picked up a recent issue of Time magazine while sitting in my dentist’s waiting room the other day, and came across this article by neoconservative “public intellectual” William Kristol, titled—get this—“Why Americans Should Feel Happy.”

Kristol observes that

“About three-quarters of Americans, according to surveys, think the country is on the wrong track. About two-thirds of the public disapprove of the job performance of President Bush, and an even higher number disdain Congress.”

Being a lifelong worshipper of state power, Kristol seems a little concerned about this development. Surely, so many people being down in the mouth about the US Federal Megastate bodes ill for Western civilization, or so Kristol seems to think.

So he endeavors to bolster his countrymen’s understandably waning faith in their government by reminding them that there was another time when they were so pessimistic about their oh-so-precious social democracy, and he insists that they turned out to be wrong:

“The widespread pessimism in the early 1990s about the course of the country turned out to be unwarranted. The rest of the decade featured impressive economic growth, a falling crime rate, successful reform of the welfare system and a reasonably peaceful world. Perhaps the problems weren’t so bad in the first place, or perhaps the political system produced politicians, like Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich, who were able to deal with the problems. But, in any case, the country got back on course.”

I literally burst out in laughter when I read the above paragraph. Is this schmuck for real? Methinks Mr. Kristol, through his Weekly Standard, has spent so much time spinning propaganda for the War Party—which consisted of some of the biggest, most fallacious whoppers in the entire history of propaganda—that he now appears to be so lost in his own make-believe world as to have no contact with reality whatsoever. Perhaps his inability to discern 300 million individuals from something he calls ”the country” gives us a clue.

Does he sincerely believe that politicians saved us from ourselves in the previous decade???

Oh yes, where O where would we be, O Bubba, O Newtish One, O “America’s Mayor,” without your firm, guiding hands? O praise and glory be to thee upon the highest, O wise ones!

Of course, such corrections are a good thing, as is always the case when massive fraud is finally exposed for what it really is.

Justin Raimondo has posted this little gem of documentary filmmaking at the Antiwar.com blog—A splendid interview with one of the US Federal Megastate’s finest imperial barbarians.

Pope Benedict XVI has asserted that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true church of Christ.

This report clearly shows how church institutions are nothing but mirror images of the state. The state insists on legitimacy by running a protection racket. Church institutions sell their con by claiming to be exclusive gatekeepers to personal salvation. No institution is more arrogant with this claim than the motley, child abusing collection of perverts (sounds like Congress) that run the Catholic “Church.”

Pope Benny can babble on all he wants about the “doctrine of primacy,” “apostolic succession,” and “internal constitutive principle” but I ain’t buyin’. His Highness also seems upset that other church institutions don’t recognize “the primacy of the pope.” So, Benny, who died and made you King? It certainly wasn’t Christ. I can’t seem to find anywhere in the New Testament where Jesus Christ insists on a pope, or any other arrogant son of a bitch, to “run” his church.  Perhaps Pope Benny should spend more time seeing that his thugs (priests) keep their hands out of little boy’s pants rather than telling the flock to whom they must bow. Piss on the Pope.
