"I'm the decider, and I decide what's best."

"It is fashionable stupidity to regard everything one cannot explain as a fraud." ~ Carl Jung, psychoanalyst

Don't we wish we all could say that? No not really. I was reading an interesting article written by a Southern Baptist Minister, yes a Southern Baptist Minister in the Anniston Star by the way of Sojourners.net, here's the link:

He compares today's conservative's especially the ones in the framework of Grover Norquist and the like as nothing but selfish babies (my words). Their obsession with small government, no taxes, self serving and actually an atheistic world view. He is relating an article written by Susan Pace Hamill, a University of Alabama law professor, recently in the Virginia Law Review.

This thinking makes the individual the center of the universe, which is totally contrary to the Gospel, which our "decider in chief" claims to answer to regularly. Well being a true believer, I've come to essentially doubt any sincerity from the oval orifice. Our Preznit's statements of the last few weeks may show loyalty, yet to some trained eyes they show desperation while holding onto the only things he still can control. But there are still only so many rats on a sinking ship...

I'm reminded of a game we played as children, holding up our fingers as we slowly sank below the surface of the water; each time taking one additional finger down as we sank an additional time until we pretended to drown in the pool. As for the administration the buoys are leaving the pool, the lead weights are being attached, the anchor has been tossed overboard, the S.S. Scooter has broadcast its message, the Generals have displayed there disapproval, the Frigate Fitzgerald is closing in and Cutter Cheney is already headed down; so its just a matter of time. THEN AGAIN MAYBE HE WILL DECIDE WHAT'S BEST.

"There is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy." ~ Thomas Jefferson, third US president, architect and author (1743-1826)
