The Synergistic Pen

I swear I have low tolerance for the braindead...

while perusing one of my favorite forums, I came across a thread where folk were lifting up McCain and knocking down Obama...

why?

because McCain said the word "God" and Obama said "that's out of my pay grade"...

the irony of this thread was, the originator of it... admitted right up front that the only reason she even watched McCain's speech the other day was because her mother wanted her to (this is a grown woman, mind you, not a 18 year old just getting into the political mix). She freely admitted that she doesn't plan on voting at all...

but now, because of the words used by two men running for office, she's gonna "think about" voting....

amazing...

according to her, the republicans have it right...

fornication and the sometimes subsequent abortion is a bad thing
no prayer in school is a bad thing
not fighting for our freedom is a bad thing...

this from a 30 something year old, with children, living a comfortable life apparently, who wants us all to be kind to her because, yes, "our people fought for the right to vote"

who may not show up on November 5th....

and if she does,it will be because some old man said "God"... and that pleases her...

politics and religion don't mix... Democrats know this...so do Republicans...

yet, every major election, one group or the other evokes the name of God in the attempt to endear themselves to the populous...


the really sad thing about THIS particular instance of braindeath is...

fornication is bad, yet one of the candidate's children is underaged and about to become a mother...

not having prayer in school is bad, yet the only other time some pray is when it will get them the vote...

not fighting for our freedom is bad...but after 7 years of fighting... they FINALLY found someone whose kid is ACTUALLY gonna go fight...

hypocrisy is a mutha...ain't it?

wonder if I should run for public office, promising to have God in the chair right next to me....? wonder if I'll get the job?
