Jesus did not tell you to respect to authority, he said, “Render unto Caesar
that which is Caesar’s, and render unto to God that which is God’s.” (quoting
from memory here) In my opinion, and probably a lot of readers’ opinions, that’s
a very clever way of saying, “You won’t trap me into publicly admitting to
sedition, but everything belongs to God and the political power of God comes
first.” Remember that Jesus also told you to sell your cloak if you needed the
means to buy a sword...
With all that said -- it’s always war with fanatics. The hardened Xtian right
in this country is a well-financed anti-republican (not the party, the form of
government) rebellion waiting to happen -- from school prayer to what you are
doing in your bedroom, Xtians want to know! From where I sit, I can’t tell if
the higher-ups truly believe or just find the expedient of Xtian useful to their
power-grab.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but it’s oddly coincidental that
this, as well as other ‘newsworthy items’ are deflecting attention from the
‘bigger crimes of humanity’ that the chief honcho of conservatives in America
is pulling off right now.

The reality is that our appointed president is absolutely impeachable, yet
nothing will happen. We are far from the memories of Viet Nam and Watergate and
americans just do not, refuse to, admit to themselves that our democracy is in
imminent threat of collapse from within -- if it can be fairly thought to exist
any longer, in the first place.
U.S. democracy is absolutely facing a critical threat and even the democrats
cannot face down the hardened Xtian right that runs the Bushite from Karl Rove
(a.k.a Bush’s Brain) on down...
The people running the show were not elected to office, they have no mandate
upon which to predicate the extraordinary power-grabs currently underway both
here in the states and abroad. What the world doesn’t understand as it looks in
on the situation is that most of us americans that oppose the Bushite feel as if
we are being held hostage also.

No one should slip the mortal coil without raging one last time against the
dying of the light. And so Sally Baron did.
“Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal
of President Bush,” reads Baron’s obituary in today’s editions of The Capital
Times.
