Right-winged ideology is everywhere. From the Arkansas House to the
outhouse, right-winged, Christian, Republican ideology is spreading its
garbage over the whole state. And way too many Arkansas people are
lapping it up. It cloaks itself in Christianity and patriotism, making a
mockery out of both. In the absence of thinking, it is much easier to
spew out a line of "God Bless America", never thinking for a moment that
God might bless all of His creation, not just Americans. People wave
flags, not understanding in the slightest that democracy calls for
justice, citizen participation, compromise, compassion, and unwavering
loyalty to human life, not painted cloth or religious preference. The
flag now seems to stand for domination, militarism, capitalism,
Christianity, and a world order featuring right-winged fascist ideology.
It is a tragic time in America's history, but a hopeful one. All of
this will soon end. Not all American's are morons. At least that's what
I'd like to think. This is certainly not the best of times, and very
close to the worst. May God lead us out of this primordial ooze for the
second time.
