Independence Day Eve

Perhaps I'm a day early with this, but Sunday's sermon and a crazy bumper sticker covered Impala prompted this post on July 4th Eve.

By now, you've probably heard of the nice favor our president did for his pal Scooter Libby. First off, who the fuck is called Scooter? Second, if some guy named Scooter is involved politics, shouldn't we be the slightest bit concerned? What crap!

The bumper sticker moron had slogans like "Pray the Vote" and "Friends don't let friends vote Republican". I'm all for voting your conscious, but puhlease don't vote your religion. It's called separation of church and state people.

I totally know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I encourage you to speak out if engaged in a political debate that relies on using religion as what's right or wrong.

Sunday, the preacher of my progressive little southern baptist church here in the small town, reminded us Jesus he has no political agenda, and that he helped the poor, elevated women, and has unconditional love for everyone. And he also said we should interpret the Bible as Jesus said or did things.

So yes, go head on this Independence Day...if you like your freedom thank a veteran...if you like a pointless war with more than 3000 causalities and countless other wounded in action, if you like pissing off the rest of the world and making things worse with 'the terrorists', then thank the Bush administration.

And with that, I'm sure I just got put on 'the list'.

Smooches and Happy 4th to all!
