   What is funny about this is no one is reporting that Kuo said that it wasn’t Bush that was making fun of them it was the STAFF

   Um, don’t you mean that Bush is on Rove’s (and Cheney’s) Staff.

   Re: On ‘Religical’ Domination of Superpower Democracy

   (compared to)

   The Faithful Truth and Moral Beauty of the Amish (Quaint as Geneva Conventions?)

   Now what a haunting Reminder to America
   that horse & buggy funeral procession;
   the stricken grandfather in wounded humility
   turning his cheek from the camera as if it
   just struck
   a glancing blow;

   the Obeyed Demand of Forgiveness Finding its Way
   out to the world’s shock and awe, to mean itself that much,
   to Know that unshakably,
   affirming their potable depth of Faith and defying
   our polluted suspension of Belief
   to flow that fresh, that clean,
   that lofted through such tears,
   a Somehow still-
   -guttering
   Birthday Candle of Christ in Humanity
   ~a Wish for His Mercy on Earth NOW
   through gaping cracks of absolute innocent Grief…
   heart-felt, crushed-open meltdown-light…

   An Ageless Example
   to the busy Fuss & Bustle of Modern “Faith”
   there we have it, Folks–
   From the Hopelessly-Quaint
   “Horse & Buggy” Set!
   Haha. Maybe in the End
   The Joke’s
   …on Us…
   On Echochambered Megachurches
   flocking to the Carnival Barker’s Ticket-Pitchcraft:

   The Rapture Coaster!
   [Must Vote REPUBLICAN to Ride Forever]
   Full of a Lesson for the Lastbound “First”?
   …what a bittersweet rebuke to evangelical rapturites
   those garish Neo-Christian Rodeo Clowns,
   those Moon-$hadowed Religitician$
   of the Far Right: over-privileged, over-indulged
   Sheep-Clothed wolves
   howling on behalf of their
   darkening Party, urging Thoughtless Legions
   to Cast their Votes like Stones
   Against the Poor:
   Unquestioned
   Moral Loss-Leaders (from Pro-”Life” to Pro-War-Pharisees)
   pointy-elbowed partakers of upscale lifestyles, Needers of
   luxury, overt consumers of ‘Creature Comforts’…
   “First-Class Passengers” of Christian Faith:
   that’s right–eager butlers for Powers That Be–
   take an unflinching look
   at these shepherds of Our National Soul–
   you will not find a “Better Angel” among them.
   Lift Rock & ROLL…
   Oop$ee–
   the multi-millionaire borne-again goonset
   of Bushelzebubba Toadia
   “endorsing” assasinations
   & “blowin’ ‘em off the face of the Earth
   in the name of the LORD”
   [aka, “The Prince of Peace”…]
   shall we call it ’science’ or is it more an art
   telling the smell of $ulphur
   from a PResidential Fart?

   Those Whose Names–
   having so
   (Heartlessly, Thoughtlessly)
   Befriended & Served the Interests
   of the Powers that Be,
   will never appear on a ‘no-fly’ list here–
   may yet
   Gnash & Wail at Hell’s Coiled Twist:
   O YES–
   Famous names, Familiar names:
   Whitehouseholed names,
   Church-goey ‘Trusted’ names like
   Dobson,
   Falwell,
   Robertson
   Might well indeed appear on the
   Flight-to-HEAVEN’S
   No-Fly list.
   And as God is “No Respecter of Persons”
   will it matter–at all– that a “PRayerful”
   PResident
   PRomptly “returned” their “call”?
   The line is long indeed of the Last featuring themselves “First”
   in Love with Christ…
   Hard-Rightwing Left-Behindees?
   They will be Surprised, BIGtime. But we shouldn’t be.
   Doesn’t Scripture foretell the Thoughtlessly-Willing
   Deception of the “Very Elect”?
   They “Followed” as they were “Told”.
   Ignoring Bitter Truth for Sweet Lies–
   What could be simpler:
   than to “know them by their fruits”.
   Who Said That?
   Think he Meant it?
   Who has heart-felt eyes to see
   at least might glimpse
   the $cales of the Beast
   “Between the Lines”:
   The Lies, and the Father of Lies, stroking,
   coveting, stoking our deepest fears
   how the Serpent then $hines!
   how he Rises, then again “disappears”
   ~the Moments of Deception far more Telling
   and telling far more–than
   Moments of Truth
   ~Proclaiming himself “Decider”
   “Serving” the Prince of Peace
   …as President of WAR…

   An “American” who would be “King”…
   –What Whitehouse in “Greener $ervice” to the “Root of all Evil”
   than HIS?

   The bittersweet burden of forgiveness
   borne by horse & buggy
   their upbrought intentions manifest, in bereavement quivering
   but in mercy unshaken–
   “quaint” as those Geneva Conventions.
   THESE Christians have Kept the Faith: uncontaminated,
   manifestly unmistaken.
   Of course not in Horse & Buggy per se:
   but in, and by, Heart and Soul, Follow their Way.
   They were never tempted to take the Broad Self-Righteous Road
   of Political Redstatechristianity;

   I urge you
   Brother and Sister in Christ: long yet sudden in coming
   it is now High Time Indeed to Turn
   Forever
   from the Hard Right’s Misguiding Wrong,
   against their barbarous, fear-mongering Absolutes:
   Look to Those Untempted by Power & Pride;
   Who Never Let Their Faith Be Taken “Hostage”
   for the False Ransom of a False Ride…
   …Know them by their Fruits–
   Who So Quaint by Horse & Buggy
   Stay the Truer Course, Unshaken:
   Watch and Learn.
   Watch and Learn Indeed.

   -Rev. Hogtie Potus (Cowboy Noir) from “Pulpit Nonfiction for a Change…”
