"I Miss Republicans Two"

I was writing a comment to Kung Fu Monkey's excellent "I Miss Republicans" but it just kept getting longer and longer... So instead a Modern Slave post grew out of the comment. Please read the above linked article. It's quite excellent.

Sometimes i truly wish jesus christ would have just gone and banged mary magdelene and saved us all this pain.

The idea that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife has apparently passed you by. Not that Scripture wasn't commissioned by King James ( think about why did he do that ? ) while the Catholics go by other sources as authoritative and use the Bible as a collection of resources to understand the cultural background of the narrative.
The idea of separation of church and state would make a good backgrounder as cultural fantasy, right up there with the Mormons, Moonies,Brotherhood or Hare Krishna. And Dominionism shows signs of being an engineered takeover of old line churches by a fake 'Evangelical' movement which is anything but Good News...unless perhaps as Good News Nazis* ( they* are both a British / American invention and likely a CIA mind control-fundraising operation in the tradition of Jonestown and MK Ultra)
I've been posting updates for a while from people who track such use of religion to affect politics and religion http://my.opera.com/oldephartte/blog/2013/04/15/talk-to-action-digest
Dr. John von Kampen in one of those interesting physicists who went from studying Christianity to adopting Islam. He posted some YouTube links to historical revisionism in the matter of the compilation of the Bible, an error of chronology fabricating a thousand years extra since the episode in Rome and a complete bollux of history. Remember monks kept the records and the king of England did a massive book burning in 1410.

Looking at the Kung Fu Monkey link I find it from 2004. While the posts can be timeless { I have a particular fondness for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_led_by_donkeys

"Lions led by donkeys" is a phrase popularly used to describe the British infantry of World War I and to condemn the generals who commanded them. Democratic Underground said Lions Led by Donkeys. ... A Blogger, Kung Fu Monkey, has written the most cogent description of the proper relationship between America and . } I don't think a 9 year old comment thread is "in".

Remember those serious-looking 1950's-1960's science guys in the movies -- Republican to a one.

They were the grown-ups. They were the realists. Sure they were a bummer, maaaaan, but on the way to La Revolution you need somebody to remember where you parked the car. I was never one (nor a Democrat, really, more an agnostic libertarian big on the social contract, but we don't have a party ...), but I genuinely liked them.

How did they become the party of fairy dust and make believe? How did they become the anti-science guys? The anti-fact guys? The anti-logic guys?

I'm not talking McCain, Hagel, Snowe, or Lugar, here, the cool hard-ass Republicans who still operate in the real world. I'm talking specifically about the guys running the party right now.

( That must be the lot who p.o.'d old John enough to run with Sarah Palin )

Public education has been repurposed from its Mission Statement - if it has one - rather drastically. If one is to accept that conspiracy theories are intel reports in a world of political intrigue, government secrecy, pressure groups and think tanks...then Charlotte Iserbyt has a hummer. She has made a number of YouTube videos outlining how American education has been 'dumbed down' and written a book as well of conditioning kids so as to frustrate their abilities, especially literacy. It would be alarming enough by itself were there not a seemingly unrelated organized introduction of a mind numbing chemical into the public water supply : fluoride. From other resources I believe the genesis for this controlled dysfunction lies with UNESCO as per Julian Huxley's influence in forming the agency.
