America’s Collective Delusion Must Endure (Jason Miller)

[Tace]

Domestic Genocide of an Economic Nature

By Jason Miller -- World News Trust

“The beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” --Mary Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein

Accomplishing a logic-defying feat, the wealthiest nation in the world has “attained” the highest rate of homelessness amongst developed countries. 3.5 million human beings experience homelessness each year in the United States. Almost a million are homeless every night (1).

In the most heavily militarized nation in the history of the human race, 30 percent of its homeless men are military veterans (2). What happened to “support the troops”? Obviously once military personnel return home, the slogan changes to “good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Ready for some “shock and awe” on the home front? According to the National Mental Health Association, “on any given night, 1.2 million children are homeless” in the United States.

And what is one to make of a self-proclaimed Christian nation (overflowing with material resources) that allows such travesties of economic justice to persist?

How can a Christian nation ignore the compassionate teachings of Jesus?

1. Business As Usual,With The GOP{Greedy Ol' Perverts}In Charge

:grr: The GOP has become a fascist cult!
Unless they are deaf, dumb and blind, Christians need to come to grips with the fact that Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rice and Gang are lying to the world and that is not a mark of Christian virtue, nor is it a mark that the Bible tells us to seek, or to follow as Christians.

One does not have to look very far or dig very deep to find one lie after another that has come from Republicans. It is all an agenda; it is all about empowerment and greed and doing anything they wish, to anyone, and wrapping that all up as lies and spin to deceive us all. The GOP has become a cult of lust, power and greed, none of which are considered Christian virtues. http://oldamericancentury.org/index.htm http://www.newamericancentury.org/ NO! I Wouldn't Call What The Republicans Do Christian Values!
