THOSE DAMN PAGANS AT IT AGAIN

I think most know that back in May, Bay Buchanan (conservative talk show guest and pundit, and sister of former conservative Presidential aspirant Patrick Buchanan) had an interesting take on the Gulf Coast disasters of last year, you know the neo-nut take, tired of hearing about it.

I agree with Bay, I am also tired of hearing about it, I am sick of hearing how the federal government failed to appropriate the money needed to shore up the levee system, and how what money was appropriated to New Orleans in particular was wasted to such a large degree by the state of Louisiana and city of New Orleans, that the end result was not only the failure of the levees, but the simultaneous failure of the pumps that could have otherwise pumped the water out of the New Orleans flooded areas realitively quickly.

I am sick of hearing about how Bush and his Administration denied the scope of the disaster in public, while every day the mainstream media conveyed images of the horror and disasters.

I'm sick of hearing Republican apologists constantly defend the incompetence of the Bush Administration. I am sick of hearing so many people engage in blaming the victims for not getting out of the area, even though many of them had no place to go, and no way to leave if they had a place. I am sick of hearing them being accused of purposely staying behind for purposes of looting, or out of hopes of filing lawsuits. I am sick with the knowledge, that, in reality, most of them had no way out.

I'm sick of hearing of how Bush and other politicians have promised New Orleans will be rebuilt, yet the reality seems to be no money is being made available for this effort, I am sick of so much it is hard to keep track of all of it. But the thing I am most sick of, Bay Buchanan, is people like yourself.

People who go have a listening audience and say things such as "It's those pagan we need to watch out for", yes Bay said that today on Situation Room on CNN. the topic was about that ever so bias US Rep. Virgil Goode Jr., R-Va saying "The Muslim representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district, and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran."

Notice the age old trick of neo-nuts, one of their own spews racist BS and instead of the neo-nuts demanding Virgil Goode to apologize or denouncing what Virgil Goode said they instead try coyly to redirect. With Bay Buchanan's insult a geared towards all pagans with her stand offish comment, it shows how the neo-nuts really think. Neo-nuts do in fact believe in racism and allows it's use, when it serves their needs.

There are those of the Pagan faith that have died serving their country, yet they still are treated as jokes, as people that don't matter. Bay's remark was not anymore outrageous than Goodes' but I bet there will be no media coverage of Bay's insult to those of the pagan faith, there will be no group demanding accountability for Bay's words. The prejudice has the same destructive powers no matter how it is used.

Yet, I would wage that most would not see the revilement attitude presented in Bay's state "It's those pagans we need to watch out for". People will say Bay was joking and since she is a neo-nut it is ok for her to joke unlike Kerry.

Many will say (liberals and conservatives alike) that what Goode said was much worst than Bay's remark about pagans, I strongly disagree. What Goode said was an attack against Islam, a religion, faith, belief, what Bay said was an attack against Paganism, a religion, faith, belief. What Goode said portrays hate borne out of fear, what Bay said portrays hatred born from ignorance.

After thousands of years on this planet you would think that humans would grow the hell up and quit attacking others due to fears, when will people see that it the long run it really doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are or what color you skin is. Reality is, we are all the same, we all bled if cut, feel pain if hurt, experience love if lucky, and we all are capable of growing into mature adults. Unfortunate not so many care to grow into mature adults as one can see from the lowest to the highest of the land(s).

In today's time I find it even more important than ever to cry out against hate in any form. It seems that with 9-11 and Bush admin, the witch hunts and communists scare is back and in a big way. Now-a-days its ok to say you 'distrust' a person just because they are of the Islamic faith, hell some would even say it is understandable for one to say they hate. Since when has hate been productive, when did it become ok to replace blame instead of being held accountable? When did it become ok to preach hate and fear, oh wait now I remember when. It happened when Bush & his cronies came into power and people like Goode and Bay were proclaimed 'Great Americans'.

So now you know there is nothing to fear from people of the Islamic faith, Bay Buchanan told us it is 'Those pagans we need to watch out for'. So happy Bay cleared that all up for us, I guess that only leaves one unanswered question, when is the war against Pagans to start?

Now for some very (cough, cough) wise comments from well-known neo-nuts, and paltalkians thought they had the corner market on flip-flopping
RUMSFELD: It Would Be A Short War "Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that" "Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things." –Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on looting in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, adding "stuff happens," April 11, 2003 BUSH: days before the November elections, declared, "Absolutely, we're winning." Dec 19th "We're not winning, we're not losing," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. BUSH: "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties." —discussing the Iraq war with Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson, as quoted by Robertson. BUSH: "F**k Saddam, we're taking him out." –President Bush to three U.S. Senators in March 2002, a full year before the Iraq invasion DICK CHENEY: "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." June 20, 2005.

~~~~~~Yes, I'm always a Facetious Pain~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~Smile, it confuses people~~~~~~~

Also Goode refuses to apologize for his comments about Muslims.

America is Not Doomed

America will never be doomed if it has faith that shows us the love of respect, honor, truth, compassion, and equality that holds the hands of the people of the United Stated, where Conservatives, Liberals, and others are patriots to the Constitutional Freedom and Democracy of the Declaration of Independence, singing with our nation anthem, in the red, white, and blue spirit, where Free Speech of diversity is a birthright. We are not a nation of one religion but one of all religions that must unite in respect that must honor humanity in love over war, as prime ingredient of our own divine Liberty. We can never let our country become a Corporation, for our roots are in our people from the lower caste to the Billionaire who has one vote. We employ Washington in votes as stockholders of Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin proclamation that no form of royal cast will dictate Executive Privilege.

No, we are not doomed, we just need politicians, who walk our streets to feel its heart come alive, not fraternities parties that want to segregate us with a special ticket, so that they call get their five star meal ticket benefits. My ticket was born inside me, and with a divine gift of Free Speech that declares secrecy null and void. That Washington’s closets of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell must account to its people, not to power brokers of green-blooded secret agendas.

We must do our homework, before we commit our troops upon the Truth, not Creative Fiction. That is why it is President Bush’s turn to step up to the plate, for somehow he may the best solution to the insanity that the future may bear if we find no good solution. He avoided the Vietnam War, but this one will draft him to the frontlines for a solution. It is not about being Republican or Democrat, but an American thing that must have all on board for a peaceful solution to the Iraq bloodbath. So blame me if you must, then add the majority of this nation in one way or another. But it is one and one making two multiplied by each state uniting together as a nation than a nation dividing with labels of blame.

I ask all to remember our troops that will be celebrating the holidays away from home. For no matter what party you belong to, I think we can all agree on this one issue, our troops deserve the best wishes from us all. Take a moment to send a Christmas and/or Holiday card (Send an ecard to the troops) to those who shine, the fathers & mothers, sons & daughters, who cannot be home. Let them all know no matter your views on the war, we wish them all back home safe and sound. Let them know we have not, nor ever will forget them, that forever they will be in our hearts.

Merriest Christmas & Happiest Holidays to all


Any Soldier Inc is a great place to get addy of troops.

Another one is A Million Thanks, FYI it is religious based, for those that care about that silly stuff ;)

Operation Band Aid it's to show your support for our wounded soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC), Germany.

One more is Annie's "Write to the Troops" Page it has items such as "Thanks a Soldier a week" & "Send Christmas Mail to Our Troops" Page

Remember this is about SUPPORT, not just STUFF!

A LETTER,from you, your children, the kids at church or school, is THE BEST THING to send. A show of personal support is far better than spending a bunch of money that you don't have.

A soldier in Iraq can't see your ribbon,
Or the flag at your front door.
But a letter they hold in their hands,
To them means so much more.

Hope this is a help Voxy
