THE WAR PRESIDENT

By Sandi Magathan Droubay

It’s Armageddon time; Bush and his loyal Christian fundamentalists want you to

have a front row seat!!! (whether you want one or not). Oh my.

Religion and Politics do not make good bedfellows. They never have. Why is it that we can recognize the danger posed by fundamentalist extremists in other religions but not our home grown religious extremists; I’m talking about the problem with many Conservative Christians in our own country. Let’s take a look at the relationship between the Christian Right and our present administration. During the 2000 presidential campaign George Bush stated, “I feel that God wants me to run for President. I can’t explain it; … I know it won’t be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.” During one debate, Bush stated that: “Christ” was his favorite “philosopher.” He went on to inform the American public that Christ had “changed my heart…When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as Savior, it changes the heart and changes your life.” It also apparently gives one the ability to look into the hearts of others. As he would so often claim, he could look into the heart of a person and know that he is “a good man.” I recall he said this after he had his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, “I looked into his heart. He is a good man.” One can only wonder if he has looked into the hearts of Rove, the architect of the smear campaign against McCain during the 2000 campaign, or Dick Chaney, the Halliburton mogul; or Rice, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, the vulcans (vultures) of war? Perhaps it isn’t easy to see what isn’t there.

After September 11th Bush addressed the country and speaking in theological language, he referred to the “axis of evil,” stating that “Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war…and we know that God is not neutral between them.” He told the world that “you are either for us or against us.” The world is, according to Bush, black or white, good or evil, friend or foe; this is absolutist language, the language that conservatives, both religious and political, understand. They knew he was their man. Simple, straight-forward, not introspective; confident, judgmental, self assured and he never makes a mistake, as he recently assured the press. Nothing is ever relative, it is never gray. Just like in the old westerns, good guys wear the white hats and the bad guys wear the black hats. This he can really relate to as he likes to pretend on the weekends, at his ranch in Crawford Texas, that he is a cowboy. Ever notice how he swaggers when he’s dressed up in his cowboy gear, boots and all. Bang, bang, what a guy. Sure makes me feel safe, how about you?

In an article he wrote in March of 2003 for the Washington Post, Fritz Ritsch asked “When did the president become theologian in chief?” Well, remember Fritz, he was “appointed” President by the Supreme Court and apparently “anointed” by God. Or so he believes, and so do many fundamentalist Christians. According to Ritsch, Bush also used the words from a hymn, “There’s Power in the Blood” in his State of the Union speech. He (Bush) referred to the “power, wonder-working power, of the goodness and idealism and faith of the American people”. The original words to this hymn, according to Ritsch, refer to the “wonder-working power” of “the precious blood of the lamb”, the lamb referring to Jesus Christ. Fundamentalist Christians would have understood exactly what Bush was referring to, as he was talking to them. He knew who his base was and he was talking their language. It was our job, as Americans, to fight evil, and he, being able to look into the hearts of others, knew who the evil ones were and it was his duty to lead us in that fight. So, for the next several months we heard; 9/11 and Sadaam; 9/11 and Iraq; 9/11 and Hussein and so on and so forth. Iraq being, of course, one of the three “axes of evil.” It was al Quaeda that was responsible for the horror of September 11th, most of the terrorists on those planes were citizens of Saudi Arabia! We are still in Iraq, Osama bin Laden is still running around in the mountains of Afghanistan attached to a kidney dialysis machine and we can’t find him and Hussein is dead. Are we more safe?

Many Christians, especially the Fundamentalist branch, see this war, not as a war against terrorists, they see it as a war against the infidels, good against evil; Christians against Muslims, whose God is Allah, a “different” God. For Conservative Christians this is a religious war.

The conflict in Iraq isn’t the only conflict that has grabbed the attention of Religious Conservatives, as they are also very interested in the on-going conflict between the Palestinians and Jews in Israel. Why is that? Well, Fundamentalist Christians see biblical prophesy being played out in this part of the world. This conflict fits in with their doomsday philosophy; Armageddon, the end of the world. They subscribe to a world view, or philosophy known as premillennialism. First, let me make it clear that not all Conservative Christians are Fundamentalists, however, most, if not all Fundamentalists consider themselves to be Conservative Christians. This particular philosophy is usually associated with the Fundamentalist branch of Christianity.

Premillennialism refers to the apocalyptic vision many Christians hold of the Last Days, the final war between God and Satan which will end our world as we know it. It is known as the battle of Armageddon. Premillennialism was a theory put forward by a gentleman named John Nelson Darby (1800-1982). Darby believed the bible to be literally true, the inerrant word of God. According to Darby, historic time in the bible can be divided up into what he refers to as “dispensations.” During each of these dispensations, of which there are seven, humans have been given laws set forth by God under which they are to lead their lives, and in each instance they have failed. Because of their pre-disposition towards wicked behavior, God has been forced to punish his creatures in some way. The Fall; the Flood and the crucifixion of Christ are all seen as “dispensations”. We are now in the sixth dispensation which is considered the ‘penultimate” dispensation.

According to this worldview, the Antichrist (the False Redeemer) will return before the end as predicted by St .Paul in II Thessalonians 2: 3-8. This Antichrist will deceive the world, he will be quite charismatic and many will be fooled by him. To be even more devious he may appear as a “peacemaker.” So, most Fundamentalists who subscribe to this theology are highly suspect of anyone who preaches peace. War is inevitable and must come to pass before Christ will appear. Here is where it gets tricky, although this trickster, the Antichrist, will make noises about being a peacemaker, he will eventually wage war and Christians will find themselves being persecuted. Notice how often they claim they are being persecuted in our country right now. No matter how hard they try to shove their beliefs down our throats we resist, therefore they are being persecuted, hence the prophesy is correct. .

Christ will come to the rescue and a great battle will ensue between Christ and Satan on the plain of Armageddon outside of Jerusalem; at this time the seventh dispensation will begin. I kid you not, there are Christians buying up real estate near Armageddon so they will have a front row seat for the big day. Here’s the good part, the faithful, those who have been saved in Christ, or “born again,” will be taken up into heaven, referred to as the Rapture. The rest of us the unsaved Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Jews will be left to suffer through the rough times. Ever wonder why Christians are so obsessed with “saving” people. The more the merrier and it is for our own good after all. Tim LeHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have written a series of books referred to as the “Left Behind” series. These novels depict the Last Days and have been immensely popular, selling millions of copies. In this series the Rapture is graphically described, pilots of airplanes will suddenly be “raptured” up leaving the plane without a pilot (the co-pilot too, presumably) to crash and burn taking all the unsaved with it. Husbands will wake up to a bodiless nightgown, because their wife was one of the “saved,” perhaps the children will be gone too, except the teenagers of course. Cars will become driverless careening down the road killing other sinners and Buddhists or Jews, whatever. This is not a story to them this is literally what they believe. This belief informs their worldview and their political decisions.

The Jews have a special role to play in this End of Days drama. First it was necessary for them to inhabit the land of Israel again-- this would be a sign that the end days were upon us. In 1917 the British government issued the Balfour Declaration which pledged its support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The State of Israel was created in 1948 and the late Jerry Falwell declared this as a “sign” of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Other events such as the six-day war in 1967, the Gulf War in 1991 and the Sept.11 attacks have all fed the fires of their prophetic doomsday expectations. The most important sign, however, is the rebuilding of the Temple. The site for this new Temple is already occupied, unfortunately, by one of the holiest sites in Islam, the Temple Mount the location of the al-Aqsa Mosque; which means, well…you get the picture. Both Christians and Jews believe this re-building of the Temple must happen before the Messiah returns. The difference lies is the aftermath; in the Christian version, two thirds of the Jews will not be “saved” and will perish, the rest will “accept” Jesus as the Messiah or burn in hell with the rest of the “unsaved.” The security around this Mosque remains very tight as there are many fundamentalists, both Jewish and Christian who would like to help this prophecy come true in a timely manner. There is an interesting book of fiction written by Robert Stone called “The Damascus Gate.” The story takes place in Israel and examines the many competing interests, political, historical, and religious that have a stake in the future of this land. Here we have Jews, Christians and Muslims all claiming this speck of land as theirs. Many religious fanatics flock there every year creating a dangerous powder keg just waiting to go off. The city is full of crazies just dying for the end to come, there is even a name for this psychosis -- it’s called the “Jerusalem Syndrome.” It’s not a joke these people are serious, and capable of doing what they believe to be God’s will, even blowing up the Mosque to get things going. Stone’s book is a good read and informs the reader about the seriousness of this belief in the End Times.

Supporters of the Christian Coalition lobby the halls of Congress to make it clear that they see the conflict in the Middle East as a struggle between Jews and Muslims, and they expect Bush to see it that way also. In a Sixty Minutes interview Rev. Jerry Falwell stated that it is his belief that, “…the Bible Belt in America is Israel’s safety belt … there are 70 million of us, and if there’s one thing that brings us together quickly it’s whenever we begin to detect our government becoming a little anti-Israel.” He went on to say that there is nothing, “that would bring the wrath of the Christian public in this country down on the government like abandoning or opposing Israel in a critical matter” The Christian public is, according to Falwell, President Bush’s core constituency. He goes on to say that “I really believe…Ariel Sharon can trust George Bush to do the right thing all the time.” The right thing according to whom? Do we really want biblical literalists to be deciding foreign policy? War is what they want.

The Religious Right believes that God gave Israelites that land which historically belongs to them, every inch of it. What of the Palestinians who inhabit that land? They are, according to Conservative Christians, in the way and must be removed in order for this prophecy to be fulfilled, no matter what. They are Arabs and they worship the “wrong” God. They are doomed to burn in hell anyway, unless they convert. Jews are part of the story but it’s really only about the “saved” Christians in the end. Many Fundamentalists believe that when Prime Minister Rabin signed the Oslo Peace accords to trade land for peace it was going against the will of God and that was why he was assassinated. Beware the peace-maker. The late “warlord” Sharon, started this latest conflict by taking a stroll around the Temple Mount. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew how offensive it was to Muslims to desecrate their holy place in such a way. Sharon, the Jew, played the tough cowboy and our Christian Conservatives like the tough cowboy image, and they love the “bring ‘em on” style of our very own cowboy Bush and his vulcans of war. They even liked Tony Blair who became Bush’s lap dog and appeared to be possessed by a demon.. If it all goes to hell in the Middle East it will just prove that they were right all along. The “bleeding heart liberals” are nothing but a bunch of peaceniks standing in God’s way.

Yes, we hear that all the time, Ann Coulter proclaims that Liberals “hate America.” If we do not support the war in Iraq, political conservatives, claim we are “unpatriotic.” If we do not support Israel implicitly we are not Christians, nor do we support democracy. Black or white, never shades of gray. There are good guys and bad guys, it’s all so simple. No it isn’t. Peace and reconciliation are not easy, it is very difficult, but it is the high road we must take. It is time now for all people of faith to stand up for peace, join hands and speak as loudly as our war obsessed brethren do. People of “Reason” are actually the majority, we have just been too polite in the aftermath of 9/11; we did not want to cause division in this country, we wanted to be united and we were, with our own citizens and the rest of the world that mourned with us. Now the gulf that divides us is greater than it has been for generations, both in our own country and in the rest of the world. Our present administration appears to be out of control, as we so clearly saw during the torture and abuse scandal in Iraq. It is time to take our country back and it’s time for Christians who follow the prince of peace, not the war God, to take Jesus back and redefine the terms of what being a Christian is all about.

“The family of man is bound up in the sacred. We cannot allow it to die without strangling our blood ties to a deeper reality; that we all come from one place that we are on a journey toward a greater good, that our every act is being weighed from a cosmic perspective.” Deepak Chopra from “How to Know God.”

Sandi Magathan Droubay lives in Pensacola Florida with her family; known as one of the most conservative cities in the U.S and home to “Scarborough Country.” Since I’ve lived here we’ve had (1) school board member jailed, (4) out of (5) county commissioners brought up on criminal charges, several abortion clinic bombings, (2) abortion doctors killed, and (51) “stellar” members of the community arrested in a huge cocaine bust. The beaches, however, are beautiful.

Christians, Capitalism, and Corruption;
The Religious Right, Multinationals and the Bush/Cheney Administration are all in bed together, but who’s getting screwed…….

By Sandi Magathan Droubay

OpEdNews.Com

“ It is ironic that the United states of America, which claims to be a predominately Christian nation, adopts a governmental system that strongly promotes capitalism.”

The above quote is by Dr. Charles Mercieca, professor of History and Philosophy at Alabama A&M University. Dr.Mercieca goes on to state that Capitalism has been identified with consumerism which consists of a “successful business plot” that leads to rampant spending out of proportion to what one’s needs really are. We attempt to spend our way to happiness, but “things” don’t ever really satisfy and so we are encouraged through advertisements and the use of credit to buy more “things;” the ever elusive chase for happiness and security just goes on and on. Capitalism feeds on consumption, greed seems to be inherent in the system. Look at what many corporations have done in the last several years in the name of greed and power. If one looks at the words and actions of Jesus as presented in the Gospels, living and thinking this way is the complete antithesis of Christianity. According to Jesus the Christ, one’s happiness does not come from material things. So, how is it that a “Christian” nation has embraced the system of capitalism?

Moreover, according to George Soros, a billionaire and contributor to liberal causes, capitalism which is not constrained by government and morality leads to greed and avarice making some people very rich and most of the people very poor. Soros goes on the say that markets are inherently unstable and in a system of laissez-faire capitalism, goods and services are not distributed fairly.

We know that we can see it all around us and yet we behave as if it’s inevitable, that’s just the way it is. No, it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s up to us to change this way of thinking. after the tragedy of 9/11 Mayor Guliani encouraged New Yorkers to “go shopping, eat out, catch a Broadway Play.”

Yeah, we’ll show those terrorists, they can’t keep us from our favorite pastime, consuming. We heard more of the same from our President Select who also encouraged us to “take a trip, go to Disneyworld and, oh yeah, hug a loved one.” During the meltdown in California which eventually lead to a recall election; Schwartznegger, the actor turned Governor, told the people of California to “buy a car;” preferably a Hummer, just like his. This kind of leadership in times of crisis brings tears to my eyes; such courage, such moral leadership. No sacrifice, no heavy thinking about what got us into these situations in the first place, no looking within at what kind of nation we are or appear to be to others in the world; nothing that a new car or trip to Disneyworld can’t fix. To be an American means to consume and consume and consume….. feed the monster. The hungry beast that keeps us running on empty. Our productivity may be up, but at what cost, and who is benefiting; the average American? Not according to statistics.
Real median income has fallen by approximately $1,500 in the last two years. Personal indebtedness has increased by 14%, while personal bankruptcies are up 12%. Interestingly, business bankruptcies have dropped by over 15%. So, business seems to be fairly healthy; that’s good, especially if they are individually owned businesses. The wealthiest 20% of Americans earn more than 50% of the nation’s income; the poorest 20% of Americans earn only 3.5%. The pay of CEOs increased by 535% during the 90’s, while the middle class has struggled to keep ahead of inflation, usually one paycheck away from disaster. A 535% increase, can you believe that? Productivity is up; CEOs are making out like bandits and hiding their profits in shell companies overseas so as to avoid paying taxes.

The average person is working longer hours than their counterparts in other industrialized nations, with less time off and paying more in payroll taxes than ever before. What kind of a Christian nation is this? WWJD, what would Jesus do? Would he be on the side of corrupt corporations and politicians or would he be for the average guy that is getting screwed by both. Hmmmm, I wonder.

We are a nation of mega-cities, strip malls, franchises and chain stores. Businesses like Wal Mart and McDonald’s are some of our nation’s largest employers. As of 2001 McDonald’s owned approximately 28,000 restaurants worldwide; they open about 2000 restaurants each year so as of 2004 the figure is more like 32,000 restaurants. Although overseas many McDonald’s are closing. Here is an interesting fact; McDonald’s is the largest owner of retail property in the world!!! As a matter of fact the majority of its profits are not from its product, food, but from the rent it collects. McDonald’s spends more money on advertising and marketing than any other brand and is the nation’s largest distributor of toys. Read -- Fast Food Nation by Erich Schlosser-- and you will never want to eat at a fast food place again, ever.

You will consider it a patriotic duty to pass them by. According to Ray Kroc the founder of McDonald’s “we cannot trust some people who are nonconformists…We will make conformists out of them in a hurry…The organization cannot trust the individual….” Beware the individual that thinks for him or herself, very dangerous. Franchises or chain stores do not require creativity, you merely buy into them, it only requires access to capital. They, franchises and chains, are a threat to small businesses which are usually the dream of an individual; their business represents their personal vision which is unique and special. Diversity is grand. Diversity is interesting. Franchises and chains homogenize the landscape and obliterate regional differences. How boring. It’s bad enough that this happens in our own country but fully criminal when they export this cheesiness of American culture to other parts of the world.

Jose Bove, a cheese maker from France, had an answer to our Americanized brand of eating that we have tried, with some success (unfortunately), to export to the rest of the world. In 1999, Jose staged a protest in France with a little help from his friends. It was a great media event with cameras rolling. He and his friends, other farmers, dismantled a McDonald’s that was under construction and picked it up piece by piece and loaded the whole nine yards onto several farm vehicles and deposited what was left of our favorite franchise on the lawn of the government offices in the town of Millau. I love this guy. Local ladies handed out Roquefort snacks to the gathered crowd. For this he was sentenced to three months in jail. Since he had some time to kill he wrote a book called The World is not for Sale. Bove has traveled all over the world rallying local farmers against globalization.

According to Schlosser, “a person can now go from the cradle to grave without spending a nickel at an independently-owned business.” Yes, that’s true. It’s safe, you always know exactly what you are going to get. For some that may be comforting. What do these cookie cutter businesses bring to the table? Well, besides a lack of creativity and unbearable sameness, they bring low paying jobs, an unskilled workforce of citizens who also are probably not receiving any benefits. These are the kind of jobs that the Republicans are now touting as proof that the economy is growing.

Service jobs represent the fastest growing sector of our economy, YAY ! Lots of low paying jobs; just what this country needs to replace all the other jobs we are losing overseas. Many of the jobs we are losing overseas are high paying technical jobs.

Lou Dobbs has become one of my personal heroes. He proudly stands in defense of the average working man and woman in this country. He has taken on Wall Street and their minions with gusto and courage. If John Kerry should win the election he would be wise to consider appointing Dobbs as his economic advisor. He has kept a running count of businesses that have shipped jobs overseas, I believe the count is up to 800 by now. He has a list of them on his web site. Some of these less than patriotic businesses include: Intel, ITT, Intuit, Jacuzzi, John Deere, Anheuser-Busch, Avaya, AOL,PepsiCo, Priceline.com and Apple. It is our patriotic duty to avoid doing business with these people at all costs.

Lou Dobbs also has put a personal face on those millions of workers who are struggling to make it and not able to participate in the American dream any longer. Folks like Katrina Gill, a certified nursing aid who works in a long-term care facility taking care of our elders who, like the former President Regan, suffer from Alzheimer’s. Many of us may face that dilemma someday and need people like her to care for our loved ones. We should thank her and appreciate her service. On an average night she cares for 28 patients and makes $9.32 an hour, making her salary less than 14,000 a year. Since she has no health-care benefits she and her husband, a garage mechanic, pay $640 monthly out of pocket for health care. They are working people who pay taxes and can barely survive let alone thrive. She doesn’t feel appreciated, let alone thanked.

Back in the early 80’s a good friend of mine worked as an EMT in Colorado. She made just over $7.00 per hour; she would be the first person on the scene of an accident and would begin life-saving procedures while transporting the injured to the hospital. Imagine how important she was to that injured person at that moment, she was their life line, giving aid and comfort until they were received at the emergency room. Even CEOs have heart attacks and get into accidents; she would be there for them. And yet in the market place her abilities were judged to be worth a little over $7.00. Meanwhile the overfed and overpaid CEO whose life she was saving was worth millions of dollars, owned several houses, six cars, a yacht etc.etc. I always wondered about that. Surely her skills were worth more than that. She drove around in a beat up chevy and lived in a trailer, she and her husband, who was also an EMT, could barely make it from paycheck to paycheck. She saved lives.

Joseph Schiraldi of New York, is a guard at the Empire State Building. He works long hours X-raying packages, checking IDs and patrolling the perimeter.These days that is a dangerous job, the Empire State building would be a good target for terrorism. He makes $7.50 per hour. Try living in New York on that salary. Schiraldi has no pension, no health care, and no paid sick days.

According to BusinessWeek online (May 31, 2004) there are more than 28 million people, about a quarter of the workforce that earn less than $9.04 an hour, or approximately $11,000 per year, which is below the federal poverty line for a family of four. Do the math; CEOs make 535 times that, and this in a Christian nation. Where are the Religious Right on this issue, shouldn’t they be raising a fuss about this, isn’t this immoral? Oh, I forgot they are only interested in sexual morality. Screwing the public through corporate greed is ok.

While it was enjoyable to see Ken Lay do the perp walk on TV today I have my doubts that much of anything will happen. You see, he got away with millions of dollars selling his stock in Enron at the same time he was encouraging his employees to hold onto theirs until it was worthless. Many of these employees lost all of their retirement savings after years of being loyal employees. Mr. Lay will have a regular “dream team” of lawyers, because he can afford them, and will probably walk with but a slap on the hand. What he should really have to do is sell all of his assets and pay at least some of what his employees lost through investing in Enron back to them, personally.

Last Sunday Mr. Lay was videotaped leaving his church: I wonder if he attends all the time or was it just this Sunday because he knew the indictments had come in? Well, bless his heart, as they say here in the south. He’s back on the streets after posting bond while pot smokers are languishing in prison for ten years. Is there something wrong here?

Anyone who has seen Farenheit 9/11 knows the depth and breadth of corruption in our country under this administration; an administration that the Religious Right supports. This means that it’s up to the Religious Left and secular humanists to take back our country and send this administration packing. Even then our work will have only begun, it will take years to work on our present system of governance and create a system that is answerable to all Americans, not just those who have money. We are going to have to wean our elected officials from the corporate tit. It won’t be easy, they’ve become addicted. We’ll have to be tough.

Oh, by the way, Fu** you Cheney !!

STARDUST SERENADE #314

Infinite love is spreading it’s wings

As the Stardust Memories pour down

Upon the billions of souls who

Unknowingly struggle through their

Ho-hum existence…Seeing the pool

Of blood beneath the bleeding statue,

Gives me pause and makes me hesitate

As I ready myself to jump headfirst

Into the Sea of Forgetfulness…I let

My own Stardust memories comfort me

And as the Stardust falls all around me

I listen intently to the sound of a tear drop

As it falls from the eyes of God as He

Weeps…

Infinite love spreads His wings and

Continues to weep over the forgotten

Melodies of the fallen angels…And the

Karmic wheel will continue to spin it’s

Inevitable conclusions as mankind

Will persist upon the slow road back home

Bringing with him all the suffering & pain

Of being alive…And the most important
