Wonder if Christian Evangelicals Enjoy Being Made GOP Fools?
A. Alexander, September 23rd, 2006
"There are two simple undeniable truths about today's America that most people haven't figured out. Government of, for, and by the people is dead. Instead it is government of, for, and by corporations. The other truth is that Republicans have used, and continue to use Evangelical Christian votes as the means of maintaining their government of, for, and by corporations. Look at the way Republicans run campaigns and govern. At no time do they address real issues confronting the average citizen.
Their campaigns only address knee-jerk emotional social issues like abortion and gay marriage. Republicans use these issues in a despicably cynical manner in order to con America's Evangelical Christians into voting for them, and then they govern solely for the benefit of corporations.
Recent elections have been all about Republicans manipulating the Evangelical Christian community. The GOP promises these poor misguided souls everything short of burning "sinners" at the stake and then delivers nothing. Republicans have claimed for decades now, that they want to ban abortion. Yet, the moment South Dakota bans the procedure, the RNC's chairman refuses to comment on the issue. And where is the usual Republican election-year anti-abortion platform in 2006? Nowhere to be found!
Then there are the famous Republican tax-cuts. Republicans have cut taxes, but who benefited from those cuts? Not their rank-and-file Evangelical Christian members. The wealthiest Americans and corporations were given the bulk of the tax-cuts. Republicans managed to find the time to pass legislation that cut taxes for big oil, to protect the credit industry, lighten the burden on mining corporations, and a laundry list of other actions directed at leading corporate interests...but they haven't had time to pass any legislation wanted by their Evangelical Christian base. Hmmm...wonder how that can be?
All the years Republicans have been in power, and all they've given to their Christian base are a few judges. Judges who've been sold as being sympathetic to the Evangelical cause, but in reality serve only corporate interests. The Supreme Court continues to rule against the interests of the Republican base, but it is always blamed on the other "liberal" judges. Interesting how that always happens, especially when the court is stacked now with Bush appointees. Those same judges, however, never fail to uphold corporate agendas. Hmmm...wonder how that can be?
This is government of, for, and by corporations. Evangelical votes are simply the means to Republican ends. When one thinks about the situation it is quite ironic. The Republicans have made personal whores out of millions of American Evangelical Christians. James Dobson, Tim Lahaye, Jerry Falwell, and their followers are all nothing more than Republican Party whores. They sell their souls for the pimp party's promise of forever unfulfilled promises. Wonder if the Evangelical Christians will ever figure it out, or maybe they simply enjoy getting screwed and made the fool?"
