Got this Today The Bush-Cheney '04 national headquarters in Virginia has asked us to identify 1600 "Friendly Congregations" in Pennsylvania where voters friendly to President Bush might gather on a regular basis. In each of these friendly congregations, we would like to identify a volunteer coordinator who can help distribute general information to other supporters. Yes, turn your place of worship into an official Bush campaign meeting place? I'm sure they are dotting their I's and crossing their T's but this looks an awful lot like political organizing in a church? But who are we kidding when we try to deny that churches are not already part of the political system? Religion, like government is an institution whose purpose is to control the actions of the general public. But of course all holy heck would break lose if some Mosque tried this. A co-worker made a remark that there is an area near or around Detroit that is mostly Muslim and that they had succeeded in getting calls to prayer legalized. I don't know the veracity of that claim but he was using this as an example of how "they" could organize and pose a threat to society. I asked him how many Muslim Senators there were. NONE... Ditto for Atheists, Buddhists, Wiccans and Hindus. Boy, are we under threat? (sarcasm abounds here) ----- A point missed by many, which was pointed out to me and I got? Minorities don't get "special" priviledges. Its fair to have the NAACP for black people but not a NAAWP for white people because white people already have the power/majority. When society reflects your interests there is no need to have a special place set aside for your interests. Get it? |
