Conservative Republican Evangelical Christians seem emotionally deficient; many, if not most in the present environment, may be classical neurotics

suffering the simple maladies of low self-esteem and many a sufficient level of delusional self-importance to be classified as malevolent narcissists.

One of the more pathetic creatures, nurtured on Nielsen ratings and drunk on his own self-aggrandizement is Michael Savage. It is not just the delusions

of importance and grandeur that he suffers that are so debilitating, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly suffer under the very same neurosis, but his

ground in cowardice and raw fear every waking moment. These media brown-shirts have been seen before. And it is the Republican Christian

Evangelicals who believe anything, any stupid slogan, any obvious lie that spews from the mouths of these self-Righteous frauds that is destroying

the culture.

The very fact that today’s liberals (like Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thomas Paine of our past) scare these men to death is sad but

not entirely unpredictable; we have seen all this before. During the Weimar years in Germany this same delusional self-importance, driven by fear and

cowardice, impaled two generations of Lutherans and Calvinists to the four-sided spinning cross of the Swastika. Similarly, today’s Republican

Christian Evangelicals are choosing the same path of intolerance, racism, bigotry, and hate for anything different from themselves; the hatred for the

“other.” Rejecting the teachings of their own Master, Jesus Christ, they now scowl and frown, posture and strut like tough-guys, and put silly yellow

ribbons on the back of their SUVs, all in an effort to hold back their gnawing fear and cowardice that surfaces each time they awaken to another day.

That each and every Republican flag-waving Christian male 18 to 39 could enlist in the Army at will says it all. Others which may be older could

enlist in the numerous corporate security firms, like Blackwater, at virtually any age. Still others whose background as military veterans with sufficient

past service, they too could join the good fight in Iraq, Afghanistan, the upcoming missions in Syria, Iran, Beirut (my favorite) and maybe North

Korea. But no, they do not join, they want someone else to do the fighting, the dying, the killing in their name. They would much rather see the

33,000 (of the original 60,000) “non-citizens” in the United States military do the fighting and the dying. Including the thousands of Mexicans,

Latinos, blacks from foreign lands and Eastern Europeans. These men and women from foreign lands should die for your faith, your cause, your

Leader? It’s your war that you support, but with your mouth, your ribbons and your ignorance of what the war is even about.

These Republican Christian Evangelicals could fight for their flag, their faith, their party and their Leader, just as the millions of stalwart Germans,

Austrians and Burghers did circa 1933-1945. Now here’s an idea: America should register every one of these white male Republican Christian Evangelical

war supporters, poll them and if they vote to support the wars they should be registered for the military draft and forced to serve their Leader

in Iraq. Everyone not in support should be absolved of military duty. The call-to-arms? Support the war? Enlist Now!

Indeed, it is only right that they do. It is “their obligation” to join, to enlist now before it is too late and even one more American dies for “your

cause,” another one dies for “your Leader,” or another woman dies in Iraq in “your manly place.” For every Republican Christian’s yellow ribbon

vulgarly displayed for all to see, for every Christian who “supports the troops” by praying in public in full view of all so as to be seen, for every

Republican Christian supporter of these wars who fails to heed his personal call from God, flag and der Leader and fails to enlist, ... someone, ...

some “other,” ... must die in “your” place, die for “your” God, die for “your” flag, die for “your” Leader. And the Master held no truck with cowards.

What is the one unforgivable Christian sin? You’ll have to find that out on your own; maybe your war supporting Pastor can recall it?

Support the war? Enlist. Support the troops, as I do? Bring them home now and Impeach that little white bully-boy cheerleader; that prevaricator

who’s seized the White House in his malignant grip!

Hulet, If your credentials ring true--and they sure as hell don't--I don't want someone like you "advising" anyone in our government about anything.

If you can't figure out war works, and especially the necessity for war against jerkoffs like Saddam, you haven't learned jack squat as a soldier, or a warrior in general.

As for your recruitment babble, demanding anyone that supports the troops should join them is as ludicrous as asking everyone who opposes burning buildings to become firefighters.

The left remains as it has the past 2 decades: out of gas, out of Vaseline and repeating itself.
