Monday, Monday

I continue to suffer from cognitive dissonance. Fewer and fewer things going on in the world around me make any sense. My (I guess it was liberal) Christian upbringing with focus upon other above self seems to have been just some sort of delusional fantasy that has nothing to do with the born-again zealotry being preached today. Jesus’ thoughts on an eye-for-an-eye mentality are all but forgotten as religions intensify their judgments upon one another. I know that there are still sane people in the world, but what has happened to our voice? How have we allowed ourselves to be silenced by the likes of Limbaugh, Cheney, and on and on and on. I watch and listen incredulously to Republican Minority leader John Boehner and ask myself when it was that dolts managed to take over our government. Oh, I am well aware that Barack Obama is the antithesis of everything I’ve said so far, and that is the sole thread of sanity that I find myself clinging to these days. I don’t know how else to say it: it’s time to stop being stupid.
