Neo's Home For Words

Did people not take/pay attention in US History? Is our education system that screwed up that we don't even know the basic facts behind our nation's set up?

If I read one more quote or hear one more person claim that America was built on Christian values then I'm going to buy a huge dildo and commence with the beatings.

Here's the deal:
When those folks across the pond took that long and dangerous journey to the New World it was for basically three things: Money (trade, natural resources, etc.) Debtors Prisons, and ESCAPE FROM RELIGIOUS PROSECUTION (like the Quakers, the Puritans, the Shakers, and the Jews.)

And those big wigs that were our founders... well contrary to popular belief McCain, I'm looking at you! they were not all Christian. They were a mix of CHRISTIAN, ATHEISTS, AGNOSTIC, DEISTS, & bloody FREEMASONS. And I'm pretty sure they remembered how messed up things were in the Old World because kings ruled through DIVINE RIGHT which resulted in centuries of bloodshed between the CROWN, the CHURCH, and the PEOPLE. Our Founding Fathers had already given them a big 'Screw You Guys!' when they declared independence, so why would they go and create another system that allowed religion and government to mix?

Hence why the Constitution and Bill of Rights are SECULAR.

This issue has been increasingly frustrating for me. I just wanted to get it off my chest and tell people to READ A BOOK every now and then. Cause 'The More You Know' is a good way to live, even if those commercials were cheesy as hell.

Yes, the majority of the nation is Christian or some denomination of it.  But, the fact still remains that we are a country that excepts REEDOM OF (ALL) RELIGION. And that means you can't go limiting a persons natural rights because the BIBLE says it's wrong.

So those six hours spent in line for early voting... totally worth it this election! To sum it all up, some guy from Georgetown had the perrrrrrrfect sign:

'Why wait? Evict Bush Now.'

WORD.

I didn't get to celebrate the Dems victory last night because I was glued to the TV (btw, John Stewart & Stephen Colbert together again. Be still my heart.) But I'm on my way out to my local watering hole for a PBR tallboy and too many Marlboros.

I don't envy the work Obama has to do in order to clean up the mess that is our country at the moment. So my drink goes to him.

On a less serious note but still just as serious b/c it's fucking Charlie Hunnam it's Wednesday!!! You know what that means? Sons of Anarchy (yes, I'm hooked and proud of it.) Can't wait to see my Gemma stick it to the man. But to tide me over until 10, I yanked this from peopleareshapes.

I'm done with this ramble. Here's to a better four years.
