ignoring treaties and losing faith...again...

so the american government...well, namely this administration...has been running it's mouth about international treaties and how apparently the united states is immune to living up to it's obligations under them. (and while they pull out of treaties on a whim because it suits them...god forbid someone try and pull out of their contract to be paid $30,000 a year for the opportunity to get beheaded overseas). and if it has anything to do with limiting military might and firepower...well then fuck the world. and now the north korean leadership is finally doing what we said it should do all along...becoming more american by telling the world "fuck you...we are going to build bigger and better weaponry and we are going to bring you to your knees through the threat of it being used...and if that doesn't work, we'll make it radioactive and send it in."

see, if we were really concerned about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction our foreign policy would just about do a 180. the american military is by far the strongest conventional force in the world...if there were to be another great power war at this time...it would take a hell of a coalition to seriously take us on...and a real coalition, you know, like we put together for the current effort...luxemburg and shit. and we run around the world telling people "our way or else...you are with us or against us...we will take your ass out if you threaten our energy supply, oops, i mean national security, oops, i mean violate human rights (even though those treaties don't apply to us), well, you know what we mean, just do as we say not as we do and you won't get "precision" bombed to the stone age." so what in god's name is a country on our hitlist supposed to do to protect itself? get a really big bomb and make american's think they can get it over here. it is apparently the only way we will listen...and even then, i wonder if these assheads in office would listen, or would rather give up one american city for the opportunity to "reshape" the region by obliterating all life on the penisula, korean or arabian.

so our idiotic, arrogant ways once again lead to more weapons capable of more damage being produced by our enemies. fan-fucking-tastic. when have the country's skin has melted off and the other half grows extra limbs we can atleast point to a wasteland overseas to show our vast superiority.

i had begun to reconsider my abandoning christianity and it's bigoted, sexist, homophobic, fucks of leaders thanks to my friends the episcopalians. apparently, somewhere along the line, some of them realized that just because your genitals don't hang doesn't mean you are fucking useless...and they selected a woman to lead them. i honestly did not believe i would see the day an american denomination would aknowledge that women are people too. and to make things even more beautiful, they picked a woman who realizes that just because your genitals hang and your lovers genitals hang doesn't mean you are an abomination. how fitting that it takes a woman to head up a church and point out that the bible is a good starting point, but it is 3000 fucking years old, a fact reflected in some of the archaic beliefs it is used to uphold...to point out that jesus actually hung out with hookers and gays, and spent his life teaching nonjudgmental love.

but alas...i was pulled back into reality this morning. a bunch of episcopalians want to ban gays from holding any serious post. i wonder if they realize that jesus would have trouble in just about any american denomination these days given that he was 30, not married and living with and professing love to a gaggle of men and a whore. but then the teachings of the bible aren't exactly in vogue in christianity these days.

seriously though, keep it up...i am sure the christian god is thrilled that you are an intolerant bigot, hate women, abuse his created earth, and call the death of his children "collateral damage." he'll probably even promote you at the pearly gates for promoting hatred, racism, gluttony, and abandoning your neighbor. really...he's your number one fan...asshole.

you can't catch love with a gun...
