Sufi Teachings
To learn to adopt the standard of God, and to cease to wish to make the world conform to one's own standard of good, is the chief lesson of religion. Sufi Teachings
About Me
- the wingnut says...
- During Bush's inaugural address, I had an epiphany. As I listened to him list all the money he intended to give to every program under the sun, it occurred to me that he was promising an awful lot of my money... I replayed the tape and added it up. It was clear he had no intent to do this as there wasn't that kind of money available... but it did placate each of the organizations as they were mentioned. The Neoconservative agenda was revealed- and I felt betrayed. I vowed to renew my duty as a citizen in a democracy and participate in the political process. I dedicated myself to understanding history and politics... but not the manufactured consent of mainstream, I dug deeper looking for independent media outlets and authors. I learned to connect the dots. Eventually I collected a series of movies that really helped to cut the chase. Now others can spend a fraction of the time building a fresh perspective. Who knows, maybe together we can spark true meaningful discourse.
When a military base is under enemy occupation, protocol is to display the flag overturned as a signal for help. Until the neoconservative extremists in the Bush Administration are vanquished we bear the symbol of our nation under siege.
