This weekend we celebrate the Fourth of July. A holiday that commemorates our proud history, founded on freedom, paid for with the honorable blood of patriots throughout our time. From the Revolution through the Civil War Americans always stood up for what was right, through protecting the individual liberties of all. In the 20th century, Americans rose to the challenges of oppression facing the world on more than one occasion. Respect was earned and deserved. Every time we faced a crossroads, we answered the challenge and took the right path regardless of the difficulty.Notice that in Anthony's World, nothing after the Civil War was worth fighting for...and the fighting that did take place wasn't about standing for what was right. I'm especially proud of the respect we earned and deserved during the Carter administration...
The 21st century does not reflect so kindly upon this heritage. It has been spoiled by people who wrap themselves in the flag but only represent greed. That tragic fact that blood has to be spilled to feed this greed is not relevant to them. They claim the mantle of Christianity, but do not represent the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. They come under a banner that reads, “Culture of Life” while embracing the politics of death. We walk around every day trying to be politically correct. You don’t say the president lied; you say his statements were not borne out to be factually accurate. You don’t say that the president lied to go to war; you say the intelligence was poor. Everyone dances around the truth, afraid to confront the fact that the enemy is thyself. The Word of God says:Okay, let's take these one at a time. These are straw man arguments because he fails to put names to his accusations, but I think we all know who he's talking about...Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!
I am PROUD to be an American. I am proud of our flag, our nation and all that we represent. If you don't, that's your problem. In Anthony's World, you aren't allowed to love your country and its symbols. Sounds rather fascist if you ask me...
The bit about greed is code for NO WAR FOR OIL! HALLIBURTON! - the same old crap that isn't resonating with anybody that has a brain. If thi war was about OIL!, we wouldn't be paying over $2 a gallon, you idiot.
The Christianity kick is high-larious. Apparently, in Anthony's World, the Prince of Peace would let Saddam Hussein continue his murderous regime of rape, torture and oppression. The "Culture of Life" embraces the politics of death...that's a good one Anthony...can you pass the bong, that's gotta be some good stuff, man! Anybody want to place bets on whether or not abortion is favored in Anthony's World?
BUSH LIED! This one has been covered so many times on this blog, I'm just going to recommend that Anthony read everyday...that's all I ask. The very definition of a lie requires deliberate intent. That's not the case here, but in Anthony's World, if you're a Republican, you are a liar no matter what Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore or the rest of the prominent Democrats have had to say over the years about Saddams WMD programs. Never mind all that Anthony, because in your World, none of that EVER HAPPENED...
I love the Bible quote wherein Isaiah warns of not judging people...which is EXACTLY what Anthony is doing in this piece. Having a little trouble looking in the mirror in Anthony's World? Having a little difficulty with The Truth in Anthony's World? Get over yourself...
It is time to call evil, evil. After sleeping through a corporate-media-induced coma for five years, it appears that America is starting to awaken. Appalled at what they are seeing and hearing, they are starting to recognize what has happened to their country, their ideals, their children. The faux patriotism is being exposed for what it is, just a smokescreen. Every time we get close to the truth, they try to rally us all around the flag and tell us stories about our glorious past and how today is merely carrying on that grand legacy. Nonsense.In Anthony's World, we are all slaves to The Corporation. And that we are all Pawns in some grand game of Chess wherein nameless powerful people manuever us all over the board and we have absolutely no free will whatsoever. Nonsense? Yeah, that's what I call this drivel, Anthony...
This past week they trotted out their figurehead to rally the troops. Not the actual soldiers, but the citizenry. The troops they already have. The citizens though, they are starting to lose. So, there was Bush with a chance to set things right, admit the errors of the past, and clear a path of peace to the future. Instead, he hunkered down, looked us in the eye, and continued to lie.Figurehead? I guess that election didn't mean anything. The American people didn't choose their leader. Oh, that's right, in Anthony's World, DIEBOLD! HALLIBURTON! rigged the election. Still having trouble with the mirror, Anthony? Maybe you should have Anthony's World Maintenance come take a look at that... Truth is not something you are familiar with, dude...
We heard constant references to 911. Bush at his most loathsome, using our collective fears against us. This was a speech about the Iraq War, Bush’s War. It has already been proven that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 911. The truth means nothing to George W. Bush though, not when there is more death to dispense for profit. Every time the speech started grinding, Bush dragged up the specter of 911. When that did not work, he played to our patriotism. He offered nothing new; dressing up old promises undelivered and marketing them as “progress”. He spoke in magnificent terms about sacrifice, a word he knows nothing about and dishonors with his utterance. He spoke about the loss families suffer, without having a personal context from which to draw, rendering the words meaningless. George Bush knows nothing about suffering, except how to inflict it upon people. In the face of all of these obscenities, we are all at our turning point in history. In light of all of these atrocities, our redemption draws nigh. The truth is right there at the door of history. We just have to awaken and open the door, and let it in.You idiot! Did you even listen to the speech? I'll bet you didn't. The lesson of 9/11 is that we can't afford to let state sponsors of terrorism to continue to act unfettered. That whole, "you're either with us or against us" is about chosing sides on the issue of whether or not you support terrorism. So, I'm guessing that in Anthony's World, terrorism is okie-dokie? What sacrifice has Anthony made? I mean in the real world? I don't know...he doesn't tell us...but I suspect he's had a pretty decent life, even in America. But he sounds absolutely miserable.
He covers more BS black helicopter theories ranging from Ken Blackwell stole 2004 for Bush and Katherine Harris stole 2000 for Bush... And...wait for it...Jeff Gannon...BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY...(as Goldstein would put it)
If you want to further explore the fever swamp left, feel free to dive in...but make sure you are wearing your life preserver, because it gets pretty DEEP in there...
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, Anthony...
