Solution

The difficulties posed to Americans these days by the Self-Righteous Conservatives in this nation is that they have been insisting the same thing for such a long time that some people believe that it is true and others are frustrated by the bald face lies.
A way in which this can be corrected is to look at what they are saying in a different light – from a different angle.
From this new perspective we will gain a new understanding.
The problems belong to them. The solutions belong to us.
If we look at the history of evangelical theorists and the enthusiastic politicians – like Billy Graham and George W. Bush – we see that it has its roots in circus tents – not the pages of the Bible.
When these people put the problem of abortion at the feet of Democrats or Republicans they are not really concerned about the issue. It’s just a prop. Like a hoop for you to jump through or a trapeze swing for you to swing on.
The real problems that make abortion necessary in some circumstances – like birth defects, rape, physical abuse, malnutrition, disease, drug abuse – are ignored. They are not part of the show.
The Self-Righteous Circus demands that the performers be completely self reliant – work without a net, for example – or with only the Bible to hold them up.
Let’s take a look at it from another view – George W. Bush blames liberals for abortion. He never admits that his grandfather helped to found Planned Parenthood and that his family believes that population growth in third world nations is the most potent danger to the United States – that’s not exciting for his audience.
He also avoids the problems of poverty – by giving tax breaks to the rich, for example.
He avoids the problem of drug abuse – sending the army to Iraq for example while the southern border is left unguarded.
Will you ever get him to admit these things?
No.
Just as you would not get a circus performer to admit his personal secrets or a magician to explain their magic.
It takes away the allure – and the paying customers want him to entertain – to produce – to bedazzle.
They are bored, and so, they have invented their own monsters – and because those monsters are their neighbors they can be entertained by them every day.
With Billy Graham and George W. Bush insisting that you must believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved – they will not listen to a call for pity, help, assistance, love, action, or real work. They will, in short, not behave like Americans and free men because they are convinced that they deserve what they have because God gave it to them and you need help because you are in league with the Devil.
And if that’s not enough – ladies and gentleman – direct your attention to the center ring where 150,000 men will risk their lives in defense of your freedom – they will walk through flames, leap gaping chasms and perform all those amazing feats of strength and wonder that those Supermen of Yesteryear performed on the beaches of France, in the Jungles of the Phillipines, the skies above England – the one, the only – Iraq War!
The problems belong to them. The solutions belong to us.
They are the problem. Americans are the solution.
