Sadness

I get sad when I see the depths to which political discourse in this country has sunk. What the hell is this? It’s more shallow than the religious debates.

Speaking of which: the line “I like Dubya because he’s a Christian.” That’s a bullshit reason. For starters, everyone in the race but Lieberman is a Christian, and they’re all sincere religious people, I’m sure. If you really want to vote for someone who’s all about Christianity, well, Sharpton is a minister, right? Yeah, you’re just using that as a cover for what you think his Christianity stands for– a particularly smarmy, narrow-minded kind of religion that’s barely spiritual at all, that consecrates and condemns the sufferings of others while forgiving all personal mistakes as youthful indiscretions.

Grrrr. You’re more soulless than a spammer. You’re as unbalanced as a … well, as anyone else in this screwed-up work-obsessed nation.
