I don't exactly know what this post is supposed to be about. I do know that I have been trying to figure out how to rhyme "crossmaker" with "community organizer" from that song, "Jesus was a Crossmaker"...I think it's impossible, and it doesnt quite matter anyway. The real point is how sick this is, this world that we wake up to on 24/7 news, 24/7 journalists/bloggers/professors/etc...I don't know if it really matters who becomes president--because, really, for those of us who do believe in God, we know there is a larger plan. But, I always wonder, doesnt that larger plan have a lot to do with us--I mean, doesnt it matter what we do and how we do it to carry that fire of God's love--so, it does matter, essentially, each day, what idiotic debacle those shitheads get into...

I think both sides are afraid of a small-town mentality, and they are afraid because they have been influenced for so long by the word "fiscal" and not simply "conservative." I think the word "fiscal" has forced us to see the economic values of a conservative government and not the principles of conserving. Perhaps this is paradox. Because even these journalists (for instance, George F. Will--whom I respect very much), I suspect, don't always have that sense of small-town agrarian communities that have held strong and survived through all the various despotisms of Human History, from Egypt, Babylon, to Greece, Rome, Britain, and, possibly, the U.S. It is interesting to trace the history of America's beginning and its origins in small-town life--that rugged individualism which set out and cleared this country, settled it, civilized it through agriculture. And now to look at that small-world become bigger in seconds, that individualism become collectivism with handouts and loans by the federal government. Chesterton noted in The Everlasting Man how agrarian man was the real civilization, and once progress set it, all those civilizations ended with despots. It is clear, that by increasing the size of the government, we will eventually have what is called a despotism, in which the government, the bureaucrats in Washington are allowed to rule for the many. Are allowed? I should be so generous. No, more accurately, it follows that certain people will vote for some "messiah" some quick fix, and what we will get, in maybe four years, maybe fourteen, is a large organization controlling all the mortgages, all the banks, all the businesses, regulating everything down to what you are allowed to eat (saturated fats outlawed), what and where you can smoke, what words are appropriate, what to teach, what you are allowed to say in college classrooms without offending lifestyle choices, what books we read because of how they portray race, gender, society, politics, or how we believe the world was created, etc...wait, you say...we are already there?

But I decline to accept this as the end. That's the one thing the Olympics showed us. How only those with the freedom to choose, only those with the liberty to fight, can win 8 gold medals in a row. Will fight it out.

Like I said, I dont know where this is going.
