This The Tone..Of Those Of You...The Christian Right



How does one justify....that I...should die...in War...ordered....to fight...that you might...later on deny...my survivors'...right...to 'healthcare' - life's sustaining light. 'Tis indeed, I find...an inconsistent state of mind, defined...this plight - a disingenuous group of folks, indeed so wrong - skulduggery prone....this the tone..of those of you...the Christian Right.

Why demand....that I should...offer up my life. such strife.....this price I pay, that you may live...indeed another day, to further persecute the likes of folks like me...I say...The sick, the lame....you turn....away. Your love of God, you claim...to pray. Why then your deep intensity, that hypocritical....propensity - a burning desire..and need and wont - to prey...by decree...upon the varied many other - unfortunate souls...like me?

Bigoted....indeed, thou art. At its beginning...was your start - Plymouth Rock, and ever since - Indian eradication...Slavery...hence. Suppose, I guess that's simply who you are. It's in your blood - with you...its come thus far. Where radiant evil...'tis Radical Right. The God you claim, perhaps lost sight. Satan, instead it seems...the savior of your hopes...and dreams. Healthcare's demise simply one of many...shitty deeds you've done - you've done...aplenty!

Nagging questions - this brings about, amongst them all....one...critical thought - Whatever happened to....that concept..WE? Conveniently morphed...now the selfish ME? Long forgotten...war-time chants of 'us.' 'I've got mine'...you say...and so it's thus - No longer needed...what once....was 'us.'

Again....I cry, how does one justify....that I...should die...in War...ordered....to fight...that you might...later on deny..my survivors'...right...to 'healthcare' - life's sustaining light. 'Tis indeed, I find...an inconsistent state of mind, defined...this plight - a disingenuous group of folks, indeed so wrong - skulduggery prone....this the tone..of those of you...the Christian Right.

Word! I can tell from the texture of these words that you have the real life credentials to back them up, so they're not just air, they're who you are, and where you stand, and that's why you can tell them who they are.
