Post 153A: Neo-con cowboys riddin' the ol jezzum trail.
Christian conservatism, now what the hell does that mean, anymore? It seems to mean, now "we do what we want and we shroud it with the mantel of Jesus so nobody can question it."
About two weeks ago Jay Leno, on his late night show, kept saying "did you hear the rumors, Karl Rove has got a girlfriend." He said that three nights straight in his monologue. Don't you wonder why that came up in his monologue, three nights straight? White House pressure?
Karl Rove does have a girlfriend. His name is Jeff Gannon, or so I'm told.
They say Gannon was at the White House some thirty eight time, when there was no press conference being held and no reason for him to be there, in the middle of the night. In case you don't know, Jeff Gannon was a reporter for Talon News service. But before he was a reporter it's said he was a gay male prostitute. Karl Rove is said to be the person who got Gannon the press passes to the White House. Karl Rove is also the Republican wonder boy who dreamed up all the ways to try to make the Democrats look like a weak, sissified, femininish, whinning, homosexual-loving, pink parasoled bunch of wussies. When in actuality, and this is so cool, it's actually Karl Rove who's in the pink parasol brigade. Karl Rove, the brains of the Republican party. So it seem some of the Republicans are not what they pretend to be, lies by lying liars. Some are just rough-riddin' cowboys riddin' that ol' homosexual jezzum trail.
So Republicans, how does the image of Karl Rove with his penis buried ball deep in Jeff Gannon's anus, perhaps in the Oval Office itself where it was so holy holy holy that Reagan wouldn't even take off his coat, fit into your Christian conservatism, and your Christian coalition?
The White House has tried to sweep all this under the rug, which is what republicans and conservative Christians do to anything that doesn't go their way.
An example of this "amnesia" that Christians seem to have can be found in the first chapter of the book 'The Messianic Legacy'. I have read this book several years ago, and am now rereading for the purposes of research.
In 'The Messianic Legacy' it's pointed out that great strides have been made in biblical research in the past sixty years, but when presented to the public it makes an impression, sometimes akin to "shock-horror", like footprints on a beach, and is almost immediately washed away in the mind of the public as if the discoveries and new information never happened.
Those in seminary and the professional side of the church are taught these new discoveries and are taught different ideas on Christianity. They're familiarized with all manner of books on Christian ideas, from 'The Last Temptation of Christ - which was written way back in 1954, 'The Passover Plot' (1963), to 'The Messianic Legacy' (1986) and 'Bloodline of the Holy Grail' (1996), but none of this new information seem to be taught by church clergy to their laity.
"According to several participants, the prevailing ignorance of New Testament scholarship is in large part the fault of the churches themselves and of the ecclesiastical establishment. Anyone in the ministry, anyone training for the ministry, is, as a matter of course, confronted with the latest developments in biblical research. Any seminarian today will learn at least something of the Dead Sea Scrolls, of the Nag Hammadi Scrolls, of the history and evolution of New Testament studies, of the more controversial statements made by both theologians and historians. Yet this knowledge has not been passed on to the laity. In consequence, a gulf has opened between ecclesiastics and their congregations. Among themselves, ecclesiastics have become eminently sophisticated and erudite. They react to the latest discoveries with blase aplumb, remaining unruffled by theological controversy...Yet nothing of this sophistication has been transmitted to their flock. The flock receives virtually no historical background from the shepherd - who is believed to be the definitive authority in such matters. - 'The Messianic Legacy'
well, that's all for now. Remember, I am only on this page, www.voy.com/40560/, no where else on the net.
