NP - What's So Bad About Theocracy, Anyway?

[Joseph Tracy]

 Christian is a loaded word whose ownership should not be conceded to theocratic killers. What we live in is a classic agonistic state religion of imperial dominance with roots in an upperclass ant-colonial revolution, now shading into a weird blend of plutocracy and militarism which uses personal greed and Old Testament homophobia and glorifications of ethnic cleansing as  pressure valves and scape goats when popular revolution looms.  Even the edited Jesus of the fucked over New Testament  was  peaceful and anti-authoritarian.  It would be impossible to construct the Cristian Right from a popular consensus about what Jesus taught in the New Testament. Where would they fit the Sermon on the Mount or the constant sharing of food?  
Unfortunately fascism has become a loaded word, but the combination of militarism, corporate power and colonial power structures along with the changing face of the big enemy( Communism, Islam, Terror, Brownness, Blackness, Yellowness, Redness,  ), the claim to absolute imperial power of life and death all point to that word as being as accurate a description of the US as any I can think of.
