I’m an avowed political atheist: I don’t believe in political religions nor do I bow to political gods. And I will not participate in their ritual by voting for what I (and millions of other Americans) regard as a choice between the lesser of two evils.
I do, however, believe in God and believe He would judge it a sin if I cast my vote for "evil" – be it the lesser or the greater.

ReplyDeleteAgree 100% if I voted for Romney or Obama I would have the blood of innocents on my hands.
Gerald Celente is off-putting and extreme.
ReplyDeleteI believe in politics. While it may not be considered firm empiricism and measure up to a rigorously applied scientific methodology, I infer the existence of politics from what is absent from my paycheck every week. I look at the numbers, the total I earned and subtract from that the amount that is actually there, and thus am reassured that politics does indeed exist.
ReplyDeleteA little too faith based for someone who is a true political-atheist but it is good enough a proof for me.
Gerald Celente is a localist masquerading as an independent thinker who is free from any political ideology. Please don't validate him Mr. Wenzel.
ReplyDeletePlease expound upon this statement.
DeleteI just mean he always says that he doesn't adhere to a "political religion" and that he thinks for himself. But his rhetoric is identical to that of a localist. His solution to everything is "to buy local" and to quit buying "corporate crap". He blames our economic problems on Corporations and calls for us to "break the chains" by ceasing to purchase from chain stores. Essentially, he believes that if goods were produced locally and sold locally at Mom and Pop stores the majority of economic problems would somehow be solved. This is not an original line of thought or even a particularly rational one.
