I Could Become A Hugging Saint

As I've told you, my main take-away from Tea Party gatherings was, they wanted to bring us "Heaven On Earth":

   It’s become apparent that the religious right is an electoral albatross for Republicans. The invention of the “Tea Party” reflected this desire to bamboozle the press into forgetting that the Republican Party is controlled by a bunch of right-wing Christians, by floating this narrative that this new insurgence of conservative energy was somehow more about economic conservatism than social conservatism.

That narrative has basically collapsed in the face of overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party’s main impact is encouraging Republican primary voters to back even more embarrassingly Bible-thumping candidates than usual, from Ted Cruz to Christine O’Donnell,...Turns out the “Tea Party” was the same old religious right people know and loathe.

You know, as this information keeps getting out, hugging people with the words "I loathe you" - it could really become a thing,…

I'd Hate To Say I'm Right All The Time (But I Am)

Ahh, it's all coming into focus now:

Big Journalism is finally beating the drum this blog has been hitting for years - Hillary Clinton is a NewAger - using a lot of the same photos, plus this:

"An overview of the book by Kengor’s Grove City colleague, Dr. Warren Throckmorton, notes that the book – with information from friends, colleagues and acquaintances – paints an accurate picture of Clinton’s version of faith.

And when you include talking to the dead with Oprah's pal, Jean Houston, and endorsements of books like Eat, Pray, Love, then there can be no doubt that "Clinton’s version of faith" is NewAge.

The only surprise, to me, is what isn't obvious to everybody.

Her husband, the scoundrel, has toured with Tony Robbins and quotes Ken "Suck My Dick" Wilber:



Didn't you know? Funny how the whole NewAge thing just slipps us by, huh?

So what's up with all the questions and debate over whether Barack Obama is a Christian or a Muslim, or the meaning of Christine O'Donnell's High School escapades? How about - after the president spent his birthday with Oprah instead of his wife - didn't anybody ask if the president was a NewAger? No? Weird.

A lot of the identifying marks, and remarks, are there.

Too damn many, if you ask me. But, of course, nobody did.

Much better to listen to this guy:

He knows everything.

Witchcraft: Tried It. Rejected It. Learned From It

I don't understand the controversy here - except for Bill Maher's open attempt to blackmail a Tea Party candidate,...
