God, Liberty, & Capitalists

Ron Paul is right to cite the source of our liberty being from the divine. The Declaration of Independence spells this out quite clearly. 

But one must ask then why corporations are granted the same inalienable rights as individual persons. Doesn't that make the Capitalist who created the corporations GOD?

Ann Coulter's Dangerous Judgement

So apparently Ann Coulter is on a book tour now. She's written a book, 'Demonic', about how liberals have an evil mob mentality, and act out as 'mobs' in many cases.


I think that Ann is more than simply mistaken. She's got it backwards. The actions of the Tea Party, and of her cohorts in the conservative press, Fox News in particular, is quite similar to that of a mob. Whether it's evil is up to God to decide. Here's why.


The thing is that what Coulter says about liberals is the antithesis of reality. It's actually true of her party, particularly in the last ten years. 

The liberal is actually, by nature, more capable of thinking as an individual, even within a crowd. The mentality of the right is often more driven by strong leaders and a pack mentality. 

And, for the religious side of her accusation, mainstream Christian theology teaches that the most effective tool of the demonic forces is for the devil or his minions to pose as "an angel of light". Evil posing as good. 

Conversely, the unforgivable sin noted in the Bible has often been identified as equating evil with the divine. The person who makes such a judgement opens themselves up to hell either way by my count..
