Like it says in Deuteronomy 4:24, "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." ...and he's got the biggest military the world has ever seen... and he ain't afraid to use it, baby! And, he destroys our enemies, the terrorist infidels, with a vengeance and the people are proud. He creates saviors, every four years except with the Emperor God, the only thing that gets crucified is their words... oh, and a handful of dissenters over in His beloved Arabia.
Now, the priests are filthy rich and grow richer as they preach their propaganda to the peasants, the neo-slaves. They say:
"Look what God has made for you, reason, justice, freedom, production, achievement! Be proud and fight for your God and vote for your savior! ...Amen."
But, those dollars and that pride are hollow. Their value is an illusion. The barbarian hordes are growing strong. The great bread basket is losing ground, literally. (Russia is the largest grain producer in the world today and headed toward being that for oil and natural gas).
Anyway, the great America has been and is being hollowed out... as is Europe. The infidels will die and peasants will suffer, and the Emperor God just might shine his nuclear light all over the world. For the peasant-slaves, the American dream is just a dream and for the wealthy priests in the Church of Wall Street, it's "Business as Usual! "---Enjoy Don Henley as he sings two proverbs for our neoliberal, authoritarian, totalitarian America. I'm sure he would be happy to have me play them for you in this context.
As you continue reading elsewhere and (if you enjoyed it, please do) when Henley is finished, Edwin McCain has a ballad for all you folks who may be "Lost in America."
