Is Your Candidate an Armageddonist?
January 1, 2012
Belief in the The Apocalypse of John
asserts peace is unattainable
until the “second coming” of Christ.
That until there is a worldwide conflagration;
until a Christ lead theocracy emerges –
peace is impossible.
How can an Armageddonist work for peace
without furthering
theocracy,
the self fulfilling
prophesy?

In the days of antennae
atop wooden consoles –
we pulled in whatever
was out there.
Much of it,
old war footage:
tanks in mud
men on stretchers
cannon flashing
Zeros falling
and Der Fuhrer
pounding his fist
in truculent German
to adoring masses.
I would wonder:
what is he saying?
why is he so pissed?
why would people like him?
(Just as a non anglophone might think
when first seeing and hearing a Limbaugh)

Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.
Yet today we are besmirched
for having those same
patriotic opinions.
