A world gone crazy

Currently there is worldwide fanaticism aimed at changing the world as we know it. Islamic ISIS is devoted to cutting off heads, and many fundamental Christians are eagerly awaiting the apocalypse where they will be lifted out of this American quaqmire. 

The primary reason for this wackiness is no one can explain the economic chaos taking place worldwide. Everybody is in debt and nobody seems to be profiting from this debt. No one is in control, and when there is no one in control, who better to take charge than a religious fanatic. 

Blind faith has some advantages. Something radical is always tried to fix the problem. Why are Christians demanding the end of the world? Well, our national elections have a host of explanations. We are about to nominate the third Bush to a failed line of Bushes, simply because his name is recognizable. We are also about to nominate a mediocre politician who’s only accolade to notoriety is that her husband spent most of his time in the Lincoln bedroom. Already, her husband has gotten implicated in another scandal with a billionaire-deviant running parties. This man will be sitting in the White House for eight more years if we elect Hillary. Does anyone believe this “marshmallow” will be making presidential decisions, instead of her husband? 

So, most Americans have accepted the political “bone” tossed to them with trite types for leaders. Why shouldn’t I wish to be sucked up to heaven? Anyone who isn’t fanatic at this point in history is brain-dead. Neither Romney, nor McCain, nor another Bush is going “save” America. 

Our presidency is no longer made by “the people”; it’s a cruel joke foisted upon a lost generation. Before the American Revolution there was an outbreak of religious hysteria, as there was right before the Civil War, and World War II. Most people intuitively sense a global tidal wave, long before it hits, like animals that suddenly start climbing mountains to escape what their instincts tell them. In this case the tidal wave is out of control. —Mike Donohue, Kalispell
