And Now... A View From the Right

From that wacky yet lovable Jack Kinsella:

...When a Syrian student reads in the New York Times that the White House invaded Iraq to steal its oil, why should that student believe America's REAL objective is to bring democracy and freedom? To someone raised in a totalitarian society, invading to steal makes perfect sense. Invading in order to help does not. What's in it for America? So, having read in the New York Times that America is stealing Arab oil, why would he believe America when it denies it? By definition, a thief is also a liar. Especially since the New York Times came right out and told him the President was a liar who concocted an excuse to invade Iraq to steal oil in the first place! In the Bible's Big Picture scenario for the last days, there are four spheres of world power; Gog-Magog, the Kings of the East, the Kings of the South and the antichrist's revived Roman Empire. But there is no mention of a fifth, overarching superpower resembling the United States of America. Nobody can dogmatically say what happened to remove the US from the Big Picture -- it simply isn't there. One possible reason might be the Rapture of the Church. In this view, the Lord returns for His Church. The instantaneous disappearance of millions of Americans, together with most of the Bush Cabinet, the military leadership and at least part of the House and Senate would cripple America beyond recognition. Therefore, America is absent from Scripture because the Rapture made her inconsequential. Personally, this is my favorite explanation, but only because I prefer it, not because I have any Scriptural reason to believe it. Quoting once more from Senator Miller's speech: "Now, while young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrat's manic obsession to bring down our Commander in Chief." It is just as possible that America hands its future over to the liberals who bear the responsibility for its international reputation as a dishonest, thieving, immoral paper tiger that so much of world now believes deserves to be destroyed.

I'd love to be able to write colorful and entertaining crap like that. Unfortunately, I have a conscience.

UPDATE: You know, when you think about it, the part about "The instantaneous disappearance of millions of Americans, together with most of the Bush Cabinet, the military leadership and at least part of the House and Senate...", folks, I think we just solved our problem! Those who will instantly disappear are exactly those we wish WOULD disappear! Therefore, I say: THE RAPTURE? BRING IT ON!!!
