You poor, self-deluded fools

When the city of Berkeley California denied the Sea Scouts free berthing rights at the city-owned marina there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth on the Religious Right. When the California Supremes sided with Berkeley there was even more weeping and gnashing of teeth. But then it got appealed to the US Supremes and suddenly the Religious Right felt they would finally get the horrible injustice righted. After all, aren't Seven of nine Justices on the SCOTUS Republican picks with four of those coming from Reagan and Dubya alone?

Ah, but the religious right found themselves holding something akin to the title to the Brooklyn Bridge when the SCOTUS declined to hear the appeal, as this Freeper exchange illustrates:

To: SmithL

"The justices on Monday let stand a unanimous California Supreme Court ruling that the city of Berkeley may treat the Berkeley Sea Scouts differently from other nonprofits because the Scouts bar atheists and gays."

Have the President's two "conservative" appointees ruled conservatively on a single case yet? This sure looks like the same old liberal SCOTUS to me.

You poor, self-deluded fools. Can't you see that the GOP has only used you? Like Representative Foley dreamed of doing to underage Congressional Pages, they bent you over and rode you to electoral victory time after time. But each time once the deed was done they wiped themselves off and left you right where they'd found you... Oh sure, they've figured out which special catch phrases get your motor running. But can't you see that it's nothing more than foreplay for the upcoming election?

The thing is, those two Justices that Bush nominated to the bench are political idealogues not social idealogues. They don't give a flying fig about your desire to recreate a theocracy which never existed, much less your larger fantasy of waging world-wide crusades against all those godless heathens out there. They do want a new world order, but one in which a future Republican achieves world hegemony. Why do you think they've got such a hard-on for that whole "unitary executive" claptrap?

I know that the revelations by David Kuo of the barely contained contempt that Karl Rove et al have for you rightwing types has caused a lot of consternation and lame attempted denials by your political leaders. But wake up and smell the coffee, guys. Your leaders are in on the scam. Dobson clearly puts politics before principles. Ralph Reed sold you out to Jack Abramoff and mocked your gullibility in private emails to Abramoff when you blindly followed his directions. And look at Abramoff's other partners in crime. Tom DeLay sure couched his words to sound wonderfully Christian. But he too was more than willing to use you to further pad the foreign back accounts of his powerful clients, including at least one wealthy Chinese communist. Isn't that the same Chinese communist government that's persecuting those home churches all over China? But just look at how loyally you fools signed up every time DeLay wanted something done.

You've been used.

Worse, you were a willing partner to the deed.

You've got nobody to blame but yourselves if you keep dropping your knickers every time a Republican winks at you.
