Let’s Pretend!!!


by Mark Pogue




Just to ease the pain of most Americans let’s pretend that George W. Bush is a peacemaker. Most other countries fear him more than Ahmadinejad. Why is that? Are all of these opinions wrong? Can we proceed with impeachment hearings…just for fun?

Let’s pretend global warming is not happening or how humans have not attributed to this hot issue. Will it simply “go away” by ignoring facts presented by a couple thousand scientists?

Let’s pretend there are WMD in Iraq. If there are none to be found in 2002 or 2003, we can always pretend.

Does Ted Haggard pretend to be straight? I wonder what costume he wears when aroused? Some people pretend there is a cure for homosexuality. There’s a cure for that, but none for cancer or AIDS?

Let’s pretend that most countries are wrong when they do not join us in a devious and unnecessary invasion of Iraq. Maybe some “superpower” should invade the United States and liberate us of our multi-signing-of-statements dictator.

Let’s pretend that not all Islamists want to take over the world. You will notice that most extremists of any religion pledge to do so. Where are the voices of the moderates that love the human race and their god? For the Christians that proclaim that the US is a Christian nation…what happened to “love thy neighbor as thyself” or “thou shalt not kill”? I hardly doubt that Jesus Christ would approve of corporate greed, capital punishment, “walling off” our neighbors, and torture. Is their any shame anymore of being/using instruments of death rather than disciples of peace. Yet, many criticize Islamists for their death threats.
