Shame

The world watches as the United States of America reveals itself for what it is...a failed state. Yes, we call places like Haiti and Liberia failed states. But, we have arrived at that point ourselves through our own neglect. That's all you can call it - neglect. We've neglected our ports, highways, waterways, pipelines, etc. We have sold it all for a military that itself goes around creating more failed states. Just look at Iraq.

Our government is made up of well meaning employees that are led by gang of kleptocrats. The honorable government employees who went to work for the government to protect the commonwealth can't help it if their leaders prevent them from acting in the public interest. The kleptocrats keep taking and taking from the reservoir of wealth created by common people to enrich themselves. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al. are criminals of the first degree. They steal from the rest of us to conquer the world for an ideology that is corrupt. Lie to the people for their own good. That's the way they do it. Straussian cynicism. Welcome to the Neo-Con created world, where making congratulatory speeches to rich donors is more important than taking care of a national emergency.

After all, those folks in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans didn't donate money to the kleptocrats' misguided vision. No, those folks donated their own blood and breath. Those folks donated their sons and daughters to the Empire's military, while the Empire lets them drown in neglect - not even benign neglect like the late Sen. Moynihan talked about. No, this kind of neglect isn't benign at all - it's virulent and malicious. These kleptocrats are disgraceful, they're shameful. And I'm ashamed of them, because they won't be ashamed of themselves.

God save us from them. Amen.

Failed Unitarian Church. . .

No, this kind of neglect isn't benign at all - it's virulent and malicious. These UUs are disgraceful, they're shameful. And I'm ashamed of them, because they won't be ashamed of themselves. . .

The following links go to publicly available news reports about a Canadian Unitarian "church" and it's intolerant and abusive fundamentalist atheist "humanist" minister. This now retired/resigned UU minister was not guilty of sexual misconduct but committed other serious clergy misconduct which represented a flagrant breach of the UUMA Code of Professional Practices and made a complete mockery of most UU principles. His anti-religious intolerance and related clergy misconduct was and still is tacitly condoned and even effectively endorsed by the Unitarian Church of Montreal, the Canadian Unitarian Council, the UUA under Presidents John Buehrens and William Sinkford and the Ministerial Fellowship Committee under Rev. Diane Miller and others. The Unitarian Church of Montreal is still paying the price for its negligent and effectively complicit non-response to my legitimate grievances.

Just run a Google search on the Unitarian Church of Montreal and Rev. Ray Drennan for more info.

A Google Groups search wouldn’t hurt either. Try “unitarian church”. . . Other search engines such as http://www.alltheweb.com may find some web pages that Google doesn’t index very well. . .

My very public "critique" of the Unitarian Church of Montreal and the greater UU religious community's condoning and effective endorsement of Rev. Ray Drennan's demeaning and abusive behavior, and of the subsequent injustices and abuses that resulted from the negligent and punitive (towards me that is. . .) responses of the Unitarian Church of Montreal continues.
