The great thing about America is that we have individual freedom.

The downside to that individual freedom is that the elites of ignorance can rise to level of spokesperson for others ... equally proud of their ignorance.

Look - we've all seen this before.

The KKK bases their hatred on the Bible and Christianity.

The Pro-Life (pro-egg) people base their rationale for murdering Dr Tiller on the Bible and Christianity.

There are many Christians who base their hatred of Barack Obama under the guise that he's a Muslim - thereby re-connecting to the Crusades of the Middle-Ages.

There are Christians who base their hatred of fully 10% (an estimate) of our American population because they are homosexual - even though Christ NEVER mentioned this - and any other references in the Bible are oblique.

There are Christians who base their hatred of Catholics on the Bible and Christianity - they even had a TV evangelist ... John Haggee call Catholics w h o r e s.

Christians USED to use the Bible to validate their hatred for Jews ... but a recent change in Biblical interpretation have since linked them in a desire for preeminence in Israel.

Christians have even taken to promoting GREED and UNLIMITED WEALTH as the TRUE GOAL of The Bible and Christianity ... as in the "Health Wealth" movement ... most notable in the TV Evangelist, Joel Osteen - who I supposed needed some way to excuse the millions upon millions of dollars that these TV Evangelos acquire.

The fact is ... people have fears, biases, bigotries, paranoias, ... and they are very, very territorial.

Depending on how strong these dementias are in people - they will seek out sources to validate these predilections.

So - it does not surprise me in the least to learn of yet another link between Modern American Christianity ... Guns ... and Paranoia.

I for one have no problem with these people pursuing their hare-brained hobbys.

But in just the same way ... well adjusted, patriotic Americans can continue to be entertained by these wacky goof balls ... for being so easily diverted from what is true and righteous in America.

And of course, that would be ... Truth, Justice, Individual Enlightenment - all of which lead to Peaceful Progress for our nation ... and a richly led life.
