VHeadline.com commentarist Oscar Heck writes: Some US "Christian" fanatics are
on a warpath again ... as is so often the case in recent times (the last 2000
years!). Anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion, anti-women, anti-witch,
anti-Muslim, anti-Native (savages in those days!), anti-masturbation,
anti-this, anti-that (but pro-war! pro-burn-them-at-the-stake!) ... and now, of
course, anti-Chavez. These "God"-loving humans appear to "love" a god which has
rather twisted ideas about life, about the truth and about reality ... about
humanity and about humanism.

Their god evidently doesn't believe in the enhancement of the lives of others,
unless they are, of course, "Americans" or "American" wanabees ... or "American"
worshipers.

"In God We Trust" ... but does God trust them?

A recent Reuters article reads: "A conservative religious group protesting the
anti-U.S. criticisms of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is urging drivers to
steer clear of gasoline sold by CITGO Petroleum Corp., the organization's
chairman said on Wednesday. The American Family Association launched the boycott
of CITGO, the U.S. refining and marketing branch of Venezuela's national oil
company PDVSA, in an attempt to cut oil revenue flowing to the Venezuelan
government of Chavez, which has been a harsh critic of U.S. President Bush. 'It
doesn't make sense to purchase gasoline from a country that wants to bring down
the U.S. government,' AFA Chairman Donald Wildmon told Reuters in a telephone
interview from the organization's Tupelo, Mississippi, headquarters."

CITGO is a US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-run oil company (the biggest in
Latin America) and operates gas stations and refineries on US territory. CITGO
is also the company which, with the backing of Venezuela's president Hugo
Chavez, has been delivering fuel at discount prices to poorer communities within
the USA.

But who is Donald Wildmon and what is the AFA? And why would a
"God"-promoting person like Wildmon try to boycott the people who are helping
his poor people? (Does Wildmon have a stake in the profits made by US companies
who sell fuel at high prices to their poor?)

The AFA is a conservative "Christian" organization which boast 2,977,820
supporters and claims to have appeared on programs such as the 700 Club. What
is the 700 Club? It is another conservative "Christian" organization which is
headed by a criminal called Pat Robertson. Why do I call him a criminal?
Because last year (2005) he openly and publicly called for the US government to
assassinate Venezuela's democratically-elected president Hugo Chavez.

What does Pat Robertson have to do with Venezuela? Not much I suppose, except
for the fact that he wants Chavez assassinated and that he has also reportedly
met with Maria Corina Machado. Who is Maria Corina Machado? She is one of the
directors of Sumate, a fiercely anti-Chavez Venezuelan organization which is
financed by the US government through the National Endowment for Democracy
(NED). She is also from a very wealthy Venezuelan family and she has "important
connections." Not so long ago she had a private meeting with Bush at the White
House.

Isn't it weird that (as far as can be observed) Bush knows Machado and that
Machado knows Robertson and that Robertson knows Wildmon and that Wildmom, for
some bizarre reason, now believes that Chavez wants to "bring down the US
government?"

Isn't it weird that Wilmon's comments and boycott effort come at about the
same time when the US government is increasing its propaganda against Chavez
(prior to the presidential election of 2006)?

Where does Wildmon get his information from? From Bush? From Machado? From
Robertson? (Note that all these characters are very wealthy people!) When did
Chavez (or Venezuela) threaten to "bring down" the US government, and with what?
With oranges and bananas or mangoes? With barrels of oil launched from giant
catapults? For a man who is probably quite "intelligent," Wildmon appears to be
losing his sense of reason ... or, just maybe, Bush, Maria Corina Machado and
Pat Robertson have been secretly hypnotizing him? Better yet, Wildmon's "God"
has been sending him "special" messages through angelic drones (dressed in
white, of course) who incessantly repeat into his left ear, "Chavez must go,
Chavez must go, Chavez must go ..."

How can Venezuela, a country with less than one tenth the population of the USA
and with perhaps less than one-one-thousand of the military might which the USA
has, "bring down" the US government?

Does Wildmon believe that if Venezuelans (or Chavez) pray hard enough for the
demise of the US government, the US government will be be "brought down" by
"Godly" forces. That must be what he believes because I can see no other way by
which Venezuela would be able to "bring down" the US government.

My impression is that Wildmon believes that "bringing down the US
government" actually means "bringing down the American way." If this is the
case, then the "bringing down" of the "American way" does not need any
assistance from Venezuela or from any other country. As most people already
know, the "American way" is on the road to self-destruction, rotting from the
inside out.

Wildmon's 2,977,820 supporters should seriously question Wildmon's intentions.
He can't be that stupid. If he isn't that stupid, then he must be making
anti-Venezuelan remarks intentionally and for reasons which he will probably
never reveal. (Using the "reason" that Venezuela wants to "bring down" the US
government is plainly and very obviously ridiculous.)

What kind of god would endorse Wildmon's anti-Chavez rhetoric and sabotage
(boycott) of CITGO when Chavez is the only world leader who is continuously and
effectively working toward enhancing the lives of the majority poor by providing
free education, free health care, discount food prices, discount fuel prices and
much more. Chavez is doing what Christ did in his time.

If Wildmon and his followers are true Christians, they would support Chavez and
promote his works rather than talk or act against him like warmongering
Bush-adoring zombies repeating, over and over:

"Our daddy who art in the White House,
Hallowed by thy name
Thy empire come
Thy will be done on earth
As it is in Washington
Give us today our daily weapons
And forgive us of our crimes
As we pretend to forgive the crimes of others
And lead us always into temptation
And deliver us not from any evil
For thine is the Kingdom
And the power and the glory
Forever and ever
Amen"

If Christ were here on earth today, he would probably say something to the
effect of "Forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."
