CITIZEN ALERT v1.207
JERRY FALWELL
Jerry Falwell passed on today into his next stage. Hopefully, he'll get to hang out with people EXACTLY like him, that think like him, look EXACTLY like him and talk about all the same things he likes to talk about so he can finally be happy.
Sometimes, I just felt a little guilty that the rest of us were screwing up Jerry's world for him, leaving him to live out a miserable earth bound existence.
Jerry ran the Moral Majority back in the 80s, an organization bent on turning back the clock so that we all resembled black and white TV in the 50s. His organization influenced politics for some time but first and foremost the Republican party. A lot of people would say Falwell created the far right.
What's ridiculous about the far right - REPUBS mainly - not MM peeps, is they talked incessantly about privatizing this and privatizing that, EXCEPT when it comes to religion. THAT they want wedged in everywhere they can get it; schools, government, your job, your home, media, the world.
I could never understand why they didn't just want to keep that private as well. Seems like it would be keeping in line with their platform.
