It’s funny that during the campaign, lots of people agreed that,”Yes WE can!” But now that things haven’t gone back to the heights of economic success, everybody’s complaining that “HE couldn’t!”
Nebulous, welcome to the real world of reality t.v. aficionados, Conservative finger pointers in denial, and tea baggers so busy buying the fairy tail story by GW “buffoon” Bush about his cartoon presidency that they have forgotten the point made by benbrilling as well as the other colossal blunders that Bush/Cheney perpetrated on this country for 8 years.
For 200 years, Christians survived without
a bible, with good cause. If there had been
such a thing and one was caught with a bible,
he would have been quickly turned into lion
food. Then Constantine, for reasons political
rather than religous I suspect, made the
christian faith the official theology of Rome.
Evidenced by his refusal to be baptized until
he was lying on his death bed. Once it was
official three archbishops independently set
about assembling a bible a from the writings of
the early christians. From the historical record,
three very different books emerged. The
archbishop of Rome produced the bare bones
edition,ie; one gospel was enough, toss out
most of the old testiment, trash most of St.
Paul’s letters, etc. The archbishop of
Alexandria, not suprizingly, produced the
hernia model, given the Alexandrian love
of literature, evidenced by the library of
Alexandria with it’s half a million or so
volumes, they threw in every gospel and
religous text pertaining to christianity.
The archbishop of Rouen produced the happy
medium version with evolved into the king
James version. When asked why only 4 gospels
replyed, 4 is the right number, for example,
and other irrefutable logic to justify his
product, which became the chosen text for all
of the Roman Empire, when the factions began
to squabble amongst themselves.The Alexan-
drians, not suprizingly, stuck to their
complete version, incuring the wrath of the
followers of chosen sect and the government
of Rome. As the official christians began to
systematically destroy all evidence of the
other two, the Alexandrians were in a panic.
Not wanting to allow their sacred books to
be destroyed, they gathered up copies of all
they had and went into the desert buried half
of them and destributed the rest among the
monasteries in the region to become the core
of the coptic christian denomination.
Unfortunately many if not most of these
monasteries were destroyed by the official
forces. Most of the Alexandrians texts were
lost to the world for hundreds of years.
Fortunately many, not all, of these documents
have resurfaced in whole or in fragments
recently. For instance, there are 21 gospels
in whole or in part, and reference is made
to two others of which we have nothing. Plus
letters and acts of the Apostles and martyrs.
The pope being the personification of the
perceived destroyers becomes a target.
A peek into antiquity.

Technical pont: that graph is the monthly job loss chart. It peaked at about 800,000 when Bush was making his exit.
