Have a New Holy Land By: George Feigley
Cofounder
 Conservatives like things that are out of date. They don't cope well with innovation or new ideas. That's why conservative Christians have such devotion to the ruined Holy Land. It's not new. It's not innovative. It's comfortably familiar. It's securely mythological. In recent years, especially under the Republican Bush presidency, that's changed. Many conservative Christians now have a new Holy Land, the oil fields, especially the oil fields of Iraq. The Christians call it the Holier Land! Ever since Catholic Christians started the Cruasdes in 1095 in order to get rid of some of the criminal knights who were warring in Europe, Christians have looked at the Holy Land as ripe for looting. Ever since the homosexual murderer, King Richard Lion Heart (1157-1199), slaughtered tens of thousands and raped countless multitudes during his bloody crusade, Christians have viewed the Holy Land as a hunting ground for mindless butchery. It is without question that Christians like to kill. They are particularly fond of killing the helpless, the poor and the defenseless; victims who can't fight back. That's true at least for the conservative and fundamentalist Christians. Killing is an important focus of their dogma. So is profit. That's why conservative Christians are Republicans. They worship money. Murder and money are the ideal religion.
Conservative Christians' new Holier Land has been an expensive crusade. About 600,000 innocent Iraqis have died. A few thousand American crusaders have died. Thousands of American mercenaries have died. There's been a lot of killing. Christians like killing. Almost as good, many many thousands have been injured and will suffer. That will teach them about God's love. Conservatives and Republicans have decided to give hundreds of millions of dollars in arms to Iraq. To sane persons, it's obvious that we should be getting out of Iraq as quickly as we can. We should be disarming the country. We should be pacifying the country that Bush tried to destroy. Collect and destroy as many guns as we can find. Instead, Bush has a conservative Christian plan. He wants to give them MORE guns, maybe a billion dollars worth. LiKe conservative Christians, Bush exists in a reality all his own. I'm not much of a prophet, but I predict that the guns American taxpayers give to Iraq will be used to fight Americans. After raping their country, we're not very popular in Iraq. If you give them a gun, you better duck. They'll be firing it at you! The guns we're fighting now are the guns we gave to our wonderful old ally, Saddam Hussein! Bush and his conservative Republicans want to give a billion dollars of guns to Iraq. They want to give another billion dollars to Afghanistan. Bush and the conservatives are not very bright. If that money were spent in America, we'd have universal health care. We'd have a repaired infrastructure; highways, roads, bridges, power grid, etc. Conservatives don't like universal healthcare for Americans. It makes people healthy instead of killing them. Iraq has universal healthcare. Afghanistan has universal healthcare. American taxpayers pay for it while we're killing them. The Holier Land has been a crusade of murder and money, just what conservative Christians like best.

The traditional Holy Land is now more or less Israel. What's
the point of a crusade against Israel? George W. Bush, one of
the most truly evil persons to ever be president of the United
States, has come to the aid of his conservative Christians
supporters - oil! He started the Oil Crusade by
attacking Iraq. Conservative Christians redirected their adoration
to the Holier Land. It flows not with cheap milk and honey, but
with petroleum! That's the real stuff of their god, petroleum!
