Imagine
It's that time of year again. Time once again for me to trash one of the worst, anti-God, anti-patriotism, anti-free market, pro-communism, atheistic songs ever written by a over-blown, self-centered, self-indulgent millionaire!
For some reason, that I can't even imagine, (pardon the pun,) many Christians have latched onto this song as a sort of anthem. I've seriously had more than one believer get his/her nose out of joint at me for mocking the maudlin little tune.
I suppose it has a purty-ful melody, a couple of catchy lines and talks inanely about peace on earth. I reckon it's good to listen to when your drunk or stoned and you're enjoying feeling warm and mushy about life. You know, not that you would want to do anything about the world's problems; you just want to feel like you do.
"Imagine Re-imagined"
"Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try."
Why would I want to try? "No Heaven"? In other words, no angels, no God, no Jesus? No thanks!
"No Hell below us."
So, Hitler, Stalin, and every pedophile in history who never got caught escaped justice?
"Above us only sky."
What? No Glory Land? No mom & dad waiting to greet me? No eternal bliss with Jesus?
"Imagine all the people living for today."
Isn't that our problem today? So many living as if there's no eternity and no Almighty God to whom they'll have to answer.
"You may say I'm a dreamer."
No, I just think you did too many drugs.
"But I'm not the only one."
That's true and it makes me want to cry.
"I hope someday you'll join us."
No, I'll stay with Jesus.
"And the world will live as one."
No, I am in the world, but not of it.

Juan Williams is a Bigot!
Yeah, I used to have some respect for Juan, but when I saw him acidly attack Sarah Palin on Hannity, again, as not being as smart as Obama, it was obvious there was one reason only. Funny, but he never mentions anything Obama ever did to prove himself to be so smart.
All Juan did was make fun of how pretty Palin is. That's what a sexist does, he writes off a woman because she is either too ugly or too pretty. I suppose that makes him a sexist too. Sheesh!

"I Love You, Barack Obama!"
Stevie Wonder is one of the biggest bigots in the wold!
He was on American Idol the other night doing a medley of his hits, which are numerous, when he started singing some song about love, peace, hope or other such malarkey. I didn't recognize it as one of his "hits." In the middle of the song, he suddenly blurted out, "I love you, Barack Obama!"
Now, why would he do such a thing? (Did someone tell him the President was in the audience? How would he have known any different?) I've never seen him on t.v. lots of times and he's never acted this way before?
I imagine he voted for him and is excited about him and by him. Still, why is he so excited and why did he vote for him?
Apparently, he, like so many Americans, is thrilled to have a black president. The problem is, how does Stevie know that Bary is black? Sheesh! How does Stevie even know that he is black? Someone must have told him.
For all Stevie knows, both he and Barry are white, Asian, Greek or whatever else. Stevie has been blind since birth and doesn't even know what black is.
In my never to be humble opinion, this is simple prejudice. Here's a man to whom color of skin should be totally meaningless. Yet, he voted for and is excited by a guy that someone told him is black. How could Stevie even know that he's not being lied to?
Other than just the fact that the entire affair was completely silly, it was a testimony to the trifling nature of the Hollywood elite and all other such liberal ignoramuses. They see themselves as so hip and current and just too cool for school and their prejudice and bigotry is painfully evident to everyone in the real world, but, not surprisingly, not to themselves.
I can't imagine a singer shouting out right in the middle of a musical number, "I love you, George Bush!" No doubt, he would've been the butt of a hundred jokes and skits on late night television. Nope, no hypocrisy there.
