Spiritual Felo De Se: Fealty to a Moral Abomination (Jason Miller)
By Jason Miller -- World News Trust

"Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit." --Emma Goldman

Oct. 14, 2006 -- Populist Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez had the sheer audacity to stand before the United Nations last month and deliver an angry diatribe against the enemy of humanity. Dispensing with mealy-mouthed pleasantries, he verbally savaged Bush in his fiery oration. Chavez knows an abhorrent war criminal when he sees one and he isn’t one to mince words or use polite euphemisms.

George Bush had addressed the assembly the previous day, Sept. 19, with an incredibly disingenuous monologue loaded with platitudes and Orwellian Doublespeak Admittedly, with his credibility around the world and uncanny capacity to articulate in an intelligent manner, Bush was a tough act to follow at the UN. But somehow, Chavez managed.

He made a few choice observations: "The devil came here yesterday. And it smells of sulfur still today." Bush may not actually be the devil, but he certainly qualifies as one of his Earthly agents. And Chavez may very well have been smelled residual sulfur fumes that had emanated from Satan himself. It is a virtual certainty that Lucifer was present for Bush’s virtuoso performance. How could he have resisted watching his favorite sociopath’s attempt to beguile listeners into believing he is pursuing noble causes?
