The Other Americas

A resort for “Family Friendly America”
Casino- and vice-free resort fun for Mom, Dad, and all the kids (other kinds of families need not apply)
Orrin Hatch’s American Dream.

Unconstitutional and/or against the law, in Orrin’s Perfected America:

  • Abortion
  • Equal Opportunity race quotas
  • Flag burning no longer protected free speech

Constitutional:

  • States would have the right to refuse to acknowledge same-sex marriage
  • School prayer
  • Foreign-born US Presidents (the “Ahnold Amendment”)
  • Balanced budget – okay, but at what cost to critical social services?

Even among conservatives, Senator Hatch has the reputation of a constitutional gadfly, repeatedly pounding away at his pet amendments (sometimes more than once in a year).

Constitutional conservative activist Chuck Muth suspects political posturing is behind many of Hatch’s proposed changes.
“The senator appears to be using constitutional amendments as a way of ducking an issue legislatively, knowing the amendment is not going to pass but proposing it to get on the right side with his constituents,” said Muth, president of Citizens Outreach.

Yep, I’m just keeping a weather eye on the theocratization of America. And this is just in the West – there’s tons more like it in the Southeast.

Now it appears that Hollywood bigwigs are wondering if they shouldn’t start making more movies about the religion thing, and catering to a market they’ve mostly ignored – the “people not like us ” market.

Oh, boy, here comes a Samson and Delilah remake, you betcha! But who could they possibly get to bring the cheese home like Victor Mature could?

And you know the effects wizards have got to be wondering what they might do with the “Red Sea” scene in“The Ten Commandments” as there’s lots offree publicityfloating around for that one these days.

At least the atheists have a sense of humor about themselves amidst all the religio-political follies – their new PAC is called “Godless Americans”.
