First, I decry the voice above solely on the grounds of his words. He concluded his piece by claiming to be a “a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions,” while he had clearly spent over 1200 words trying to sway his readers thru mere emotion— “An enemy who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.” But let’s not waste our time on the particulars of his argument, rather the effects of a fundamental element of the anonymous wizards understanding—the “sacred political process”.
If the American political process is “sacred,” to what in dear Heaven does that reduce Jesus of Nazareth? And what might you and I think about His legal and rightful—according to the political process that is—crucifixion?
But I encourage us to take some time to remember and pay homage to our “sacred process.” It was from a glorious revolution that our Aryan forefathers wrought their salvation. It was their holy republican process that protected the institution of slavery for twenty years following the Aryan-scrotal-slumber party in 1787(the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention of 1787 was composed of 55 affluent Aryan males who secretly met to create a new constitution without the demand or influence of “we the people”). It was the 13th amendment of the LORD’s Holy Word (if the political process is sacred, then might the constitution be considered the Bible’s equal or at least a parallel) that made way for the continuing of the incendiary institution via a convict lease system that would formally exist until 1942 (I recommend Douglas Blackmon’s book Slavery by Another Name, note that I offer a specific source; I’m not telling you to “look it up if you think I am exaggerating.”). The South in particular utilized the convict lease system in which Black men were arrested and sold back into slavery for minutia; eaves dropping, consensual inter-racial sex, adultery, using obscene language, selling whiskey, violating contracts with white employers, selling cotton after sunset, bastardy, gambling, false pretense, and vagrancy (which meant any freedman—black man—not directly under the “protection of a white man”) were all common indictments (pages 53, 99, & 331 of Slavery by Another Name). Following their conviction they were quickly tried and auctioned off to the highest bidding corporation for much less than one could have purchased a slave prior to the Emancipation.
And moving on, you and I see the women who were granted legal recognition 133 years after the original drafting. And even further down the righteous path of the free and the brave we salute the American Indian, maybe the incarnation of the effects of Aryan Scrotal Supremacy. In our parallel with the gospels and the early church, the American Indians represent the ministry of reconciliation, which certainly does not mean a putting to rights or any other sustained sign of humility by the former oppressor, but reconciliation, my friend, is the passing of a bill, a signing of a treaty, or a several million dollar national buy out of a vulgar and unowned history.
My friends if we want to talk of the “sacred political process” then count me out. There is nothing sacred in such an institution, especially the one to which I am being urged to subscribe. Rather let us consider the perfect suffering love found only in the way of Jesus the Christ from Nazareth. There is a stark true dichotomy here. At the Anarchic event of baptism, the follower of Christ, the Christian, must take on an entirely and wholly different ethic not rooted in the history of a power-lusting nation-state but in the stories of the body of Christ at large in the world and through history—the church.
I hope and pray that this was of some benefit. Grace and peace.
