Cut it out. And if you're too much of an idiot to realize that these songs are not simply "ascribing noble attitudes" to The Messiah in the White House, that is all the more reason for my having no time for you.

Er, isn't GOD the one who's supposed to have those attitudes? And if there isn't already a song ascribing them to Him, shouldn't there be? I say we just make a long song ascribing every morally praiseworthy attribute to our Lord and Savior, so that we can stop any of this nonsense in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20704380.post-66232729006346791062009-09-28T20:59:13.445-04:002009-09-28T20:59:13.445-04:00I was thinking about the very, very conservative h...I was thinking about the very, very conservative high school I went to. It was at a fundamentalist church. At chapel one day they showed us a film from the hawkish organization Peace Through Strength arguing against disarmament, and for a field trip, we went to a rally against the Equal Rights Amendment in the state capital of Peoria. Hey, the parents wanted that kind of school and were willing to pay for it.<br /><br />But they would never, never have sung songs praising the President. Of course Reagan was popular, though I can't remember much talk about him per se. The point is though that when we sang songs praising somebody, they were always about God. It was a politicized school in one sense, but there were intrinsic limits. There was no God-shaped hole as it were waiting to be filled with a messianic President.Lydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20704380.post-54487774902528672672009-09-28T14:48:07.283-04:002009-09-28T14:48:07.283-04:00"Creepy" doesn't quite cover that......"Creepy" doesn't quite cover that... wow.Todd McKimmeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416832992154972232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20704380.post-42317681387406661472009-09-26T17:05:47.310-04:002009-09-26T17:05:47.310-04:00"Just don't send your kids to public scho..."Just don't send your kids to public school, okay?"<br /><br />Don't plan on it. =)Robert Kundahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795192698199602925noreply@blogger.com
