Moral Values?

OK, so now I’ve seen everything.

I almost spit my coffee through my nose from the absurdity of the statement that I just read.

“Pope Benedict XVI personally thanked US President George W. Bush on Friday for his defense of fundamental moral values".

The more I thought about it, I began to see the irony.

Let’s take a look at these “moral values.”

To achieve his presidential goals, bush has deliberately mislead the world for the reasons to invade Iraq. His lies have caused the deaths of American citizens, the destruction of lives, mangled American bodies and minds. In Iraq, depending on whose numbers you believe, he is responsible for killing over one million people.

Of the seven deadly sins, greed seems to be bush’s favorite, as we see billions and billions of dollars going unaccounted for that was earmarked to rebuild Iraq, the nation he destroyed. His invasion has destabilized an already unstable region and oil prices have nearly tripled since bush took office.

The bush family fortune comes from oil company profits.

Did I mention how this invasion was the result of his lies?

The pope has some rather interesting “moral values” too. Not only does he actively participate in the covering up of sex abuse at the hands of his priests, but he goes as far as blaming society for the problem in the first place.

This is the same guy that once said that Buddhist meditation was actually a form of masturbation. He further stated that abortion and homosexuality were “obstacles” to world peace. This guys seems a little preoccupied with sex issues.

So it appears that these two men, these fine christian men, seem to have some of the same values after all.

Both are delusional. Believing in fantasy.

Both are hypocrites.

Both are in positions of ultimate power.

Both are liars. Both are guilty of aiding and abetting crimes.

But these are hardly what I would call “moral values.”

So as bush and the pope lay down in bed together tonight, doing the things they have fantasized about in their rise for power, know full well that the morals that they exhibit, the beliefs that they hold, the crimes they commit, are transparent and expose them for the corrupt charlatan liars that they are.
