a thinly veiled anti-Republican party exposition.\u00a0 Profoundly ironic, Republicans are as sure proof as you are going to find that evolution doesn&#8217;t exist, and, as Gandhi never said, &#8220;Be the lack of change you want to see in the world.&#8221;\u00a0 The Republican party appears quite comfortable with greed as the primary human motivation.\u00a0 Perhaps worse yet, and even more disingenuous, is the ease at which Republicans embrace anti-science views, of which anti-evolution and climate change skepticism are its hallmarks.\u00a0 For the so-called religious expertise that Republicans claim, they certainly manage to brand religion as anti-science, which it need not be.\u00a0 Even within the hallowed halls of religious territory, Republicans manage to bring hypocrisy to ever-new heights.\u00a0 With their specialty Christianity, Republicans paint a picture of Jesus as if he were a white, suburban-living, English-speaking American, preaching some prosperity gospel.\u00a0 For God&#8217;s sake, Jesus wasn&#8217;t even a Christian, he was a Jew, and a Palestinian Jew at that!\u00a0 If such a poor, dark-skinned, Middle-eastern, non-English-speaking, peace-loving, giver of free health care showed up in America, the Republicans would have reserved seating at his crucifixion.\u00a0 Of course, they would contract out the actual killing, though a carpenter driving in those nails would not likely be a member of the carpenters&#8217; union.\u00a0 Plus, the Republicans definitely wouldn&#8217;t bother paying a &#8220;living&#8221; wage for such low skilled tasks, however unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p>The larger theme in this poem is about the tension between electoral and non-electoral politics.\u00a0 The two-party duopoly of Republocrats offers only a narrow range of possibilities deemed politically feasible.\u00a0 This leaves the electorate, barely even a majority of eligible voters in many elections, to ratify the predetermined candidates from a relatively narrow ideological pool.\u00a0 In my view, this electoral desert leaves little room for the kind of robust responses that the current world begs.\u00a0 Our slow and limited responses to climate change and energy use demonstrate this best.\u00a0 Even a well-managed end of civilization as we know it is a poor substitute for saving humanity.\u00a0 Of course, the &#8220;ballads or bullets&#8221; dichotomy is somewhat hyperbolic for effect.\u00a0 Nonetheless, without nonviolent revolution, or much-speeded evolution, our current body politic will experience a much more violent demise.\u00a0 I am rooting and working for a nonviolent revolution.\u00a0 The driving force of this revolution will almost certainly originate outside formal electoral politics. As history teaches us, such robust change does not come without personal sacrifice, and it demands courage.\u00a0 The Republicans would be well-advised to learn from Jesus, who showed us a different way.\u00a0 And who better than Jesus would know that just because you are a carpenter doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to see everything as a nail!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolves in Elephants&#8217; Clothing Somewhat sheepishly She whispered Beware of wolves in elephants&#8217; clothing Lurking about Only looking Like they want To kick some ass Though you can skulk in style If you have A grand Old party Securing your &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/toppun.com\/blog\/2014\/02\/03\/poem-wolves-elephants-clothing\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,9,15],"tags":[563,512,397,25,262,130,198,164,385,646,440,428,150,154,65,558,117,184,559,305,271,562,24,359,418,560,669,658,94,17,215,107,254,491,489,83,31,119,185,333,390,321,144,421,561,203,380],"class_list":["post-1326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","category-poems","category-political-and-philosophical-musings","tag-america","tag-business","tag-change","tag-christian","tag-christianity","tag-climate-change","tag-courage","tag-crime","tag-death","tag-elections","tag-evolution","tag-experience","tag-free-market","tag-gandhi","tag-god","tag-gop","tag-greed","tag-health-care","tag-history","tag-humanity","tag-hypocrisy","tag-ironic","tag-jesus","tag-life","tag-market","tag-nonviolent","tag-palestinian","tag-poems","tag-poetry","tag-political","tag-politics","tag-poor","tag-prayer","tag-present","tag-rage","tag-religion","tag-religious","tag-republican","tag-revolution","tag-sacrifice","tag-science","tag-skepticism","tag-taxes","tag-truth","tag-voters","tag-war","tag-work"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>POEM: Wolves in Elephants&#039; Clothing | Health, Poems, Political and Philosophical Musings | Top Pun&#039;s Poetry, Funny Puns, Free Posters, Public Health Radio Show!
