from the introduction to Jefferson Eyes, a book about American

politics, economics, and religion from a viewpoint akin to

Jeffersonian philosophy, something i can get behind. i personally find

the term JudeoRoman perfect to describe imperial capitalist theocracy,

a meme complex including economic domination in the name of the Old

Testament god. the author also advocates a return to the founding

fathers' Deism ( " the dialectic synthesis of Theism and Atheism " or

" the science of religion " as he says or Western Taoism as i like to

think of it), which he claims was the basis for their principles of

equality, liberty, and human rights.

As a result, the religious right wing, mostly Republican, like the

JudeoRoman church-states before it, has pursued a complete tyranny

over the minds of the people via control over their government's

institutions and policies and control over their press, employing

secretiveness and propaganda laced with fabrications and lies. The

secular left wing, mostly Democrat, has been reduced to dumbness and

impotence, lost entirely from its liberal roots on the side opposite

capitalism. Unaware that empowering capitalism signaled the death of

the traditional American politic, America proceeded to make a god of

mammon. The left wing is unable to envision an alternative to the post

WW II chosen " American Way " because it is now integral to that program

and to the resulting problems. Within the " intellectual " confines of

crony capitalism, there simply are no solutions to the problems

created by capitalism itself.

 

Thoughtful and caring people will be largely unable do anything to

alter the necessary evolutionary outcome, as vengeance-based religion

and crony capitalism continue to discredit themselves from the global

political arena. If the people choose to fight the good fight for

Democracy and freedom or if they choose to fight for JudeoRoman

Bushism, the outcome will be quite the same. While waiting for that

outcome (as religious prophecy blindly fulfills itself), the people

will need to rethink Jefferson's Democracy in contemporary Information

Age terms, and the people will need to re-establish Jefferson's God,

the " will of the people, " as the direct decision-making apparatus of

their nation. It is time to return to common human sense and the

dialectic wisdom of our Fathers. It is time to grow up as a nation,

socially and spiritually.
