Lawdy Lawdy Sharia Law Is Coming

Run for your lives, the Muslims are going to impose Sharia law on all of us.  Though they only make up about 2% of our population, and there are as many interpretations of Sharia law as there are Imams, somehow this small gritty, but disorganized group is going to overthrow our government and eliminate the Constitution and put in place such things as praying daily to God. Since they are such a small portion of our populations, they are going to have to rely on Muslim versions of Gomer Pyle to jump out shouting, "Citizens Sharia law, Citizens Sharia law."For the Republicans it's a great issue. There is no likelihood of this ever transpiring, but they can sure scare their base - and independents they hope - into believing it's a real threat.  And, of course, only they are mighty enough to fend off this nefarious scheme.

Republicans always need a bogeyman to enable them to keep the electorate from focusing on their policies and programs.  Because when people do check out what the Repubs are proposing, they get alarmed - i.e., Paul Ryan was booed by his own constituents after they read his budget plans for the country. So, the Repubs need Blacks and Commies (in the 50s), feminists and hippies in the 60s, socialists in the 70s through the 80s, gays in the 90s, and terrorists in our current age.  All of these groups are characterized as less than human, but superhuman in their effects on average Americans.

They shout that if Democrats get their way, why Blacks will marry White women. Everyone will be smoking dope and wanting peace or unisex bathrooms. Everyone will have healthcare and gay marriages will split up heterosexual marriages worse than adultery.  And, we might have to look at why we unquestioningly support a nation that spies on us, steals our intelligence secrets, infiltrates our government agencies and kills women and babies in the name of self defense.

Of course, our support for Israel is mainly due to the Christian right, who needs Israel to survive until Jesus comes back and we can kill all of them Jews - hot damn!
