Who would Jesus bomb?

Protesters ask Mike Huckabee, who would Jesus Bomb?

What a question. Personally i am glad there are people willing to ask it even if it means getting arrested. On Monday, 8 members of Iowa Occupation Project and Voices for creative non-violence infiltrated baptist Huckabee's headquarters, whic also happens to be in the same building as our man Ron Paul. The mission was to challenge the former minister and christian conservatives as in general for supporting this awful occupation and for support of bombing Iran, a country with no army or navy and no way to defend itself. This would never have happened if the media had the balls to ask such questions. But no, instead we get questions dealing with his family or his dog, but never serious questions on foreign policy. So this type of thing happens, and will continue to happen as long as the media silently cheer leads for more bombing, more occupation and more death.

The link i provided at the top reports that there were 35 reporters in the office at the time and i got to wondering if it will be picked up by the major sources of media in this country or will they be too afraid because then they would have to question the Christian support for this occupation. Then i thought, who cares. I mean, the old media is just that, OLD. We need to let them go by the wayside and stop paying attention to whether they are paying attention to the issue we want, we should stop caring because we will always lose, they are never looking out for our true interests.

Now i am by no means saying stop caring about what is going on in the world, i am merely saying that we should report on it ourselves and stop giving support to media that is corporate owned and/or government controlled. That's the main reason i started this blog, i was sick of not hearing the questions i wanted to hear being asked, most of the issues that concern me are totally blacked out or distorted out of context. But now we have the internet everything is changing. Old media has lost their strangle hold on information and its a beautiful thing .
