Loophole allows Republicans to buy eternity - Hakman
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 01:50 AM by donhakman
Its not news that Republicans have the best corporate goverment that money can buy. Nor is it any surprise that exploiting loopholes has been a key to controling every facet of American lives and dwindling income.

What is new is making the President out to be the spiritual and morality master of the nation which used to be the role of religious leaders. The triumverant of Neocons, Pentagon and the religious right have invested in think tanks for decades to find new ways to do things that were previously considered ethical. It has paid off in ways most people can not begin to imagine. The sky is the limit - or at least it used to be. They have stumbled onto something bigger than skimming all the money imaginable. Yep its even bigger than our regularly scheduled oil war.

A BREAKTHROUGH has occured in Jerry "Flawell's" religious right think tank regarding getting the wealth of a rich man through the eye of a needle. A new digital transfer technique has pumped billions directly to the nether regions and has earned some of the most privileged Republicans a place in eternity - NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
In effect they bought a huge new gated community subdivision in hell with a view.

I'm sure we all have some idea who will be moving in, you know with Cheney's heart condition and Rumsfeld not looking well lately, but actually most new members will not be houshold names.

Using the same digital transfer method, pictures and interviews have come back from hell 1... Ralph Arbitrage said "I really like it here. Its nice and warm and the food is great. There are the token penalties but nothing unbearable. I especially like watching hell 2 from behind glass. Its sort of like watching a car wash but with fire instead of water."

With eternity at stake its really hard to fault the greed of certain Wall Street directors and Corporate CEO's. Even issues like destroying the enviorment and atmosphere pale in importence when compared to buying a condo in eternity.

There is something else which is new.
The RNC is considering using the new hell development in the coming election, once they find the right spin. At first it was thought that selling people on hell might be contrary to religious dogma but the Flawell people assure us that nothing could be further from the truth.

1. Very funny and snide. I love it.
I do have a question about the second paragraph. Did you really mean to say "new ways to do things that were previously considered ethical?"

I was expecting “unethical” in this case.

Nevertheless, it’s great point.
