Cheney-Bush: The Absence of Morality

Cheney-Bush: The Absence of Morality by Dr. Gerry Lower Mar 1, 2007

One simply cannot overstate the extent to which an incompetent and corrupt Bush administration has failed under the neoconservative world view of Dick Cheney. It has failed not only on the domestic and international fronts, it has also failed in its "war on terrorism" by virtue of immoral actions that have actually encouraged and increased terrorism in the Middle East (1).

One of the more amazing aspects of Cheney's dominion is that he has been able to motivate and manipulate George W. Bush in such a way that Bush actually believes that he himself is "the decider." Because of his limited knowledge base, Bush has had little choice but to accept Cheney's neoconservative world view and act on those views as if his own. Bush now has little choice but to maintain a similarly infallible stance, the only stance left in the face of Cheney's many failures.

The article goe on and then Mr Lower explains:

In the west, we have three standards which comprise the western moral hierarchy.

HUMANISM (CHRISTIAN ETHICAL MORALITY)
DO NOT HIT FIRST, DO NOT HIT BACK

JUDEOROMANISM (VENGEANCE-BASED MORALITY)
DO NOT HIT FIRST, DO HIT BACK

BARBARISM (ABSENCE OF MORALITY)
DO HIT FIRST, DO HIT BACK

Mr. Lower explains each standard in his article. Which one describes our current "leaders"?

I really like what he says in conclusion, forgive me for telling the ending but it is so good and really go read the rest of the article here.

That outcome is prophetic for all three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Romanism and Islamism, all in service to despotism and rule by the rich and powerful. That prophetic outcome would discredit the Abrahamic religions from the global political arena for the duration, right along with the despotism that they has been used to justify over the millennia.

That prophetic outcome places all people on the edge of the abyss and, at the same time, on the threshold of a dream, because that prophetic outcome would open the doors to a global human revolution and the implementation of a global direct democracy based in nascent Christian human rights. This is what is meant by "the second coming". It is what Jefferson had in mind, and there is nothing supernatural about it.
