Noun Faith is form of mind control. It produces consumers.

“Verb Faith” paints a starkly contrasting portrait.

The word translated “faith” in the New Testament simply means,”trust.” Do we trust in unprovable speculation about metaphysical realities by those who know better, or do we trust in a grounded, earthly, integrated faith?

When considering the recent uproar over the Fourteenth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution, this is the section that is under fire by many Republicans:

Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Okay, here is where I ask the obvious question. If being born here doesn’t make you a citizen, what does?

I’m asking you to do two things. Numero uno. Sharpen your eyes and ears to the noun the corporate media uses to reference you. Numero dos. Every time you are referred to as a consumer (which is virtually every time) say resolutely to yourself, “Citizen.”

As someone that changed their support away from one candidate to then Sen. Obama, because of the implicit promise of investigation of torture by the criminal Bush administration, the Dog has to ask, has he been rolled on torture?
