I laughed so hard I just had to share this, lol.

It is apparent that human beings are designed to worship. Why? Because no matter what they believe, no matter where they come from, no matter what they do, human beings find a way, whether directly or indirectly, to worship something or someone. Don’t believe me? Look up the word worship (I’m not going to do your work for you, lazy). One thing you might learn is that the English word “worship” comes from an Old English word that means “worthy”. Whom or what is worthy of your adoration, in your opinion? Better yet in your actions, your affections, your allegiance? What gets your time, money, and energy? Who or what do you deem worthy of your constant attention and affection? Shoes? The Redskins? Money? Food? Sex? Christ? Beezelbub? Self?
Don’t want to admit that you’re a worshiper? Too smart, aware, enlightened, or elite to worship a god? Religion is the opiate of the masses, eh? If science can’t prove it (translation: If you in your limited understanding cannot compute it nor can you find a reputable calculation of it by some other douchebag) then you don’t believe it? Congratulations; you simply worship your self. Nothing can exist that’s higher than what you can perceive, huh?
Worshiper.
The point is, no matter who or what you are, whether you know it or not, you’re worshiping something. Choosing to worship a spiritual god is noble, choosing to worship your self is foolish; but what are you when you worship a non-being? Most people actually worship ideas, or worse, dogmatic ideologies that have no power to save. Even worse are those who worship institutions that are upheld by the ideas; that’s like worshiping the throne the real god sits on! What sense does THAT make? Well, to many citizens, it makes a lot of sense! How so? Because the most committed worshipers worship the State (or the anti-State) and political platforms. They don’t even really worship the cause (which might have been forgivable), but the vehicle in which the cause is contained, by which it is driven. These are society’s bottom feeders who often call themselves ‘activists’, ‘purists’, ‘staunch (fill in the blank)’, or other such self-righteous distinctions. However, they are no better than someone who chooses to worship an expensive car, as opposed to the luxury brand that made the car, as opposed to the money that acquires the luxury, as opposed to the system that provides the money, as opposed to the humans that run the system, as opposed to the God who created the humans.
But I digress…
Whom or what do you worship? And does what you worship at least reward you properly? Does it serve you as you serve it? Or does it just dangle a carrot in front of you, always leading you to more and more want with less and less gratification?
Think…

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is angry and has officially “lost his patriotism” because as a citizen, much less a former Governor and a veteran (and don’t forget totally famous WWF wrestler – I just couldn’t help myself), he is treated like a criminal by the TSA at the airport and can’t even get his day in court with a jury of his peers. Like any cool American, Ventura sued the United States, claiming the TSA violates the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure, but his federal district court case was dismissed, as the ruling was that he should have filed in a Circuit Court of Appeals. This kind of judicial suppression is heinous, and Ventura claims that they refused to hear him because they know if he had a jury he would win and “open a Pandora’s Box” on this obvious violation of the Bill of Rights. Ventura, heated and ready to shout it from the rooftops, says he is applying for dual citizenship in Mexico and may have to run for POTFS (that’s mine) – President of what he calls the “Fascist States of America”.

Wall Street mogul Peter Schiff goes to Liberty Park and speaks on behalf of “The 1%.” He allows protesters to sound off and voice their views, and many do so intelligently. Schiff responds respectfully and offers an alternative perspective on capitalism that (whether they admit it or not) reaches some of the protesters (even if they struggle to swallow it). Schiff gets my respect for not coming off like an insensitive douchebag or a ruthless capitalist. He explains that the real problem is not with Wall Street, but Wall Street’s unholy union with the federal government, which originates with corruption in government, not those who take financial advantage of that corruption.

For all you nerds and nerdettes, these next two videos will be a pick-me-up to bookmark. Yoram Bauman, PhD is an economist who does stand-up comedy – thus, he has branded himself as the “Stand-Up Economist”. His most popular routine is “Mankiw’s 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated”, and every time I watch it (which must be a zillion times by now) I laugh out loud just like the first. BUT, you have to be smart to think this stuff is funny! Guess that means I’m REALLY smart then…
Anyway, the second is a HILARIOUS routine about the federal deficit and politics – he gets everyone with this one. Libs, cons, swing voters, and more. For this one, you simply have to be intellectually honest. If you’re a nut at the tip of either wing, leave now before you get offended and organize a protest or a rally somewhere :-/
Cats totally get this stuff – smart people should be able to keep up 
Why do the liberal rich want one world government? Why is it okay to execute Qaddafi without a trial in the International Criminal Court? Why don’t we have drug testing for Congress? Who is REALLY going to benefit from the Occupy Wall Street protests? As always, Michael Savage is brilliant, tells the truth about liberals AND conservatives, and questions the status quo.
