Look Nov. 4 is now here, I have been sick of this election but now it is over, and all I have to say is go vote for a change. I’m talking about voting if you never have, voting as if your life change change by it, vote because you still have rights. There are no reasons not to, I am going and I plan on having my ds and zune with me as a preemptive strike for the hours wait (I have also set up a Twitter account: http://twitter.com/maguslod so you can enjoy my pain as well). So though I have always stayed way from saying who to vote for every year this time I am.
If you want your rights to matter, if you want the net to be free, if you understand we are on the wrong path, then vote for someone who is just too awesome. Barack Obama.

white and red lettering on a black and white background

“A Vote for McCain is a Vote for Armageddon”: a semi-transparent head and shoulder image of McCain is superimposed over a nuclear mushroom cloud, with the phrase overlaid in white and red lettering.

“If you Vote for McCain you Vote for the Apocalypse”: a semi-transparent head and shoulder image of McCain is superimposed over a painting of souls writhing in agony at the end of days.

Neither of these is an exaggeration:

• McCain was endorsed by Rev. Hagee, an apocalyptic dominionist preacher who believes Armageddon must be fought by the United States against Iran and that the Holocaust was God’s way of forcing the Jews back to Israel to fulfill end-times prophecy (McCain Gets Hell For Embracing Armageddon Sect“; McCain, Hagee and Armageddon as Foreign Policy“; “McCain Courts “Apocalypse Pastor” Hagee“

• “The pastor McCain calls his ’spiritual guide,’ Rod Parsley, believes America’s founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a ‘false religion.’”

• McCain thinks singing “bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran” was funny (see You Tube video footage here and has made it clear he plans to go to war with Iran;

• McCain has said the nuclear option is on the table and Bush recommends a pre-emptive strike against Iran (”Iran: Bush’s Nuclear Option for a McCain Victory.” McCain wants to solve the energy crisis by proliferating nuclear power plants; (”It’s Time for the Nuclear Option, Says McCain“)

• McCain has had so many lapses of memory and made so many mistakes that many have called for him to be tested for senility — this is the man who would have his finger on “the button”:
  • He couldn’t remember how many houses he had or what kind of car he drove;
  • He didn’t know the difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims and had to be corrected three times in the space of a few seconds by Lieberman;
  • He thinks Iraq (rather than Afghanistan) shares a border with Pakistan;
  • “Many of McCain’s fellow Republican senators say he’s too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: ‘The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He’s erratic. He’s hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.’“

• McCain’s Vice Presidential pick, Sarah Palin, is a “stealth dominionist.” Dominionists believe Christians should take over the world by force so they can impose their version of “Christian” law on everyone in the world, which includes the death penalty for gays, abortion providers, pagans, and anyone else who disagrees with them. They also believe the Apocalypse is a good thing, because they will be raptured into heaven where they can laugh at the torture and suffering of those left behind.

The fate of the world literally hangs in the balance with this election. Warn as many people as you can with these buttons.

How about me and you have a quick little chat.

After the Pennsylvania Primary I have one thing to say:

GIVE THE FUCK UP!1!!1

Look, you can’t win. You said that we should let the voters decide (and they did). Then, you said that the voters don’t matter because the Super Delegates know best. So when you were in the lead you loved the American Voter, when you got your ass handed to you in 12 states, suddenly they don’t matter. Stop cannibalizing your own party. Fuck.

This post brought to you by a fucking registered Republican who knows Obama can beat McCain and you can’t.

PS. I used to have no respect for you politics or your character. Now I have even less.

Alright people, Obama scored a 37 out of 300 bowling.

BOWLING!

How the FUCK does this at all matter to the election?

No, tell me. Really.

Hell, he can beat me in a game of bowling; unless it’s on the Wii, then I can get a 40! W00t!

This just shows you how asinine this election has gotten. I mean, how many delegates would Obama have gotten if he bowled a 300? My guess is, one Spartan.

So again, does this matter when “Delegates Decide the Democratic Candidate: Your Vote Does Not Matter ‘08?” Well, it does matter, because once again it’s coming back to the race issue!

MSNBC political analyst Howard Fineman decided to tell America on Hardball, “he should have stuck to shooting hoops.” So I wonder, what would he have said if Mrs. Clinton had scored a 37? “She should have stuck to stitching quilts?” Or McCain? “He should have stuck to shouting at kids on the lawn like other grandfathers?” Or Ron Paul (because if I don’t mention him other bloggers will get mad at us)? “He should have stuck to shouting at kids on the lawn — about the Constitution?”

So this little issue of only scoring 37 pins, 37! Has nothing, NOTHING to do with the election (except, of course, that more underlying racial tension comes to light). This is just as bad as hearing about Britney Spears’ latest crisis. Why don’t we just get this election over with; after all, don’t you know that line 37 on page 666 of the Patriot Act says that Bush automatically gets a 3rd term?

But then, even that might not happen if the Large Hadron Collider kills us all (more about that later).

Here at CroneSeraphim we strive to bring civil rights news items to your attention that might not be covered by main stream media. But anyone who has read our “about us” page  or our bios knows that we are not just pundits, we are Pagan pundits. One of our main goals is to share with other Wiccans and Pagans some of the magickal practices we have found useful to positively affect our world.

The main political problem that seems to be on everyone’s mind right now is the Presidential election, particularly the heavily contested democratic primary. However, the spell I suggest here will work equally well for the general election, once the democratic nominee has been selected. It is not meant to take the place of active participation in the mundane political process, but rather to provide a spiritual supplement that will boost the effectiveness of those efforts, as well as provide a psychological boost to help keep you fighting for what you believe.

I’m going to assume that the majority of you reading this have not only made up your minds who you support in the democratic primary, but are either strongly in favor of one candidate or strongly opposed to the other (particularly if you are planning to vote for John McCain in the general election). There has been a lot of bad press directed at all three candidates, but particularly at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The following is a spell from the hoodoo tradition, designed to send negativity back whence it came while positively supporting your candidate.

For this spell you will need:

1. a special candle poured with the bottom half black and the top half white (available at occult supply shops that offer hoodoo equipment and supplies);

2. a knife sharp enough to carve and shape the candle;

3. a mirror you can burn the candle on;

4. optional: “reversible” oil, which should be available at the same place you find the candle;

5. matches or a lighter to light the candle with.
