Monday, June 19, 2006 | What Would Jesus Do?

From Political Waves - by Judith Gayle

I REFUSE to believe that Americans can read things like the articles below and not question what we're doing in Iraq -- I refuse to believe that anyone but the Dittoheads and the US Government are invested in it's continuance and in George Bush's leadership. I believe that if this nation was told the truth by it's government or it's press, it would choose rightly.
 
Yesterday, CNN had a fifteen year-old girl on, a youngster who has gotten a lot of blogger attention.  The anchor, a woman who is pretty and vapid, chided her for having created both the following video [and many others, listed on her website]. I urge you to open it ... if you have dial up, it's well worth the few minutes it will take to load -- you will cry, but you will be glad you saw what this young American has done. You'll be proud to pass this one around.

"Now, AVA! What were you THINKING when you selected that music to go with those pictures?" the anchor asked.  "I was thinking we are all God's children," she replied.  This youngster, Ava Lowerey from Alabama, was invited to participate in the Kos convention [a convention of progressive Democrats]. "Do you think they were USING you?" asked the flighty anchor.

"Maybe," replied Ava, "but I was using them to get my message out."  
 
That's myth-busting, dearhearts -- that children aren't impacted by this war, that young people aren't engaged in political realities, that all kids think about are visits to malls and making calls on their cells, that "values" are the property of the Right.  
 
Ava's animation is our sorrowful reality and her conscience, ours -- visit her website after you watch it, see some of the other things she's produced.
