How fitting is it that Denver, the city at the eastern foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains, is the host city for the Democrat National Convention this year? Come August Colorado's capital will be blessed with a visit from the Messiah Himself. The Messiah will sweep into Denver, His disciples dutifully in tow as they follow in the wake of His flowing robes. Lucky they will be to cast their eyes upon Him, their Savior!

As the plans for the Messiah's visit are jelling some adjustments have been made to accommodate all of His followers. No longer will the Pepsi arena, the venue hosting the convention, be sufficient to hold the throngs of admirers. There has been talk of moving the Messiah's acceptance speech to Invesco Field, the 70.000 seat stadium where the Denver Broncos play in order to seat the masses so they may cast their gaze upon Him as they listen, rapt and enthralled as His words wash over them.

But wait . . . what if the Messiah draws more disciples than even we can imagine? More than even Invesco Field can sit? In order to accommodate the glut of fools, er . . . I mean disciples, I suggest the acceptance speech be moved to a more suitable venue, and while we're at it, let's call it what it really is.

It's time for we, the unwashed to accept that indeed our Savior has arrived. Let's just quit beating around the bush. I say the Messiah move his speech from Invesco Field to the nearest high peak of the Rockies overlooking the plains of Denver. Then and only then will the venue be correct, and let us name this what it really is. From on high, above the western plain of the Denver suburbs the Messiah can deliver His Sermon on the Mount.

Finally a venue suitable for the Savior! And finally a name suitable for the message He will deliver. I have an advance copy of the Messiah's words, and for those unable to attend I will give you a sneak peek into the Sermon on the Mount the Messiah will bless us with.

After an approximately 30 to 45 minute ovation for the Messiah, He will speak to we mere mortals. He will begin with His beatitudes. He will address the downtrodden with his admonition "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." After the fainting subsides the Messiah will continue, and in speaking of Himself He will offer "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God, or sons of Me, whichever you prefer." Again, speaking of Himself He will offer "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, where I live." And the Messiah will tell you "You are the salt of the Earth. . . You are the Light of the World."

He will advise the unwashed to follow Him and Him alone, for he is the Messiah, here to save us all from ourselves. He will caution you not to make false vows, but to fulfill your vows to Him. He will tell you to go the extra mile, to love your neighbor and "therefore you are to be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect," as well as I, your Messiah am perfect.

He will warn against your "practicing righteousness before men to be noticed by them. . .do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets." Only the Messiah is so entitled to trumpet His own horn, for you are the unwashed and only He is the righteous.

The Messiah will assist you in fulfilling his next admonition "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth," by making sure to take from you so you do not become greedy and self righteous. The Messiah will caution that you cannot serve the Messiah and wealth, "as you will love one master and hate the other."

The Messiah will comfort you by telling you ". . . do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" He will tell you "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself."

Cautioning the unwashed he will admonish "Do not judge so that you will not be judged." He will tell you not to notice the shortcomings of others, as you have your own, that only He is free of these Earthly and mortal sins.

In keeping with the storied traditions of the Democrat faithful the Messiah will advise "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."

Building to a crescendo the Messiah will warn "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits."

And lastly, as the throngs sway in his aura the Messiah will close with the assurance "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them , may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock . . . Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like the foolish man who built his house on the sand . . . ."

When the applause dies, what will we have?

What I see and hear is little different from the Democrat talking points for the last 60 years or so . . . first the assurance to the masses that He is the true choice, that you, the unwashed, if only you will stand with Him He will see to your needs . . . remain faithful and at His side you may reside. He wants to make sure you follow through with your pledges of donations and working for Him, the Messiah, and in so doing make sure you go the extra mile for Him. He doesn't want you to lament your non-perfection, for He is perfect for you, in your name.

The Messiah tells you that money is a corrupter and you cannot serve the almighty dollar and Him at the same time. To assist in throwing off the yoke of Western Culture he will provide for your hunger and your thirst, and do not judge His methods and motives, for if so, you will be judged, harshly one would assume. And He tells you, His children, to look to Him and ask, and He will provide. And in closing he warns against questioning Him and any other prophet, for He is the Messiah, and if one just follows his teachings, admonishments and desires you will rest at His side, for if you follow Him you will have "built [your] house on the rock."

So, Denver at the foot of the Mount; the Messiah at the foot of the Mount, the masses straining to glimpse their prophet who will deliver them from the evil Republicans, and all the Messiah need do is climb (or glide as the prophets seem to do as they move breathlessly over the Earth) to the top of the Mount and deliver His Sermon.

Yeah, I guess this IS the Second Coming. How nice for we unwashed!
