The United Hates of America

In this Fantasy Satire, Reverend Loquacious "Burger King" Barnum of The Triglyceride Baptist Church and Reverend Owen Canaday of the Presbyterian Church of Riddick hate each other, their beliefs and their followers. But they unite to attack Non-People of Faith. They enlist the help of Akili Al-Tiamat, a Miami-based restaurateur, to perform their attacks. A Haitian/Arab, Tiamat can also serve as a scapegoat if some godless Liberal decides to point fingers. 
When officials of the Department Of Our Faithfully United Homeland Security, DOOFUHS, question Tiamat as a possible terrorist, she flees to Haiti.  When Homeland Security arrests her upon her return to the US, Barnum and Canaday alert the media.  As a new media darling, Tiamat proposes her new plan to the ministers.
The United Hates of America is a Fantasy Satire focusing on the evolution of today's societal power players and the impotence of an increasingly entertainment oriented press.
