Just a Thought About Republicans

Not a one of them really believes in God or Jesus, or they wouldn't spend their whole lives doing things that would send them straight to Hell.  The whole thing is a gigantic Kabuki drama with no other intent but to shout down their opponents.  And this applies to the greedy little hate-filled white jerks they call their base, as well to the corrupt leaders.

Not much more to say about that-it's pretty obvious when you stop giving them credit for being "religious" and look at how they really behave.

I must disagree. You'll always find a few Torquemadas who sincerely believes that what they're doing is the will of God. (Name anything in ethics, and it's possible to create a Bible-based argument for it. Then you can also come up with a Bible-based argument against it.)


You might be interested in Fred Clark's musings on the "many Christians who are reluctantly convinced that obedience to God’s Law requires them to be unkind, unjust and unloving to LGBT people." He's of the opinion that they have a toxic theology (Clark's words). Their fear of not doing what they think God wants them to do overrides their conscience.

In other words, if you're convinced that God and Jesus want you to hate, you may be afraid of doing otherwise.

It's an alternate take on the phenomenon.

...and just to prove a point, seems like another (R) 'Family Values' governor has been caught. Wether it was/is an affair, a one night stand, or just plain old sexual harassment we will just have to wait to find out, since the news hasn't had a full cycle for the spin doctors to 'doctor'.

And we are still waiting (without much expectation) to see if the stories about Ted Cruz having had affairs have any substance. Probably just another Trump lie, but it would add one more element of insane farce to the Republican nomination.

I've been saying that much of what the GOP espouses is Satanic, first in and more extensively in A conversation with The Archdruid about Objectivism, Satanism, and the GOP. For the past 30 years, the conservative movement has tried to make two works of science fiction, "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Handmaid's Tale," into reality simultaneously. The only way that combination works is if one is working for a bunch of religious fanatics in service to a kleptocracy. That's definitely Satanic.

I will give you this much: If you believe in God and Satan, and you see a religion that has removed all of the normal values espoused by Jesus and any number of other religious figures, and replaced them with meaningless nonsense, anger and hatred, you really have to ask yourself which one of those guys is behind it all. Jesus himself talked about Satan disguising himself as a good guy, after all.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
