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.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
