Thank You Sam Alito & SCOTUS!

You Did What No One Else Has Done; United the Democrats!

As I have often said, the Supreme Court of the United States isn’t populated with judges on the Conservative side; it’s populated with political operatives. When John Roberts is the moderate you know you’re in deep doo-doo when it comes to rights. Remember Roberts, (along with Ted Cruz), was one of the crooks in Florida in 2000 trying to shut down the vote so George W. Bush could steal the election which, of course, he did. This SCOTUS has taken away any sense of safety we once had because of their abhorrent and false interpretation of the Second Amendment, scraped the Voting Rights Act giving license to the GOP to pass laws almost exclusively aimed at keeping minorities from the polls, and stripped a woman’s right to manage her own body and healthcare. This seems to be the “final straw” for many if not most American voters, repeatedly certified by the voters in states where abortion is now actually baked into the state constitutions by referendum. It appears that the “Freedom Party” is the party that actually strips our rights away, and in a way that the people of United States adamantly oppose. Under their egregious oversight the government will decide what you can and cannot read, what can and cannot be taught in our schools, and whether a woman would be granted rights to decide their own healthcare. For a political party that’s been decrying “small government” and working to minimize the effect of big government on our personal lives, this seems to be the very opposite of their political rhetoric. I cannot think of a more oppressive big government idea than having the state decide what we can read or how a woman manages her own body. Thankfully the repeal of the Roe v Wade by the “best Supreme Court that money can buy” seems to have been the move that awakened the “Sleeping Giant” that is the US voter.

The problem with this court is their fanatical belief in their religious dogma which they now seem hell-bent on imposing upon the rest of us whether we like it or not and a plurality of Americans are saying they do not like it at all. They seem to be genuine theocrats looking to impose the Bible into our laws. For all their screaming about the “impending“ imposition of Sharia law during the Obama administrations, it seems as though it’s quite another story as long as it’s the Judeo-Christian law being imposed.

But let’s give the devil his due, Samuel Alito and the Conservative Theocrats on the court have done what no one else has been able to do, i.e., unite the herd of cats that is the Democratic Party. This, coupled with the myriad clips of Donald Trump gloating over his single-handedly overturning Roe v Wade, should all but put the cherry on Joe Biden’s second presidential run. You should be prepared to see those clips over and over again in 2024.

Thank you, Samuel Alito, et al. We’ll see you all next November.

Christian Persecution?

Wait Until You See The Persecution They Perpetrate Given The Power To do So!

Listen to Christian radio and you will hear an awful lot of lying; from what the Bible says and means to the so-called persecution of Christians around the world. I try and listen to it everyday, at least for a while, to understand how they still are able to sell this mythological nonsense to the sleepy-sheep at large and in the 21st century. It is mind boggling. Often I think the speaker is either lying or doesn’t know his real scripture and, of course, his audience doesn’t know theirs at all, making things much easier. But the real threat coming from the delusional mythology crowd has to do with their intrusion into our government and their (phony) insistence that the United Stated was founded as a Christian nation which, of course we know, it was not. If there is anything about our history – our real history, not the “cooked-up”, white-washed nonsense they’d have you believe – it is absolutely clear that we are no friend of any deity’s.

Look at the absolute chaos and cruelty they have already perpetrated just with their new abortion laws; and this despite the facts that a majority of Americans believe that abortion services should continue to be available. Pregnant ten year olds forced to have the child of a rapist or a parent, women forced to carry an underdeveloped fetus to term knowing it will not survive after birth. Doctors refusing to conduct the procedure, not because they don’t believe an abortion is necessary or warranted, but because they are afraid of the legal ramifications brought on by the phony-baloney fundamentalists and conservatives. Look up the recent case of Milo in the papers and see how both the child and the parents suffered through the process; the child struggling to breathe (the poor babe never even cried) and the parents left to hold him until he expired 99 minutes later. I wonder how the doctors felt about having to put the unfortunate family into the senseless and cruel despair their actions propagated. “First Do No Harm?” Again, it is not enough for them to live by their own mindless sensibilities, we ALL have to be subjected to them as well. (Oh, wait, I forgot; we have their thoughts and prayers to get us through. Well, you know what you can do with their specious “thoughts ands prayers”.)

And this is just the beginning. You can bet there will be MUCH more in store for us as they continue their unconstitutional trek towards a theocracy. Keep in mind that whatever persecution Christians were subjected to in the first couple of centuries of their existence (nothing like they assert, they are many sources to confirm this) pales in comparison to the mind-boggling numbers of those tortured, murdered, executed, and exiled in vast numbers after Christianity became the new game in town. Entire towns, villages or faiths exterminated for having a different belief – sometimes only a slightly so – as soon as the new power holders took over. No one kills like those in the name of a god. Just crack open a religious history book, probably one of those banned from their libraries, and you will see what I mean.

From banning LGBTQ+ and transgender individuals from healthcare and other societal privileges, to banning books they just don’t want anyone to read, to forging a minority rule whereby they can implement a theocracy, you can believe we are just on the precipice. If we don’t fight this vehemently we will lose our democracy, our freedoms, our country.

More Blood & Tragedy From The Religious Fanatics

This is the kind of cruelty and ignorance we have look forward to as the religious right imposes their belief system on the rest of us.

In what must be one of the cruelest episodes related directly to the unyielding and narrow-mindedness of the religious fanatics of the right, I had difficulty composing myself while sitting in a local diner and reading this story in the WaPo. I feel compelled to point out that it is precisely this kind of ignorant, cruel, legislation that we will (all) have to live with as the religious right and their minions on the SCOTUS continue get their hooks into the American justice system in this country. Religion is the absolute pinnacle of ignorance and the imposition of their will on to the American public will only bring further regressive and extremist laws imposed upon an unwilling and majority of Americans. This is what we will all have to look forward to all because of their imaginary deity and his cruel, inhumane demands.

As I realize this is not easy to read or hear, I believe it is necessary for all to understand that this is the AmeriKa they will force upon us as a result of their fanatical desire for power.
