| The problem w/ quotes on the internet is half the time they are made up - Honest Abraham Lincoln |
So here are (some of) the brazen Republican Lies around the 4th of July;
Phony Founding Fathers quotes has been a rightwing cottage industry since the 1950's, as Republicans sought to ground their bigotry, hatred, and christian fascism in historical precedent.
So, it's no surprise that the Coward Josh Hawley, would use one from a Segregationist group. After all, most Americans only know Patrick Henry as, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death."
Hawley is ostensibly an Honors Graduate... from Stanford... in History, and yet he can't see the verbiage in this "quote" is ahistorical and would never have been uttered by someone born and educated in the later 18th century? Now, it's been pointed out to me that Hawley most assuredly doesn't run his Twitter account and this is, most likely, the work of some low-level 20something staffer but, that feels far too generous for a Coward who fomented insurrection against his own Nation and Government.
Of course, much worse than these Republicans who invent Dragon's Teeth and other lies about 'An Armed Populace' was the Supreme Court ruling on Fash Colorado Karen's refusal to make a Gay Website. No one ever requested she make the website. Instead, the Mom for Hitler Lorrie Smith in Colorado completely made up the story that she received a request to make a gay wedding website in 2017. But, the bigoted Faux News watching cranks on the Supremacist Court couldn't be bothered to check if the entire edifice they built their Lie upon had no foundation because Fuck You, that's Why and after all the Republican Justices were too busy taking million dollar vacations with their Billionaire benefactors to care.
In Oklahoma, some pencil-dicked dweeb named Ryan Walters won the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State receiving 650,000 votes (57%) of the vote in 2022. Oklahoma would of course be better off if Walters stuck his thin dick into a pencil sharpener instead of ruining the state. Asked about the teaching of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, when white conservatives slaughtered dozens of black persons, wounded a thousand more, and burned the black owned and operated Greenwood District of Tulsa, Walters responded that race shouldn't be considered, mentioned, or taught in conjunction with what his fore-bearers did in destroying the "Black Wall Street".
“I would never tell a kid that because of your race, because of the color of your skin, or your gender or anything like that, you are less of a person or are inherently racist. That doesn’t mean you don’t judge the actions of individuals. Oh, you can. Absolutely, historically, you should. ‘This was right. This was wrong. They did this for this reason.’ But to say it was inherent in that because of their skin is where I say that is Critical Race Theory. You’re saying that race defines a person.”
At least we can tell by the content of Walters character he's a despicable bigot. As Patrick Henry actually said,
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
It's all day, everyday, everywhere, all at once. Republicans have already declared War on the US, Lies are merely one salient in the Republican Plan to destroy the United States. Unconstitutional SCOTUS ruling are another. But, the goal of the Republican Party is nothing less than to destroy this Nation and replace it with a NeoConfederate Dominionist Hellscape of Bigotry, Oppression, Hatred, and Rule by the Rich. We all wish it were not true and many act as though Republicans & Rightwingers won't follow the pattern of all Totalitarian Regimes but, no matter the outcome of 2024, Republicans are primed for violence and awaiting the Orders.
