I find J.D. Vance a pitiable man (but my sympathy for his plight doesn't excuse his support of Fascism)

J.D. really did nail the 
come fvck me look
in this picture
I had to change the title of this post after the recent revelations that J.D. Vance enjoyed dressing in drag.  I had originally entitled this: Jesse Ventura body-slams Just Dishonorable Vance as Republicans ratchet up their smear campaign on VP Tim Walz.  As former Governor Ventura had done several interviews calling out Vance for his disgraceful attacks on Walz's service record.

But now...

Sigh...  look I am very sorry Vance can not, whether through fear or naked ambition, live the way he apparently wished to;  but, my sympathy for him ends when he chooses a course of action to take away other peoples' freedom to live their lives as they see fit.

Between changing his name and religion and outlook on society multiple times, J.D. Vance seemed to really suffer from that millennial manhood malaise.  Vance, like many men of his generation, doesn't know what it means to be a man;  he tried to find it in the Marines, he tried to find it at Yale, he tried to find it in the catharsis of a New York Times bestseller, he tried to find it as a reactionary catholic convert, he tried to find it as a husband and father, and now he's trying to find it as a pure MAGA Fascist.

But, not knowing what it is to be a man, feeling rudderless, and questioning his identity are not the problem, the problem is he gloomed onto the worst fucking person in modern America and attached himself to the MAGA Fascist movement.

Instead, Vance has aligned himself with the vicious and hateful, and a man who promises to eradicate Transgender day one and whose policy platform laid out in Project 2025, would subject LGBTQ Americans to invasive and draconian abuse from the Federal Government.

Vance is just a sad, sad man... 

But, what are the Republicans going to do?  I think they are going to play this off as The Left being the intolerant ones and claim Vance was just playing around and this is a distraction from the real issues.  Unfortunately, the real issue is Vance is a raging hypocrite and if he were to attain office (with Trump) he will use the Awesome Power of Government to imprison, medically castrate, and kill innocent people.

This campaign season has everything the political press could ever want.  Twists and turns, drama, an association attempt, and now unexpected revelations.

Original Post follows:

Republicans continue to smear Vice President Tim Walz.  I understand why; they have nothing to run on.  Traitor Trump continues to his rapid descent into syphilitic madness railing about AI generated crowds after listening to the fantasies of his advisor Dinesh DSouza, inventing stories of near-death Helicopter rides, and making claims so fanatical that even his loving Corporate Media has to tepidly state they are not true.

Remember this all stems from the Republican lies about Iraq.  Tim Walz served in the Minnesota National Guard, not the regular Army.  This deployment the lying Republicans claim is "Stolen Valor" happened a full 2 years after the Infamous Mission Accomplished, flight suit bulge from W(orst President Ever).  Because of the Iraq War lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction and the rightwing plan to use the Iraq War for stealing money from the American people, Bush needed to send National Guardsmen into the theatre, which he accomplished with an executive order.  Nor did future Vice President Walz claim to or implied to have served in Iraq or Afghanistan this is just straight up lying and taking out sections of a speech Walz did as a congressman and claiming he said he served at Bagram Air Base. 

Republicans believe, perhaps correctly, that if they just continue to smear, slander, lie, and Swift Boat Tim Walz eventually the media will pick up the baton and run with it as they've done in the past with Hillary's emails, Benghazi, and the Swift Boating of John Kerry in 2004.  So, it should be no surprise that they strategist for Just Dishonorable Vance was Chris LaCivita who led the attack on John Kerry.

I hope he got his 40 pieces of silver 
Elon Musk Fascist Twitter is just rife with Republicans posting and reposting each other's lies and false narratives about Tim Walz and then seeing Bots and Nazis amplify it.  Republicans have always engaged in incestuous amplification (that's how we got the Phony Global war on Terror in the first place) and convincing themselves that their weird ideas and lies are reality.

As of right now the Corporate Media has covered and debunked the lies coming from Republicans.  And given enough time Republicans may be able to make their lies stick.  After all as Kevin McCarthy noted in 2016, Republican lies and attacks on Hillary Clinton before that election brought her favorables down and the 25 years of slander rightwingers had done on HRC had seeded the narrative.  However, Social Media these days aren't dominated by credulous Boomers reposting Russian disinformation and regurgitating the shit Racist Limpballs used to spew daily.

Goebbels Miller was born in 1985 and didn't serve
It’s fascinating to see the cavalcade of  Couchborne conservative Chickenhawks return to the roost of loving the Iraq War.  I only read these weird assholes on Nitter.poast.org

Remember all these right wingers pushing the Stolen Valor smear of Vice President Tim Walz abstained from serving in the military during George W(orst POTUS) Bush's war crime in Iraq and folly in Afghanistan.  Ben SShapiro's twitter is weirdo foot fetish Ben sharing random X accounts attacks on Tim Walz.

Perhaps, it doesn't matter anymore.  It's not 2004 anymore, Republicans have steadily confined themselves to speaking to each other and have created an alternate reality for themselves where they share these things.  And as the Boomers move closer and closer to extinction they aren't being exposed to the utter insular weirdness of rightwing twitter which is creating memes of Tim Walz drinking horse cum...

Traitor Trump's syphilitic brain is jello, he doesn't know who he's facing in the Election; but he guarantees his followers he'll Destroy America

Thank goodness Kamala Harris is going to be President because Traitor Trump is panicking and is willing to promise anything, say anything, and do anything to get people to vote for him.

Trump may not know who he’s running against but he promised to destroy the United States of America 

"Christians get out and vote. Just this time.  You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians and I'm not a Christian. I love you, you got to get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not going to have to vote."

Trump's beautiful christians threw themselves at the feet of the Antichrist, turned their backs on Jesus and his message, and yearn to be granted the go ahead to engage in murderous bloodlust against all their enemies. 

"We'll have it fixed so good..."  Surely This Scandal will end his political career.  Look, you understand how this works.  Trump says something so extreme and if it gets pushback, his marketing team massages it into lies spread by the Fake News and if it gets traction he quintuples down on the message.  And anyone who dares to speak out against Criminal Donald Trump receives Death Threats and Harassment until they silence themselves.  With Trump's latest declaration of his Dictatorship, MAGA media will claim he meant after his election win you won't have to vote for him a 4th time. Of course, the Corporate Media will never call for Trump to withdraw based on his compete lack of coherence and Nazi style rhetoric.

Stop giving this fucking criminal rapist racist traitor the benefit of the doubt.  Trump means what he says, his jello-brain means he no longer has the filter which made him sound at least a little sane or sensible years ago.  Trump is fully into sundowning Alzheimer's now.  He says exactly what he means;  Traitor Trump is already on record claiming his first Term didn't count because the Democrats were mean to him.  And obviously even though he won the 2020 election (He Didn't) that doesn't count.  So this election is really his first.  Trump plans to be a Dictator who will never leave the White House.

And understand, the Heritage Foundation, and numerous other Reactionary rightwing groups, and elected Republicans at all levels of Government are working on curtailing voting for more than they already have.  So, yes Trump is saying you won't have to vote again because Republicans will make sure voting isn't something Democrats, liberals, or the other get to do anymore.  

But, as Trump's lack of a verbal filter, full-blown cognitive decline, repeated speaking glitches, and total lack mental competence are now readily apparent; the salient question is why is the Corporate Media silent?  Where are the dozens of daily stories and Op-Eds picking apart everything foible, misspeak, verbal gaffe for Traitor Trump?  Let alone, Trump openly saying he'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote anymore as Trump will be the final President in American history.

The answers are easy;  Reactionary MAGA doesn't care.  Or more accurately, conservatives reveal in the power Trump grants them.  Trump promises them the power and freedom to be their most vile wretched selves and as we've seen in their racist misogynist response to soon-to-be President Kamala Harris they are wallowing in their wretchedness.

And the Corporate Media has always held Trump to no standards at all (Still waiting on the Epstein Documents to be discussed by the so-called Fourth Estate) so I don't expect the Media to call on Trump to drop out because he's thoroughly mentally incompetent.  But, as important the Plutocratic owners of the Media want Trump to be President because they know he will slash taxes, allow them to freely manipulate capital markets, speculate wildly, ignore Federal regulations, and aggregate more wealth in power in their hands.

So, don't expect the FTFNYT to run a story calling for Trump to withdraw or calling for "sane" Republicans to rescind his nomination.  The New York Times is fully in Trump's camp(s) and Republicans are wholly sworn to MAGA body and "soul".

Trump confused Nikki Haley with Vice President Kamala Harris.  Trump described the long sought Republican Party plan to raise retirement age so, Republicans and their Plutocratic Owners can steal social security from the American people, and claimed Vice President Kamala Harris supported it, instead of Nikki Haley.  Now, this could be garden variety lying but, the most likely, explanation is Trump can't tell one haughty Indian woman challenging him from another.  Hilariously Haley Voters for Harris, a super PAC which supported Haley over Traitor Trump in the Republican Primaries, told Nikki to eat it when she demanded they stop using her name.  Too bad Nikki, also a candidate coordinating with a PAC is illegal according to campaign finance rules so Nikki better stop telling the PAC what to do!

David Pakman came up with a good explanation why Jello-Brained Trump keeps invoking Hannibal Lecter.  Pakman theorizes Trump recalls the out-dated term "Insane Asylum" and then upon learning migrants are coming to the United States for "asylum" his jello-brain mashes the two things together.  Or it could just be racism.

Childish criminal Trump continues to mispronounce Vice President Kamala Harris' first name.  This is, of course, intentional. 

Despite, the outstanding success of the White Women:Answer the Call Zoom call I have almost no faith in white women voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, white women have had 2 previous elections to get it right and we've seen Trump for years now.  This isn't new.  If white women were going to reject Trump's vile bigotry, grotesque sexism, his disrespectful meanness, his hatred, his convictions for rape and theft they'd have done so by now.  His latest tirades of sexist bigotry and confused Fascist screeds aren't likely to sway them.

The choice is clear as it is frightening; a mentally deranged, authoritarian wannabe Hitler loving Donald Trump and his gang of murderous thugs or the genuine moral, decent, capable, strength of Kamala Harris and the executive branch She and President Biden assembled.

We aren't going back.  Kamala Harris is going to be President.  Let's Fucking Go!

The Staging Grounds IV: It's going to be a Bloodbath

“Andrew Jackson as president was treated the absolute worst and I heard Abraham Lincoln was second but he was in this thing called the Civil War, so you can understand that.  But I said there’s no I don’t care Andrew Jackson or anybody else. Nobody is treat… when you think of the fake things. Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly.” Delusional Paranoid Dementia Donald

    During his glitchy incoherent rants, demented fascist Trump has taken to making the most ludicrous declarations of his Presidency.  Everything was the greatest of all time.  Everything was the best it ever was.  Everything was perfect.  He did the most for whatever group he's speaking too.  And everything immediately went to hell because you stole the Presidency from him.  It's the final culmination of rightwing propaganda.  It's the Ultimate expression of the Gish Gallop.  But, it's not like the Corporate Media cares to fact check, correct, or call Trump what he actually is because the Legacy Media take their cues and stories from the rightwing media and frame everything through the lens of Republican bullshit.

The Corporate Media coverage of Trump has been shamelessly inadequate for years now and it won't get better anytime soon.

I can not imagine the media BREAKING NEWS shit storm if Vice President Kamala Harris declined to endorse the President the way Mike Pence declined to endorse Trump.

It would be a monumental story of unimaginable magnitude!  Not only would signal the end of Joe Biden's career but it would be no less than a harbinger of the end of the Democratic Party.  It would be lead News Story until such time as a new candidate for President managed to emerge, whom the Corporate Media would waste no time in declaring dead on arrival as they publish 'Oh well wait till next year' news stories and circulate DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY, as the Media celebrates the coming Republican trifecta control of every single branch of the Federal Government. 

And yet... Trump and Pence is not even a two-day blurb.  

No one is coming to save us.  The media's job is to help Trump and that they will do it with every bit of chicanery, sagacious false concern, and amplification of Republican ratfucking necessary.

It was noted that in the week following the Hur Hatchet Report, the Washington Post and New York Times ran 70+ news stories on Joe Biden's Age, as every media outlet ran articles based on the one sentence Hur released.  So-called savvy pundits were plotting a brokered convention and a swapping out of candidates.

The pampered and petulant Uncommitted "protest" votes gains outsized attentional at every opportunity.

RFK Jr is still receiving coverage despite the fact his prime choice for running mate, Aaron Rodgers, is such a MAGA meatball he adheres to as many rightwing conspiracy theories as the number of times he's beaten the Chicago Bears. 

Trump is all in on the Fear & Anger stimulus response.  


"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it," he added. "It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."

So, after Trump invoked the words "bloodbath" 
the Corporate Media rushed to clean up Trump's fascist drivel as they always do.  And Trump's team rushed to make sure the story wasn't "the Bloodbath" but, instead was understood in the proper context, 

“Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers.”

It's the old Karl Rove playbook of attacking your opponent's strength as a weakness.  But, remember this tactic only works if the compliant Corporate Media uncritically plays along.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal." - as always Trump wants to have it both ways and the media lets him get away with it, he's great friends with President Xi even though he's super hard on Xi and kept China in their place with the Art of the Deal.

Trump then claimed he'll protect Social Security and Medicare (a scant week after he admitted he'll cut "entitlements") and if he loses the election you're not going to get another one.  IMAX doesn't have a screen big enough to capture the Projection.

You could claim "Bloodbath" is just a new variation of the American Carnage speech Trump has given before but, at this point there is no reason anyone should give Traitor Trump the benefit of the doubt about the intentions of the Republicans should they get back into the White House in 2025.  Trump absolutely means violence.

When people say this election is the most important in our lifetimes, cynical pundits like to roll their eyes and dismiss peoples' concerns.  But, those people know they won't be at risk or will even benefit from the Vile Republican 2025 Agenda.  Ben S Shapiro, one day after proclaiming Americans should never be able to retire and should be worked to death, declared he crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump. 

Trump told his crowd that immigrants aren't people,

“I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

It's quite clear what Trump and his gaggle of bloodthirsty lieutenants want if he steals back into the White House.  Most likely, they would come for migrants and Trans persons first.  It's questionable whether the American people would allow that but, the thing with Fascist Pogroms is once they are started they gain a momentum all their own.  

It's up to you to vote, to encourage others, to canvas, call or help out in every way conceivable.  The Republican Party sees a singular opportunity coalescing in 2024; a chance to forcibly install a Fascist Fundamentalist Theocracy, eliminate millions, and gut American Democracy for generations.

No one is coming to save Us.  No 14th Amendment trick will make Trump not the Republican candidate.  No Judge wants to convict Trump prior to the Election.  The Corporate Media will not accurately contextual the threat facing Us.  It's up to us to save ourselves and our very lives because if this iteration of the Republican Party gets into Power they will be coming for them.

Additional:

As if to make my point about Corporate Media obsequious deference and nefarious allegiance to Trump Queen Bigot and pampered rich white lady Kathleen Parker has a story out about how someone should drop out of this race for the sake of the Nation;  KAMALA HARRIS!

The Vibes Economy 1: Beef it's for Christmas dinner unless you're Jason "Storm Chaser" Nelson of Texass

There's a stupid joke I remember riffing on the Teach a man to fish parable that adds this bon mot;

Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he eats steak...

On Christmas Eve, an All-Hat, No-Cattle Texas right-winger who claims to be 100% permanently disabled, named Jason Nelson posted an X-Tweet about the outrageous price of Prime Rib, 

No response from Nelson
$313.52!!!

Like all outrages from Republicans it's done in such Bad Faith you'd think Jesus would strike down all these modern day Pharisees.  But, since Jesus is busy being blown apart by the IDF in Gaza it was up to the remaining Twitter fighters to drag Nelson.  For instance, he  elided the fact it was a 16.51lb prime rib with 7 ribs attached or $18.99 a pound.  When this and other responses undercutting his bullshit was pointed out to him Nelson decided to Just Tweet through it and responded with spite, vitriol, childish your mom style insults.

Now, I am gladdened that Nelson spent his Christmas angry and upset, and not paying attention to his wife and 4 children, and instead responded to everyone who rightly questioned his bullshit. But, interestingly Nelson didn't respond to the people who absolutely dragged him for what he does as a side-business; selling freeze-dried beef at over $50-a-pound.

No response from Nelson
I've known a couple of dishonorable veterans who gamed the system to get a disability rating from the VA.  Did Nelson do this to get a 100% disabled rating?  Well, going by his disingenuous (at best) tweets and the bevy of other falsehoods he spouts it lends credence to the idea that Jason Nelson is lying about his "disability".

I also look askew at any Veteran who self-proclaims to be "highly decorated" while also having changed branches of service.  Nelson's pathetically failed congressional candidacy includes a picture of him as an Army Staff Sergeant.  And he might have had a completely honorable very brave time in the service.  But, I highly doubt it.  Nelson has signed himself up to be a solider in The Lost Cause, the eternal War on America conservatives gleefully sign up for.

It shows how much the Rightwing Media Chamber and propaganda comapign of the Republicans has warped and distorted the minds of so many, especially white men in America.  Nelson thought he'd be a good foot solider for the Republicans and fire a salvo in the Bideneconomics battle.  

It shows us that these people are not reachable.  Nelson spent his Christmas attacking libtards, #OwningtheLibs, and was ecstatic that Newsweek wrote a piece about him.  Don't waste your time trying to change their minds.  We have to utterly defeat the vile evil lying Fascist wannabes like Jason Nelson, because what they have in mind if they secure power is nothing less than the End of the United States and the ushering in of a NeoConfederate Slave State held aloft be the pillars of White Power and Fascist Fundamentalism.

Understanding the power of Patriarchy, Sarah Polley's Run Towards the Danger

"I do trust women enough to control when they allow a man to ejaculate inside of them and to control that intake of semen." Patriarchy Bootlicker Karianne Lisbonbee (Utah Republican ); Todd Akin's Legitimate Rape only applies to women who are killed by their attackers, these days to Rape-publicans there is no such thing as sexual assaults; if you're still alive then you encouraged and enjoyed it.

In Sarah Polley's autobiography, Run Towards the Danger she lays out the horrific sexual assault she suffered at age 16 at the hands of Jian Ghomeshi.

Sexual Assault is a hole in the criminal justice system.  I don't mean loophole but, the very nature of the criminal justice system (from beginning to end) puts the woman or women on trial because they are the only ones willing to talk therefore their claims are the ones put under, often brutal, examination.  Polley also talks about how she received a lot of advice not to come forward because women find themselves destroyed for coming forward.

Now, the right to not be compelled to speak or testify against oneself when accused is an important protection necessary to keep this Nation or any Democracy from sliding into authoritarianism.  Of course, it is a right which really doesn't matter for people in the lower economic conditions or minorities.  In their case, the Court system is designed and implemented to railroad them through as quickly as possible so other minorities or economically disadvantaged people can also be railroaded.  

The fact the same people who say you can not trust the government absolutely and totally accept every Police report of every extrajudicial killing of a black person, without fail, undermines their so-called distrust of authority.

The same people who wear Daddy rules for dating my daughter t-shirts or loved Brian Kemp pointing a shotgun at his daughter's boyfriend invariably and always say that bitch is lying when a man is accused of rape or faces several accusations.

Matt Gaetz the prototypical child raping drunk driving 
traitorous fat face of white male privilege and patriarchy
The same people who say we need guns everywhere for self-defense say women are liars about most men being sexual predators and will always defend men charged with Rape or sexual abuse (provided they are the right sort of men like Roy Moore, child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, or Donald Trump i.e. full-throated defenders of rightwing ideology).

The same people who declare the world is dangerous and full of wolves, sheep, and sheep dogs declare the rape of a 10 year old was 100% a leftist hoax and make those claims openly and defiantly on Faux News.

The same people who claim to want to defend the children absolutely adore Lauren Boebert even as she writes about her husband cornering a group of little girls and exposing his dick to them.  Lauren Boebert defended her dick flashing husband, in her book, by claiming the little girls where asking for it.  

Boebert's tight hooker dress & gross exaggerated femininity
gains her the protection of the Patriarchy
But, what Lauren Boebert is doing in her book is work feverishly to defend the Patriarchy.  White women like Boebert derive their power from the Patriarchy, just as her intellectual forebearers like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Supreme Court Justice Ginni Thomas, stretching back to Phyllis Schlafly did.  Additionally, non-white men and women can be afforded the protective blanket of the Patriarchy as long as the tout Republican (i.e. white male) supremacy (think Dinesh Dsouza or Candace Owens).

These people, like Boebert, like any of the vicious Trump-loving white women spend all day, everyday adopting extreme anti-woke, anti-CRT, anti-Cancel Culture positions often in the face of direct evidence.  The only way I can reconcile all of this is the patriarchy.  The patriarchy is threatened by Wokeness, by CRT, by Cancel Culture, by liberated women.  And therefore the white women who occupy a special niche just below men, but well above everyone else, in the Patriarchy are threatened as well so what we are witnessing is their vicious Reaction to liberalism, freedom, and equality.  

MAGA and Trumpism is a clear manifestation of The White Male Patriarchy.  But, the patriarchy's roots go back to the founding of the Nation and experienced a revival in the early 20th century with the creationism of Fascism.  Even, white men not normally associated with ULTRA-MAGA beliefs benefit from the cocoon of privilege from the White Male Patriarchy.  Sarah Polley laid out the horrors of the  monstrous production of the 1988 Terry Gilliam film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.  Polley talks extensively about being placed, as an 8 year old, in dangerous situations and having no one consistently looking out for her well-being.  Polley describes her lifetime fear of slamming car doors and is describing the aftereffects of trauma which often manifests as PTSD. Gilliam was 48 at the time coming off the "genius film" Brazil (1985) and Time Bandits (1982) and of course Monty Python, so he was afforded wide latitude even as the film spiraled out of control.  Years later Gilliam defended himself to Polley by claiming she seemed so mature for her age.  Gross, but also indicative of what every white male patriarch sees in his privileged world view.  A world which never asks him to temper his "genius" or limit his appetites or see the world through someone else's eyes.

But, if you speak out against the Patriarchy and Rightwing ideology well then you've abrogated your position and will be hounded and threatened (as Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger can attest) or steadily ridiculed, insulted, and reduced to secondary citizens (as Texas Log Cabin Republicans found out in June) because as the current rightwing aphorism goes, 'Get Woke Go Broke'.

The Lawless Court of Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barret, and John Roberts just launched Civil War 2.0

You already know what happened; 6 Republicans choose Violence and decided that Women are second-class citizens at best.  Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) were abolished by the six lying Reactionaries on the Supreme Court.

The Sinister Six Injustices are an out-of-control Star Chamber.  Flush with the power of a 6-3 advantage (As should be noted the Constitution makes no reference to 9 Judges and indeed the Original Text makes no reference to a set number of Judges when it refers to the One Supreme Court of the land) this lawless bunch of Reactionary fascists will strike down anything which impedes their push to destroy the United States of America and replace it with a Theocratic White Power Fascist Nation-State.

Protests have begun and will continue throughout the summer months, but conservatives of course expect them to peter out as Americans move on with their daily routines but, before then Republican states gave the go ahead to rightwing domestic terrorists to run down the protestors and in Cedar Rapids, Iowa a white conservative driving his F-150 RAPTOR took the opportunity to run over two women.

Already, somewhere a Kyle Rittenhouse clone is oiling up his manhood and preparing to bag a couple of Sluts since it's Open Season on women in America.

Make no mistake this Lawless Unjust Court struck down Roe and Casey with an eye to killing women, but Americans have succumbed to the tactics of stochastic terrorism;  certainly some women will die they tell themselves but the likelihood that it is someone I know is exceedingly small so therefore I don't care.

But, for Sammy di Puzzi Alito, Amy Coathanger Bear-it, Neil Gosuck, Boofer O'Kavanugh, Ginni Thomas, and John Radical Roberts deaths and misery because of this 6-3 decision and the 6-3 decision striking down a 1913 Gun Control Law in New York area feature, not a bug.  Republicans look forward to people dying because of their governance, Republicans have nothing to offer the American people but Death & Taxes.

It's hard not to be discouraged and defeatist, it's hard not too lash out and blame the BernieBros and Susan Sarandon and curse the rotten luck of RBG dying when she did and the machinations of Mitch McConnell but, we can't allow ourselves to be defeated even before we fight back, that's how fascists win most of the time by applying power to you and making you give up.

Certainly, worry about what future unjust decisions the Sinister Six will deliver as Thomas wrote an extra assholish addendum telling conservatives to bring challenges to birth control and same sex marriage.  But, don't get wrapped up in nightmare scenarios of State Police in Iowa or Missouri, Oklahoma or Texas waiting to arrest women at the border for crossing into an abortion state.

Voting is not enough, it's necessary and needed to overcome the built-in advantage conservatives have, besides the voting suppression and gerrymandering but, make plans for how you can help.  Be a helper because Republicans have chosen Violence.  Of all kinds.  

Be prepared...

There's more than corn in Indiana, there's also the Right-to-Discriminate and be a Christian Bigot (Updated)

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall! - In the Flesh , Pink Floyd, The Wall (1979). Adopted by the Indiana Republicans as marching orders.
Republicans are going to force you to become christians. Not "Papists" mind you, because as Sarah Palin elucidated, Pope Francis sounds "too liberal" and the Republicans in Congress cancelled a Ceremonial Bill honoring the Pontiff because his Papal pronouncements too closely aligned with President Obama.

Now, we've listened to Phil Robertson fantasize about a horrific torture/murder spree he'd like to unleash on atheists which included raping little girls, beheading women and cutting dicks off now we have the Indiana Republicans and Republican Governor Mike Pence ramming through a Religious Discrimination Bill.

98 of the 103 Republicans in the Indiana State Legislature voted to allow Christian Bigots to discriminate against you because they feel like it. Like all illegal shameful laws passed, Governor Pence could not do this in the light of day but, had to slink into a secret room to affix his signature to the euphemistically titled Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

We've seen the Hobby Lobby Scotus decision empower business owners to dictate what you can and can not do with your healthcare, opening the floodgates for religious bigots to be able to tell you that you can not use your salary, your pay, or your benefits as you see fit.

This isn't about restoring the free exercise of religion or what a person does in the privacy of their own home or the practices of their church but, another step towards allowing businesses to discriminate.

The unfortunate truth is if you wish to operate a company in America you need to accept each and every customer regardless of whether you agree or disagree with their personal beliefs. You recall all the onerous regulations stifling business according to republicans? The Civil Rights Act of 1968 which outlawed Discrimination is what Republicans and Conservatives find onerous.

And what the Republicans are doing through the passage of these Unconstitutional and Illegal Laws is to build a case brick by bigoted brick to eliminate The Civil Rights Act.

As more laws are passed its getting closer and closer to the day when the political system which comes wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross triumphantly lays claim to the United States.

Update:
Fortunately, there has been a strong push back on Twitter/Facebook and On-line. Unfortunately, what the Clicktavists don't understand is Republicans Do. Not. Care. because they know most people don't vote and even if one Republican (Mike Pence, for instance) loses his position in Government a whole cadre of Republican stand ready to use the Awesome Power of Government to enforce their Bigotry.

Update 2:
So, a Right-Winger in Arizona pushed for mandatory church attendence across the Nation. Big Deal, you might think, until you realize the Right-Winger is an elected State Congresswoman who is willing to use the Power of Government to force you to attend a church.

Then again you might shrug and dismiss it as some local po-dunk backwater Teabagger with little power until Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and 2016 Presidential Aspirant has called for a Big christian Tent Revival to regain America's lost morality.

Republicans will Force you to attend Church, adopt a Religion, and if you don't they will Kill You (Updated)

"Let me be clear: Americans have freedom of religion - not freedom from religion." - Republican Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas.
When Republicans are asked difficult questions about their positions on the EPA, spending for Infrastructure, rebuilding the American Power Grid, or other topics; they like to dodge and proclaim 'I am not a scientist or engineer,' but what they do like to pretend to be knowledgeable about is religion. And it doesn't matter what religion, Republicans consider themselves to be unassailable experts with a direct line to god.
"There would be less cancer, less disease, and aids and diabetes in this country if people would simply pray. God blesses the righteous with good health and curses the immoral with sickness," Republican Senator Rafael 'Ted' Cruz, CPAC 2015.
So, of course Republicans feel perfectly justified trying to force religion down the throats of all Americans yet again! And they will use the Awesome Power of Government to ensure that you adopt religion.

On March 18th, Congressman Johnson introduced H.R. 1425 Preserve and Protect God in Military Oaths Act, which would require a religious test for all Military Servicemen and force all Military Servicemembers to Pledge Allegiance to god. This is mainly in response to the Air Force Academy dropping the 'So help me god' part of the Oath in 2013 due to the tireless work of Mikey Weinstein and his Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

During the 1990s and the early years of the War on Terror, the Air Force Academy became a Christian Cult where roving gangs of Right-Wing Religious Fanatics would descend upon new cadets and force them into Evangelical Christianity, through coercion, intimidation and violence.

Republican are wholly owned by the Rich, but some Republicans are Christian Dominionists.
"I don’t believe in an America where the separation of Church and state is absolute. The idea that the Church can have no influence and no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country. This is the First Amendment. The First Amendment says the free exercise of religion." 2016 Republican Wannabe Rick Santorum's interpretation of the 1st Amendment is, of course, the direct opposite of it's stated mandate.
Republicans always try to downplay the conservative religious bigots who form the core of their party. But, while Republicans have thought they were using the religious loons to gain power, over the last 35 years, the Conservative Fanatics have become convinced the Party belongs to them.

And that is the Republican Party today. A party of Unscrupulous Rich Criminals, Bigots, and Religious Fanatics. There is no more moderate Republican. There is only the wild-eyed right-wing maniac.

Update:
Phil Robertson, not some fringe unknown conservative, but the 2015 CPAC Star Speaker and recent recipient of the Sarah Palin Lifetime Right-Wing Grifter Award, stated if Atheists don't adopt his religion he plans to rape their daughters, behead their wives, and slice off their penises, in order to teach them christianity.

Life and Liberty in America is for (Straight) Christians Only, everybody else can go to Hell

Right Wing Freedom of Religion is the freedom to use their Religion to impose their will upon all of Us. Because America is for Christians only.

The same mindset which fuels the Zealotry of the ISIS/ISIL fuels the Religious Loons in the United States.   It, of course, doesn't mean Americans Religious Nuts are the Same as the Islamic Religious Nuts because the muslim extremists are by far more honest and more open about their goals whereas the American extremists lie and try and use back-door illegal channels to get their Christian Fascism ensconced into Law.

Ben Sasse, the Republican nominee for US Senate in Nebraska believes, Religious Liberty gives him and other Christians total immunity to break laws with impunity.
Government cannot force Citizens to violate their religious beliefs under any circumstances...
Of course, we are talkin' bout Real Religion not "neo-pagan and polytheistic, pre-Christian deities,” and therefore it does not fall within “the Judeo-Christian tradition" distinction which Chesterfield County in Virginia proclaims are the only true religions and therefore the only ones allowed on their official county list.

Senator Orrin Hatch says if the SCOTUS doesn't give him the power to Oppress people using Religion he'll change the Constitution to make sure it does. 
"I hope the Supreme Court doesn’t screw that up is all I can say. Because if they foul up the First Amendment again, we are going to have a constitutional amendment," Senator Hatch said during a Memorial Day Speech, when asked about the pending Hobby Lobby Case before the Supreme Court.
These aren't fringe weirdos like Reverand Terry "Muttonchops" in Florida and his quran burning obsession. These are the erstwhile Leaders of the Republican Party elected to State and Federal Offices.

Republicans also routinely claim to be modern prophets. Ben Carson, claims The Lord GAWD had delivered unto him a message,
"I realized that God probably had something special he wanted me to say,” Carson explained. “But I didn’t know what it was until the morning of the prayer breakfast." 
"After a while of wrestling with it, I just said, I’m leaving it alone, the Lord will tell me what to say," he continued. "And that morning, it was so clear in my mind what I was supposed to say."
And that message? Healing the Sick? Helping the Poor? Aiding the Afflicted? Nope. America must have a Flat Tax!

Because Supply-Side Jesus teaches us, it is easier for a Rich Man to pass into Heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel than for a poor man to pass through the eye of a needle.

GOP Congressional Candidate James Lankford in Oklahoma has let it be known far and wide that Gawd Himself! has called upon him to run for the U.S. House. Now, how can you vote against a White Male Christian and consider yourself a good and true America? You can't libtard!

But, what this bible-thumping and proclamations of persecution leads to; is Violence in the name of the Lord.

The latest NRA-supported shooter of the 74 School Shootings since the Pro-2nd Amendment Massacre at Sandy Hook, Jared Padgett in Oregon was indoctrinated by Mormon Religious Fanatics and was highly regard by Church Elders for his spirituality.

He expressed his desire to cleanse the world of Sinners. Get 1000 of the same thinking types together, give them a Religious Demagogue to lead them and you have the ISIS/ISIL.

But, don't worry because before the Christian Zealots can begin their pogroms and attempted overthrow of the Government the Conservative Domestic Terrorists will have launched their Insurrection and attempted Coup.

From Right Wing Watch comes everybody's favorite fake Historian and Fabricator David Barton. Who explains how the bible teaches us to Vote based on Gawd's Top Ten List:

It's not called Sharia Law when Totalitarian Conservatives do it...

Republican controlled State Legislatures along with Republicans Peter King, Steve King, Roy Blunt, Mitch McConnell in the House and Senate and most of the stinking trash known as Right-Wingers were so frightened of Sharia Law being adopted in the US they held mulitiple tribunals and crafted legislation in over 20 states designed to make Sharia Law's adoption illegal.

Now we know why the Teahaddists were scared of a Sharia Law being forced upon the American people. The Totalitarian Conservative Christians were planning on forcing their silly religious precepts and Dominionist dogmas upon all of us as soon as they got the power.

The Republican Scum in the Federal Government are trying to force legislation through to establish Christian Fascist Religious control upon all Americas using Healthcare as their vehicle of conversion. Republican fanatic Roy Blunt proposed a "Religious Freedom" Rider onto a Transportation bill in the Senate.

Of course, the rider has nothing to do with a Transportation Bill but, Republicans are shameless in pushing their bigoted Totalitarian Control onto America. The amendment contains the following language:
While PPACA provides an exemption for some religious groups that object to participation in Government health programs generally, it does not allow purchasers, plan sponsors, and other stakeholders with religious or moral objections to specific items or services to decline providing or obtaining coverage of such items or services, or allow health care providers with such objections to decline to provide them.
So, if your employer is a right-winger who, ipso facto doesn't like women, and he "morally objects" to pap smears; Boom it's no longer covered for you. Roy Blunt and the 300 Republican bureaucrats in DC believe that your employer should be able to tell you, the American citizen what kind of healthcare you receive, based on his feelings...

Mitch McConnell braved the terrible Liberal Media on Sunday to tell CBS host Bob Schieffer, "This issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down." Bob Scieffer wanted to know if McConnell supported Blunt's Rider to allow any employer the "Right" to deny any coverage because of their moral feelings. McConnell of course replied, “Yeah,” McConnell admitted. “Of course, I’d be happy to support it and intend to support it."

So in Mitch McConnell's America if you work for a Christian Scientist who doesn't believe in blood transfusions then tough shit dude he can deny covering it. If you're working for a Scientologist who believes Lithium and any other drug designed to treat depression or psychotic mental problems are not effective because of his "serious moral concerns" boom you just lost healthcare coverage for those drugs.

President Obama's defense of woman's rights to healthcare and his incredibly crafty manuever is exposing us to the True Horror of Conservatism. The Right has fully embraced Totalitarianism and Religious Dictatorship.

We are in the age of Dominionism. Wherein the Totalitarian Right and their zealous Christian Fascists have decided to regain control of the Government through Terrorism and Religion.

Conservatives assassinate Doctors, Republicans push through legislation to deny Americans medical care, Totalitarian Right-Wingers redefine rape to punish victims and abolish basic human rights.

It's because the Right sees their control slipping. As soon as this Nation starts treating American as individuals and provides them Positive Liberties and Positive Rights the Totalitarian Republicans will be in danger of losing their power and ability to defend the 1% who use these social issues to divide and conquer.

The SS of the USMC

The "SS" logo flag in a photograph of the platoon 
taken in September 2010 in Helmand province.
United States Marine Corps Scout Snipers have used the distinctive Nazi SS Lightning Bolts as a Unit symbol. The Marines, in this photo, were members of Charlie Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, out of Camp Pendleton, California.

There is no way this is unintentional as the Marine Corps initial investigation claims,
“We don’t believe these Marine Corps snipers had a historical appreciation for what this symbol meant,” an unnamed USMC official said.
Marine Corps leadership also claims the Corps did not know until late last year,
The inspector general at I Marine Expeditionary Force at Pendleton was made aware of the “SS” flag photograph in November, said Capt. Gregory Wolf, a spokesman at Marine Corps headquarters.
Please recall Claire Danes in the Homeland episode The Weekend where she notices a tattoo on a seemingly normal looking guy in a backwater bar:
Danes:'88,' huh?
Neo-Nazi: Yeah, it’s my jersey number from high school.
Danes: Or code for HH. Eighth letter of the alphabet. 'Heil Hitler.'
Neo-Nazi: You’re not just a pretty face, are you?
Danes: You guys are White Nation, huh? That’s cool.
Neo-Nazi: It’s Aryan pride, baby.
It's a whistle. Gangs. White Supremacists. Christian Dominionists. They put these symbols out there because most of the world doesn't see them for what they are and when they do get caught there's plausiable deniability.

Service members are checked for tattoos and markings during their physicals. Every single member of that Battalion and every Marine Corps Scout Sniper (and DoD Service Member) should be checked for tattoos. Americans would be shocked at the number of Gang members and White Supremacists that are currently in the military.

This is what happens when the Military relaxes standards and looks obliquely past obvious warning signs to accommodate Chicken Hawk Republicans need for Glorious, Glorious War. Gang members, Militia members, White Supremacists, Christian Fascists, criminals have been inflitrating the military for the last decade in order to gain skills, training and inside knowledge of military workings to further their own goals in the US.

Tim Tebow throws Christopher Hitchens into the Lake of Fire

But! He overthrows him and Hitchens runs free and clear. "In whatever kind of 'race' life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist," Hitchens remarked last year upon learning he had cancer.

Christopher Hitchens passed away after a year and a half long battle with cancer. I read several of his works but, it's not like I knew him, so I can not say I'm sad. I enjoyed Hitchens passionate speaking and he struck me as what an erudite human can be given the access to and encouragement of higher education. I didn't like his Iraq War stance but I did love that he caused rabid American religious fascists mental consternation as they couldn't figure out how to reconcile his hatred of Islam with his hatred Christian Fascism.

However, it wouldn't be christian fascism if religious asses didn't use Hitchens' death as an opportunity to make smug statements about heaven and god.

Now, I shouldn't being making fun of Tim Tebow, for as much as I don't like his overt displays of piety at least he didn't use Hitchens' passing to make insulting comments about how Christopher is face-to-face with the almighty. Bill Bennett, supposedly a friend of Hitchens, didn't make a genteel statement or use the opportunity to say a short kind word. Nope Bennett, said, "And I hope as the big atheist that he was, he's in for a big surprise."

Classy. It's a standard move by right-wingers when someone they hate dies. It's a time for conservatives to level the most vicious insults at those who can no longer defend themselves. When Howard Zinn passed away in Jan 2010, NPR used the opportunity to get the raving flabby-assed, David Horowitz a reactionary chicken hawk anti-human punk ass bitch conservative who hates the poor and oppressed and loves war on to insult and slander Zinn preceisely because Howard Zinn fought for those crushed under the iron heel of anti-human conservatives.

However, Hitchens' passing highlight's one of the biggest problems I'm going to have when I prove there's no afterlife. Once I make it there and it doesn't exist there won't be anyone around for me to gloat over and Hitch won't be there to share a martini.

Jesus! He is Risen! But where is He? Playing QB on the Denver Broncos or a Hedge Fund Manager on Wall Street?

"I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a *christian* quarterback do well. They're interested in *christian* coaches and *christian* quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in *Tebow*, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he really didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." - Racist Limbaugh.
Here's how you know conservatives are willingly blind to racism and bigotry. I altered Racist Limbaugh's derogatory reference from skin color to christian and changed the QB's name from McNabb to Tebow. As is easily observed, any comment about Tim Tebow which is not positive is attacked as anti-christian, yet when Limbaugh made this heinous bigoted statement about Donovan McNabb in 2003 right-wingers rallied to his defense.

The Chicago Bears just lost to Tim Tebow. Dan Bernstein of 670 the Score is quite upset over the tactics He used to defeat the Bears.

For 3 quarters the Bears defense had Tebow flustered. Tebow had completed just 3 of 16 passes had thrown an interception and fumbled. Tebow's passes were off (although 4 drops by his wide receivers wasn't helping) and his normal running style was replaced by a skittish one as Tebow discovered, unlike in college, he couldn't outrun or bowl over the likes of Julius Peppers. Lovie Smith then decided to employ the "Prevent Defense". As Mike Ditka once said, all the Prevent does is prevent you from winning...

But, Tim Tebow is not the first NFL player to make his faith central to his life off or on the field. Reggie White was a preacher. Deion Sanders is a minister and led prayer circles on the football field after games. Troy Vincent was once asked what book everyone should read and he replied, "The King James Bible because it is life."

Even in the Bears-Broncos game Tebow wasn't the only player who makes a big show of his faith. Devin Hester touches his feet, legs, shoulders and points skyward in order to get god's protection, "I just tell god to watch over me from the toes on my feet to the head of my crown."

And Reggie White, Deion Sanders, Troy Vincent and Devin Hester are all African-Americans, Kurt Warner dedicated his Super Bowl victory (but not his two Super Bowl defeats) to Jesus.

So, what is it about Tebow? Do people really believe that Tim Tebow is winning because of Jesus is watching out for him or aiding the flight of the football? I think the Tebow Mania and the way everyone wants this to be an issue is because some christians want to feel they are persecuted. These christians are making Tim Tebow a litmus test for the persecution complex they crave and the war on their religion they are engaged in.

However, lost amongst all this Tebowing, was the is a more egregious religious affront. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who recently conferred upon deadbeat Republican dad Joe Walsh, the title of #1 True Blue Pro-Family status wrote an article declaring Jesus was a Free Marketer not an Occupier.

Of course, the problem that Jesus lived 2000 years before the concept isn't really the issue. Because what Tony Perkins was actually writing about was a justification for the rampant theft and corruption by the 1%. Perkins, overplayed his hand, because the need to mention OWS and the term "occupier" in the title shows how frightened he is christians in this country will begin to side with the poor and correctly view #Occupy as a struggle against Oppressive Power and the corrupt system set up by those who wield that Power.

It's actually an old idea in christianity. The Poor Men of Lyons (Waldenses) were condemned as heretics by the Catholic Church and were eventually anathemamitised because they dared to question the Order of Society. The Waldenses meet the same fate as the Cathars in the early 1200's being chased down and brutally slaughtered by the Guardians of the Powers That Be.

Perkins ends his Jesus wants you to invest in sheep futures with the following:
Yes, we are to "occupy," not by railing against a free market system that rewards diligence, even though it is occasionally abused. Rather we are to occupy by using that system ethically as a means to advance the interests of the one we serve.
Got it? Jesus wants you to accept the Income Inequality, abuse of power and transfer of wealth. Focus instead on ethics, i.e. things which don't challenge the Economic Inequality.

Of course, what Tony Perkins is actually defending is Feudalism. Christianity grew along with Feudalist ideas. It's been a 1000 year struggle by powerful and wealthy christians to massage the meaning of christ into favoring the Rich and Elite. To turn Jesus from a rabble-rousing champion of the poor and oppressed into a scion of the Plutocracy and keeper of the status quo (Behold! The Gospel of Supply Side Jesus).

And today what the religious right have allowed themselves to become the marching foot-soldiers waiting for the opportunity to enforce the will of the 1% and oppress the Occupiers.

On May 22 2011

The world will still be here and the christians who supported Harold Camping will as well. The world goes on despite religious fantasies and fairy tales.

I began seeing those doomsday billboards up along the Ike and Edens expressways a few months back. Besides the date, May 21, 2011 and the Judgement Day is Coming warning written on them I couldn't make out any thing else on them, mainly because in Chicago traffic one needs to pay attention to the stop-and-go flow.

I thought it might just be another fundamentalist special on the need to repent, a general warning that Judgement was eventually coming sometime soon and advertising some huckster's 3 hour fire and brimstone All-State Arena spectacular.

It was only later that I learned the billboards were actually claiming to indicate the endtimes. On May 21 2011 at 1800 eastern the Chosen shall be raptured as earthquakes strike every time zone.

The best response to this claim was from Richard Dawkins. Dawkins told Washington Post On Faith editor Sally Quinn, "Why is a serious newspaper like the Washington Post giving space to a raving loon?"

Even though Camping violates one of the established Apocalypse principles, that the Rapture Ready must be told the endtimes is near but just far enough away from their lifetimes as to allow them to be continually sold on the false beliefs of the bible, it doesn't matter.

The failure of the May 21, 2011 End of the World will be forgotten as easily as Camping's 1994 End of the World predicition and every other fundamentalist nutjob's Apocalypse claim.

Update:
In his last book, A Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan wrote about a conversation he had with the Dali Lama:
In theological discussions with religious leaders, I often ask what their response would be if a central tenet of their faith were disproved by science. When I put this question to the current, 14th, Dalai Lama, he unhesitatingly replied as no conservative or fundamentalist religious leaders do: in such a case, he said, Tibetan Buddhism would have to change.

Even I asked, if its a really central tenet, like (I searched for an example) reincarnation?

Even then, he answered. However, he added with a twinkle, its going to be hard to disprove reincarnation.
So, we now have 2000 years without a Second Coming. It's really time the so-called christians think about what they believe and why they believe it.

Why christians hate Harry Potter

Christians hate Harry Potter because his books are far better crafted, far better written and are a far more internally consistent fairy tale than the collection of nonsense contained in their books of the bible.

American Soldiers Warriors for Jesus Hitler

Jesus Hitler
Adolf Christ
Is this the second coming
Or the fourth Reich?
~ JesusHitler, Carnivore

The Christian Fascists have been busily infiltrating and co-opting the American Military for their own personal use. To spread aCross the Globe. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. - Ann Coulter. Coulter should take her slimy ass and slide down a 50 foot razor blade into a vat of rubbing alcohol.

American Christianity is an evil ideology. Worst of all it's current adepts are ignorant boorish savages only too willing to murder for Christ.

At Fort Eustis Virginia, Soldiers were given the Sophie's Choice of attending born-again Christian Gen. James E. Chambers, The Commanding General's Spiritual Fitness Concert or cleaning the barracks. Of course, high ranking proselytizing christian bigots isn't a new phenomenon. Recall Lt. Gen. William G. "Jerry" Boykin, "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."

Even I have a story which I've recounted before:
After completing MCT (Marine Combat Training) in early 2001, the SOI Bn CO LtCol regaled the young marines (and me since I wasn't so young) with tales of life in the Corps and the brotherhood we had joined. We had spent (most of) the last 17 days in the field learning the absolute basics of military tactics. After which we had the opportunity to take a shower to clean off the grime and mud of 2 weeks in the field.

Getting back to the LtCol, at the end of his speech he informed the Marines they now had the duty to clean the showers we had just used because a good Marine always leaves equipment and quarters in as good a condition as the way he found them. However, an offer was made. If the Marines wanted to stay and listen to the LtCol he would tell them the truth of Creationism and debunk the lies of Evolution using a treatise he had written and self-published and of which he had available copies for the Marines to take with them.

I was stunned. I left with the group assigned to clean the mud coated showers and befouled shitters. My reasons were partially because I don't shirk duty but mainly because I was upset over rank ignorance being forced down the mouths of tired and impressionable young men by a Marine in a position of Authority.

Thinking about the situation later I realized I should have stayed and grabbed a copy.
The White Christian Fascists have control of the US Military. Is there any doubt why they loved heading to the Middle East to kill muslims and convert them? And this explains the continued slander of President Obama the Muslin!!!11!1! If Obama were to attempt to curb the religious fanatics, the christian fascists, Chicken Hawk and Chicken Shit Sean Hannity and Fox News would immediately whip up the conservative Tearrorists about how Obama "The Muslim" is curtailing the religious freedoms of soldiers.

And then Liz Trottta would "joke" about murdering President Obama again:
