Palins' Papal Pronouncements, David Barton's insanity defense and right-wing religious persecution

Palin declared she's worried Pope Francis sounded kind of liberal, "[H]e's had some statements that to me sounded kind of liberal, has taken me aback, has kind of surprised me."

Of course, she's taken aback. Palin is a Real American and all real americans know that liberal is a dirty word. Why doesn't Il Papa know this?

Sarah Palin is not a Catholic. Yet, as with every issue, the only thing that is important is that the Right-Wing gets to excrete their ignorant bigotry.

No matter the issue, no matter the person, no matter their office, their achievements or accomplishments, if someone doesn't conform to right-wing orthodoxy then they are too be shunned and destroyed.

The Right incorporates a culture of absolute disrespect towards those who stray from their toxic mix of power apologia, pettiness, bigotry and oppression.

It doesn't matter if it's Pope Francis, Pat Tillman, a Postal Employee or President Obama, right-wingers are feces flinging fact-free fanatics, who only show respect for an individual if they espouse the proper right-wing rhetoric.

“I think this administration has a very narrow view of the First Amendment, that first freedom, the freedom of religion,” Family Research Council Tony Perkins explained. “I think they see religious freedom as fine with it as long as it’s in the four walls of a church. But if it comes into workplace, the marketplace, if it comes into the public square, it’s not welcome.”

This is exactly correct. Your weird beliefs are not welcome in the public square or the workplace, Mr. Perkins. You want to praise jesus? You want to adhere to the christian faith? Fine. But, you don't get to enforce your religious precepts onto others.

But, we've seen over and over and over again, that Religious Zealots don't want Freedom of Religion they want the Freedom to impose their religion on everyone else.

"I’m proud we are standing up for religious freedom in our state," Texas Governor and Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Perry said. "Freedom of religion doesn’t mean freedom from religion."

Part of the fight over coverage in the ACA is the fight of fanatics to force their beliefs on other people.

A business owner may be a Christian Scientist who doesn't believe in blood transfusions or antibiotics, but because the ACA provides coverage for those treatments the business owner doesn't get to veto coverage for his employee.

And if you think I'm creating an unfair strawman argument, religious wacko David Barton, truly believes that Veterans suffering from PTSD shouldn't get any medical or psychiatric treatment.

David Barton knows that if the returning Veteran truly believed in christ, he wouldn't have any problems. From Rawstory:

In a Veteran’s Day appearance on Believer’s Voice of Victory, televangelist Kenneth Copeland told "historian" David Barton that Numbers 32 said that soldiers “shall return and be guiltless before the Lord” and that meant that they wouldn’t have PTSD. 

"You don’t take drugs to get rid of it, it doesn’t take psychology; that promise right there will get rid of it,” he said, pointing at the Bible. 

"What we’re talking about, getting rid of the PTSD, guys who have been through battle, they need to understand that soldier’s promise, you come back guiltless before God and the nation," Barton agreed. 

"You’re on an elevated platform up here, you’re a hero, you’re put in the faith hall of fame if you take this [Bible],” he added. "We used to in the pulpit understand the difference between a just war and an unjust war. And there’s a biblical difference, and when you do it God’s way, not only are you guiltless for having done that, you’re esteemed.”

For a long, long time the Right has had total dominion over religious voters. But, as the Holy Spirit moves through Pope Francis expect an upswing of catholic bashing routinely witnessed in American history. As Right-Wingers continue to lash out at those who don't conform to the conservative values of bigotry, oppression, hatred and subjugation.

The Least Effective Police Force Ever

are the Liberal Thought Police.

Besides failing to capture well known master criminals like the baby murdering terrorists Dick Cheney and George Bush or even lesser criminals like the drug abusing R. Limbaugh, they can't arrest anybody!

They've failed to bring down Charles Koch and David Koch or Paul Singer or Black Water Capo Erik Prince even though these modern day potentates are well known in Washington DC for funneling millions of dollars to the Republican Party!

The Liberal Thought Police couldn't silence incessant abusers Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Jonah Goldberg and Glenn Reynolds who used hours upon hours of Verbal abuse to bully America into multiple generations long wars or the brutish David Addington and Alberto Gonzales when they assaulted the American people and brow beat them into Iraq and approved the use of Torture.

It can't seem to quell the insurrectionist Republicans and Tea Baggers calling for secession, or "second amendment remedies" or who yell "You Lie!" even though their names and identities are well known.

It couldn't capture Don Blankenship after he knowingly murdered Miners because he's a Republican who worships money and hate Unions.

It can't catch any of the thieves who used Iraq to steal Billions that is literally missing or was used to construct useless or unusable buildings.

There are hundreds more Republican and conservative criminals whom the Liberal Thought Police can't seem to quiet.

But, the Liberal Thought Police are useful for the Conservative punk ass bitches who seek to control and enslave this nation by playing on the fear and ignorance of their duped and battered supporters.

The Free Market Does Everything Better

Economies that combined all these institutional innovations - banks, bond markets, stock markets, insurance and property owing democracy - performed better over the long run than those that did not, because financial intermediation generally permits a more efficient allocation of resources than, say, feudalism or central planning. ~ Niall Ferguson, The Ascent of Money, pg. 341.

So is the cry of the Right... Until Corporate Negligence kicks the teeth in of their brain dead Duped and Battered Voters. At that time Punk Ass Bitch Republicans turn right around and declare Government can't fix this mess! Being a Republican means never having to worry about being a Rank Lying Hypocrite. Republicans job once they've connived their way into office is to deregulate, underfund and render useless all Government programs designed to aid the poor and middle class in America. Republicans love to stab Americans in the back and then blame the victims of their murderous violence.

It's almost comical that Drew Carey would be telling the Cleveland City Council that government jobs should be privatized while America suffers under the worst disaster caused by Companies freed of evil Government interference under Republican Direction. It's obvious Carey is looking to address real problems facing Cleveland and deal with them. But, his perspective is from that who has lived a privileged life for 20 years now, from someone who can afford to hire a nutritionist, personal chef, trainers to help him lose weight and turn his life around.

While conservatives are quick and vocal to point out the problems caused by totalitarian government control they blissfully ignore the devastation caused by Corporate monstrosities. The Failure of Conservatism is the blissful unwillingness to recognize that those who wield government power for evil are from the same class that enslave humanity under the auspices of Capitalism. It has not been Capitalism but Democracy and smidgen of political power in the hands of the still oppressed, still being worked to death "Lower" Classes, which has enabled and driven the Greatest Flowering of Freedom and Innovation since the Ancient Greeks invented the concepts of Science, Philosophy and Democracy.

The Ancient Greeks recognized much about Human Nature. For instance, Human beings are selfish creatures. However there is nothing wrong with selfishness, it is a necessary and acceptable emotion. But those who make up the Kleptocratic Class and control America under the name Capitalism and in other nations under the same ideology with a different name aren't just normal selfish human beings but sociopaths who see humanity as they're servants. Republicans are the guard dogs and gate keepers for these Plutocratic Sociopaths. And the Conservatives who vote for the Republicans and against themselves have been enslaved via several strategies.

The triumph of liberalism is that we Liberals recognize other human beings.

And it has been Liberals using Democracy to elevate and alleviate the plight of the poor and create the Middle Class, which after WWII blossomed and created the Modern America everyone in the world wishes to emulate and the American People look fondly back upon. But, the Plutocratic Capitalists hated the Rise of the Middle Class and despise Democracy and desire a return to Feudalism. And since the creation of their marionette Ronald Reagan these "Capitalists" have fought hard to destroy America and Democracy and for a return to the times when they could cosign the Middle Class to the status of cogs in the wheels of Industry and War.

Liberals and Atheists now bringing twice the Smarts

I'm feeling happy so Highly Evolved ~ Highly Evolved, The Vines

According to a long and detailed study by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science, has concluded that if you are a Liberal or Atheist you are more intelligent than other humans.

Kanazawa's theory is that intelligence—particularly our ability for on-the-spot problem solving and reasoning—arose as an adaptation to deal with the unusual and unexpected, such as a sudden forest fire.

Since disasters like that are rare in daily life, responding to them wouldn't likely be something our ancestors were hard-wired to "know" how to do. Surviving the fire required both the ability to think up a new behavior, and the willingness to try it out.

Passed down via genetics, those two traits are still the calling cards of an intelligent brain—expressed as a tendency toward adopting nontraditional social values and preferences, Kanazawa says in his new study, published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

As a result of their iconoclastic ancestry, he suggests, people with higher levels of intelligence are more likely to adopt social values and behaviors that are relatively new to human life—liberalism, atheism, staying up late, and (for men) monogamy, for example.

This tendency toward iconoclasm stems from smart people's brains being better adapted to dealing with new situations, according to Kanazawa.

So, if you are compassionate to fellow humans or if you are able to understand natural forces, like earthquakes or thunder, are not the result of 'your' god's displeasure you have a higher level of intelligence.

Well, as nice it is to think I have excellent reasoning skills and am therefore smarter than others, the ability to adapt old knowledge to new situations is one component to Intelligence. I find I am more in agreement with Stephen Jay Gould and Howard Garndner that there is no "general intelligence factor" (g) and that there are multiple intelligences which are a mishmash of many different fields and kinds. As a reference how many times have your heard the old cliche, 'So and So is book smart but doesn't have street smarts'. This is an unacknowledged reference to the 'multiple intelligences' theory.

Additionally, traditional intelligence tests, Standford-Binet IQ, were often biased and stemmed from earlier times when those biases weren't recognized as prejudicial to reliable test results. However, I'd like to set aside some time and read Satoshi Kanazawa's paper, in order to confirm his conclusion, and thus stick out my chin and puff up my chest and lord my superior intelligence over the mouth breathing jackanapes.

Conservatives are Hypocrites (Watergate Jr)

Conservatives are Hypocrites. And I'm not just talking about their rampant deviant immoral sexual indiscretions but also when it comes to matters of Crime and National Defense - My Senator Dick Durbin points out Republicans are traitors.

Domestic Terrorist James O'Keefe's criminal trespassing under false pretenses and espionage by maliciously interfering with the communications system of a US Senator and member of Homeland Security have highlighted the absurdity of Conservative Justice. If the political labels were reversed and a Liberal was charged with the crimes O'Keefe committed Fox News would have non-stop coverage asking how far up into the Democratic Party this conspiracy reached and intimating this could lead to the impeachment of Obama.

But, because Conservatives hate the US Justice system and America. Fox and the Right Wing Extremists are downplaying O'Keefe's Terrorism as "pranks" and calling him and his 3 fellow Conservative Terrorist 24/25 year old accomplices Dai, Basel, and Flanagan, "kids".

Conservatives view themselves as above and beyond the normal rules of Justice, just as the view the idea that there are two truths, one for their ignorant vegetative followers to keep them docile and in-line and one for the Republican Elite. As such any and all actions they undertake are legal. IOKIYAR. Republicans and Conservatives believe there are two Rules of Law: Anything goes for them and the draconian iron fist needs to be applied to everyone else.

Guilt for a Conservative can only occur if there is evidence in incredible excess beyond a reasonable doubt. It must be an absolute metaphysical certainty and even then the conservative should receive a pardon.

For Liberals, Conservatives believe an allegation is enough to prove their guilt and Liberals can only be acquitted if they submit to Trial By Ordeal and even then the Liberal is probably still guilty.
