Selfish Nation (Image Of The Beast, Six.)

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Therefore when thou does thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But when thou does alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which sees in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

And when you pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which sees in secret shall reward thee openly.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which sees in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

~Matthew 6:1-2

...

There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. ~Baba, from The Kite Runner.

I saw this crap last night.

Some idiot Chick-fil-A manager engaging in a loud public prayer in his restaurant during the lunch rush. Like, fucking why, dude??

Saw another goddamn idiot trying to say states need to ban adultery...as if that wouldn't land pretty much every Republican Man in jail at some point?? Also what the fuck does that even do when These Fucking People all follow a confessed, proud adulterer??

One has to wonder how these idiots really see the world or if any of them believe a word that comes out of their own mouths...but then I've seem these kind of people get positively Soviet in terms of delusions and self-deception when they get called on their bullshit and can't lie to somebody else anymore.

Then, a little bit later, I added to the god-level ration on some idiot Republican chick whose Threads feed looked for all the world like she was trying to catfish people over to her OnlyFans and ya know, she'd likely be a Communist if being that got her more views.

(Ya know, at least the porn ladies on Blue Sky are pretty honest about what they are, just sayin.')

You can take a lot of things away from a man. Cigarettes, the gym. You can take his freedom, his legs, but not his feelings. Not his feelings. A man loves a woman. Don't matter what kind of man he is, if he loves her, he wants her. He wants her body. He wants her to want his. So you say to him, "you can never make love again. You will never touch her in that way again. This is the last time. The last time. Forever." If that's not cruel and unusual punishment, I don't know what is. ~Augustus Hill, from the HBO series Oz, S1.E2 "Visits, Conjugal and otherwise."

Also, Paula White, literally saying she self-inserts when reading the Bible...and I can't decide if that's heresy or mental illness but my ex-wife used to do something like that pretty often but to her dubious credit I don't think she ever went that far!

These fucking people don't believe in anything...except their own narcissism.

The Truth is most of these nuts can't see anything but themselves.

It's all rules for everybody else, shit, they don't care if they get stomped on by the jackboots too as long as they're the ones holding the shock-wand in the dystopia. Seems like that doesn't work too well when it all comes crashing down.

But they don't care, they just want to feel powerful for a minute. Their entire social meme is that they should get to have their boot on somebody else's throat before they, too, die a horrible death.

And their own behavior is working hard on ensuring that exactly this will come to pass.

You do not abuse the people carrying the guns if you want to have a long career as an autocrat. This should be perfectly well obvious and I say that as a veteran myself.

I don't preach a social Gospel I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread. ~Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Like if somebody handed me a mostly-empty tray with that kind of crap on it, I'd throw the shit in the trash. Fuck these motherfuckers. And RFK Jr. wants to *Checks Notes* screw up this situation worse??

I literally do not understand the thought process here. It seems like a hell of a way to see the world. I get that these people are trying to beat some idea of obedience into everybody else but it's not working. Seems like they might wanna back off before they make it worse on themselves. I don't know, I was never that kind of conservative.

We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.

This is not the behavior of people who think they're gonna be around for a long time, this is assholes, bullies and cheaters trying to get their last kicks in before they know somebody's big brother is gonna show up and beat the ever-living fuck out of them.

Like, if These Fucking People are so right, or so righteous, why are they all drunk or high all the goddamned time??

Why is this even a question somebody like me has to ask? I'm barely a liberal, I'm basically a conservative Democrat and there's a reason for that. Secular liberalism is not rising to the occasion and dealing with this bullshit. In fact, people like Chuck and Hakeem are making it worse to the point of being enablers by doing nothing at all!

Some people would rather bow down before the Image Of The Beast than grow some balls.

So, why aren't the Other Conservatives asking these kinds of questions??

(Oh, that's why.)

I mean, seriously, how the hell do these fucking people have no self-respect whatsoever??

The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calendar for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived and all the crops are long gone. Soon all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food. Within a year there was fire on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke. ~The Man, from Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" (Film.)

And like I said, the worst part of this shit is that none of it's even working.

America has effectively shouted itself into Oblivion and off the world stage (except as a dangerous joke) and way too many of these morons don't even notice. And when they do...because eventually it's going to hit them...I think one hell of a lot of these people will destroy themselves. I'd say even at this late stage something like 20% of America has basically made Trump their identity. 20% of America is still to the tune of 60 million or so people.

For comparison, losing One Million people during COVID-19 damned near wrecked our shit. If 60 Million of us drink ourselves to death, OD or go full Cormac McCarthy's The Road because they cannot react rationally to the massive global levels of comeuppance that we're already facing, and they cannot admit they fucked up...well that's going to be a terrible damn problem, isn't it?? 

Or as I've said before, it's like The Walking Dead, but with idiots.

The scary thing is the Zombies may have been more intelligent.

Like, daily, I'm in the mode of thinking what in the "It's Got Electrolytes" bullshit is this??

The trouble is our country's operating system was designed by our Founders with a certain amount of courage and intelligence as baselines, and right now all that is lacking.

Christianity, likewise, requires a certain amount of intelligence or at least ability to follow instructions so as to avoid becoming the same basic-ass Unga Bunga religiosity those same people used to routinely condemn.

Trump didn't do that, Christians have done it to themselves by taking the Self as their God.

America has become the Nation Of The Self.

It all comes down to one question, really. Either you believe in freedom or you don't.

So what are we going to do about it??

Слава Україна!

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free. ~Ronald Reagan

The Holy Quran says it, "Pilgrimage to the House [of God built by the prophet Abraham] is a duty men owe to God; those who are able, make the journey." (3:97) Allah said: "And proclaim the pilgrimage among men; they will come to you on foot and upon each lean camel, they will come from every deep ravine" (22:27). Every one of the thousands at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no one would know. Some powerful personages, who were discreetly pointed out to me, had on the same thing I had on. Once thus dressed, we all had begun intermittently calling out "Labbayka! (Allahumma) Labbayka!" (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red, and yellow people, blue eyes and blond hair, and my kinky red hair -- all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all in turn giving equal honor to each other. . . .That is when I first began to reappraise the "white man." It was when I first began to perceive that "white man," as commonly used, means complexion only secondarily; primarily it described attitudes and actions. In America, "white man" meant specific attitudes and actions toward the black man, and toward all other non-white men. But in the Muslim world, I had seen that men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone else had ever been. That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about "white" men. ~Malcolm X.

Abomination (Image Of The Beast, Five.)

When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so reads, let him understand)

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ~Matthew 24:15-27

Like I said in my last post, I'm a man and I choose the goddamned Bear over other men, too.

Is it possible to order up MORE Bears?

Like I said Imma tell my partner she should dye her hair, although in her case a serious RBF and a man-hating reputation directed specifically at these dudes (Seriously a bunch of these kind of guys at our old job hated my partner 20 years ago) usually works.

But if she dyes her hair? Maybe it'll work against these idiots like wearing a Hijab, but she won't have to submit to male dominance or even imply doing so. It's worth a shot, the next time she has trouble with some dude, Imma suggest it. We were on Third Shift, once, we lived to screw with people.

You can take a lot of things away from a man. Cigarettes, the gym. You can take his freedom, his legs, but not his feelings. Not his feelings. A man loves a woman.

I have a partner because I treat her like a person, it's pretty much that damned simple.

Why is that so hard for these kind of "Men?"

Seriously though, the level of Narcissism of these guys is absolutely off the hook, and for no damn reason that I can see, either.

Oh, right, cuz every once in awhile these Jabronis find themselves a woman who'll carry water for this bullshit, no matter how stupid it is. So, they see that and they think everyone should do it.

Fuck all that.

We need to all start telling these idiots "No."

And mean it. And be prepared to back up that "No" with legal and physical and spiritual Force.

Like my friend pointed out, apparently the fact that Jesus called Peter "The Rock" upon which He would build His Church completely escapes these morons. But then, I'm here to tell you from personal experience that These Fucking People don't read the Lord's Word anymore than they read anything else.

We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house.

Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.

These Fucking People need to be told to Go Fuck Themselves. It's as simple as that. There's no kinder way to put it at this point.

Anything less than violent refusal will be taken as license by these idiots to continue their bullshit.

That's one of the lessons I learned from my ex-wife and her church people when things got really bad, and that was one of the few times in my life since I was in the military that I've ever felt the need to carry or even have ready access to a weapon on a regular basis.

Some idiots just think they are entitled to not take "No" for an answer, and frankly I found that a hell of a lot scarier than being shot at. Bullets only kill the body. These idiots want to destroy your Soul.

Seriously these fucking people have now gotten it into their heads that they can abuse anybody they damned well see fit.

Imma just point out that historically, that shit does not end well.

Yes makin' mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep, Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap; An' hustling drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit Is five times better business than parading in full kit. Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, how's your soul?" But it's "Thin red line of 'heroes" when the drums begin to roll, The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll, O it's "Thin red line of 'heroes" when the drums begin to roll. ~Tommy, Rudyard Kipling

And don't think the fucking troops don't know that, either. They will only take so much, same as the rest of us.

The thing is, I don't think the idiots making these decisions care. I think they think they're making some grand point in the name of Assholery and honestly, I think they think the World Ends when They do. You'll notice that these motherfuckers act like Trump is never going to die, and like they never will. They act like things will continue as they are for Eternity.

The Holy Quran says it, "Pilgrimage to the House [of God built by the prophet Abraham] is a duty men owe to God; those who are able, make the journey." (3:97) Allah said: "And proclaim the pilgrimage among men; they will come to you on foot and upon each lean camel, they will come from every deep ravine" (22:27).

That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about "white" men. ~Malcolm X.

They won't, that's simply physics and spirituality, the metaphysics of the Universe, right or wrong.

That's not conservatism, it's mental illness, it's straight Narcissism. Again, I don't have any other way to put this.

This is basically 70 million motherfuckers, most of them "Men" all thinking they're going to be the Abomination Of Desolation that Jesus described in the Book of Matthew someday...and taking it as a fucking complement.

They don't even understand that person is one of the villains of Scripture.

These idiots would rather bow before the Image Of The Beast than give up whatever little bit of Power they think they have.

And they think they all have a right to act like this.

They don't.

But if you want this crap to stop, sooner or later it's going to come down to a fight.

Soon.

Слава Україна!

The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits — not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty. ~Ronald Reagan

Indiana Jones: Half the German Army's on our tail, and you want me to go to Berlin? Into the Lion's den?

Henry Jones, Sr.: Yes! The only thing that matters, is the Grail.

Indiana Jones, Sr.: What about Marcus?

Henry Jones, Sr.: Marcus would agree with me!

Indiana Jones: Two selfless martyrs. Jesus Christ- [Henry Sr. slaps Indy]

Henry Jones, Sr.: That's for blasphemy! The quest for the Grail is not archaeology; it's a race against evil! If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth! Do you understand me?

Indiana Jones: This is an obsession, Dad! I never understood it. Never! Neither did Mom.

Henry Jones, Sr.: Oh yes she did. Only too well. Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me. Until all I could do was mourn her. ~From Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Saints (Image Of The Beast, Four.)

There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. ~Baba, from The Kite Runner.

...

 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he speaks as a dragon.

And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceive them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. ~Revelation 13, King James Bible.

I saw this when I got up.

Some fucking CHUD complaining about people being mad about the "Rape Academy" and blaming it on women's alleged lack of modesty when *Checks Notes* per this asshole's own graphic there hasn't been that much change since *Checks Notes Again* 1930 or so. 

When the truth of these patriarchal assholes is a woman could literally walk down the street in a suit of full-plate armor and "men" like this would still lust after them.

Some lady actually did that in Afghanistan years ago, and ended up having to leave the country because the threats got so bad. 

She's probably better off for having left, at this point.

Like I said, I'm a man and I pick the goddamned Bear. Hell, at this point if my partner decided to dump me and go get herself a cabin in the woods and share the property with a big-ass Grizzly Bear that she named "Cuddles" I wouldn't even be mad. At least I know her and the kiddo would be safe.

And it's not me I'm worried about, it's all the other guys out there. When there's 62 MILLION of 'em been caught in one of the most depraved things imaginable, trusting nobody is a safe bet.

Of course the CHUD tries to cloak his assholery in religiosity.

But then, you go to his page and the very first thing you see is he's attempting to sell some Cryptocurrency widget.

All of These Fucking People are just scammers and thieves and don't let anybody tell you any fuckin' different. "CHUD" is too kind of an epithet.

And however bad you think these motherfuckers are, they're worse.

If every woman on the planet cut these guys off and was clearly either capable of protecting herself or was protected by somebody else...these fucking guys would just start sexually assaulting each other.

The Bible or any other damned thing is just excuses, justifications or lies when it comes to these kinds of dudes and "men" like Sean Hannity are no damn exception to that rule.

I'm being serious a thousand times over with what I'm about to point out:

Il Duce: You people have been chosen to reveal our existence to the world. You will witness what happens here today, and you will tell of it later. All eyes to the front. [Gently to a woman in front with her eyes turned down] You must watch dear. It'll all be over soon.

Connor: Now you will receive us.

Murphy: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry.

Connor: We do not want your tired and sick.

Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim.

Connor: It is your evil that will be sought by us.

Murphy: With every breath, we shall hunt them down.

Connor: Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies.

Murphy: Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

Connor: These are not polite suggestions. These are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.

Murphy: There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain.

Connor: For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it!

Murphy: And we will send you to whatever god you wish.

[Murphy and Conner join II Duce behind Yakavetta]

Connor, Murphy and Il Duce: And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Il Duce: Ĭn nōmine Pătris …

Connor: [Showing "veritas" tattooed on left hand] … ĕt Fīliī …

Murphy: [Showing "aequitas" tattooed on right hand] … ĕt Spīritūs Sānctī.

[They execute Yakavetta] ~From the film The Boondock Saints.

The movie The Boondock Saints came out in 1999, for those who haven't seen it, very much a "guy" movie, very Catholic without being obnoxious about religion, very "Politically Incorrect" as the saying went at the time...but also very much about the relationship between two brothers with a strict moral code who just got sick of all the bullshit and decided to do something about it. 

The movie also featured a gay FBI agent as a main character, so it obviously wasn't intended to please the "Religious Right" types of the day, either.

You probably couldn't make that movie today, and nobody would be madder about it if you tried than the MAGA Catholic Theo-Bro Sedevacantists.

Conservative Christian Republican that I was at the time, I loved that movie, still do. Saw it in the theater in Grand Rapids when it came out...with my then-girlfriend, who liked that shit as much as I did.

"Do Not Rape" or "Do Not Steal" didn't used to be controversial statements.

This is the way people like me and my partner were raised, do not kill, do not lie, do not rape, do not steal. This shouldn't be that hard. "Do not attempt to live vicariously through others doing this" should be perfectly obvious. Outsourcing one's Sin to others is still Sin. YOUR intent is still present!

The ideology has changed that much...certainly the claimed ideology has...in 27 years.

Now it's like pulling teeth to get some men to treat women like people.

And it's somehow on the women to fix this??

No, guys, it don't work like that.

More to the point, the abuse of women and patriarchal attitudes are directly coupled to scamming and mass theft by all this Manosphere bullshit and these guys aren't even trying to hide that garbage!

The truth is it's starting to remind me a lot of some of the scam-fuckery that was going on under the radar 25 years ago, too, but this time the collapse will be worse because not enough of these people got punished enough back then.

If you want this crap to go back to something approaching livable for the rest of us, much less even its historical "Normal" as any of that has ever existed in my lifetime, it's going to come down to a fight and these idiots are going to have to get badly beaten to put them back "In Their Place" as they'd put it regarding the rest of us.

These idiots need to be treated the way they'd treat other people. Secular liberalism that tries to keep everybody happy ain't doing it when it comes to dealing with all of this bullshit. Fire Chuck and Hakeem, among other people, put age and term limits on Congress and demand these fools do something.

And then once we do, most of these jerkoffs, no matter whether or not they're forced to "Behave" in public, will spend the rest of their lives resenting the rest of civilization for it.

Too damned bad.

When the clap-back for this last decade of bullshit comes (and it's coming fast) between a third and half of America is gonna have a massive fuckin' crash out. Expect addictions and worse to spike massively. Personally, I expect violence. It won't be competently done violence, but I expect it. I think they will try to break off part of America for themselves but the truth is they'll just be like the Taliban (but with more drugs, more guns, a hell of a lot less brains and way more weird sexual bullshit) after we reconstituted government in Afghanistan in 2003-2004.

Such is the true nature of these "Saints."

And I'm like, whatever, as long as civilization doesn't get bored and wander off and leave the country to these CHUDs. 

Back in the 1990's I had enough run-ins with Militia ass-clowns to know if you just interdict the local Meth supply these fucking people will be miserable enough on their own. 

I Hate to tell you this, but there's still a lot of that kind of crap going on here in Northern Michigan, at least. A couple Sundays ago will go down in history as the Tweaker-pocalypse at work, for a reason.

Sooner or later the rest of us are just going to have to stop tolerating this shit.

Because these motherfuckers absolutely would inflict all the Torments of Revelation on themselves and everybody else just to maintain their fucking perversions. "Crab Bucket" barely even begins to describe how these goddamned idiots think they want to live.

And some people have the balls to argue with me when I say these fucking monsters worship Baal?

The truth, my friends, is probably way worse than that. I have a feeling iconography like "Image Of The Beast" doesn't even begin to cover it.

You either believe in freedom or you don't.

Слава Україна! The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits — not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty. ~Ronald Reagan

The behavior of the Taliban as well as their extremist attitudes do not correspond in any way with a tolerant Islam. We have always been opposed to extremist tendencies of Islam and we still are. We have not stopped insisting on defending an Islam of tolerance which would be profitable to every Muslim, in Afghanistan and in the whole world, and we will always defend it.

I saw this on Facebook when I woke up.

Tennessee's state government has some bullshit thing going where they're going to try to claim June is "Nuclear Family Month."

Full disclosure here: I've always been rather suspicious of terms like "Nuclear Family" and anybody outside of, say, the mental health or social welfare professions that uses terms like that, especially to try to make some kind of bigoted or bullshit political point.

And that's before you get to the homophobic gist of the whole fucking thing.

Likewise, my partner, the kid and I will very likely never fit that "Nuclear Family" ideal and we don't care if we do or not. They're both LGBT which means we already run afoul of "Conservatives" trying to define us out of existence anyway. We're both pretty much too old to have more kids and in certain ways we've acted accordingly...without consequence thus far which kind of proves the point.

You can take a lot of things away from a man. Cigarettes, the gym. You can take his freedom, his legs, but not his feelings. Not his feelings. A man loves a woman. Don't matter what kind of man he is, if he loves her, he wants her. He wants her body. He wants her to want his. So you say to him, "you can never make love again. You will never touch her in that way again. This is the last time. The last time. Forever." If that's not cruel and unusual punishment, I don't know what is. ~Augustus Hill, from the HBO series Oz, S1.E2 "Visits, Conjugal and otherwise."

To me "Nuclear Family" is just some bullshit words that don't go together.

Maybe it's just the wording and the fact that I'm Gen-X and a child of one of the tenser parts of the Cold War.

But then again, Republicans just got caught bemoaning a drop in teenage pregnancies which somebody that I know commented was because they like the idea of human puppy-mills to support endless war and slave labor. So that kind of throws such terminology into a different light, doesn't it??

At least some of these motherfuckers clearly like the idea of war for its own sake, in fact, if people like Keg-Breath and all these idiots that keep turning up for "Worship Services" at the Pentagon are to be believed, they seem to think war is more "Christian" than peace.

Which is utter nonsense if you've ever read the Bible, particularly anything that Jesus of Nazareth was ever alleged to have actually said.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. ~Matthew 25:31-45

But then these same fucking people seem to think the Epstein-cult sex-slave forced to do stuff that no person should be, fits their ideal of "Christian" more than the church-camp teenagers who are dry-humping because they actually like each other and want to.

For These Fucking People, the ultimate logic of the "Nuclear Family" ends in a Mushroom Cloud so they can sell bomb shelters to scared dipshits, Ass Jerky ain't gonna make itself, Vaultie.

It's not about Christianity, conservatism, or least of all families. Hell, there's very few conservative families I can think of that follow the old-school "Nuclear Family" model and have been able to keep it up or allowed to flourish enough to do so comfortably or that have been lucky enough to be blessed with faithful men who didn't have some kind of abusive tendencies or weird issues going on.

This shit is about Hierarchy and Power and more to the point, endless confusing hierarchies of power that Republicans can game to their own profits and heart's content. Throw in abuse scandals on the regular and war for ideology and profit as a side-hustle.

And they think nobody should discuss this, or even acknowledge abuse, and that anybody who does is somehow trying to get something.

(As if they're not trying to get something, by doing like, pretty much everything that they do?)

They wanna push this one family ideal simply because it generates more bodies to throw at the problems their own selfish model of life creates. They only see people as something to profit from, unless it's them and then they demand full human consideration.

And then the Republican attitude towards everybody else is "Fuck You, I got mine."

I don't know why anybody else keeps putting up with this crap.

You either believe in freedom or you don't.

And you're either willing to fight for it or you're not.

Слава Україна!

 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he speaks as a dragon.

And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceive them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. ~Revelation 13, King James Bible.

Some say finding God is a glorious thing. They're wrong. It's dangerous. You spend your whole life in a world of men. But when you finally see his power, his greatness, other men fall out of view. Because you're so focused on him, you can barely see them from the corners of your eyes. You lose sight of them. ~Augustus Hill, from the HBO series Oz, S1.E3 "God's Chillin'."

I saw this last night.

Apparently, Trump really does think he's Jesus.

When is enough going to be enough with this shit??

I'm just gonna say it again, this bullshit is blasphemy and it's wrong and you shouldn't need somebody like me to tell you that. 

It's the kind of thing that's wrong, in my view, to even tolerate. Not because I'm so devout or anything, but I look at stuff like this as disrespectful to Believers and to faith in general much less to God or Jesus specifically.

Of course Trump is a narcissist and doesn't care about anybody but himself...or even really care about himself in any kind of conventional way.

It looks to me like he's realized he's not gonna bend the world to his will and he's having the same kind of Personality Disorder crash-out my ex-wife had after I left, albeit much worse.

Thankfully, I haven't seen anybody saying they support this fucking garbage.

The motherfucker posted it anyway. Yeah, I'd give that some thought.

He's clearly not very connected to reality, and I have no doubt that the Prosperity Gospel liars he surrounds himself with...people like Paula White...are fucking feeding this delusion.

Because that's what Those Fucking People do.

Whether they see profit in it, or simply for the purpose of causing chaos and drama by itself, which is something a lot of these motherfuckers are addicted to (Stuff like this is a big part of why I'm divorced.)

We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.

Part of it is those CHUDs are mostly narcissist assholes just like Trump is.

Also, mostly, they're stupid.

Now, Imma tell you an uncomfortable truth; If you believe in Trump, if you support this kind of Idolatrous Garbage, you're going to Hell unless you Repent and do some serious work on making it right.

Like I said just yesterday at this point the Right's promotion of cultic mentalities and stupidity at this point is starting to scan to me as Soul-Murder on a mass scale.

Like, who even does this shit??

Eli Sunday: Daniel, I'm asking if you'd like to have business with the Church of the Third Revelation in developing this lease on young Bandy's thousand acre tract. I'm offering you to drill on one of the great undeveloped fields of Little Boston!  

Daniel Plainview: I'd be happy to work with you.

Eli Sunday: You would? Yes, yes, of course. That’s wonderful.

Daniel Plainview: But there is one condition for this work.

Eli Sunday: All right.

Daniel Plainview: I'd like you to tell me that you are a false prophet. I'd like you to tell me that you are, and have been, a false prophet, and that God is a superstition.

~From the film There Will Be Blood.

And what purpose could there even be for it that isn't destructive??

I'll wait.

This type of bullshit is the logical result of a whole bunch of dumbasses basically saying "Trump Is God" for the last eleven years or so.

If he didn't believe that bullshit before, sooner or later he was going to start.

Again, you either believe in freedom or you don't, and you're willing to fight for it or you're not.

Imma add to that, either you believe in God or Trump at this point, you cannot have faith in both. No man can serve two masters.

I don't know if it's Orban losing in Hungary that sent his ass over the fucking falls or what, but this crap has got to stop. It's got to be stopped.
