And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~Luke 2:1-14

"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." ~Volodymyr Zelenskyy, allegedly 25 February 2022, Associated Press
I saw this when I got up this morning.Just a little "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree, close to the front in Ukraine, where an entire nation is fighting for the right to do things like observe Christmas how they want to...or like at all, given the history of people like KGB agent Vladimir Putin. And I'm a use that pull-quote as many times as I have to, thus to remind people that nobody with the title "Caesar" in any language, or the mentality thereof was one of the good guys in Christianity's origin story.
Of course...the same fucking people also see conspiracy nuts, human traffickers, liars and rapists here in America and around the world as some of their greatest heroes. It doesn't make any goddamn sense to me.
But these fuckers believe more in Alex Jones than Jesus Christ.
But then, I'm also old enough to remember when a majority of Americans didn't see Afrikaner bastards like Elon Musk as their friends, either...and a broad array of evidence suggests that Elon Musk, unlike a lot of his compatriots back home, continues to be nothing but a bigoted racist dick-bag with all the sensibilities of a lash-wielding Apartheid-era Emerald mine foreman.
This is despite his tendency toward doing things--sexual and otherwise--that would have shocked the ultra-conservative and ultra-religious sensibilities of his ancestors...and that would have gotten him arrested and sentenced to a long prison term in Apartheid South Africa...where his blasphemous and perverse thoughts would have never become known to the public due to pervasive censorship (And for the record, although they are not enforced, South Africa still has Blasphemy laws.)
(Also for the record, you ever notice that LGBT people just don't do weird shit like this??)
It sure as hell ain't Ronald Reagan's conservative movement no more. Remember, Donald Trump essentially denied Christ live on CNN and Republicans didn't give a shit!
And these fucking people have finally managed...if only in the last couple of months with the rise of people like Mike Johnson...to actually create something like their long-sought ideal of a Christ-less Christianity. I'd argue that it's more along the lines of a Christ-less Christian Nationalism. (Yes, there's a difference.) And I'll note that in the quoted Sarah Huckabee Sanders post here there's no mention of Christ or Christianity whatever...and more to the point, her comment about "Identity" comes first. Then she gets around to "God" pointedly without naming any specifics (and this itself is a deception) and citizenship is last of all.
Because all these far-right dickheads want is slaves, not citizens.
And I'll note, past yoking the nation to their small, mean, shitty version of God (which is more Ayn Rand and Donald Trump than YHWH or Jesus Christ!) and comparing themselves to whatever Biblical figures they think their in-crowd will let them get away with, there's not really been much mention of religion (particularly of Christianity) at all. But then, the same fucking people seem to think that Russia is Christian...and how's that going??
And who does anybody, least of all the American Right, think they'll be attacking with those soldiers??
(Also, if the Russians can't defeat Ukraine, attacking Poland will end with PT-91 tanks...along with Abrams and Leopard II's...in Red Square.)
We're on that list too, you fucking idiots! I have no idea how the Russians think they'd pull off attacking the USA, but they're pretty open about wanting to do exactly that.
It's funny how people like Lech Walesa still remember that Russia is a threat, but people like Chuck Grassley don't.
Entitlement, Privilege and unearned Wealth are the enemies of freedom, too.
There was a reason that Jesus was born in a stable, and not in a palace.
Caesar ain't your Savior.
Remember that, because there's going to be a test later.
Слава Україна!
Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna fuck in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state. ~George Carlin
