The stupidity of modern conservatism, Part 2.

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso fall not down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. ~Daniel 3:4-6

I saw this on Monday.

"Fox News is so biased it's disgusting, they do not want Trump to win."

Fox News. The same network that I said the other day should just merge with TBN at this point and they could just cut out the pretense and call themselves the "Trump Ball-washing Network."

I see this fucking shit all the time, Fox News is so blatantly, childishly obvious about lying for Republicans in general and Trump in particular that it's not funny. And they're not even good at it, the lies are blatantly obvious at this point. Fox News has become the ITAR-TASS of the Republican Party.

But "They do not want Trump to win." Sure, bro. Sure they don't.

The actual truth here is that Trump isn't getting enough of an ego-boost from Fox News, and has moved on to stronger drugs. I mean, I'm really not sure what more they could do, except perhaps have one of those Blonde, vapid Fox News Babes come and tit-wank Mushroom Dick every goddamned morning.

Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and appears to be a willfully unhappy person on top of that. There is literally nothing that Fox News, Republicans, etc. etc. can do that he'll ever be happy with for long, and eventually even his Y'all Qaeda base isn't going to do it for him. When we're up to dumb-shit tractor-pull stunts like having 'The Beast' presidential limo on the track at Daytona and this Professional Wrestling-type feud he's trying to gin up with Bill Barr, it's not hard to imagine that, like a Heroin addict who's been at it too long, he's trying to find a way to inject the cheers of his drooling mob straight into his veins.

But, like any addict, fundamentally nothing will ever be good enough.

And when somebody with the kind of no-shit reputation and hard-earned experience that Mike Pompeo should have is reduced to, in effect, screaming "Love me, daddy!" in front of an international forum and then trying to bully other countries that have absolutely no damned reason to go along with the American Conservative Lockstep March Ever Rightward Into Oblivion...out of self-preservation if nothing else...well, ya'll in some trouble.

This is what Republicanism has reduced itself to, willingly, on purpose, with malice aforethought.

Somehow, this observation managed to be an upgrade from the day before when I saw that Richard Dawkins is apparently defending eugenics.

Yeah, like I'm going to trust either a fanatical right-wing racist or a militant Atheist so strident that he turns MY increasingly-tired-of-religion agnostic ass off from wanting to consider Atheism purely on grounds of not wanting to be associated with this rabid dickbag, with a dangerous concept like Eugenics, especially given the horrors that idea has inflicted on humanity?
Fuck these motherfuckers.

This isn't the first time I've seen something (See my commentary about Richard Spencer, among others) that suggests to me that at the end of the day, there IS no such thing as "White Enough" for these motherfuckers. This is does, however, back up long-held suspicions that I've had for years about people like Richard Dawkins. Basically, science without morality is fucking dangerous, proceed with this crap at your peril.

And let's not forget the daily dose of paranoia.

There's a Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama spouting paranoid bullshit about "Sharia Law" taking over in ALABAMA, where you cannot throw a rock without risking hitting a Pentecostal or Southern Baptist church.

Listen, folks, at the end of the day do you really think these fucking people are actually that damned paranoid that they really believe Alabama is somehow going to turn into an Islamic State? At first blush, yes, it does look like some goddamned paranoid half-wit pulled this out of their ass because something something Gazpacho, but if you don't think there's evil conniving motherfuckers that would use such statements to eliminate any Christian opposition to their plans...especially considering that at the rate he's been going for the past couple of weeks Trump probably will try to declare himself Christ before the election...you seriously have another thing coming. There absolutely is no being "Christian enough" for these assholes, either.

And I know this from hard experience 20 fucking years ago, the current state of American Evangelicalism much more resembles my ex-wife and her nonsensical false prophecies than it does anything I was taught when I was being raised in church as a young Christian kid.

Why Love Thy Neighbor or do the hard work of living a Christian life according to the Word and obeying God as you understand Him, when you can have all of the self-righteous power-mongering without doing any of the work?! Why try to live the right way or do the hard work of dealing with anything that makes you uncomfortable when all of your problems and anything you don't like can simply be dismissed as a Jewish plot?

Pro tip here: Jesus was a Jew. Yo, the Bible doesn't even try to hide that fact.

And if you don't think they'd use that as an excuse to throw Him out the second anybody insists on caring for the poor, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, etc. You clearly haven't been paying attention.

Conservatism today is the Gospel of Fuck You, I've Got Mine.

But it'll get worse, it's turning into the Gospel of "...And I want to kill you and take your stuff, too."

We are dealing with people who'd rather hate than eat, who'd rather kill and steal than live...and only their having wormed their way into positions of power lends a very thin veneer of legality to this.

But aren't these the same people who claim to follow Laws not made by Man, who demand that everybody else should as well?

Funny how when push comes to shove, they throw even the most basic laws laid down by their own Savior right out the window and then expect you to be stupid enough not to notice, or to think that somehow you're one of the "deserving" ones who will somehow be exempt from their shitty bullshit, and you know it never works that way in real life. So, as a final rationalization, they offer that "Those People" will be hurt more than you will, so it's all good, right?

Insert class or ethnic or racial hatreds here, pretty much. Fundamentally, hate is their final offer. At this point it seems to be all they have left, or at least all they're counting on.

Republicans think you're stupid, oh yes, they do. And if they can't convince themselves that you're stupid they'll just assume you're as shitty as they are.

Listen up, yo. If you haven't figured out by now that Republican religion is a complete and total crock of shit, generated purely to get Man's approval for their shitty agendas, I can't actually help you.

If you can't watch Donald Trump do something like pardon a shitty criminal like Rod Blagojevich and not realize that these sons of bitches who are in power now never, ever, believed in one goddamned word that ever came out of their own mouths before this Trump bullshit started, as far as I'm concerned ya'll dumber than them blondes they put up there on Fox News to please the dicks of shitty old white men and ya'll more confused than Ben Carson in a history class and have less pride or self respect than Devin Nunes does.

These people don't give a fuck about you, they don't give a fuck about your beliefs or your morals or your religion...and they have driven out, mocked, ridiculed and very publicly fired anybody they could who did give a fuck about any of that stuff.  I mean, seriously, when Mitt Romney is all that appears to be left to defend conservatism as most people have traditionally understood it, ya'll in some trouble.

Listen, nobody is going to stop this shit, but us.

We have to vote the bastards out, ALL of them, we have to fight. We have to do it like our lives depend on it...because they almost certainly do.
