Lies, Damned Lies, And The Right To Life.

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

I saw this yesterday, almost immediately after I came in from checking out the eclipse.

It's a fucking cult. 

It's a cult of bigotry and misogyny and patriarchy.

And goddamn if Republicans haven't started to figure out all that shit ain't exactly popular.

But don't worry, they'll just lie about walking shit back and then do whatever the fuck they want if they get back into power again. It's all bad faith and lies and it really is that simple.

Trump attempted to walk back all his anti-Choice bullshit yesterday, and was immediately lambasted by a lot of Conservatives and pro-life people, including Mike Pence.

Trump doesn't care, he just wants Power again.

Note: Mike Pence has not figured out that Republican dogma is unpopular.

But it's the response to Pence by a shitload of MAGA Republicans that I found instructive.

Right or Wrong, Pence said what he said in good faith, because it's what he really believes.

I don't believe in that shit, but I doubt that Mike Pence is going to declare a Jihad against people like me because I don't agree with him.

MAGA on the other hand immediately jumps down Pence's throat because, basically "How dare you contradict our god!" And of course they hate him for not going along with Trump's J6 coup, besides that.

And it's amazing how priggish they are about it, too.

It's like they've discovered a new god, and they like it way better than the old one, or something. I'm not saying the Left Behind Series novels and how LaHaye and Jenkins wrote everybody else falling in line and worshiping the Antichrist was projection, not yet, but it was pretty damn close.

You can believe that Jesus is God, or you can believe that Trump is God. Not both. One of these things is not like the other. No man can serve two masters. Mike Pence, for all his faults, seems to understand that pretty well.

And right now, American-style Evangelical Christianity and MAGA do largely coexist under the same roof...but it's not going to last. Sooner or later, MAGA is either going to start outright worshiping Trump as a group (Note: On an individual basis this has already happened, and it will get worse) or they will do something that's beyond the pale for too many Christians, including Evangelicals.

And in the end, it'll come down to "Owning The Libs" or some such bullshit, or otherwise lording their power over Christians who actually do believe in that kind of stuff.

You cannot worship God and then turn around and bow before Golden Idols, that's not me talking. It specifically says this in the Lord's Word.

Sooner or later, either these things are going to clash or MAGA is just going to eat Evangelical Christianity and if that's how it goes, oh well.

I have precisely zero sympathy.

But I somehow doubt MAGA would leave the Catholics and the mainstream Protestants and other assorted Not-MAGA Christians alone.

In fact, I'd argue MAGA is so goat-eager to persecute somebody hell, anybody. I'd also argue that yes, Christians will do. The modern Right has a history of believing in its own bullshit so much that it'll sacrifice itself and its own people to its assorted Blood Gods and Demons without so much as a second thought if nobody else volunteers or can be forced into the fiery furnace. (See Also: Pandemic, COVID-19.)

And people like Newt Gingrich will be there to tell all these goddamn idiot Republicans that yes, it's all just a scheme, a trick, some kind of clever ploy, just submit...

Like, bro, did you really just come out and say that shit live on TV??

Seriously, you cannot trust these motherfuckers. 

Just like Trump will cheat, lie and steal to get money or scam his way back into power, Republican ball-garglers like Newt will do or say anything just to get a few more minutes in front of a goddamn camera so they can feel relevant for ten seconds again.

"No, you did not see what you just saw." Like, excuse me, what the fuck??

It would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

And if these fucking people's entire stated goal wasn't to fuck over America and sell the rest of the world to Vladimir Putin for pocket lint and spare change.

Like, seriously, these fucking people know they're not going to be able to enact their shitty agendas if basically anything else exists or if anybody has the capability to fight back.

All these assholes know is cheating on their wives and scheming for power, they're literally not even good at anything else...so they figure they'll let Putin do the heavy lifting. You know, the guy whose three day "Special military operation" to conquer Ukraine has turned into a two-year war with no end in sight.

And I find it disgusting that Republicans see Putin and Russia as allies, and their fellow Americans and traditional allies as enemies. Like, seriously, Russia is a fourth-rate 17th Century shithole, and you idiots want America to emulate that crap??

Of course Republicans and Russians seem to share the view of life that "Everything is basically shit, but it's our shit, so let's just all be bad people together."

Seems like a hell of a way to live.

But the fact that we have about a quarter of the population that insists on living like that is one of the reasons why I think America is headed for some kind of a split. Yeah, sure, these fucking people will end up with some small, dirty Southern Banana Republic but they'll act like it's the Second Coming of Imperial Rome because it's theirs, or some bullshit. 

Meanwhile the rest of America will move on with an attitude like "Bye, whore" and rebuild and get on with the business of citizenship and life and maintaining all the international stuff our ancestors built that "Conservatives" reject now because it's too hard.

Sucks for whoever ends up living in that Banana Republic, though.

These fucking people seem to want to live in the Empire, from Star Wars, although in this case they'd do it with rather less of...well, everything.

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
~Daniel 3:14-18

Because MAGA and people like Newt Gingrich can't wait to throw people into the burning fiery furnace for Donald Trump...and they'll start with people like Mike Pence who believe in anything else, whether or not those people agreed with Trump 99% of the time or not. 

That 1% is worth murdering people over, the cruelty's the goddamned point.

I mean, how shitty of a person do you have to be, and how much does your life have to suck for you to look at somebody like Donald Trump and think he's Jesus??

That's how much it's "Anything but America" with these fucking people.

It's literally anything but "Be A Citizen." or "Love Thy Neighbor." 

And if we don't stop it, it won't stop.

'Cause I'm here to tell you nothing will ever be enough for these goddamned MAGA fanatics.

You either believe in freedom...for all people...or you don't.

You want it to stop? DON'T vote Republican.

It's really that simple, vote the liars out and it's still going to come down to a fight.

But at least if we kick them out of power, the fight won't be on their terms.

Слава Україна!

"Life is sacred"? Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death! Has been for thousands of years! Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians; all taking turns killing each other because God told 'em it was a good idea. The sword of god, the blood of the lamb, 'vengeance is mine'; millions of dead motherfuckers. Millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to The God Question: "Do you believe in God?" "No." BAM! Dead. "Do you believe in God?" "Yes." "...Do you believe in my God?" "No." BAM! Dead. "My God has a bigger dick than your God!" ~George Carlin
