And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? ~Revelation 6 (King James Version.)

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. ~George Orwell, 1984.
Well??
Don't wave your arms around, answer the fuckin' question.
The other day, NC Lt. Governor and candidate for governor, Mark Robinson...was reported to have both been a porn consumer of, shall we say interesting tastes (including transgender porn) who defended Slavery (and slave-themed porn) and referred to himself as a "Black Nazi" on a porn site's message board in 2012.
I mean, come on, what the fuck??
I'm so old I can remember when this bullshit would have gotten a dude run out of public life much less the Republican Party...probably with one of Ronald Reagan's cowboy boots jammed up his ass...and the dumb shit he said would have probably been fodder for late-night comedians for months and all this crap would likely have lost the election for Republicans all by itself.
I mean, there's Dukakis in the tank...and then there's this bullshit.
I mean, come the fuck on. What's wrong with you, Republicans??
Where does it stop?!?!
And it sure looks like the Shouty Man is gonna cost Republicans North Carolina, at least.
(and Democrats didn't dig this up, it was Republican Oppo research, apparently.)
So now Republicans are doubling down on racism and on defending slavery??
My dude, I'm old enough to remember when nobody defended slavery...like at all...except for a few Southern "Lost Cause" assholes and racist cranks who even a vast majority of Republicans hated.
And Chris Rufo (of all fucking people, basically the Commanding Officer of the Unfuckable Dork Brigade) posted solicitations on a website ("Ashley Madison" or some shit like that) that's for married people who are looking to cheat on their spouses.
Ya know, again, I'm old enough to remember when this kind of bullshit was at least seen primarily as a thing of the Left, was tolerated primarily by the further fringes of the Left (until Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, anyway) and would end a Republican's career...Right, Newt??
But now Republicans want to do all this fucked up sexual shit and think they're gonna get away with it, while they try and force some kind of straight-laced fake-as-fuck "Christian" moralism on the rest of the goddamn country??
Oh HELL NO, motherfucker.
I'm tired of these shameless assholes, well remembering that at 13 or so my Grandma basically told me I could feel shame, or she'd beat my ass until I did...and I didn't get caught doing anything near this bad.
In fact, hell, I'm 50 and I wouldn't have even thought of this kind of horseshit on my own.
(And I'm a gamer and a writer and I think of screwed up shit for fun.)
I mean, I've done some pretty fucked up shit, but nothing like defending or fetishizing slavery while I'm spanking the monkey to porn that I've claimed other people should be killed for using.
I get it, okay, call it the Trump Effect.
You have Donald Trump as the leader of your party, shit like this is gonna happen.
But here's the thing. After awhile it reflects on you.
You get what you tolerate. I learned that as an Air Force security police Sergeant.
What you support is gonna come back around for you, and sooner or later you're gonna have to own it or repudiate it and you will be called on the carpet for it in this life or the next.
Either you believe in basic human values or you don't.
Belief in nothing but Power and Trump is exactly what's gotten the Republican Party into this goddamned soup sandwich.
I mean, for fuck's sake if these fucking people had the common sense God gave a domestic Ferret, y'all wouldn't be in this mess.
This ain't even "Reagan Wept" no more.
We're getting to the level of things where it's "Lincoln Wept" because the Republican Party has quite literally forgotten its entire goddamn purpose in the name of nothing more than perpetuating itself. It has become the nature of "Conservatives" to abase themselves before the Shouty Man simply for the sake of abasing themselves before what they see as "Power."
And all the Shouty Man has to do, basically, is yell loud enough. He doesn't even have to really say anything. I mean, he could be shouting "Unga Bunga!" or "I Like Big Butts And I Cannot Lie!" for all it actually matters.
It's like all that even matters is the tone of voice, what are you, a fuckin' Schnauzer or a human being?
There's no excuse for this crap! Use your head for more than a hat rack!
Historically, when it gets to that point...when people become that debased, dumbed-down or just plain fucking stupid...systems fail, nations fall, the list goes on.
And instead of trying to deal with their shit, the Republicans are actively and openly plotting to take America and the rest of its citizens...not to mention the rest of the world...down with them in collaboration with the goddamned Russians while profiting off of mass stupidity...as if the money would even be worth shit if they succeeded??
Either you have the fucking guts and basic sense of self-preservation to stand up against that, or you don't.
You hear that, fellow Democrats?? You even listening, Merrick Garland and Joe Biden??
Where's the goddamned bottom with this bullshit, I'm fucking tired of it. "Idiocracy" is too good of a word for what the Republican Party has become. The characters in Idiocracy were not anywhere near this actively malicious.
The worst part is, it's probably gonna take a war to get these assholes to stop fucking with our politics and using that shit to hurt people.
Enough is goddamned Enough, what's wrong with you??
We as a people need to stop tolerating this bullshit...and if our government won't stop it, we're gonna have to.
Otherwise when the great day of His wrath is come, what you gonna be able to say for yourself??
When I am dead, bury me
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
