Never Say Anything Bad About the Dead. He's dead. Good.

9. You keep posting this, but you're leaving out the part that makes it make sense

It's: “You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . He is dead. Good.”

And her name is spelled Bette, Not Betty

6. So have I!

Stuff falls on the floor, computers refuse to behave (1), power goes out when I'm posting a long rant.

But, I am polite. My grandmother used to say.

Gesu Cristo. Aiuto me!

So I add the "help me"

Just in case.

(1) So get this. I'm posting on the phone, and all the buttons stop working. Bold, Italic, preview, post, the whole 9 yards. I found, after 10 or so tries, that hitting RETURN would force a preview, and things worked again. A little less swearing now?

7. That Seems to be a Him (J.D. Vance) Problem

Well, that seems to be more of a him (J.D. Vance) problem than an America or World problem. If he did actually say "the name of Jesus Christ more in the last two weeks than in all the years before" that was his choice.

8. I wonder if he's trying to convert Usha...

10. Because he's never seen such a clear opportunity for personal advancement by claiming he has "Christian values"

as this has presented.

Kirk himself had seen how tying himself to Christian Nationalism was an opportunity for advancement and wealth, so changed from secular to forcing god onto people:

Similarly, Turning Point USA, which Kirk founded in 2012, started as a pro-free market organization downstream of the late-2000s Tea Party movement against “big government”, but by the time of his death he had leaned into ideas associated with the Christian right. The organization may have done so because it spotted an opportunity.
...
Kirk had been an evangelical Christian since childhood but earlier in his career expressed reluctance at politicizing his religious views. That changed during the peak of the early pandemic, when Kirk made the acquaintance of several charismatic megachurch pastors protesting church lockdowns. He began to traffic in ideas influenced by the NAR, including the seven-mountain mandate. Turning Point USA also began to forge partnerships with churches.

Kirk’s own evolution was striking: he went from saying, in 2018, that it was important that Christians respect the separation of church and state to denying that any such separation existed in the US constitution.

Kirk never used the exact phrase “seven-mountain mandate”, Boedy said, but at a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2020 Kirk praised Trump by saying: “Finally, we have a president who understands the seven mountains of cultural influence,” which was one of the most prominent mentions of the concept in the conservative mainstream. Kirk also attended conferences organized around the theme of the seven-mountain mandate.

Vance wants to take over the following Kirk had. Kirk's widow may want to use it too, of course.

This was really a MAGA grifting session and not a memorial
