is when they whine about "small government" and the nanny state.... and they are on both SSDI and medicare.

Boggles the mind.

Why don't they just say the safety net should only be for whites and get it over with.

It is truly STUNNING how these hypocrites and modern Pharisees preach trickle down economics among their "freedoms" ... it is disgusting to hear.

Fuck them all....quit telling me how much you love life and start adopting a bunch of heroin addicted babies....

OK, I thought maybe they were sometimes misguided, or naive, or didn't really think through the consequences of their beliefs, but down deep they were good people.

I was wrong. They're mean people who get all giddy that anyone who is guilty of nothing more than being not exactly like them is going to be condemned to eternal agony.

This past week a friend on Facebook posted that photo of FDR, JFK and Trump with quotes from each man. FDR and JFK were inspirational and aspirational, and Trump's was about pardons for himself and his family. A friend of that friend, real conservative douche, made a crack about FDR dying in flagrante with his mistress and JFK conducting multiple affairs, and sneering at their lack of moral authority to say anything. I responded with a brief review of Trump's rumpy-pumpy history, including multiple affairs, five children (that we know of) by three different women and currently on his third marriage. I finished by posing the question that using the same measure with which he measured FDR and JFK, what was his estimation of Trump's moral authority?

I haven't heard back yet and it's been days. I'm guessing I won't hear back.

It's really tragic for me to see this faction suck everything mystical, spiritual, and liberation and justice-related out of religion and turn it into a cold machine of profits and supporting the status quo and dominant narratives.
