As I said in my last post, when the religious zealots start warmongering, sanity flies straight out the window. Not my opinion alone, either. Barry Goldwater said the same thing back in the day, “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.” Now Mike Huckabee, Ambassador to Israel, is texting Donald Trump and telling him to await a direct communication from none other than God. How I wish I was joking. This is from the Christian Broadcasting Network. I only post it because it’s a legible copy plus somebody reads the text.
So there you have it, Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump are on a mission from God. I don’t know how much more insane this can all get, but I’m sure we’re all going to find out soon enough.
The religous wingnuts are all for the End Times, the Rapture, all of it. And this is what Netanyahu is using to leverage an already unstable Trump. I don’t know where any of this is going but just looking at the cast of characters, I can’t help but be dismayed.
That says it all, doesn’t it? Isn’t that a perfect encapsulation of this time in history? Maybe homo sapiens will go the way of the dinosaur and for the same reason: stupidity. The great lizards simply didn’t have the intelligence to cope with their changing climate, so they perished from the earth. We, as a species, have the intelligence to destroy ourselves many times over, but not the common sense to refrain from doing so. Maybe that’s how all this will play out.
When all these puffed-up champions of alternate reality, from Trump down, get their sycophantic and delusional chance to scribble, and jot down their myopic version of history, it’ll be chokers full of fake facts; be misspelled; and have no punctuation, chapter and verse. These twats of no punctuation must come to suffer a long sentence.
Yes, exactly. You can’t reason with belief. To use a biblical metaphor, don’t cast pearls before swine. These folks see life on Earth as a penance and yearn for the afterlife. When they’re in control, everyone has to drink their Kool-Aide. Scares the living Jesus out of me.
‘Your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore…it’s already overcrowded from your dirty little wars…and Jesus don’t like killing no matter what’s the reasons for…your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore.’ John Prine
Here’s how far off the cliff we are. In past times, someone hearing voices was put in a room for observation. In the magaverse, we make them president and encourage them to listen to the voices. Or the Huckster does anyway. Huck is not a good man. He does his best to portray himself as one, but he has evil in his heart. Alas, when it comes to the longevity of civilization, and par for the course with a tRump administration, he has wound up in the worst possible place he could be for the rest of us. An American religious zealot who wholeheartedly believes in biblical end times is stationed in the place where those end times are said to begin. You don’t reckon he’d try to help it along, do you?
