Understanding Fundamentalist Christians

Christians of Paul Ryan caliber do not really believe in the Deity.  They read the Bible and cherry pick what they want.  They do not trust God to do His work.  They are going to do it for him.  God does not like gays.  How do they know this?  Well, because they decided it for God.  God is against abortion and it is their duty to see to it that no woman ever has an abortion even if it is to save her life or she has been the victim of rape or incest.  And since God won't stop these women, they will.  How do you explain such arrogance?  What are they going to answer when asked why they felt it was their duty to do God's work for him?  I trust my God.  He can do his own work.  I don't have the job skills to do it for him nor would I ever be arrogant enough to think that I could do his work.  And let's not leave out the radical faction of Islam.  They are the same as the radical Christians, just calling themselves a different name.  And all hate women.  Scary isn't it?  That we could slide so far back after coming so far.  And these arrogant SOB's think they have a ticket into Heaven.  From what I remember from my Bible classes, Jesus only promised two people they would ascend to Heaven-the two criminals who died on the cross with Him.  I cannot stand organized religion.

Unbelievable Republicans

Mitt and Ann Romney want to inhabit the White House so bad, they are willing to say anything to get elected.  Doesn't matter if it is an out and out lie.  And nowhere in the Republican shiindig did I ever hear a mention of the troops serving in Afghanistan.  Not one mention.  And this man wants to be Commander-in-Chief.  He could not even be bothered to mention in passing what a great job they were doing and thank them.  Wonder why.  Maybe it could just be that he sees them as cannon fodder for the military industrial complex.  And he has made the comment that maybe war with Iran is what we need.  Really?  Coming from someone who did not see it as in his best interests to sever in the military.  Apparently neither did any of his sons.  In fact, none of Romney's family have ever served in the military.  So how can he understand these brave men and women who do this job voluntarily?  He can't.  Nor does he want to.  And his running mate!  Even Fox news was pointing out the lies Paul Ryan told.  He even blamed Obama for the closing of the auto parts plant in his home town! Obama was not even in office when it closed.  And these people call themselves good Christians.  If they are Christians, then I am the right hand of God and I know damn well I am not.  I found the whole thing disgusting.

Lies people believe

It never ceases to amaze me what people will believe.  Take Akin from Missouri.  His take on rape is from the 13th century.  Literally.  That exact same description appeared in and English law book in the 13th century.  And yet in this country where we are supposed to be well educated, this attitude is the norm.  It is really scary for women.  People like Akin, Romney, and Paul want to force a woman to have a baby that a)she can't afford b) is a product of rape or incest c)her life is in danger and she will die.  They don't care.  The see women as chattel and on par with their cattle.  Yep, that cow will have that calf, by damn.  I said so.  This makes me ashamed of our country.  Ashamed that women are thought so little of.  We lamblast the Taliban for the way they treat their women.  We are no better.  Add to this, Rick Santorum's wife had an abortion.  He called it a medically necessary proceedure.  She had an abortion.  It was to save her life.  However, Santorum is against any abortion for other women in any case even to save the woman's life.  I am still trying to wrap my mind around this.  I just cannot do it.  How can people be so stupid?  Ignorance can be corrected.  Stupidity cannot. 

My Country is for Sale

I just logged onto the Democratic website and discovered that if I, as an individual, contribute $200 to a political campaign, then I must list whom I work for.  In other words, this is intimidation.  If I want to donate over $200 to someone my employer does not support, then my employer will know to whom I donated money.  However, if I am a corporation or I form a PAC, then I don't have to disclose how much I give or  who is donating to my PAC.  So apparently foreign governments can contribute to American elections.  But average everyday citizens are being intimidated into not giving.  My country is not for sale.  It has been sold.  You have the money, you can buy whatever office you want.  Also, the intelligent in this country are outnumbered by the idiots.  There is no more allowing you to have your beliefs.  It is by God my right to tell you how to think and I will do so.  And our representatives and Senators are falling in lock step.  The corporations are enforcing this with money while seeming to stay out of the limelight, but they are the ones in charge.  The taxpayer is the pawn of big business.  And big business is using them to the max.  Rick Santorum avidly against abortion in any circumstances.  Yet, his wife had an abortion.  He called it a medical procedure.  She was pregnant.  The doctors induced labor.  Abortion.  But no other woman's life is worth saving.  Just his wife.  Texas has the most uninsured people in the country.  Planned Parenthood provided health care for poor women and children and sometimes men.  Well, we couldn't have that.  Planned Parenthood provides abortion services.  So RickyBob set out to shut them down.  The Repubs in Texas also want to do away with medicaid.  The poor is just expected to die.  Screw them.  However, illegals can go to our state schools on the taxpayer dime and we have no say in it.  RickyBob did this to cater to the Hispanic vote.  Average salary in Texas--less than $10/hr.  Yep.  company money at it's best, but even for Texas, this is a new low.

More politics

I haven't been on here in awhile.  To be frank, I am really disgusted with how our country is going.  The hard right has grasp control and have wrapped themselves around our country like a huge monster with long tentacles.  Their goal is to tell you what to think, when to think it, and if it does not agree with their way of thinking or doing, to punish you for it.  It is a scary time.  Texas just voted Ted Cruz, a darling of this set, as the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.  I so hope Texans wake up and vote for the Democratic contender.  But I am really afraid they won't.  This is shades of the 1950's and McCarthy's red hunt, only this time it seems like it is the new Inquisition instead.  And what surprised me was that they voted for Ted Cruz.  Texas is really loyal to their own and Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father and a Texas woman.  So Cruz cannot ascend to the Presidency.  They will be going after our Constitution next.
