Just say it: FALSE RELIGION!

That’s the truly evil seed planted in the fertile minds of innocent children throughout America’s Bible Belt for generations. It has flowered into a poisonous tree with deep roots fertilized by the ruined lives of untold millions lost to history. False religion defines conservative politics. Now is the time for all good “baby-killing, Satanic” liberals to come to the aid of their country and set the record straight.

The public face of Republican “conservatism” — an euphemistic label with no underlying reality in practice — has shifted over the decades from huge secular lies about economics to enrich and empower the already rich and powerful to huge lies about God and “His” people to justify the unjust and to lend ultimate credence to their economic mass delusion and resulting mass disparity. False religion is not only at the core of rabid Republicans’ hopelessly entrenched and hypocritical thought patterns, it IS the core.

It always has been. Now, they’re playing the endgame — the overall strategy culminating in checkmate. They’re no longer hiding their flame. Their intention is crystal clear: theology trumps democracy every time (pun intended).

When will Democratic leadership, and their prissy base of elites and intellectuals afraid to get their hands dirty in the real world, finally display such clarity? Call these lying bastards out for what they are: heathens, heretics, and hypocrites! Don’t get hung up arguing the dogma and doctrine of religion — a hopeless endeavor with 7.9 billion interpretations. Instead, expose their aberrant behavior inconsistent with their stated principles. Shout it from the rooftops if you can’t break through corporate media! Don’t worry about the expected indignation and rending of garments by radical extremists. That’s good. Enjoy it. Sometimes, the truth is supposed to hurt.

To Republican leadership trying to corral a wild base of untethered radical Christianists who hate on others, the Sermon on the Mount is a dangerous thing. So hit ‘em where it counts, where they live — the core teachings of Jesus Christ rather than Tucker Carlson. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/sermon-on-mount_bible/

Heads up for Conor Friedersdorf in The Atlantic: "20 Bold Takes on the Roe Draft Opinion." May 4. My long-time outrage is on the injustice aspect of all Prohibitions, (long story short, it doesn't Prohibit you much if you got moulah.) Recognition in study cited by Friedersdorf, by Caitlin Knowles Myers, estimating "surprisingly modest" actual reduction in abortions, post Roe, but: “A post-Roe United States isn’t one in which abortion isn’t legal at all,” Myers observed in an interview with The New York Times. “It’s one in which there’s tremendous inequality in abortion access.” Already got that picture: hate it so much.
