(The article is a bit long, has a couple of glaring typo-type mistakes, and a couple of videos.)
The even more dangerous aspect of Christian nationalism is its acceptance of the inevitability of violence. Christian nationalism argues that Americans are an exceptional, chosen people who will eventually face an apocalyptic end-times battle. This us-versus-them thinking positions the “other” as a dire threat that has to be defeated out of a moral duty to defend Christian values and prevent the nation from falling into darkness.
And that “other,” increasingly, is the other major political party, the Democrats, or as some Republicans now call them, “demoncrats.”
Not only do those rat-bastards pick and choose from their book of fairy tales, they want to pick and choose from the Constitution, too. (Which, honestly, needs to be updated for the 21st century.)
I have felt Something Brewing for quite a while. I'm not sure what's going to happen but I sense that something very bad is going to happen shortly. And it'll make the capital insurrection look like a day in the park.
ReplyDeleteHow are these loud mouthed assholes getting away with this, they should be locked up?!
ReplyDeleteLuv - I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteMaddie - Jan.6 was just a practice run.
ReplyDeleteOMFG! This looks like freaking scary and insane.
ReplyDeleteYour Constitution is for sure outdated but it surely not an «à la carte» menu to pick on things that suit your outrageous agenda.
USA is going to be a divided country on the verge of civil war.
Maybe is it the case right now?
JiEL - I fear there's going to be violence, if not after the mid-terms, certainly after the next presidential election.
ReplyDeleteIf there were ANY justice going on when it comes to politicians, the FBI would be all over them - like they were over Kathy Griffin (for her stupid joke stunt). Sadly, our military and law enforcement have too many who support these people. I mean, just this past weekend Michael Flynn, et al, were calling for the execution of Biden and democrats in Congress. Is that really "first amendment protected" speech? I thought threats against federal officials was a crime......
ReplyDeletePat - When the next insurrection comes, I fear there are too many of the cult members in law enforcement and the military to put up a genuine fight.
ReplyDeleteIt's a 3,500 year-old Bronze Age collection of selectively assembled, strategically, stringently edited Middle Eastern folk tales written in a time long before the advent of scientific inquiry in a forbidding and often hostile environment and it mainly functions as a folk history of the Jewish people. Period. Honestly, you could base your life on the fantastical stories of Scheherazade and be just as far ahead. Meanwhile, I GUARANTEE you - NONE of these bozos have ever bothered to crack it. I have and - believe me - NOTHING makes you an atheist faster than reading the Bible. It is one whacked-out book. Not at ALL the book they tell you that it is in church or Sunday School but REALLY dark and REALLY crazy.
ReplyDeleteSmall wonder its crazed adherents act the way that they do.
Thanks, Rick!
Jimbo - Excellent analysis.
