The Wyofile article was great. I don't understand how the Heritage Foundation can get by with calling themselves a non-profit.

Kevin Roberts is a paper intellectual. His own notions of his own self importance are amplified in his bullshit word salads. Anyone who says they're a Christian and embraces Agent Orange to pursue their own autocratic dreams says more about the bottom falling out of their morality bucket.

A race historian??? Please! J.D. Vance and Roberts have a lot in common.

Sometimes, when one experiences childhood poverty, there seems to be a spirit of poverty that lingers. No matter the education, wealth, or status, that spirit is always there. A reminder of vulnerabilities. Loss of control. Like those who suffered from the Great Depression. I saw it in my grandparents.

Does that spirit of poverty invoke their fucking moral high ground? Fix the lead in the water. But, they don't give two-shits about that. Go after a trans teenager instead. Fuckwads.

Right, Lisa!

It's hypocrisy. Which is why, even as a no-longer-practicing Catholic, I am infuriated that they hide behind the Church to do this fascist stuff. We are supposed to help the most vulnerable. That's my takeaway from 18 years of going to church. How is anything they do helping the most vulnerable? (They would say a blastocyst is the most vulnerable, which is beyond stupid.)

I totally agree. I gave up the God thing years ago. I see God as a malignant narcissist/psychopath. It's never enough praying, tithing, giving all the credit to a ghost. Last time I looked I did that work and was left holding the bag.

Here's a story, a Holocaust survivor was telling another survivor that when he gets to heaven he has a Holocaust joke for God. He dies and goes to heaven. He tells God the joke. God says, "that's not funny." The Holocaust survivor says, "yeah, I guess you had to be there."

Religion is used to justify crimes against humanity. It's used to control the masses. That's why narcissists love it. Worship me!! It's a fucking grift. More children are raped and abused in the name of God. It's all about CONTROL.
