SPRING THOUGHTS 2021

The Proud Boys have little to be proud of and much more that is their shame.

Are you really a "patriot" if you want to tear down the democratic government of your country?

The people who attacked the U. S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 and the lying scum who encouraged that attack are "PATRIOTS" in the same sense that right-wing Evangelical CHRISTIANS are Christians (i. e. they are not!).

Dr. Samuel Johnson defined patriotism as "the last refuge of a scoundrel." Ambrose Bierce, writing in America and over 100 years later, corrected Dr. Johnson noting that patriotism is the first refuge of a scoundrel. I think we need a new word for love of country. The word "patriot" has been so abused for 60 years that it has no positive meaning anymore when lunatics, fascists, cultists and assorted other scum can call themselves by that name.

If people like James Dobson, Jim Bakker, Creflo Dollar, Franklin Graham, Tony Perkins, Pat Robertson and Roy Moore are CHRISTIANS it is just as well that Jesus of Nazareth has been dead for more than 2000 years.

The Oath Keepers might want to look for an oath that's actually worth keeping.

If Stewart Rhodes is an actual patriot, I'm the Queen of Sheba. Please note: I have never been a queen in any sense of the term and have never visited "Sheba" in any sense of that term either. 

The Second Amendment to our Constitution reads as follows:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

We have only to look at the Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021 to see that these self-styled militias are anything but "well regulated" and oppose "the security of a free State". In consequence of their NOT meeting the conditions set forth in the Second Amendment their right "to keep and bear Arms" needs to be "infringed" and actually curtailed in the same way that we would take a firearm away from any other lunatics.

When we're being polite we call Republiscum office holders, candidates and voters Republicans even though they can't. The Republiscum Party and its adherents have made a disastrous mess of the national economy causing a total of 22 Recessions and Depressions of the 35 Recessions or Depressions since the Republican Party was founded. In almost every case it is Democrats who have had the task of cleaning up the mess that Republiscum have left the nation. Please note that the Republiscum Party bills itself as the party of "fiscal responsibility".

We also call them "Conservatives" when "Fascists" is the correct term. Why?

Once upon a time there were Republicans and Conservatives but largely since the 1950s there have been Republiscum and Fascists with few notable exceptions.

Jeffrey Epstein, his girlfriend and abbetters Ghislaine Maxwell and fellow trafficer(?) the Failed Orange Führer, trafficed in underage girls. Now Rep. Matt Gaetz, who describes himself as the most dedicated of dedicated Failed Orange Führer supporters, is under investigation for trafficing in underage girls. One of the most basic lies of the QAnon Cult involved in the sexual exploitation of underage children. I wonder how the right-wingnuts came up with that idea?

Antifa is shorthand for anti-Fascist. Other notable anti-Fascists include Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall, Mark Clark, Omar N. Bradley, Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Josephine Baker, Frederico García Lorca, Berthold Brecht, Albert Einstein, Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi, Niels Bohr, George Kistiakowsky, Alan Turing, Reinhold Niebuhr and most of the soldiers and sailors who fought in World War II. So what's not to like unless, of course, you are a Fascist?

About half of white, evangelical voters say that they will refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19. While their decision is both stupid and a prime example of sheep being led by the Judas Goat of disinformation  to the slaughter by from Fox, OANN and other right-wing media outlets, look on the bright side: many idiot right-wing evangelicals will be culled from the national herd, an outcome devoutly to be wished. If that makes me a bad person, so be it.

Unfortunately, many of those unvaccinated imbeciles will go out and infect smarter people and some imbeciles will survive this pandemic. That is a tragedy.

One of the reasons that the Republiscum Party has been so successful in locking in the evangelical vote is that the majority of evenagelicals will believe any bullshit that's fed to them. They believe in The Rapture. They believe that mental illness is caused by demonic possession. They believe that they can tell who is possessed by nonexistent demons. In short, they believe the same utter nonsense that allowed 20 citizens of Salem, Massachusetts to be murdered in 1692 and 1693. Technology progresses but we remain the same ignorant apes  century after century.

JANUARY 6, 2021

 

On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, we saw American Fascism express itself in Washington, D. C. in terms so obvious and unequivocal that only the Fascists themselves could ignore it. The Orange Führer and his lunatic minions stormed the United States Capitol and were allowed in. The Orwellian nature of the mob of rioters was striking. For these QAnonsense cultists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, secessionists, Proud Boys, Boogaloo Bois, and Republiscum hate of their government is love of their fantasy of country, overthrow of the government is patriotism, authoritarian Fascism is the true Constitutional government, allegiance to The Orange Führer is the true expression of representative democracy.

For years the neo-Fascist media at Fox, Sinclair, OANN and others have vilified the anti-fascist movement (Antifa) while exalting The Orange Führer and the Republiscum who enabled him. Those same neo-Fascist outlets are now expressing the lie that the scum who invaded the U. S. Capitol weren't really supporters of The Orange Führer but rather Antifa anarchists who masqueraded as right-wing scum. In the 1931 movie Monkey Business, Groucho Marx, trying to convince a witness that he hasn't seen what actually just transpired asks, "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" That was supposed to be a joke 90 years ago. It's not a joke anymore or at least I'm not laughing.

Well, who are you going to believe, the neo-Fascist scum like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Janine Piro, and Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Alec Jones, Rash Lamebrain, and their vile ilk or your "lying" eyes that saw the right-wing rioters and traitors invade and vandalize the Capitol?

Who are you going to believe, the husband who loved Ashli Babbitt and supported her lunatic views, or the police officer who was confronted by a screaming, fanatic rioter and shot her to protect the people's House from her irrational rage stoked by the lies of a conman, The Orange Führer?

Who are you going to believe, The Orange Führer and his lunatic fringe minions like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell or the courts that have carefully reviewed the accusations backed by nary a single shred of evidence that there was malfeasance in counting votes and found those claims to be appalling and false?

Who are you going to believe, The Orange Führer who tried to get Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to engage in vote fraud or Secretary Raffensperger who took his oath of office seriously and refused to commit fraud at the insistence of The Orange Führer?

Who are you going to believe, the 147 members of Congress who attempted a treasonous coup by challenging the votes of the American people or the 81,283,098 citizens who repudiated The Orange Führer and said that they had had enough of nepotism, treason, malfeasance and incompetence from The Orange Führer?

Who are you going to believe, the Constitution and laws of our nation or a Republiscum Party that perverts and violates the Constitution and those laws with every breath they individually and collectively take?

Make no mistake in considering the riot at the U. S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, the flags that extolled The Orange Führer, the Confederate flags, the Don't Tread On Me flags waved by the mob at the Capitol had nothing to do with America or American patriotism or history. They were a farrago, a substitute for the Nazi flag and its swastika that would have flown over our country had The Orange Führer and his imbecile mob succeeded in their attempted coup.

For that crime against our Constitution every one of the 147 Congresspersons who sought a legislative coup should be removed from office forthwith and banned from ever holding political office at any level for the rest of their lives. For his crimes too numerous to list The Orange Führer and his vile offspring and minions should spend the rest of their miserable, vicious lives in jail cells as traitors to our nation too dangerous to be allowed to see the light of day except in a prison exercise yard.
