Put Loyalty to America First

Friday, February 11th, 2022

Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell couldn’t have been any clearer about January 6.  “It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election. … That’s what it was.” McConnell made this statement in response to the Republican National Committee endorsing the insurrection.  The […]

Who Needs Enemies?

Friday, January 28th, 2022

Some of the most tragic war stories involve friendly fire.  There is nothing friendly about guns firing during war.  The adjective friendly is added to indicate that the bullet hit an ally instead of an enemy. During the last legislative session, Republicans crafted one of the most suppressive voter bills in the country.  Republicans saw […]

Which Side Are You On?

Thursday, January 6th, 2022

On January 6, 2021, Fox News host Laura Ingram texted Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff.  Ingram begged, “Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.”  Everyone in the White House and on Fox News knew who was […]

Rebellious Lies

Wednesday, December 15th, 2021

Why have Republicans embraced the lie? If they can lie about something we all watched, they can lie about anything. Ohh wait….Tax cuts don’t pay for themselves. Diversity really is a strength for America. We can trust women in their doctors’ offices. Christianity is founded on compassion for the poor, not the idolatry of power […]

Don’t Bear False Witness

Thursday, October 14th, 2021

Justice requires the truth.  As Americans we require anyone testifying to do it under oath.  Oath breakers face penalties for perjury. The truth is no less important in other aspects of life.  Both Civil Law and the Bible made bearing false witness a crime.  Civil law calls it liable.  Psalm 6 calls bearing false witness […]

I’m Not Scared of Words

Tuesday, October 12th, 2021

Every time we turn around Fox News and the rest of the professional conservatives cry like babies about scary socialism.  It doesn’t take much education to know they haven’t a clue what socialism is.  They simply want to scare and paralyze American. In the early 1900s apartment and factory fires killed thousands.  As a society […]

States’ Rights Deception

Thursday, September 23rd, 2021

Big Government conservatives like to hide behind the slogan States’ Rights.  They want you to believe they are standing up for you against the mean federal government.  They have relied on this deception since the beginning of the Republic. Southern planters knew America’s revolutionary rhetoric threatened their vast wealth and power.  The Declaration of Independence […]

Cruelty is a Feature, Not an Accident

Thursday, September 16th, 2021

The terrorist attacks on 9/11 ignited the rise of Big Government Conservatism.  Just a few months before, George W. Bush had won a razor thin election by presenting himself as a compassionate conservative.  Within days of the September attacks his mask fell off. Bush started to channel the blood lust rising in conservative circles.  I […]
