Hopefully all the Catholics on the Supreme Court realize that the Klan types pushing for American theocracy don’t look too kindly on their brand of Christianity.

Yep. But it's not hard. Being a long-time atheist, I have learned that there are endless permutations of religion, just like deadly viruses and pandemics that run amok in the natural world. And speaking of the natural world, it's no surprise Dominionists want to destroy it. They believe the destruction of the natural world will hasten the Second Coming. This book ("Divine Destruction") reveals their anti-environmental ideology and was rather eye-opening, to say the least. And they influenced W's eco policies.

The amazing thing is that each of those endless permutations is the one and only True Religion.

You would think.  Then again you would think Thomas would realize the same think about being black and Amy would realize the same about being a woman.  Given the choice between outlawing their own religion but imposing an even more draconian version on everyone else versus allowing women and minorities equal liberty, I am relatively sure a majority of those pub justices will support option 1.

Just so I’m clear

This is disqualifying

We looked into this a few years back. Her grandparents migrated from Ireland so the ancestry qualification looked to be doable. Then she divorced me.

One of my grandfathers was named "John [VeryCommonNameInIreland]." From a family here for at least a few generations more. I was told just to brass it out because how the hell did I know that he wasn't fresh off the boat. Seemed a very Irish way to go about it.

Mormons will be fine.

Theres so many of them in the CIA and other federal agencies in addition to controlling the levers of power in Utah and large portions of the west.

Not to mention their logistical prowess and the warehouses of goods they have throughout the US.

If the other Christians try to come at them,  they’re going to be sorry they did.

Mormons aren’t going to let it go down like it did back in the 1800’s.

But…let’s go with on the bright side thinking here: if these fuckers try that shit for real, they’re going to be hella surprised by what a 30/06 round to the head will do to their brains. FAFO, fascists. Those dumbasses think they’re the only ones who are armed. Big mistake.

A friend -- deeply involved in Leftist America activism -- has told me face-to-face more than once: 
"The Far Left is heavily armed. Very heavily!"
Adding on, "the MAGA fascists will be very surprised!"
 

It’s not even/just the “far left.” It’s a lot of pretty ordinary folks. People who don’t fit any mold of “radicals who are obviously armed.” And those people just take a simple stance that should be the American baseline: authoritarians who would end our republic, whether they be commie pinkos or christofasicsts, should be shot in the fucking face.

Same here. Though "don't even like guns" only means you aren't fapping furiously to the gun fetish. 

They have their time and place of course. Their time is occasional and their place is almost always in my floor safe.

I keep thinking about this quote from "Slaughterhouse Five":

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt.

They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.
If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts. Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.
