The Hofoid House of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VII

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

On Bill Clinton:

Horrible policies.

Great person.

I think it's pretty absurd to say that Bill Clinton is a bad person. What did he do wrong? Rape a few people? Who cares? Committing crimes doesn't automatically make people bad imo.

Please tell me you're joking.

Seriously, we've had people like Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle get nominated for statewide office and now we could see people like Roy Moore and Marsha Blackburn in the Senate.

Angle wasn't a nutjob; she was an ideological conservative who was a poor candidate.

Mourdock and Akin are creepy and smarmy; but their creepiness and smarminess didn't come out until after they were nominated, and they began to talk about sex and rape.  (Both those guys creeped me out; I'd never vote for either one of them if Maxine Waters were their opponent.)

Moore, however, represents a simple proposition:  Do the people rule?  Or do Courts get to overturn the rule of the majority whenever they feel like it?

I visited the "Ten Commandments" monument that Roy Moore paid for and placed in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court.  Having visited it and seen it, I came away with the unshakable conviction that God, Himself, wanted that monument to stay.  (God, Himself, wants a lot of stuff, but he's allowed man to disappoint him on a lot of stuff, so . . .)  The Monument, itself, was not just the Ten Commandments; it had commentary on our Constitutional Liberties, and a significant part of the monument involved substantive quotes on our liberties and their source from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Black folks, as well as white folks, were visiting that monument, and black folks, as well as white folks, wanted the monument to stay.  Indeed, I believe that if you polled Alabama, over 80% of its citizens, and a majority of all races, would have voted to keep that monument there.

Roy Moore's candidacy is a candidacy that I endorse.  I don't endorse his every political position, but I endorse the underlying premise of his candidacy, which is the question of whether or not the people rule, or the Courts rule in America.  I do not advocate the Tyranny of the Majority, and I recognize the Courts' role in protecting the rights of individuals, and minorities; even minorities of one or two.  But being in the minority generally means, in a democracy, that someone else's position has carried the day.  Do the People rule in America?  Roy Moore's candidacy asks that question, and it's a valid one.

Evangelical Christianity is the mouthpiece of and ideological medium for the transmission of elitist controlled values and beliefs. It primarily serves to assuage natural human negative reactions to inhumane social conditions and organize people behind a policy agenda that serves particular interests. Critical thought is discouraged, while human capital and energy is directed towards bigotry, nationalism, rallying around capitalism, and directing your frustrations towards non-constructive actions, such as prayer. Meanwhile, megachurch pastors get filthy rich and right-wing special interests are promoted while also cultivating a uniform voting base that works against their own self-interest and focuses on distraction issues.

That Trump received such a large percentage of the Evangelical vote and such a warm welcome should be absolutely unsurprising.

It of course commits the common fallacy of assuming that "Evangelical Christianity" is one large easily generalized entity, and kind of reminds me of the idiots on sites like DU and DailyKos who basically believe that virtually all or the vast majority of evangelical Christians believe in things like super-charismatic practices and worship, KJV-onlyism, Dominionism and prosperity theology, the truth is not only do the majority of evangelicals not believe in those things, you'd have a very difficult time finding any who believe in ALL of them.

Things that the post alludes to like prosperity theology and extreme mixing of nationalism in theology are quite fringe even by the standards of conservative evangelicals.

While it's not remotely close to anything he described, neither are most conservative evangelical churches. Not that they aren't terrible in their own ways of course.

I mean, I went to UW for four years, and when I was born, my mom put in the announcement to her friends and family a line something to the tune of "he was born just in time for the Apple Cup, so he had better be a Husky."

So yeah, my feelings about WSU are probably the most deeply-ingrained social prejudice I have.

They should declare the day this man dies a national holiday.

It would be a glorious day for the Union.

This quote is a prime example of why liberals (like you) aren’t taken seriously.

For what it's worth, you aren't taken very seriously either.

Neither is socialism.

Links to Hindu nationalist groups, Islamophobia, opposition to gay rights, supports Assad over actual left wing resistance in Rojava. What exactly about her is supposed to be progressive?

I could try explaining, but everyone hates her even more than Trump here, so it's pointless for me to even try.

David Duke is made out to be a raving lunatic racist by people on the left and right of the polical establishment.  Denouncing David Duke is how every conservative reassures people that he's compassionate and sympathetic to all races and religions.  And yet, if you listen to David Duke you'll hear a calm, rational and articulate man.  He has more intelligence in his pinky finger than Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly have in their entire bodies.  
David Duke does not espouse hate, violence, or white supremacy.  He stands for peace and traditional values.  He opposes torture.  (I happen to support enhanced interrogation, but that's beside the point.)
