If one listens to right wing media, or reads it, one would be given the impression that there are federal forces going around arresting white men, and white Christians. One would also assume that there were federal forces arresting Christians for going to church, singing Christian songs, and for saying Merry Christmas. You would also be given the impression that children were being taught Critical Race Theory, which according to the right wing is a theory that white people are evil and wicked and that white children should hate themselves.
Of course none of that is true, but as usual the Republican Party and their religious fanatic base lie and push propaganda as easily as the rest of us breathe. The American Taliban are liars for Jesus. The only difference between the American and Middle Eastern versions are the Americans branch is Christian and not Muslim like their Middle Eastern Coherts.
In actuality the Republicans and their American Taliban base are the aggressors, who when called out for their wrong behavior immediately scream they are being victimized and discriminated against.
They lie about everything. They revise history to support their views and then push the revisions on school children, particularly their home schooled ones and the ones in their Christian Schools. Then they try and outlaw actual knowledge in the public schools.
Because the truth is, the Republican Party is filled with 60% sociopaths who use the religious fanatics and the conspiracy nuts to retain power; 30% religious fanatics who wish to force their version of religion on the rest of us; and 10% mentally ill conspiracy nuts who are totally out of touch with reality. They pack the courts with their judges, to make sure that the law is interpreted in a Republican way. Be it constiutional, federal, state or local, these right wing judges help implement the Republican agenda. Republicans pass laws to suppress voting, and gerrymander districts to help retain their power, even though the Republican Party IS a minority. They will tell you it's all based on the original intent of the Founding Fathers who created the Constitution, but they convieniently forget that the document was created with the ability to be admended to help reflect the growing and changing of a nation. They also forget that the Founding Fathers were Deists, and wanted a strict wall between government and religion. They also forget that the Founding Fathers were followers of the Enlightenment. But hey, you gotta lie for Jesus.
And to make it worse, these right wing fanatics don't even know the history of Christianity. They forget that Christianity was originally a Jewish Sect that was hijacked by Paul/Saul (who did not know, nor study under the so called Jesus) who created his version of Christianity for gentiles, something that set him at odds with the original Jewish Christians. Nothing, other than the name Jesus is part of the original Jewish Christianity. Paul and those who followed after him, took information from various and assorted Pagan, Greek,and Roman religions, Mithraism, and the Jewish religon to flesh out Pauline Christianity. They stole many Jewish religious texts to create the Bible, the issue though, they took said religious texts out of their original order, and did not take the rest of the texts that were used to help interpert the meanings. So they just made up their own interpertations.
The history of Pauline Christianity, or the Christianity we have today is filled with nothing but violence and suppression of others. First you had the Catholic Church which was created by Constantine the Great, which in it's creation was filled with violence in the murder of other Christian Sects who didn't agree with them, the murder of Pagans and Jews. Then the Eastern and Western Catholic Churches began to have problems and by the 6th century had separated into the various Orthodox branches and the Roman Catholics. They fought with each other and the Jews and the Muslims and the various other non Abrahamic religions. All the Abrahamic religions fought with each other and everyone else. Then in 1517 when Martin Luther created the Protestant religion, that added to the fighting. Soon you had all the various Protestant religions, the Roman and Orthodox Catholics, and the Muslims fighting each other, the Jews. By this point the Pagan religions had been pretty much wiped out and driven underground, and the Jews were pariahs who were murdered for being Jewish. Nations fought with other nations about religion, there were religious wars within nations and sometimes entire villages were wiped out. All of this led to our Founding Fathers trying to create a government FREE from religious interference in the government and in the lives of others. But if you are a Republican, you don;'t know that. Because the liars for Jesus make sure your head is filled with lies and propaganda claiming that the United Stated founded for Christians and on Christianity and the Bible.
The rot of religion is once more trying to infiltrate into government and turn a democratic republic into a theocracy. Make no mistake no one is safe. Because once religion takes over a government, nations devolve and people are murdered. Because even though you may be a Christian, you probably won't be the right kind. In other words you are a heretic. So let's kick these Republicans and their nutjob base to the curb. They like being victims, so I say let's give them a reason to cry.
Remember the motto of the Republicans is "Rights for me, but not for thee." In other words, their right to do anything, trumps your rights. You gotta practice their religion, raise your kids their way, including educating them. And you better live like they tell you to, cause only they know God and Jesus and their will.
So unless you want to live in the Dark Ages in the 21st century, kick out the Republican Party, let them cry when they lose, they do the victim act so well.
