Bernie Sanders Talks to the Xtians

Bernie Spoke at Liberty University.

"In my view there is no justice, and morality suffers, when in our country millions of children go to bed hungry," Sanders added. "That is not morality, and that, in my view, is not what America should be about." [...]"In my view there is no justice when thousand of Americans die every single year because they don't have any health insurance, and don't go to a doctor when they should," he said. "That is not justice. That is not morality. People should not be dying in the United States of America when they are sick."

His words should resonate with people who claim  to follow the fellow who was thought to say:

 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons^[a] of God.
 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

But, then they rarely seem to remember those parts of their book.

I am glad to see Senator Sanders appearing at places like this. We must carry the message to those who will not seek it out. If he moved one person in that room, then it was time well spent. Not to mention the fact that Bernie Sanders will be talked about in the media for this for days.

Go Bernie!

The Linkage Has Arrived

Scott Walker isn't a serious candidate. He isn't even a serious person. When he answers questions, he sounds like a slightly below average teenager being faced with things that are way over his head. Unserious is the word, really.

Doesn't this ring some sort of bell? Like, hasn't that been done? Tattoo Identification Numbers on people's arms?

Obey the law.

I do kinda like the idea of clockwork murder-bots, but this isn't what I had in mind.

Campaign spending is frankly getting out of hand.

Kim Davis is a wretched horror of a human being

This blog has the best answers to wretched, vile, scumpile Kim Davis. I suggest reading it.

J.T. Eberhard keeps hitting the right point. It needs to be made again and again: "I refuse to do my job, but I demand that you pay me" is not a fucking argument about religious freedom. It is simply the claim of a shitty person who thinks that they are more important than others. Fuck Kim Davis. Fuck her in her stupid ass. 

I am sick of bigots yelling that somehow "Freedom" means the right to fuck over others in the name of their invisible friend.

Sick. Of. It.

I hope everyone understands fully that Davis is about to be very rich, by the way. Getting jailed fits right in with the Conservative game plan. Go Fund Me accounts will be raking in the cash from Klan members worldwide to prop up this vile bigot.

It all makes me sick.

 That’s like the Burger King employee who told customers to fuck off expressing bewilderment at his firing because he was good at keeping his station clean.  Doing some parts of your job well but breaking the law and refusing services to members of the community who are entitled to them is still sucking at your job.
There’s undoubtedly somebody else out there who can handle the finances of the clerk’s office and also fulfill the rest of the position’s legal obligations.
