Nixon and Trump – There is a Difference

May 22, 2017May 21, 2017 B. John 341 Views 0 Comments Trump, Clinton, Watergate, Corruption, Russiagate, Nixon, Scandal

It’s impossible to not look at history as the Trump Administration seems to be crumbling under the weight of scandal after scandal. The ties to Russia appear to be growing and becoming more irrefutable. The President and his aids are certainly acting much like people in the Nixon White House leading up to the resignation. The Comey firing is akin to Nixon’s Saturday night massacre. It certainly looks like an attempt to cover it up us underway, and the idea of White House tapes of conversations have been thrown around. But there are differences between the Nixon and Trump Administrations, and that’s what I hope to analyze here.

My Discussion of the 2nd Amendment

June 28, 2016October 29, 2022 B. John 3791 Views 1 Comment

I’ve previously written about the debunking of the “Good Guy with a Gun” idea that ammosexuals are constantly advancing. In this article, I’d like to write about the other idea they lean on for their justification, the violent overthrow of the federal government. I hear this often accompanying the Facebook memes about gun control. There’s this idea that bubbles around with these folks that if they just have enough people with enough guns they can “take back our government.”

How Much An LGBT Life is Worth to Marco Rubio

June 21, 2016March 10, 2018 B. John 653 Views 8 Comments Gun Control, NRA, Marco Rubio, #Richard Burr, republicans, #Sellout, #Cheapskate

We supposedly have a representative form of government, carrying out the will of the people. Nearly 90% of Americans are in favor of increased background checks and prohibiting terrorists from buying guns. But I guess 90% isn’t representative enough for Republicans. This being the result of votes on 4 gun control measures in the U.S. Senate last night.

Wayne LaPierre-Douche-Bag of The Day

Let it never be said that NRA Chief, Wayne LaPierre, let a gun massacre go by without encouraging the sell of even more guns. Yes folks, this douche-bag, just a week from the worst gun massacre is out selling the false narrative that this was a terrorist attack, and they are coming for you, so you’d better buy more guns.

Thoughts on Orlando

June 14, 2016June 14, 2016 B. John 386 Views 2 Comments Terrorism, Guns, Orlando, Pulse, LGBT, Religion, homophobia, bigotry

This is something of a stream of thought on my impressions after the Orlando Shooting this weekend. It may not make much sense, and likely isn’t my last word on the subject. But to be clear, this is not some part of international Jihad or terrorism. This is homophobia at it worst, nothing more nor less, and we need to call it that.

Senator David Perdue–Douche of the Day

June 10, 2016September 29, 2018 B. John 534 Views 4 Comments David Perdue, senate, Imprecatory Prayer, Georgia, Psalms

Well, for more on God’s gentle loving people, we turn today to a religious conference held last week in Georgia. Republican Senator from Georgie, David Perdue, discussed praying in imprecatory prayer against the President. Since the Senator thinks that’s a good idea, we’re giving him our Douche of the Day award.

I was recently involved in an exchange with someone in a discussion thread about elections, candidates, and what a sad state we’ve reached in this country. We seem no longer interested in extending the right to free and fair elections, but have allowed Republican controlled legislatures and Congress to withdraw that freedom. And that doesn’t even take into account the Republican Clown Car of candidates they’ve posited for President.

Evangelical Ugliness Directed at the Pope

October 1, 2015September 29, 2018 B. John 291 Views 0 Comments Pope Francis, Krazy Kristian Kooks, Teabangelicals, Facebook

Unless you live under a rock, you know the Pope visited the US last week. There was much hope that this Pope might further soften the exclusive tone of Catholic doctrine as espoused by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and while never moving to change doctrine, he did give several speeches indicating that he believed the Church’s emphasis needs to move away from culture war issues to caring for the poor and taking care of our planet. This, of course, set the hair on fire of many of America’s evangelical wing. When Ratzinger was Pope, they had a friend in Rome, but now the two branches of Christianity seem to be, once again, going their separate ways.

Dark Ages in America: Now?

September 1, 2015September 29, 2018 B. John 889 Views 1 Comment Dark Ages, Republic, Education, exploration, evolution, Creationism, Climate Change

In the previous century, America, through public and private cooperation and investment built an unrivaled infrastructure. We became the country that invented the things of a new and exciting world, and we built those things. We put in place a social safety net. We weren’t perfect, but we tried, and We looked to the future with excitement and anticipation, but today, we seem to be in a rush to go backwards as far and fast as possible. We fear everything, and demand absolute security, and think it can be found in some nostalgic past.

Rep. Steve King, Talking Lawnmowers and The Baker Act

July 31, 2015September 29, 2018 B. John 357 Views 0 Comments Congress, Steve King, bigotry, Lawnmowers, hate, Talking Lawnmowers, Iowa

It worries and embarrasses me the idiocy I see in too many of our elected officials, and making it worse is the knowledge we elect them, and keep re-electing them. Evangelicals and Conservatives, especially Republican conservatives seem to try to out-stupid each other, and the rhetoric has simply crossed a line, especially on the gay marriage issue. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa[they should be really proud]) provides a ton of grist for the stupid mill, and I think his latest, were he anyone else, would qualify him for a Baker Act petition.

Louie Gohmert and Troop Massages

October 28, 2014 B. John 203 Views 1 Comment texas, military, Louie Gohmert, Stephen Colbert, Greeks, Massages

It is incredible that even the folks in Texas keep electing Louie to the U.S. House. The guy is truly beyond absurd nearly every time he opens his mouth, and he’s been opening his mouth again with some strange word salad about gays in the military, the Greeks, and massages. As usual, Stephen Colbert sends up the crazy as only he can.
