It's funny how some things make sense ... and some things don't: Politics Edition

Thoughts on Politics: 


Why are Conservative Republicans attacking:

• The poor, the needy, the underprivileged, the under-resourced, the under-represented;
• Those seeking more education;
• Religious freedoms.

It is very unfortunate that the Conservative Religious Right:

• Does not see hypocrisy of demanding that the United States of America be Christian nation and their ridicule, fear, and rabidity against Muslim nations in the Middle East.
• Choose to ignore or de-prioritize the portions of The Bible that preach tolerance, love, understanding, education, financial and resource assistance and support to those in need, non-judgment, and general kindness, among other lessons.
• Feel justified in and thoroughly enjoy attacking others because of their religious or non-religious beliefs.
• Want to interpret the Constitution of the United States literally, but not The Bible, by which they purport to live their lives.
• Demand, claim, and believe that God endorses them and their actions above those of others.

The Conservative Right abhors government “meddling” in their affairs, but they raucously demand to meddle in the affairs of the government.

Conservative religious institutions and politicians abhor and loudly decry any actions by the government that they deem as meddling in their affairs, but they raucously and angrily demand to meddle in the affairs of government, often with the goal of having the power to meddle in the affairs of other religious institutions.

The desire by GOP candidates to appeal to the Conservative Religious Right is extremely unfortunate, as religious and political persecution were two of the big motivating factors that led Europeans to settle en masse in the Americas during the 17^th century.

It is a shame that the Conservative Right has been able to turn religious profiling and persecution, racial profiling, and policies of non-cooperation/non-compromise into “matters of national security.” They seem to be completely unable to understand and learn from history.

What is the use of calling the Conservative’s Right’s on their shit if they and their audiences don’t care that they are spouting lies and inaccuracies?

If they get to say that Obama is not a Christian, then I get to say that they are not true Christians as they have no understanding of what being a Christian means. 


Thoughts on International Policy: 

International concerns with the seemingly simplest solutions become the most contentious because of politics, positions, and special interests.
