To the point being made at left, I’m a progressive, but I honestly couldn’t care less if white people of the American south want to wallow in incest, disease, poverty, and ignorance.

On the other hand, I am concerned about the plight of hungry children, homeless veterans, the collapse of the environment, the destruction of the educational system, and the criminal psychosis of the U.S. president.

Cynicism Incarnate

I had a friend who co-coached my son’s all-star soccer team with me 20+ years ago who told me, when I told him that I was an environmentalist, “Oh no, Craig, we must hasten to destroy the Earth, so as to welcome the return of Jesus Christ,” by which, of course, he meant the rapture, the apocalypse as discussed at length in Revelation.

I have heard some twisted s*** in my time, but this stands at or near the top.

The Coming Apocalypse

At left is a question typical of a Republican moron.  Might someone say, “No, taxes don’t need to be spent on things that serve our interests?”

The question, of course, is what actually does serve our interests.

Believe it or not, there are people in countries on this planet who think that tax money serves their interest if it goes to creating a healthier, happier, better educated, more humane society.

These are the same countries that tax rich people heavily, where attaining a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars is extremely difficult–probably impossible. But those nations don’t have homeless veterans living in the street and presidents who are rapists and convicted felons.
