The message at left is that we live among people who believe that every U.S. citizen should be armed at all times. Every teacher, real estate agent, pastry chef, little old lady, and perhaps even our kids themselves, so often murdered by lunatics with assault rifles.
I can hear the Lt. Colonel saying, “The only thing that will stop a psychotic killer with an AR-15 in a schoolroom is a six-year-old with a gun.”
Seriously, there is an important fact here: each year, the United States has 78% of the world’s mass shootings; the other 22% are the aggregate of the other 200+ nations of the world.
Are more guns the answer?
At left are the words of Neil deGrasse Tyson, noted astrophysicist and atheist.
His point here seems to be that a loving god would protect us from the threats we face from all corners of the universe.
This is a very common theme in theology: How is it possible that a loving god doesn’t help good people, while allowing evil to prosper?
But it gets worse. Is it a human concept to sentence the unfaithful to suffer eternal torture? Should unfaithful wives be stoned to death?
The list goes on and on.
Quite possibly the single most offensive part of the Trump presidency is that the White House has gone to a great deal of effort to find the very most incompetent people to fill the government’s important positions.
We have an anti-science crackpot in change of our healthcare, a climate denier heading up the EPA, and an alcoholic Fox News commentator running the most powerful military in human history.
Even the most hate-filled and stupid Americans are starting to realize that the United States is being led by a psychopath. If anything can serve as compelling evidence of this, the social media post below just may help to get the job done.
Venezuela? The country colonized by the Spanish and French? The one that’s been independent for almost 200 years? There are elementary school kids all over the country asking, “WTF?”
Yes, we’re aware that Trump needs to distract us from the many criminal accusations against him, but does he really think this will fly?
The United States Needs a Little More Insanity. Could We Have it, Please?
