Uncle Dick and Papa

It was a move so smooth and bold, accomplished with such backstage bureaucratic finesse, that it was worthy of Dick Cheney himself....

And just like the vice president, the new pope is a Jurassic archconservative who disdains the "if it feels good do it" culture and the revolutionary trends toward diversity and cultural openness since the 60's.

The two leaders are a match - absolutists who view the world in stark terms of good and evil, eager to prolong a patriarchal society that prohibits gay marriage and slices up pro-choice U.S. Democratic candidates.



.......The Republicans can build their majority by bringing strict Catholics and evangelicals - once at odds - together on what they call "culture of life" issues......

1. hmmm

The Reeptile minority can bring strict Catholics and evangelicals together on "culture of life" issues?

Does that sound like a plan?

In the end, it's all just a ploy to keep wealth distributed very unevenly.

Ratzo is very complicit in this scheme, definitely.

Remember, it's not about religion and it's not about life.

It's about dividing and conquering enough people so that the WASP materialism and classism of the plutocracy can continue unabated... as long as it can.

It' can't last that much longer though. The earth's resources are limited.

Eventually, it will come to the point that the planet won't be able to support human life....
