Indiana's New Religious Law legalizing Discrimination

The Republicans are still trying to conceal their bigotry, this time (again) calling it Religious Freedom. What a joke they are… thinking people are so stupid that they could slip this act of discrimination by them without any objections. The only ones who believe this chicanery to be a righteous sign of religious freedom, are the diehards on the Far Fringe Right-wing side of sanity.
Anyone else can tell this is an odious and hateful law that reaches so far back in time, it mimics the days when tolerance, was a mark of weakness.
INTOLERANCE –lack of tolerance; unwillingness orrefusal to tolerate or respect opinions or beliefs contrary to one's own.

The Concept of a Monolithic God

Did you ever wonder when a monolithic god was first conceived? This YouTube documentary delves into the ‘whys’ and ‘whens’ of the stories from the bible and the beginnings of a monolithic god. It’s interesting and should be watched by all, especially those who do not like to question their religious dogma, because they of all people should come to the realization that life needn’t be gripped in fear of something that was created by humankind thousands of years ago. 

 I truly believe the only way our species will ever find peace is to understand that we are all one, living in a mysterious physical world and with the help of science, we may or we may not find the answers to existence.
(But without a doubt, science, not blind religion is our only hope.)

Phil Robertson, The Quintessential Nut, Barks Again

Is it possible that there are people who take this CHARLATAN, swindler, con-artist, cheat, con, fake, fraud, imposter, mountebank, phony, pretender, quack, sham, rip-off artist, (and they are just some of the nicer words that describe this idiot) for a real honest- to-goodness cleric, pastor, imam, rabbi, pontiff, bishop, priest, Unitarian Minister, etc.? If it is possible… it’s a pitiful sign of the times we live in! 
Come to think of it, this nut is not new; he’s been around for ages, as the quintessential barker on some street corner, peddling THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END… But in saner times, all (at least most) knew he was off-balance and did not, could not, take him serious… What Happened?

Religious Dogma Causes A Sadness Beyond Words

An unspeakable tragedy caused by religious dogma. All those young lives lost due to restraints a belief system can put on one’s common sense. I'm sure if anyone familiar with fire safety had gone through that home, they would have seen, immediately, the pending danger a crude hotplate posed... And why was it there in the first place, because people wanted to get around the loopholes in some non-thinking doctrinal ancient writing that told them they were sinners if they refused to obey what was drafted thousands of years ago. A sadness beyond words, that did not have to happen. thinkingblue

GOP, Out For Blood!

Who They Gonna Hurt? Like Any Carnivorous Animal, The Vulnerable.
The GOP's unemotional and indifference towards the vulnerable in our society is blatant, they even, without restraint, shout it from the rooftops. Yet still, they get away with lowering taxes on wealthy corporate bodies while gutting safety nets for human bodies. They manipulate the masses just as any religion or cult controls its flock, with the use of fear. When are we going to grow up and tell them THEY ARE WRONG, malevolence is wrong?
My guess is, not for quite some time; especially when you consider Israel's recent election results, Bibi Netanyahu won again using the good old fashion Right-Wing ploy, FEAR!
And so, the human misery will continue for the Right-Wing controlled Israel and for we who live in the USA, controlled by the Right-Wing House and Senate.
The human misery will continue and so will the sadness it brings.
Until maybe, just maybe, one day we will all finally grow up and not allow the Right-Wing or any war mongering, power hungry entity, control our vote using fear.

I can dream, can't I? thinkingblue
A desperate Netanyahu used fear to grab the most seats in the election, but his rejection of a Palestinian state will further isolate the Jewish state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu won a big election Tuesday, but he won ugly by staking out a new position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is likely to harm his nation in the months ahead.

A reckoning is coming—faster than expected—for Netanyahu, his Likud Party and maybe even for the State of Israel itself.

Complete returns showed that Netanyahu’s Likud Party won 29 seats in the Knesset to 24 seats for the Zionist Union (formerly Labor) Party headed by Isaac Herzog, who ran a more spirited campaign than expected but almost certainly fell short of the support necessary to form a government.

Israel’s president, Reuven Rivlin, whose job consists mostly of presiding over elections, said not long after the polls closed that he wants a coalition government and has given Netanyahu, Herzog and the other party leaders a couple of days to engage in a frenzy of (largely unconsummated) deal-making. But Herzog’s parliamentary math problem got worse as the evening wore on, and it’s hard to see where he finds the “mandates” (seats) to prevail.

________________
"Machiavellianism" is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described in The Prince. The book itself gained enormous notoriety and wide readership because the author seemed to be endorsing behavior often deemed as evil and immoral. Because of this, the term "Machiavellian" is often associated with deceit, deviousness, ambition, and brutality.

Nonbinding GOP Budget Plan CUTS, CUTS, CUTS Until WE Bleed To Death

An inquiring mind would like to know... Why does the GOP dislike hungry needy children, the elderly and the working poor? Why do they believe, only those at the top who managed to make it rich (whatever means they used to get there) deserve existence and life? The Republican base is largely made up of the very people they seem to dislike, why are they voted back into office repeatedly?

Bibi Netanyahu, Tea Party, Neocon or Both for Israel?

Bibi Netanyahu, Tea Party, Neocon or Both for Israel? A question most know the answer to.
When I read an article like this, "On March 17, it will be a mitzvah to vote against Netanyahu the Toxic" I empathize with the people of Israel, those who want peace and are faced with a brutal leader who wants anything but peace.
We Americans went through the same ordeal during the 2000 election, but unlike Israel (who knows unequivocally that Netanyahu is a genuine warmonger), we weren’t so sure what we were going to get with a George W. Bush/ Dick Cheney administration. Little did we realize, (speaking for myself) America was about to suffer hardships beyond belief, personal and national grief that's still wrenching our spirit to this very day.

GOP Health Care Plan - Bad Meds

Excerpt: Last week's oral arguments suggested that Justice Antonin Scalia, at least, found this argument appealing. In what is destined to become the most famous exchange of the session, he asked Verrilli: "You really think Congress is just going to sit there while all of these disastrous consequences ensue?"

Verrilli replied: "This Congress, your honor?" (You can hear Verrilli's disbelief, and laughter it provoked among court spectators, in the audio of the oral arguments posted on the court website; the exchange with Scalia starts at the 55:35 mark.)

Heritage-Uncertainty-Principle Excerpt: Episodes like this one have grown so familiar that they’ve lost all capacity to surprise. Conservative health-care-policy ideas reside in an uncertain state of quasi-existence. You can describe the policies in the abstract, sometimes even in detail, but any attempt to reproduce them in physical form will cause such proposals to disappear instantly. It’s not so much an issue of “hypocrisy,” as Klein frames it, as a deeper metaphysical question of whether conservative health-care policies actually exist.

Easy Pickens Under The Law.

So, you think you live in a free country... Better, think again if you are of low to no income... It appears anyone who lives on the edge, hanging on by his or her fingernails... is up for grabs by all that is unholy and greedy in America. Banks, Oil, Big Pharma, Big Medical and Big Insurance, you name it, even local government whose suppose to help not gouge will dip its hands into the poor pot and grab at the easy pickins from people who are unable to fight back ... Sad beyond belief. thinkingblue

Excerpt: “The new Department of Justice report depicts a system in Ferguson that is much closer to a racket aimed at squeezing revenue out of its population than a properly working democracy,” wrote George Washington University political scientist Henry Farrell in the Monkey Cage blog, which runs in The Washington Post.
