Isn’t It Time We Called Out White Christian Victimhood For The Lie That It Is?
Jesus, guns & babies? For real? Note to white, Christian “victims” of the culture war YOU declared – especially those so terrified of the rest of us that they must have all the guns they want – military grade killing machines included: the REAL victims in the world – untold millions of them yours – […]

The Second Amendment Does NOT Give Anyone The Right To Own A Gun
Ya wanna be an originalist? Go read the original: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Please point to the word “own”. Good luck. It ain’t there. Instead, the amendment’s authors chose two different words: “keep” […]

The “Out Of Tune” Sound Of Liars & Their Lying
People telling the truth sound one way. People who are lying sound another. Try as hard as they like, most liars give themselves away in real time. If the people hearing their lies know what to listen for? They’ll hear the confession for themselves. Experienced liars invest that “experience” into not looking like they’re lying. […]

America Has A Gun Problem Because Of Its Christianity Problem
Whattaya think? Would Jesus have been down with former Republican nominee for Georgia governor Kendiss Taylor? Would Jesus have said Kendiss was the one HE had been waiting for? I mean, at least Kendiss gave Jesus billing over the guns. We should note that the guns got billing over the babies. Such as it ever […]

What If We Stopped Calling Them “Guns” And Started Calling them “Death Machines” Instead?
Stone cold fact: from the get-go, guns were imagined as a way to kill living things more efficiently than the technologies preceding it could. One can mass murder people with a bow and arrow but it’s way harder than doing it with an AR15. Way harder. Yeah, sure, one can take out a crowd with […]

In Their Defense, Corruption Just Comes “Naturally” To Conservatives
Where corruption’s concerned, both sides don’t do it because both sides can’t. They don’t have the means. Put aside political labels for a second. Ideology may inspire corruption but without the money and power to realize those inspirations, ideology is a nice car without an engine. Those with money and power have the tools required […]

America’s Gun Laws Have Been Written BY White People FOR White People And To PROTECT White People
I repeat: America’s gun laws have always been written BY white people FOR white people, the whole point being to protect WHITE people (from everyone else). In fact, the history of America’s gun laws – after the Second Amendment was written (and the gaming of the Second Amendment began) – is the history of white […]

Why Religious Hypocrites Are The WORST Hypocrites
When history looks back at our time, I suspect they’ll see it as a Golden Age of Corruption, Greed, Racism and Hypocrisy. The four horsemen of our modern apocalypse (to be sure, there are a few more horsemen riding with them – Misogyny, Bigotry and Ignorance). As bad as the other three are, Hypocrisy, though […]

Maybe There SHOULD Be A Red America And A Blue America
Apparently the Civil War solved nothing. That’s what happens when the side that loses the war ends up winning the peace that follows. Usually, it’s the winners who get to write a war’s history. In America’s case, the Civil War’s losers managed a very neat trick. They turned a war about slavery into a war […]
