It’s no secret, the government is chock full of people who make dumbass decision, and make no mistake, liberals aren’t immune. However, it’s the intent that actually matters most. You can be a DumbAss sometimes and still be a decent or most of the time.

Biden is far from perfect (there’s ample DumbAssery around him), but I do believe his intentions are, for the most part, honorable and in the best interest of most Americans. On the other hand, there are many politicians that are just plain evil. Those are the ones that’ll do this country and its citizens great harm.

These EvilAsses live by a moral code that is self serving and dangerous. They stand on some kind of a false high ground that’s steeped in lies, hate, bigotry, injustice and intolerance.

They say they support democracy, but they restrict and repress voting rights, limit voting locations and hours, discourage and disqualify mail-in ballots and gerrymander districts in order to limit the representation and power of opponents.

They seek to control us in any manner they can find a way to enforce. They shout “free speech”, but, they ban books, censor educators, dictate our personal appearance, and seek to discourage our right to peacefully protest.

They claim to be ProLife, but ignore even the most basic human needs after birth; parental leave, child care, healthcare, housing, nutrition and education.

They shout about personal rights and freedom, but take away a woman’s choice, tell us what words we can say, limit our right to clean air and water and place the interest of big business ahead of individual citizens.

These aren’t just DumbAsses, they’re also EvilAsses…

We’re Fighting Now For Survival As A Free Nation And A Free People

Teach Your Children Well…

So many meaningful lyrics came out of music from the 60’s and 70’s, but none were so important as the words of this song.

CSNY’s album Deja Vu had, and still has, an impact on my life. It led me to see some truths that might have escaped me otherwise.

“The album offers sweetly harmonized instruction on how to embrace domesticity (“Our House”), raise kids (“Teach Your Children”), and steer clear of trouble without selling out (“Almost Cut My Hair”).

But Déja Vu’s great power is its enigmatic familiarity, which carries Aquarian Age ideals into a new era.”

Live On David…

Politics has always been a pretty shady business (believe me, I’ve seen it first hand and up close), but, we have now reached new lows that I never thought the American public would accept.

Maybe some of the right just don’t understand (or more likely don’t care) what morals and ethics actually are, so below I’ve listed some definitions that they might want to study. I just don’t want them to be able to claim ignorance of the facts when their judgement time comes.

Ethics – noun

• a system of moral principles: the ethics of a culture.
• the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.: medical ethics; Christian ethics.
• moral principles, as of an individual: His ethics forbade betrayal of a confidence.
• that branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions.

Morals – adjective

• of, relating to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.
• expressing or conveying truths or counsel as to right conduct.
• founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations.
• capable of conforming to the rules of right conduct: a moral being.
• conforming to the rules of right conduct (opposed to immoral).
• resting upon convincing grounds of probability; virtual: a moral certainty.

The Right Wing; Are They All Alike…

No, I don’t think so…. There isn’t one single type of Republican or right-wing conservative, there are many categories and most could easily fit into multiple groupings. The following is my attempt to list and define the groups:

The Hard Core Trumpsters

They’ll follow the guy no matter what he says, does or who he harms. It may not make sense, but that doesn’t seem to be important to these people. It’s as if they belong to a cult and their leader can do no wrong.

The Very Wealthy Oligarchs 

They are only concerned with preserving and advancing their own wealth. If you’re protecting their financial interests, they’ll do your bidding and follow you anywhere.

Old Line White Supremacist 

This group is still fighting the Civil War and doesn’t want equality or justice for anyone who isn’t white. They believe that white people are superior to those of other races and thus should dominate them. The belief favors the maintenance and defense of any power and privilege held by white people. 

The Religious Fanatics

This group would be overjoyed with a theocracy in the US. They are primarily made up of evangelical Christians. The hard core will use any Bible verse to support their idea of moral behavior and would prefer to enforce their beliefs on us all.

The Pro-Fascist 

Old liners who crave for a society and economic system they can totally control. They crave having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

The Undereducated Idiots 

These people didn’t get an education that would allow them to think for themselves. They likely don’t understand what is being discussed and prefer to be told what they should believe. 

Reasonable Republicans 

A few stand out, but there don’t seem to be very many of these compassionate Republicans left. They’re either just sitting on the fence, in hiding or have succumbed to the lure of power.

If we can convert even five or ten percent of the fence sitters we’ll have a brighter future, so, let’s keep bringing justice, truth and hope to the forefront of every conversation we have.

There are additional groups and sub-groups for sure, but these seven probably cover the vast majority of conservatives and comprise the greatest risk to democracy as we know it. 

This was only the beginning of Republicans taking from the middle and lower classes and giving to the wealthy.
