Religious Extremism

There were many things to feel thankful for this year in spite or even because of the presidential turkey that should not be pardoned.

To address the health hazards that watching Trump's speech tonight represents, such as "Screamer's Throat", "Tv Puncher's Knuckle" and "Exploding Head Syndrome", PlanetPOV will be hosting a sane and live chat.

With such an unpopular and xenophobic agenda so desperately desired, might not Trump and Bannon see it to their advantage if a terrorist attack did take place and a frightened public fell in line behind whatever they wanted to do?

The Make America Great or the Nightmare Trump? Who Won?

As Bertrand Russell said, “The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holders lack of rational conviction."

Donald Trump is not an idiot, he's not campaigning in as improvised a way as it may seem, he has a very focused strategy...

Without the massive wealth generated to the Saudis by oil, their oppressive and violent version of Islam could not have been exported across the region and Al Qaeda and ISIS would not have been birthed. Without the lust for oil by U.S. neocons, had the Iraq War never taken place, Saddam would still be the dictator of Iraq with his Iraqi Army employed and intact, there would be no ISIS threat today.

TRUMP: "Look, who is this guy to be quoting The Bible to me?! For every Corinthian he names, I can name two!"

It seems pretty clear that many "law and order" Republicans support criminality as long as it promotes their goals, whether it's these anti-abortion fanatics committing fraud, Kim Davis, militias seizing federal facilities, police shooting unarmed and innocent black men...and whenever a court finds the truth on the other side of them, they hate on justice.

I started this as an exercise on my own to determine exactly what values and beliefs the right have adopted over the past few years that would actually threaten the existence of the true conservative Republican party and perhaps this nation.
