So much for equal protection under the law. Talk about unamerican. Trump just throws away our founding principles and then shits on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called it &#8220;radical and wasteful&#8221;. I guess all of America is radical and wasteful then Mr President?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disgusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For as much as conservatives want to pretend they&#8217;re the party of American principles and values, they sure love throwing them to the wayside and shitting all over them at every opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I left the right for the same reason I left Christianity; it&#8217;s a bait and switch game of hypocritical bullshit. Say one thing while doing the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s sad is so many don&#8217;t even comprehend the reality of it. Christians are supposed to aspire to live like Christ but instead they do the opposite.Love thy neighbor as thyself? No can&#8217;t do that, they&#8217;re gay, or trans, or Muslim, or undocumented.Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the Earth? No thanks I&#8217;ll vote for the most obnoxious, money and power hungry grifter I can find. It is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God? I&#8217;ll ignore than and pretend the most pious man is the adulterer rapist billionaire because sometimes he poses for photo ops with a Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I say conservatives are stupid, this kind of shit is why. It&#8217;s like willfully pulling the wool over your own eyes and then blaming your neighbor for not being able to see where you&#8217;re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they love to repeat the word freedom over and over but it&#8217;s clear none of them even know what it means and if they did they&#8217;d realize they don&#8217;t actually want freedom. Freedom is the right to do anything you want as long as you&#8217;re not hurting anyone else, including stuff you don&#8217;t like. That means smoking pot, that means getting an abortion, (anyone else doesn&#8217;t apply to a fetus, that isn&#8217;t a person and you&#8217;re just an idiot who hasn&#8217;t done the homework if you think otherwise), that means practicing witchcraft, that means playing violent video games, that means swearing in public, that means burning a Bible in the middle of town square, that means shooting up with heroin. That means being in the country undocumented without it being illegal. Don&#8217;t like that stuff? Then you&#8217;re not actually in favor of freedom so shut the fuck up about it. If an America where you can do all those things legally isn&#8217;t the America you want then you actually hate freedom. Because that&#8217;s what words mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m convinced most conservatives have never opened a dictionary for how much they use words wrong. They love to call stuff communist but I doubt a single one of them has ever even read Marx so how the fuck do they expect to know what that word actually means? They never do the homework.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest headlines; More racism from the Whitehouse. &#8220;Trump orders all federal diversity, equity and inclusion employees placed on paid leave.
