Trump would never lie his way into a war for oil, like Dick Cheney and his Minion President did, would he?
Unless..."Terrorism", "our oil", and "regime change”, oh, my!
It seems like just yesterday, literally yesterday, when Trump’s ridiculous, unhinged, childish, and outrageously lie-filled “Presidential Walk of Fame” was revealed. (I won't elaborate on his evil smears of cancer victim Joe Biden, but they rank down there with his despicable hate and cruelty towards Rob Reiner.)
The plaque for Bush Jr. reads, "largely defined by the events of Sept. 11, 2001." It also says Bush, "started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened."
On
this, I agree. Remember when MAGA enthusiastically embraced Trump as their “man
of peace” who wouldn’t start any such war?
Until now. That didn’t age well. As expected, Gabbard will politicize our intelligence assessments and bend them towards one of Trump’s excuses to wage war on Venezuela.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired two top officials on the National Intelligence Council in a move aimed at ending the “weaponization and politicization” of the intelligence community, a spokesperson for her office confirmed Wednesday.
Gabbard terminated NIC acting director Mike Collins and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, weeks after the intelligence body authored an assessment that contradicted President Donald Trump’s claims about Venezuelan gang members.
They’re already feeling a rush of power as Trump murders people and captures an oil tanker on the open seas. It's not murder because Trump says it isn't. It's not theft because Trump says it isn't. Trump’s actions and blockade of Venezuela are acts of war.
Those human beings and boats he’s destroying off Venezuela were never a threat to America and were likely carrying cocaine intended for Europe.
Obviously, “America first” does not apply here. His war on Venezuela has nothing to do with fentanyl, even though Trump wants to call it a “Weapon of Mass Destruction”.
Oh, but this is a new kind of “terrorism”, one that Trump invented himself. "Drug Terrorism":
“I hereby designate illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).”
Authoritarians are notorious for rejecting accepted definitions of words and redefining them in order to fear-monger.
For the record:
Merriam-Webster’s
definition of “weapon”:
1
something (such as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy
2 a means of contending against another
"Terrorism", "our oil", and "regime change”.
Ding, ding, ding! That rings a bell.
It was never about drugs. It’s all a cover for his ambition to steal oil for his fellow oligarchs and force regime change. My prediction is Putin will talk Trump out of it, but only after the ensuing chaos has done its work for the Kremlin.
We know for certain that the Criminal President doesn’t give a damn about public health and the lives of Americans.
Nearly 47,000 people died of gun-related injuries in the United States in 2023, according to the latest available statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
More than 26,000 Americans die each year due to the lack of health insurance.
While overdoses are still tragically too frequent, they are on the decline.
For the first time since 2018, the United States has seen a decrease in drug overdose deaths and poisonings, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noting a 14.5 percent decrease in deaths between June 2023 and June 2024. More than 107,000 people lost their lives to a drug overdose in 2023, with nearly 70 percent of those deaths attributed to opioids such as fentanyl.
70,000
opioid overdose deaths are terrible, but opioids are still not the deadliest substance for Americans
If fentanyl is an “WMD”, how about the far more lethal substances?
About 178,000 people die from excessive drinking each year.
Cigarette smoking causes about one of every five deaths in the United States each year. More than 480,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke).
No worries. When it comes to corporate profits, American lives are expendable. "No blood for oil" is just lame, and so woke.

CNN’s top data guru Harry Enten revealed this morning that the approval rating for Democrats is at an all-time low, and adds that as far as the American public is concerned, it’s lower than the Dead Sea.
Even among just Democratic voters, it’s still really bad.
Thanks for the poll info, Vern. Have you been indoctrinated on what to think about war with Venezuela yet? I'll share your opinion on the topic, but not more deflections.
House Democrats face low approval ratings in a Quinnipiac poll. Their voters are disappointed.

Republicans 43%
Democrats 47%
Knowhatahmean, Vern?
What is most startling is the mere +4% gap in favor of dems. Given the orange toddler in cheif and HIS party's dismal, no, horrific record of ignorant incompetence one would expect a much wider difference. Like 25% or mpre.
But this is America, many still asleep in their dreams, refusing to wake up.
The massive radical Right propaganda machine has done its job.
Most Americans are either uninformed or duped by disinformation. They sense the rich should be taxed more, but out of fear, resentment, racism and gullibility, they vote for greater inequality, cruelty to the vulnerable, and high healthcare costs through politicians who are owned by the economic elites who profit from our corrupted system..
Yup. I blame the intentional dumbing down of America by the republican party. Trump, its face of change encapsulated the gop's posistion very well when he uttered, I love the uneducated. As Trump and Project 2025 decimated the educational system to insure the continued ignorance of people will keep THEM and their greed in power.
Trump us but their useful idiot.
The US FAILS as a democratic republic. Clear evidence that the rich own Congress:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/19/most-americans-continue-to-favor-raising-taxes-on-corporations-higher-income-households/
More than six-in-ten U.S. adults (63%) say tax rates on large businesses and corporations should be raised.
Republicans know their ignorant, duped, and racist white base will be happy with tax cuts for the rich as long as people they hate will suffer.
Not many comments on the breathtaking comments by Trump that Venezuelan Oil is our oil.
If there has been a more colonialist statement by a post Nixon president, including Reagan, I'm not aware of it.
Venezuelan oil is Venezuelan oil. Period. Full Stop.
Unless of course you believe oil in the present day US, which was once Mexico, is Mexico's oil.
How do people synthesize their world views into a cohesive belief system these days? Especially when they lack the skills to not just understand, but even know history.
For sure Dave. Ignorance, delusion, and their deep conditioning through listening to and accepting con propaganda (to insure the wealthy elite retain power) over a very many years has produced the sheeple the authoritarian elite need to retain power.
From "divine right of kings" through Hitler, Stalin, and Trump, religion and political indoctrination have paid off handsomely for the greediest, most corrupt, and cruelest of leaders.
From Hitlers, “What good fortune for those in power that people do not think”, to Trump's, "I love the poorly educated", the pattern is clear.
This flaw will eventually result in the extinction of the human species.
Dave,
It's called imperialism. The ignorant masses have no clue what that means, just as they have no clue about socialism, representative democracy, or communism.
I'm still waiting on their answer to, "Have you been indoctrinated on what to think about war with Venezuela yet?"
Ayup. The greed that prevents the capitalistic wealthy elite from respecting and protecting our environment and the natural world will eventually lead to the extinction of the human race and likely very many other life forms.
The Democrats are sinking like a stone; the new Quinnipiac poll makes it official, as their congressional approval rating has hit a historic new low of just 18%, with a brutal 73% disapproving rating. That's the worst number Quinnipiac has recorded since they started asking the question back in 2009. Even CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide his shock, declaring that "Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea." Their party leaders have dramatically dragged them lower than a caterpillar's belly.. Especially Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jasmine Crockpot.
Annie,
Unlike the authoritarian party of Trump, Democratic voters are free to disapprove of and disagree with their elected officials. MTG found out what happens when she disagreed with Trump. DEATH THREATS.
Don't mistake voter disapproval of Democrats translating to more votes for Republicans.
I see you missed this:

As if on cue... another lame right wing MAGATrump supporter who is unable to read, stay on topic or provide any evidence of a specious claim.
Seems like the point of your post started with oil based colonialism and hung out around the scourge of drug abuse in the US and our desire for regime change in Venezuela.
Yet loser Annie, like all the MAGA lovers who post here, are unable to refute your posts so they just add boiler plate info they no doubt cribbed from the Stench Trench...
Dave,
Since they're lacking in critical thinking and are unable to process information they've been conditioned to reject, they can only regurgitate their pre-approved talking points. It gives them identity and sense of belonging. The comfort, sense of purpose, and comradery are accompanied by a dopamine release.
It's like an addicting drug for them. They crave and repeat.
So you Dave aren’t the only Idiotic NAME CALLING SOB ON THS STUPID AND FAKE NEWS BLOG, THE MEXICAN LOVE AND AMERICAN HATING ASSWIPE DAVE MILLER EVEN HAS YOU BEAT.
Anonymous,
Did you enjoy your dopamine fix?
Clearly YOU win the title of #1 "Idiotic NAME CALLING SOB".
We'll have to award you with a medal and title in YOUR OWN WORDS. LOL!
Announcing the "Anonymous Vern Idiotic NAME CALLING SOB Award"!
Congratulations!
Dave, your MAGA posters are THE BEST POSTERS. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER GROUP OF POSTERS. THEY'RE SO SMART THEY KNOW STUFF WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. AND THEY SPEAK LIKE THIS, YELLING, AS IF CAPS MAKE THEM EVEN MORE LITERATE THAN THE ILLITERATI. IF ONLY WE HAD MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS THE UNITED STATES WOULD NOT NEED ANY OTHER COUNTRY FOR ANYTHING. THEY COULD THEN START ANOTHER MOVEMENT. CALL IT MASA, MAKE AMERICA STUPID AMERICA. BASING ALL KNOWLEDGE ON FEELINGS AND SECRET KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE FACTS AREN'T NECESSARY. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. SIGNED... AMERICAN ORIGINAL, AMERICA AND MEXICO LOVER DAVE MILLER
Dave, back to the seriousness of your post.
The Trump Admin said they were only blockading already sanctioned ships carrying oil to and from Venezuela. I think most Americans, myself included, can say what use are sanctions without teeth? So good on Trump for this. If the world has decided that boats going to our are connected to Iran and fair game and should be plying international waters, then SOMEONE needs to be the teeth.
But the problem is this... yesterday we boarded and took another boat. One that had not been sanctioned. This is pure and unadulterated piracy. From the United States of America, the former beacon of the free world that respects, defends and projects honor, respect, democracy, law and order around the globe.
At least we used to.
Anon, you must be a very proud trumper who idolizes one of the most hateful POS on the planet. Because your seething hate mirrors the jackass you worship, tRump, the authoritarian insurrectionist and pathological liar.
Dave,
Let's remember who "sanctioned" those ships. Trump did. He expanded the US embargos and sanctions. Venezuela has been a target for the US since they decided their oil was theirs, and not ours. We trade with Saudi Arabia (birthplace of al-Qaeda), China and Vietnam (communists), but not Iran, Venezuela and Cuba. Punching down on third world countries defines an international bully, not the "leader of the free world". It does nothing to promote peace and prosperity.
Will you TWO Progressive Dummies Dave,Dubya and Dave Miller (Three if you wish to include that other "Half-Wit" Les) Stop degrading President Trump long enough just to tell us poor Trump supporter Even ONE Good Thing That YOUR Hero Joe Biden did for this Country besides make a Total Jackass out of himself?
After reading the POS Blog for the Very First Time, I must admit that to me this seems to be like reading a Journal written by a Home-Grown Communist
Lauren,
As an uneducated, rude, and ignorant MAGA nitwit, you think you know more than you actually do. Your head and heart are full of Trump's lies and hate.
Let's start with Biden's infrastructure law and the CHIPS and Science Act, the U.S. federal statute enacted by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on August 9, 2022. The act authorizes roughly $280 billion in new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States, for which it appropriates $52.7 billion. The act includes $39 billion in subsidies for chip manufacturing on U.S. soil along with 25% investment tax credits for costs of manufacturing equipment, and $13 billion for semiconductor research and workforce training, with the dual aim of strengthening American supply chain resilience and countering China.
Yup, it takes a real "stable genius", aka idiot, to think this "ruined the nation".
The Inflation Reduction Act, negotiated over two years and passed with Democratic votes alone, enabled the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over drug prices and phased in out-of-pocket spending caps for seniors. In 2024 the cap was $3,400; it’s now $2,000.
The Trump Cult whines that Biden cut US oil production, so they will have to IGNORE this US Field Production of Crude Oil:
December 2020: 346, 553,000 Barrells (Trump)
May 2024: 408,8849,000 Barrells (Biden)
Despite Trump's LIES, the crime rate came DOWN under Biden.
https://www.factcheck.org/2024/10/crime-stats-still-show-a-decline-since-2020/
Lauren, I know damn well you'll IGNORE THE FACTS because you are IN A CULT. Pull your head out of Trump's ass and see the light of day for a change.
Anderson,
After reading your comment I must admit that to me this seems like reading the simple words of a truly ignorant dupe who thinks disagreeing with Trump and knowing he's a criminal and liar means someone is a communist.
I would dare you to support your bullshit hate with evidence, but I know for CERTAIN you're too stupid to gather information and apply critical thinking.
All you're capable of is regurgitating Trump's neo-Nazi hate and lies.
IF you're mentally up to it, I invite you to set me straight with facts.
“Dave, I have to say you are stating falsehoods by claiming (_____) and (_______). These verifiable facts and evidence (_____) and (____) suggest you are quite mistaken. These words from you advocate communist ideology:(-------------------)."
Whatcha say, Anderson? Show us how smart and informed you are.
LOL! I know you can't.
Here you go Lauren... here's a few infrastructure projects completed during the Biden Admin, from the Build Back Better bill, all of which were trumpeted by the US Congressional leaders from their districts, mostly from the GOP...
-Water Infrastructure: Over 367,000 lead pipes replaced (benefiting nearly 1 million people), funding for 2,400 water/wastewater projects, and the Lewis and Clark Rural Water System expanded.
-Bridges: Funding for major bridges like the Blatnik Bridge (WI/MN) and I-55 America's River Crossing (TN/AR) is underway, with smaller ones like the Second Avenue Bridge (Detroit) and Montgomery Avenue Bridge (Philly) done.
-Broadband: Funding to expand the discount broadband program to reach millions more families, making it accessible to almost 15 million households by late 2022/early 2023.
-Rail: Significant investments in passenger rail, including progress on the Hudson River Tunnel and Frederick Douglas Tunnel.
Ports & Airports: Over 580 port projects and modernization at 1,500+ airports have been announced or are underway.
-Lead & Pollution Cleanup: Over 9,000 orphaned oil/gas wells plugged and funds for Superfund site cleanups.
All of these are verifiable and good for America.
Do you need more? Also, during the Biden Admin, the stock market rose to record high levels.
Anderson... here's the beauty of America. It's a free country. No one is forcing you to read anything here. It's your choice.
So if you don't like it, choose differently.
Or bring some facts and evidence to the table.
Dave,
Lauren and Anderson will certainly NOT read anything in our responses because they simply do not want to learn what they DON'T want to know.
Trump's word is their gospel. Only his sycophantic propagandists are worthy of their attention.
Bottom line: There's no reasoning with a cult.
When one is devoid of curiosity and prefers to be told what to think and what to say the results are folk like Lauren and Anderson. Very content to mouth the words approved by their Savior Fuhrer, the Orange Marmalade Dictator dOnald tRump.
Dave Dubya, First of all: your answer isn't correct.
and Secondly, I don't really care what you think!
I don't know Dave... I think they don't respond because they don't know how to read. How else to explain comments that are unrelated to a post, an inability to check for typos and an inability to respond to direct questions?
I'm pretty sure it's not because they're just contrarian idiots, so there must be something else.
I mean there's no way they are just copying and pasting comments from somewhere else, posted under another name is there? What person who could read and form original thoughts would do that?
Annie,
So you don't care to think, or to cite and explain why something isn't correct.
How does it feel to be so intellectually lazy and utterly helpless in rational discourse?
I mean, ALL you have left are FEELINGS. Poor thing.
Dave,
One thing the MAGA crowd teaches us is how the poorly educated have such a low literacy level. Who needs to read when Trump's word is gospel?
Their cult leader literally tells them what to believe, who to hate, and who to blame. (Everyone BUT Trump and his lapdog minions, of course.)
Trump knows just how to trigger their FEELINGS. He plays them like puppets, pulling their emotional strings.
Facts never get in their way. I'd say their ignorance is bliss, but being so benighted is anything but bliss. A self satisfied and self-righteous state of ignorance is their emotional security blanket
Compassion and wisdom inseparable (the heart-mind) are neccessary components of rational thought and discourse. Both are missing from MAGAts (Trump cultists).
Yes Annie, you do care, or you wouldn't bother to contribute here. It makes you feel good, doesn't it, to just say stuff, ungrounded in reality, devoid of facts.
But hey... those feelings.
Dave... here's part of Trump's statement regarding the oil and other resources of Venezuela...
"The blockade will remain, he wrote on Truth Social, until the South American nation returns “to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.”
Where can we begin as we think about this...
1. The blockade will not remain until Venezuela returns anything. Because we're going to make it our 51st state, none of what he called for in this statement will ever happen.
2. What is Trump talking about? Land? Venezuela is US land? Hey Sal, Anon, Suzanne and the rest of you MAGA ClownBots, how is this possible? Is Trump wrong? Deluded? Crazy? Off his rocker?
3. The oil is not ours either. We encouraged Venezuela to take over their oil fields themselves. It was part of helping them become a better country free of direct US involvement.
4. What are all those US assets Trump is talking about?
All of this will be over for Trump the minute Maduro heads to his dacha in eastern Europe. Then we'll have another unstable Iraq like country on our hands, in our hemisphere.
Dave,
Trump's brain is rotting.

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.
Frank George, Ph.D.
Dec 07, 2025
Trump’s symptoms don’t align with Alzheimer’s.
On the surface some may seem like they fit. Plus, many people wrongly confuse Alzheimer’s with dementia in general and lump all the symptoms together.
A serious symptom analysis quickly debunks Alzheimer’s.
Trump’s symptoms are consistent with another, less common but more disruptive and, in his case horrific, disorder — Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). There are a couple of subtypes with important distinctions, but his changes in personality and behavior, along with specific language and physical problems, are consistent with FTD variants.
A HUGE and Critical Distinction
This isn’t guesswork pulled from thin air. This is the conclusion drawn from analysies by hundreds of clinical and research experts in mental health.
What is FTD?
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) refers to a group of disorders caused by progressive nerve cell loss mainly in the brain’s frontal lobes (the areas behind your forehead) and/or its temporal lobes (the regions behind your ears).
FTD causes massive loss of tissue in the frontal and temporal lobes
Brain regions impaired in FTD are the ones responsible for self-monitoring, impulse control, and reality-checking. The nerve cell damage caused by FTD leads to loss of function in these brain regions, and by FTD, the nerve cell loss is most prominent in areas that control conduct, judgment, empathy and foresight.
A key symptom found in FTD is confabulation. This is seen when a person creates confident, detailed fabrications that fill gaps without any awareness they’re false. As the brain’s frontal lobes and their networks degenerate, one effect is that a person’s ability to evaluate whether a memory is accurate weakens.
In fact, confabulation is used as a key indicator for FTD.
Confabulation is much less frequent in Alzheimer’s, because Alzheimer’s primarily affects memory-storage regions (like the hippocampus), causing forgetting rather than inventing.
A result of confabulation, disturbing but true, is that Trump could likely “ace” a lie detector test (as opposed to a cognitive test) because he truly believes what he says.
1. Confabulation
It’s not lying — it’s filling gaps with invented memories he believes.
Watch for: highly specific claims that are clearly false.
Malignant Narcissism twist: the invented memories are usually grandiose ,self-serving, or feeding off a vengeance.
2. Phonemic Paraphasias
Speech sounds scrambled (“Obamna,” “United Shates”).
Malignant Narcissism twist: he never self-corrects. Instead he blames equipment, pretends it’s intentional, or calls someone “stupid.”
3. Tangential / disorganized speech
Losing the thread, drifting into non sequiturs.
Malignant Narcissism twist: he reframes it as “the weave,” demands applause, and calls it genius.
4. Impulse-control failures
The frontal lobes can’t filter impulses.
Malignant Narcissism twist: hostility, threats, public rage, sending sycophants to do his dirty deeds, persecution narratives.
Dave... have a great couple of days! Merry Christmas to you and yours...
Dave,
Well under way, here.
I just picked up a carrot cake and lemon cake and the wife is starting on her spectacular beef tenderloin with tawny port and shallots sauce.
The wonderful aroma is rising up to my study as I type. Trying not to drool on the keyboard.
We must never allow the MAGA axis of evil to steal our joy! Good cheer and a Merry Christmas to you, my friend.
The joy of X'mas has been replaced with the recognition of non-duality and the joyful bliss of living simply and honestly. Year round.
Happy Holidays!
Les,
Bliss and happiness are choices. Sadly most people are either suffering or haven't figured that out yet.
They have my sympathy. I discovered what real depression is like after a doctor prescribed Neurontin (gabapentin) for me. Bad medicine with a terrible side effect.
If Pagans, Jews, and Christians want to celebrate the season, I'm with them.
Jehovah's Witnesses are the season's real party poopers. I do enjoy telling them why I won't join their religion, and the poor souls try to be patient enough to hear me out. They knew I was on to something, or at least agreed with much of what I said. If only there was a golden rule everyone could accept...
I have askewed religion (Especially Empire/RCC Christianity) all my life. I refuse to live a lie.
The spiritual path that led me to non-duality and recognizing the interconnectedness, unity, and oneness of the universe and all of life is a combination of Tibetan Buddism (primary practice), Sihkism, and Gnostism. Finding true peace and bliss in a top down, judgemental, dualistic, church controlled spiritual environment, and one preaching you're born in sin and require the church hierarchy to find the divine is, for many, including me, nothing but hogwash designed to create control over the minds of the "flock".
It is why Trump reigns belief. It sends a tingle up the legs of Evangelical Chriatian Nationalists. His biggest block of support.
BTW, no problem with the real teachings of Jesus given us by the Gnostics.
Jesus was.most certainly not born on Dec. 25th. But it aligns with a Roman pagan belief so ole Emperor Constantine inserted it. Constantine was if nothing else a magnificent authoritarian minded anfmd thus we have always had the Authoritarian State/Authoritarian Christianity connection.
Cheers to you Dave as I sip ny sake!
As we celebrate this Christmas, let's take a moment of cautionary reflection on the words of a famous Christian leader.
“Today Christians … stand at the head of [this country]… I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit … We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press – in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past … (few) years.” AH - July 22, 1933
This is now MAGA "Christianity".
To hell with with him. And Merry Christmas to all Americans who are not neo-Nazis and MAGA Christian nationalists.
Tawny port... I love it. Actually, I'm a fan of port in general.
Here's the Merry Christmas message direct from our POTUS...
No mention of love, peace, Jesus, a miracle birth, nothing. But we did get "radical left scum"! Not even a day for Trump to pretend to be in the Christmas spirit.
"Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT"
Dave,
Trump is a liar, criminal, and an American Nazi. He needs to be worshipped and have a gullible following who believes his word is gospel. Anyone who agrees with that asshole is just as evil and betrays the teachings of Jesus, no matter how much they claim to be "Christian".
If the Bible is the "Good Book", then we are in dire need of a Better Book, one without the desert tribal myths, delusions of being "God's chosen", and absurdly primitive moral structures that make seafood and mixed fabrics into "sins". The same goes for the Koran.
It's almost miraculous that anybody can become a more loving and decent person with all that mystical superstitious baggage and paranoia.
"Love me or suffer eternal torture" isn't the best recruitment slogan, but that's what it amounts to.
"Christian" as a noun is meaningless. There's no virtue in attending any church, when you carry hate with you every day.
"Christian" as an adjective, as one who actually tries to follow Christ's message of love for everyone as "God's children" would be my standard. And damn few "Christians" earn that adjective.
End of Christmas sermon.
Yes, and I get to sip my dessert from the unused port. The port, bacon, and shallots sauce is sublime on the tenderloin. I'm smelling it now.
