Imagine how sick of it I am as a veteran.

When people want to "honor" vets now, or "thank" me for my service (which I fucking hate with the fire of a thousand suns), I just about have a PTSD flashback on them, just to get them to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.

Millions more Jews would have been murdered over the ensuing 500 years if the Reformation hadn't happened. Also, that Age of Reason thing probably would have been delayed another few hundred years, which would have delayed the Age of Enlightenment, too.

No thanks.

Bomber of abortion clinic, no, but terrorist bombers? Plenty of those have came from the Roman Catholic ranks. IRA ring a bell? Also too: Timothy McVeigh was a Roman Catholic.

And Catholics are not exempt from abortion clinic violence. Roman Catholic John Salvi murdered two abortion clinic workers in Brookline, MA in 1994.

Benedictine Priest Edward Markley robbed two abortion clinics and vandalized both of them with a sledgehammer. At his second attack, he bludgeoned one of the workers with his sledgehammer that broke her neck vertebrae.

He's only 29? Damn. Being a white supremacist must speed up the aging process, kind of like the dark side but without the fun powers or light swords.

Wait - "Taylor Rose"? Could he be transgender, because that sure sounds like a girl name. Maybe he should go into white power music, and try to compete with Taylor Swift....

"... a traditional Tea Party Conservative." Yeah, the fuckwads who surfaced in 2009 because Bamz has too much melanin to be "their" president have, in a mere 7 years, endowed posterity with a "tradition." By that logic, Wonkette is a venerated bastion of traditional American values that is enjoyed by millions globally and whose fiercely loyal members have raised the political dialogue in the U.S. to a pinnacle approaching crystallized perfection. (Only one of these statements is true.)

Oh, no, no. This is not something we're ever going to get rid of. Fear Of The Other is manifested in almost every animal species. Why would we miraculously not suffer from it?

I just flashing on that film Rain Without Thunder, where ALL OF THIS was predicted. Seriously, if you can get your hands on a copy, it's fucking CHILLING how prescient that film was. Everybody sneered at it when it came out, but it terrified me.

That post about putting veterans first would be a lot more credible if Rose and his ilk ever gave half a shit about veterans (or active military) any time they weren't useful political pawns.

Also: OMG THOSE WEE BABIES. I hope they are doing well!
