Disclaimer: We all did dumb things in the 1990s. We wore Girbaud clothing, we carried our backpacks over one shoulder even when they held 50 pounds worth of books, we got "skater cuts," and so on. And some of us got REAL DUMB in the '90s, like Mike Huckabee, who, during his failed 1992 Senate run,
... so do I. Not sure when I began to look to News channels for (unintentional) comedy and Comedy channels for (intentional) news... but it happened and now I'm all, like, WTF?!!! Did the Earth completely reverse its axis while I was asleep?
... of course he's changed his mind. Those white - very white, perfectly dry-cleaned, bespoke-tailored collars - belong to the elite who now control the electoral process. It's career suicide to piss them off. Huckelbucks gets that, at least.
... and for some reason, those followers believe in the myth of corporations as Jerb Creators... not for a single moment understanding that the consumer (especially one with a well-paid job) is the REAL creator. It's a belief on par with "I'm gonna win the lottery one day" as much as "my boss is going to reward me for my loyalty"... both are wishful, and deluded thinking.
... silly Zippy... Mike Hucklefuck doesn't need to parse his argument quite so finely, his audience doesn't possess the the cognitive abilities to process anything beyond the hot button/dog whistle reduction of the issues. They hear AIDS! and think... "they brought Gawd's punishment on themselves!" - while ignoring that their own behaviour is, you know, a death sentence in itself.
... although Zippy beat you to the punchline, I am reminded of a cartoon showing monks transcribing the bible and one of them saying.... "Oh, shit, guys! It says CELEBRATE, not celibate... my bad!"
... I just threw up in my mouth a little. Every time I underestimate the stupidity of the general populace, I'm reminded there are depths we have not yet plumbed. It scares me.
Thanks, Callyson.This is what I would metaphorically like to smack in the smug face of anyone who points to St. Ronald of Reagan as a paragon of Presidential virtue. He was a monster. This is but one example.
... not if you pray hard enough. Really, REALLY hard. And believe those prayers work. And then pray some more (sometimes Gawd gets distracted with all the sportsball games people are asking him to fix)... but if for some reason all those impassioned prayers aren't being heard... well, that's your "God works in mysterious ways" loophole. At that point, your sexuality doesn't count for shit.
... somebody told him HE had a white collar, so... oops. Walk that one back.
