The Apple Falls

Only in the New America could you have pasteurized left-wing pabulum masquerading as organized atheism supported through a foundation. With a home base in Madison, WI one can only wonder what the primary framer of US Constitution would think of the Freedom From Religion Foundation?

Maybe this, from Federalist 10 gives a clue:
"The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils against any danger from that source. A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State."

I don't believe Publius would think very highly of Anne Nicol Gaylor and her collection of free-thinking misfits no matter how diligently they try to anchor their ideology to the Constitution. A faction of fruitcakes is still a faction and their deleterious effect on a functioning republic are well documented as noted by Madison - "The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations."

In an effort to re-frame public perception the FFRF has been evaluating the fictional representation of atheists on Television - dealing with the actual representation of themselves is, well, hopeless but maybe if producers, writers and actors would simply flat out lie and show atheists as sensitive, fun loving, thoughtful, kind, compassionate optimists (you know, like people who believe in God) then the bible thumping rubes - We the People - would have a higher opinion of them and their disgust for religion, God, the afterlife, morality, charity (by which I mean personal charity- the FFRF is fine with government "charity") and all things Old America. It's not that the American people are wrong, per se, but they can be "reeducated" through subtle mind manipulation and repetitive messages flashed into their minds from a screen.

So who do these brilliant atheists tap to deliver their first broad television message? None other than a ballet dancing MSNBC commentator named Ron Reagan. "Who?", all the youngsters ask, "Ron who?" - don't worry about it kids - I know he looks sort of strange with his lop sided face and gay haircut, but believe it or not, this dickhead is the son of a former US President from a long, long time ago. Look it up, I'm not kidding.


Oh yeah, one more thing. Even though he's not worried about it, there is every possibility that Ron Reagan will go to hell, he just doesn't realize it yet. Or maybe he'll just go poof into nothingness - we really don't know - certainly he doesn't know so try to listen to his blather with as much skepticism as a wise James Madison would and then press on to greater things - like going to church.

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
