Whenever I can, I post about how local taxes will need to go up, a lot, and very soon, to acquire land to build new schools. We already have overcrowding in DeKalb county.

And most always money for new prisons.

I like this quote by Sister Joan Chittister, too.





And a Christian friend of mine posted this on their FB page. I thought it was excellent, as well. Their hypocrisy is glaring.

Thanks for sharing both of those!

TRUTH.

the so-called 'pro-life' group.

I love when people lay it all out there and expose the blatant hypocrisy of the "pro-life" movement.

Republicans/conservatives/supposed pro-lifers are in favor of killing living babies and have done so.

Pro-life is a myth.

The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.

It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.

It is a matter of control.

"What so ever you do to the least of my children, that you do unto me."

That's children, as in after they are born.
Republicans care little about these children, only to the extent that they make up a poor, uneducated mass of workers who can be relied on to perpetuate the reality of economic slavery.
They know that ignorance and despair can be effectively used if it can harnessed and direct it at their enemies.
All they have to do is make these people think it's someone else's fault.
They're very good at that; fanning the fires of resentment until it burns with hatred for other people who are brown, or black, or liberal, or refugees, or Muslims or whatever the Republicans want them to hate.

This is the extent of Republicans concern for America.

Thanks for this great post.

That interest will quickly dwindle when those same kids become veterans. Then they become a financial liability.

Not enough money for the veterans because they need it for their next giveaway to the bone spurred cowards with medical deferments from that generation.

You know who they are, the ones that wrap themselves in the flag or worse wrap themselves around the flag.

Patriotism to them is preaching to others how to be "true" American Patriots.

I am a veteran, I followed in my grandfather's service in the Army in WW I. Then my dad's service in the Navy in WW II. Then my USAF service in the Vietnam war. And finally two of my kids in the Army during Desert Storm.

They feed them to the meat grinder of war or they get tax money to keep them in prison. Or, if the child is attractive, maybe she can be trafficked. A backward culture like ours requires some excess population to sacrifice to our bloody gods.

It isn't a new argument, but it is very much true.

It's outrageous what voters have and will continue to overlook as long as they think their candidate is more likely to install anti-choice Supreme Court justices.

I am apalled that 40% of women are anti-choice, but even more apalled that they let that view override all other issues by willingly putting a pussy grabber in the White House.

As long as there's a glimmer of hope that For is overturned (or at least Republican politicians convince voters there is), that is a huge block of voters we will never have a chance with no matter how many other issues they probably agree with us on.

They rely on cheap labor, capitalist cannon fodder, consumers. Without more people, Republicans can't make money.
It's all about money to them. Period.
