Yes, those folks: https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/ So for you that's right wing? It's the Christians who are right wing in my view. This is a very silly argument in my opinion. Take a look at our new SecDef's Christian tattoos. Dues Vult, the Christian Inshallah as you know, the Chi-Ro (revelations), the Christian Crusader Cross writ large, and so on. Keith, you spent 20 years in our increasingly Christian Military, are you going to tell us if SecDef, or anyones superior officer, suggests a prayer meeting come Saturday the invitee's will consider it optional? Religious influence across our society be it political, military, social, what ever, is not just unfair owing to power imbalances but it is wrong. In this neck of the world woods it's Christianity doing the harm; in Iran it's the Mullahs--same same.

3 out of 4 ain’t bad. Also no one yet has attempted to convince me to be Haitian, black, or Hispanic. Of course the Christian mandate is to convert us all , or worse. That and they are intent on subverting any government that gets in the way. There’s a damn good reason there is a Military Freedom from Religion foundation and not for even one of the other examples.

I took it to mean that if parties that are discriminated against then discriminate against other parties for the same reasons they were discriminated against then it's not the same type of discrimination, or even discrimination at all, particularly if the discrimination is rooted in Christian values. Tossing out the hispanic/black example is a distraction. Hispanics and blacks are no more monolithic in their beliefs about their fellows than are whites. Every racial group has their own way of dividing up their own group and every other group so that there enough "others" they can feel better than. For that matter, just look at how the Christians love each other when the chips are down.

And why not? For sure they have all of their enriched uranium product and most of the centrifuges dispersed hither and yon, in the scores of trucks loading it all up in the picture below taken just days before our GREAT PILOTS" bombed the joint, and after genius Trump gave them a long heads up to do so. That's why they only lobbed a few spitballs at a deserted corner of an airbase in Qatar as a response. The Mullahs are deluded and criminal but they ain't stupid. It is so galling that he insults everyone who confronts him with the "LOW IQ!" insult. I wish someone would hack his for public comparison.

When we are judging Christian behaviors are we limited to this blog and this year?
-
Last time all we needed to do was shoot down a passenger jet, so let’s get with the program and put this mess behind us.
-
And for 100% sure, no doubt about it, and take it to the bank certainty, they left every last bit of their enriched uranium and equipment in the facilities while Israel was attacking and Trump was bloviating. I would also bet the DZ that they also painted bullseye's on the roofs and arrows on the ground to show the way.

Fun fact: 42% of the Latino vote went to Trump and did 20% of the Black vote. Any guess as to why?
-
Since '63 they've been throwing electrons. No matter, are you claiming we've had 60 years of of pure racial fraternity from religion?

I suppose if they mine the Straits of Hormuz the price of oil might go up, might there be a few beneficiaries in that space? I don't think Russia uses the Straits. We do to ship gas to India, I think, but I will never believe this was anything more than dick swinging by President Hurt Feelings.

Speaking of idiots. The poor Trump voting dears can't make it without subsidies and medicaid and those darn American workers quit after a few hours, too! https://www.rawstory.com/trump-farmers-2672410822/ Also, I just love it that there is a Kremlin, Oklahoma. Dennis Schoenhals stands as a combine harvester is used on wheat in a field at his farm in Kremlin, Oklahoma, U.S., June 12, 2025.

Well there is that whole preponderance of the evidence thing we use for everything else. Sure, for the feels, but beliefs can be a predictor of behaviors. If I were to tell you that someone set off an explosive vest on a bus or someone else shot a doctor in a parking basement you wouldn't take long in correctly guessing their religions or certain features of the victims beliefs. Good on you, but totally beside the point, too, especially knowing that most people haven't the slightest clue how the nature of existence lies in complete conflict with the stories they've been told and come to believe as, well, the Gospel.
-
I don't think most folks learn to be Trans or Black nor do they have later options. They also don't have a text that offers guidance and penalties for certain behaviors.
-
Sure, it’s the right thing to do because your mom might cuff you. I hear you but I’m saying my point is intact in strict comparison.
-
Seriously, you have to admit that those who do nice things under threat of damnation, and those are always selective nice things, aren't in any way equal to those who do nice things because their personal moral compass so guides them, no deity required.

Same as dogs.

A tale of two dogs, one a pleasant little fellow who aims to please and does what you want without effort and the other who seems to be a constant exercise in aversion therapy: they ain't the same dogs.

First Americane of the season? Sweet, that'll show 'em whose boss. Maybe now that the storms are American made they should charge us a tariff on arrival.

Absolutely true. In fact a bunker busting bomb was dropped on EPA Headquarters today at 4:00AM TST (Taco Standard Time).
-
Keith, your "like" of this post can be misread.
-
Yes, I know. But of those professional types I'm guessing that most didn't donate millions to Trump or sponsor his miserable parade as did these guys and their companies.

Welcome back. Let me get you caught up, he's just doing a deal and then they'll all turn around and go home.

Are white women in the Military as Trumpy by percentage as those in civilian life? Are there more "Christians" by percentage in our military, as it so seems? Whatever is going on it seems wrong and dangerous to me that our military doesn't more directly represent the general population. Maybe you know this, but it will probably chap your ass after giving so much of your life to being an officer, but the Army is now offering direct commissions as lieutenant colonel to tech bros who donated to Trump so they can play Army in their spare time. https://www.usar.army.mil/Locate-a-Reserve-Unit/How-to-Join/Direct-Commission/ First up are : Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Shyam Sankar, CTO Palantir; Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s former research chief and current advisor to Thinking Machines Lab.

They are as blinded to reality as all second time Trump voters, hence the ease with which Trump can use them as witting tools. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/30/military-veterans-remain-a-republican-group-backing-trump-over-harris-by-wide-margin/

He believes in clicks, eyeballs, and animating his MAGA base to stay in office. Like the rest of the Autocracy Party good governance and the continuation of Democracy in America are far, far down the list of concerns.
