Jorge Bergolio is a godless Marxist

Hey, Jorge?  Why don't you and your boyfriend go back to Argentina and try your Marxist bullshit there, hmmmm?

Tax cuts for the wealthy constitute a “structure of sin,” Pope Francis said Wednesday in a passionate address calling for international wealth redistribution.

Let's simplify something, shall we?  And this is something that anyone with a basic knowledge of theology would understand, which apparently does not include Jorge the Commie Pedo.  Forced charity IS NOT CHARITY, IT IS THEFT.

“Today’s structures of sin include repeated tax cuts for the richest people, often justified in the name of investment and development,” Francis told the meeting organized by the Pontifical Academy for Social Sciences.

This godless commie is a wolf in shepherd's clothing.  Forcing people to give their money to the government does nothing for your soul.  It will not lead you to salvation.  It does NOTHING to expunge your obligation to help the poor, because you are not helping the poor.  You are simply enriching the corrupt and powerful, while signaling your unearned virtue of "charity".  And meanwhile, as the corrupt and powerful siphon tax dollars into their own pockets, the people who actually need charity don't get it because the money that would go to charity has been taken away from the people who could give it.

Here's a little experiment for you.  Go take a gander at how many of your local hospitals have a saint's name in there somewhere, or how many end in "Presbyterian" or "Methodist" or "Lutheran".  Those organizations were running hospitals for everyone, long before the government decide to financially rape everybody with a job.  Many of them continue to do the Lord's work despite the governmental interference, because it is what God has called them to do.  Little Sisters of the Poor, anyone?

The government is not charity, because the government takes your money against your will and uses it for whatever the corrupt and powerful wish to use it on, which leads to the government using tax dollars of Christians to pay for abortion on demand through Planned Parenthood, which uses some of that money to pay off politicians, who then make sure that Planned Baby-Parts-For-Cash gets even more money.  That is not charity.

Charity cannot be forced.  Charity that is forced on a person is simply theft with a fancy hat.  If you stick a gun in my face and take all my money, and then give that money to a single mother in Detroit, IT IS STILL THEFT.  In order for Charity to exist, it must be given freely out of a person's understanding of God's love and God's will.  That means that government programs can never be, and will never be, charity.  Charity is the supernatural love of God, expressed through his followers here on earth.  It is not yet another government hand-out.

I cannot believe that a topic this simple would get skipped in seminary, so I'm forced to conclude that Jorge the Commie Sodomite knows this simple fact, and choses to ignore it in favor of the santanic, ungodly ideology that he worships instead of worshiping the one true God and savior.

Pray for Pope Benedict XVI, the one true pope.  Jorge Bergolio is the anti-Pope, doing Satan's will on this earth.

Let's talk some more about how Democrats hate America and Normal Americans

Let's talk about the "New Way Forward" act, shall we?  Here we have the Democrats trying to pass a law that would:

Decriminalize illegal entry into the USA.

Force the USA to pay to bring criminal immigrants back to the USA and pay them money so they can sue people.

Force the USA to allow immigrant pedophiles, rapists, drug dealers and human traffickers to stay in this country.

And much more America-destroying crap.

Folks, the Democrats prove they hate America.  They hate you.  They don't want freedom-loving individuals, they want government-dependent little slaves.  They want to turn the entire country into a mix of Baltimore and Venezuela.  Don't take my word for it.  Look at what they're doing.

UPDATE:  Here's a much better summary of the bill.  It's worse than bad.  It's horrible.  It would end America as we know it.  This bill is the ejaculation of every America-hating Democrat who wants to "fundamentally change" this country.  It's bad enough that I wouldn't object to having every sponsor of this bill hung for treason.

And again, Democrats prove that they love Illegal Aliens more than they care about Americans

Un-fucking-believable.

And the Democrat's middle finger towards Americans gets worse.  For some reason I can't quote the article, maybe because I'm using Microsoft Edge, which is akin to working with baling twine and plyers when working on a car.  So go read it yourself.

He's a lot calmer about it than I would be

But that's why he's a senator and I'm not.

Leading to the vote that acquitted President Trump, Scott spoke for nine minutes about how fairness was completely lacking in the impeachment process and how crucial it is to our rule of law. If you closed your eyes for a second you might have thought Ward Cleaver was having a heart-to-heart with the Beaver upstairs in the bedroom.

I like having Tim Scott on my side.

And I'm off to go shovel some more snow

Although with the snow in the mountains, I can just sweep the driveway as long as my neighbor hasn't salted it like he's a sumo wrestler and the driveway is the most important tourney of his life.

I noticed that a lot of people seem to do that.  Throw salt like it's going out of style.  The problem with that is all it does is melt the snow, and then when it re-freezes you get a layer of ice with snow on top.  Not good for cars or people.  I shovel his sidewalk quite a bit when I have time, just to keep him from throwing salt on top of snow.  I shovel my other neighbor's walk as well, but that's just because she's in her 90's and doesn't need to be running a shovel up and down the sidewalk.  Not if I can help it, anyways.

Also, if you have to throw salt, a mix of salt and sand does wonders for your tires gripping.  Some of you Southern people will have no clue what I'm talking about.  Some of you Northern people are going to wonder why I use a shovel when there's snowblowers and plows available.  It ain't that serious.

So, Mittens Romney voted to convict Trump on Article 1

Something tells me he's going to get a primary challenger when his time rolls around.  Romney had a lot of goodwill stored up in Utah due to the way he managed the 2002 Winter Olympics, which in all fairness, he pulled a mess out of the dumpster and produced a damn good event.  Credit where credit is due.  But that credit just got wadded up and tossed back into the dumpster, because outside of urban Salt Lake City, Utah is still a deep red state.  And SLC doesn't have enough people to function like Los Angeles or San Franfreakshow.  All you have to do is drive half an hour in any direction, and you're in Trump country.  These people do not appreciate the clown show impeachment that's been going on, and Romney is going to find himself hard pressed to defend his vote.  Hell, Ben McAdams, the lone Democrat from Utah, is already facing five or six Republicans all gunning for his seat, and after he threw his lot in with the Marxists, he stands a good shot of losing his seat.

All this to say, when you find yourself standing on the side of Chuck Schumer, you're on the wrong side.  Romney just cast his lot with the anti-American Marxists, and he's going to pay for it.  Will it be enough to get him booted?  Maybe.  Probably.  I guess we'll find out.

So, did you watch the SOTU address?

Just a couple of random thoughts - there doesn't need to be a standing ovation every thirty seconds, folks.  Although, while it was somewhat annoying to watch on TV, it had to be driving the Donks absolutely crazy.  So, eh.

Although maybe the Republicans were just making up for the Donks sitting on their hands, while Trump listed off accomplishment after accomplishment.  The Democrats couldn't even clap for a little girl getting a scholarship for a school of her choice.  Rashida Tlib and Ilhan "Omar" Nur couldn't bother to clap for the last Tuskeegee Airman.  Democrats really do hate America, and they hate Normal Americans.

And of course, in a move that was as classless as it was tone-deaf, Granny Rictus McBotox, San Fran Nan, the Botoxed Bitch of the Bay Area, ripped up her copy of Trump's speech on live TV.

I did notice at one point that as several Donk women stood to clap for something, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz ran over to scold them and tell them to sit back down.  The Democrat's loathing for American success is palpable.

Trump's guests were spot on.  And the Democrats hatred of Trump's guests was almost a physical object.

Anyways, back to the salt mines.

Well, crap

Computer died.  I'm typing this on the Mrs. old laptop.  I figure I'll have to go out and get a computer some time in the next few days.  So posting may be light in the upcoming days.

Not to mention that work is still taking up a whole lot of time.  Gotta pay the bills, ya know.

Weed smokers need more anesthetic

Just another reason to avoid using it.

Along with anecdotal reports, a 2019 study found that patients who reported smoking weed or ingesting edibles on a daily or weekly basis needed more than double the amount of the anesthetic propofol for endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopies) than non-users. They also needed 19.6% more midazolam and 14% more fentanyl.

Look, I know some folks out there use it for medicinal purposes, but let's be honest shall we?  That accounts for a very, very small percentage of actual users.  The vast majority of weed smokers are just getting high every day, and unlike cigarettes or alcohol, there's a culture in America that cheers for the constant intoxication of a generation via cannabis.  Cheering on marijuana use is like cheering on chugging a pint of whiskey and smoking two packs of cigarettes.

We haven't even begun to see the damage that is occurring, both to individuals and to society at large, and by the time you will see it it will be too late to do anything about it. 

It's snowing sideways today

The bosses at work took a look at the weather forecast yesterday, and said "Hey Dave, why don't you take your computer home just in case?"  And sure as shooting, my phone buzzed nice and early to say "Hey Dave, just stay home and answer emails from your living room, because there's no way in hell you're getting up that hill you have to climb to get here.  Bunches of people have already tried and failed."

So I'm posting whilst answering emails from people all over the country.  Yay!

I'm not being too sarcastic, I'm sitting in my sweats sipping coffee when I could be stuck in an office.  Could I get up that hill?  Yes.  I know how to drive in the snow.  But pj's and coffee!

Out the door early again

So light posting.  But I have a blogroll, after all.
