Obamacare & Wannsee: The Rise of the Republican Reich


In January of 1942, sixteen distinguished doctors and lawyers – most of whom were Christians - met for an elegant lunch in the German countryside to resolve what they called “the Jewish question.” As these men smoked cigars and drank French wine, they discussed the important role Germany was to play for humanity, professed their devotion to German culture and its high ideals, and plotted to kill a hundred million people. To defend the purity of their enlightened system of beliefs, in other words, they planned to tear humanity limb from limb. 
 
That lakeside luncheon was known as the Wannsee Conference, and it was the place where the fate of some eleven million people was sealed, including six million Jews. The conference had the singular purpose of coordinating the various government agencies needed for The Final Solution. It was here, for the first time, that most of the men at that table were presented with the plan to turn the age old religious practice of genocide into a German industrial enterprise. 

Today, Donald Trump and the Republican party are now working to kill 20 million people by abolishing the Affordable Care Act and thus denying 20 million people access to healthcare, and all to enrich the healthcare insurance companies that have been posting record profits and bonuses ever since the ACA was passed in the first place.

The Nazi's, when you think about it, were much more humane in how they murdered the roughly 11 million people during the Holocaust (people often only quote the 6 million Jews while ignoring the other 5 million people killed in those camps - which effectively annihilates those 5 million people all over again). This is because the Nazi's at least murdered those 11 million people by gassing them, while the Republicans would rather simply let 20 million people writhe in the agony of their ill health - ill health, mind you, that comes from GMO's in the food, pesticides and cancers in our livestock, over exposure to the proliferation of phone towers and pollution of the environment, not to mention poisoning of the water and all over food sources, and much to much to list here. 
 But despite the fact that companies are poisoning us all to death, from meds, to cancer, to food to phones and on and on, America still believes that access to "healthcare" is not a "right." Indeed, people actually believe that it's a "good idea" to chain people to their jobs (no matter how much they may hate that job, and no matter how little that job pays) by forcing people to depend on that job, indeed CLING to that job for dear life, in order to have access to healthcare for themselves and their family. 
 And rather than blame insurance companies who are working to make a profit from death and disease, the people who complain about the ACA are the ones who are as free of health problems as they are of understanding the real reason their costs are going up, and who seem to care as much about all of those who will loose access to healthcare with the loss of the ACA as they care about those  hundreds of thousands of innocent lives that have been lost on America's bogus "War on Terror."
Long live the "Christian Nation," that follows in the footsteps of Christ by ignoring the fact that Christ said, "what you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to me." Long live the money lenders, long live Moloch, long live the Republican Reich.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part II

"But God by nature must love Himself supremely, above all else." Fr. Emmet Carter   This is part  two of a look at an article written about the "restorative and medicinal" properties of punishment, as espoused by Fr. Emmett Carter (https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/).  Ideas of this sort in Christianity go back to St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas - two saints who saw the suffering of Christ as sure fire evidence that God needed humans to suffer to balance the cosmic scales of his love for us. Sure, he could've come up with a better game, or made better humans, but its apparently the suffering he really enjoys seeing. Carter's essay raises countless questions, especially about the true nature of God's blood lust, but lets stick to just four simpler ones. The first question deals with the idea of "free will." According to Christians, God designed us with the ability to freely choose to obey or offend h

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part I

If the Holy Bible proves anything at all, it proves that the Christian God has a blood-lust like no other God in history. From Abraham to Jesus to the end times to eternal hell, the Christian God loves suffering even more than, or at least as much as, said God loves Himself. And if everything from the genocides in the Old Testament and God killing everyone on the planet with a flood, to Jesus being tortured and murdered (rather than the devil, who is the guilty one) and the fiery end of the world followed by the never ending fires of hell, are not enough to convince you that Christianity is really an addiction to violence masquerading as "love," just consider the psychotic rantings of a Catholic priest trying to convince his faithful flock that murder and mutilation - which he calls "punishment" -  are proof of just how much his "God" is pure love.  In an article published on https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/,
