Thank you, Catholics. Thank you, Church of Latter-Day Saints. Thank you, "Church" of Scientology. Thank you for dumping these crapweasels on us without even asking if we were okay with it, for commandeering our tax dollars (the payment of which you are exempt) and - if we were members of your organization - showing us exactly how much contempt you have for us, your lifelong, dedicated, tithing members.
I was a catholic and, as I've noted before on this board, I watched my dad put his hard-earned dollars into the collection plate every Sunday for years and years, amounting to thousands and thousands of dollars. (A book that cost $1.00 that I wanted? I was told I would have to "wait until next week.") And what did we get for that loyalty? Listening to unchaste clerics lecture us about "kindness" when they were really just saying "Enjoy your M3xicans! Aren't they great? They work cheap!"
You know, if some person who's really down on his luck with criminals after him because he belongs to the wrong political party applies to a church for help finding a new home where he doesn't have to worry about being shot, no blame to him. A church should help. I've met people like that who were truly refugees and being persecuted in the place where they were born, struggling to find a new home for themselves and their families. I don't begrudge them that kind of help. If a cleric I knew and trusted asked if I would help someone like that out - assuming I was able - I probably would. Persecution sucks.
But millions of bums and criminals are a different story. If a cleric helps a persecuted family find a new home, then leaves the door open so a hundred more can sneak in, that's not kindness.
And in the case of Scientology - you know they make veritable slaves out of immigrants they're "helping to find new homes," right? It's human trafficking on a gigantic scale with these guys - ho hum, who cares, right? Haha Scientology crackpots, they're so funny! (Enjoy your Haitians, Indonesians, and Russians, folks!)
I would have liked to hear Cal tell about the slide INTO the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”. I grew up with the “news” as he described entering it.
The end of the “Fairness Doctrine” unleashed Conservative radio and television. People were already starving for relief from the Liberal mind control. It got this way over decades. But in his re-tell, he just jumps right over it.
I've said this for years. Sadly, it ain't a scandal unless the New York Times says it's a scandal.
See Tagline and think of Hunter Biden's laptop.
