Anonymous Koch Brothers Supporter Attacks This Cultural Christian’s Religious Freedom

Any long term reading of this blog has a sense of who and what I am about. I am A-religionist – without religion and or dogma in any formal sense. In other words, my place of worship of the divine is not listed in any “yellow pages” (an obsolete term?).

Following this blog you will know how I have painstakingly tried to deprogram myself from twelve years of Roman Catholic brainwashing from my youth.

As a tangent to that, I have been very active in blogging about the secret buggering cult of the RC priesthood and especially that of my native Philly and all the recent four archbishops there and their ambitions first, rather than truth and justice.

BTW the parish I grew up in and the high school there are now defunct. They are in the inner city and the RC church in Philly no longer seems to administer to the poor in terms of material or spiritual needs, that is if you have a zero balance in your check books or a poor credit rating on the new Global Corporate (Dehumanized) Spreadsheet.

Another of my support blog articles are for the civil rights of the LGBT community and their struggle for basic human freedom and human rights in the United States. This in solidarity with friends and family members over the years that have not had these basic rights.

Aside for my religious beliefs and or non-beliefs, the essence of my spiritual and or soulful sense is expressed here especially when the new right wing GOP “Christian” religion with it hate and bigotry and economic inequality are touted on the public stage by public figures and or their stooges – touted as something Jesus taught – which he did not.

This Cultural Christian tries to adhere the basic notion of the Love thy Neighbor and try to Care for you Neighbor teachings of Jesus who IMHO was only human in a supreme evolutionary sense but definitely not a divine being and unlike the Emperor /god /saint /general Constantine, the founder of the Roman Pagan Army “Christian” Faith.

Also, in this blog, I have illustrated other faiths as part of trying to piece together the pieces of the puzzle of a new global culture emerging in a new global town square sphere of cultural consensus.

So, I was mildly annoyed yesterday when someone hiding behind the “anonymous” label attacks me for my simple asking of the question – “What is the Koch Brothers religion?” – it is a question that is not be found on the Internet – an idea and or fact vetted out of the equation of discussion with John Birch shadowy Cult Figures who peddle right wing influence in this country to the detriment of the common good IMO.

Have you ever read your screeds. You come across as one dumb fucker, who is jealous of other people's money. Stupid shit. Rabble rousing crap. Lazy fool. They give more to the poor than you'll every know. You, on the other hand, deserve only scorn.

December 29, 2014 at 3:05 PM 

So if commenter 7, “Anonymous 3:05 PM” from December 29, does wants to man up or woman up and put their name on their slurs against my practice of both First Amendment Rights of free speech and religious freedom, so be it. 

But can you imagine the impact on American History if phrases like “Give me liberty or give me death!” were in the final analysis attributed only to “AnonymousVA1775” – LOL

I woke up this morning remembering the slimy shot for Anon305 which brings me to the fact that I have checked this before and with my “What religion is the Koch Brothers?” article I have close to six thousand hits and it does not (strangely, oddly) show up on my top ten blog items of all time.

I know that Google which I believe controls my blog stats is always changing around the so-called screening algorithm that decides what gets choice place on Google Searches. I did not know that perhaps sensitive comments about John Birch Cult Leaders could be buried in terms of stats and not appear on blog stats published to me by Google???

…between my Pat Roberson white trash Green Bean Holiday Casserole Recipe and Quaker Cross – A Symbol For Compassion blog articles listed as 6320 and 5759 hits respectively on that inaccurate Google Top Ten Blog all-time list sent to me everyday.

Charles C W Cooke – NRO Blogger - Harry Reid’s Two Minute Hate on the Philanthropist Koch Brothers

British Atheist – (Christopher Hitchens wannabe?) – Charles C.W. Cooke continues to comment on Tory Conservative American politics.

I never really thought about how hate of the Charity of the Koch Bothers is what is making the Democrats jealous enough to cripple the democratic process in the Congress.

An atheist defending the Koch’s Charity is a bit much on the ass kissing even for a Brit Twit Oxford elitist mis-educated Royalist Charlie Cooke.

The answer was there all along. Good closeted Christians like the Kochs are being persecuted for their charity and faith by the evil atheists of the Democratic Party. Who would of thought it except maybe the son of a peer from Britain.

Oh us dumbed down stupid colonials. Give us back a rational government. Give us a Queen (not in drag of course)? lol

Charles C.W. Cooke Defending the Koch Brothers From Democrats and Their Unjust Hardcore Political Hate…

“But the Kochs are not as simple as the hysteria would have them be. Indeed, even the lightest of research reveals them to be in favor of gay marriage, of drug legalization, of reforming and expanding the immigration system, of withdrawing troops from the Middle East, of cutting defense spending, of curbing the NSA’s overreach, and of helping to balance the budget by raising (some) taxes…” NRO March 6, 2014

Koch Brothers Circle Jerk Against America Club Meets in Palm Springs - With Mean Non-Union Papa John's Pizza Served

The document lists VIP donors—including John Schnatter, the founder of the Papa John's pizza chain—who were scheduled for one-on-one meetings with representatives of the political, corporate, and philanthropic wings of Kochworld.

“Pastor” Rafael Cruz Repeats the Big Lie – Forging the Resumes of the Founding Fathers – Revisionist Fascist Religious History

If anybody knows how to fake a life resume it is Rafael Cruz, Head of the Grifter Cruz Family in Texas. Rafael in his salad days in Cuba personally knew Batista, Fidel and Santo Claus all on a personal first name basis before he swam without a boat, breaking all world records to freedom on American shores.

Here below he is repeating a lie started by that big fat rich pastor Rick Warren about some nonsense that 29 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence had degrees in Theology. 

What absolute total Koch Brothers John Birch Society Heritage Foundation bullshit.

Gov. Pay McCrory Wants National I.D.Card to Facilitate Voting In North Carolina

The GOP abandoned the Idea of a National ID Card for Americans as one step away from the New World Order of the Federal Reserve Bank or the Koch Brothers, Art Pope Charity Rackets Inc. etc.

No blacks helicopters today as Pay McCrory signed the voter I.D. law in Raleigh to prevent massive voter fraud by the handfuls.

What Religion is Art Pope in North Carolina – the First American Christian Sharia State?

North Carolina’s New Sharia Pope – Art Pope – is dismantling a diverse democratic state. 

It was bound to happen sooner or later – the race to establish an official state religion first in North Carolina and then later, throughout the old incestuous inbred Old Confederacy with this mental disease and lastly to take down the U.S. Constitution. 

The Second Amendment murdering the First Amendment. Cain Kills Abel so to speak.

Like many of these nebbish mystery think tank billionaires trying to reestablish human slavery in America for the corporations, I cannot find a religion listed anywhere for “Pope” Art Pope, the new Boss Tweed of Religious politics in North Carolina.  

Art like the Koch Brothers is not an atheist? His "god" is probably just money and power.

Eleven Republicans, including the state’s House Majority Leader (Edgar V. Starnes), backed a resolution proclaiming that the Constitution “does not grant the federal government and does not grant the federal courts the power to determine what is or is not constitutional,” and then decreeing that North Carolina could establish its own state religion. On the bright side, state house Speaker Thom Tillis announced that he would not advance this resolution after it was widely panned.

Mayor Bloomberg of NYC – Close the Universities – Lower My Taxes – Fix My Toilet

Mike Bloomberg - Whining Mayor of NYC

Nanny / Yenta Mayor Mikey Bloomberg of the New York City wants your mediocre kids to consider skipping college and student loan debts and to become a plumber to fix his toilet.

Close the Universities. Lower my taxes. If everybody becomes a plumber, the glut in supply and demand in that profession will put a plumber’s salary at 50 cents per hour, just where a cheap chiseler like Mike Bloomberg with his 27 billion dollar (I earned it myself!) fortune thinks all low life in his city should be paid – next to nothing or nothing at all.

Just what he thinks people are worth supplying him with the necessities of life in his Beaux Arts Mansion on the upper east side? God forbid the man lower himself and live in a Colonial era wooden farmhouse aka Gracie Mansion paid for by the taxpayers, the once official mayor’s residence.

Mediocre is as mediocre does. Mike and his sheepskin from Johns Hopkins University did pretty good for a mediocre boy from NY to become one of the Masters of the Universe that now rules this planet.

All future opportunities for youth in America are now officially over! Owned by Bloomy and the Koch Brothers etc. ?

Thank God there it is only seven months until his retirement as nanny yenta mayor on January 1. No fourth term FDR MRB!

Maybe then he can retire to his plantation in some fourth world country and preach to his dozens of servants on the evils of taking / stealing Massa’s ten cents an hour salary.  Lol

Karl Rove a Winner with Millions in his pocket from 2012 Election

Considering all the billions Trump, Adelson and the Koch Brothers stuffed into Karl Rove’s pockets to steal our democracy, has any of these morons every heard of a basic law of Economics – The Law of Diminishing Returns – 

whereby no matter how much you spend or how many people to add to your production line to produce a product like Rove, you cannot increase the results (period). 

Bullshit at a dollar a pound is no different than bullshit that sells for a hundred dollars a pound in a boutique on Park Avenue. It is still just bullshit.

The law of diminishing returns (also law of diminishing marginal returns or law of increasing relative cost) states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus"), will at some point yield lower per-unit returns. The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a condition known as negative returns, though in fact this is common. ~~~ Wikipedia

Gina Rinehart is so Rich and so Fat She wants Australia for Lunch – Princess of Woop Woop - worth $30 Billion

Gina Rinehart - Princess of Woop Woop in Oz

Once again it is those lazy poor people living off the system who make life so miserable for the very RICH.  Princess of Woop Woop Land in Australia Gina Rinehart thinks $15.96 minimum wage Austalian, $1.029 to $1.00 American rate, is a burden for her company to pay for a working man to support his family for his first 38 hours of labor. 

She is jealous that Americans only get $7.25 minimum wage in the United States and wants a similar deal for workers in Oz.

What a fucking greedy pig! Go buy a bottle of shampoo darling and a bar of soap too I think while you are at it as well.

Oh dear.  Where is the catsup mate? I want to eat Australia for lunch! Same as the Koch Brothers are already munching on America’s assets.

Australian mining tycoon Gina Rinehart, the richest woman in the world (yes, richer even than Christy Walton) must think she’s some kind of Dagny Taggart OR SOMETHING. Rinehart penned an offensive editorial column in a mining industry magazine that’s being widely condemned in Australia. Considering that she owns much of the media there, and undoubtedly many a politician, too, that seems significant.

Rinehart’s fortune is estimated to be in the range of $30 billion and apparently the mining heiress thinks those drunken shrimp-on-the-barbie poors are just jealous of people like her and her rich friends. During a month when Rinehart is actively engaged in petitioning the government to lower the minimum wage and slash taxes on the wealthy, her timing couldn’t be worse.

Setting aside the fact that it’s patently ridiculous that a single family could be allowed to make that kind of money by mining a natural (and therefore national) resource like iron ore out of the ground, Rinehart inherited her fucking money in the first place (Just like Francisco d’Anconia inherited his copper mines in Atlas Shrugged, eh? And remind me again how Dagny Taggart came to be running Taggart Transcontinental? Ah, yes, through an accident of birth!) Via Raw Story:

“There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire. If you’re jealous of those with more money, don’t just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working. Become one of those people who work hard, invest and build, and at the same time create employment and opportunities for others”

Rinehart blamed what she described as “socialist”, anti-business policies for the plight of Australia’s poor, urging the government to lower the minimum wage, as well as taxes, unless it wanted to end up like Greece.
