Yesterday I was driving through the wilds of SE MS, lost the NPR station, and found Janet Parshall [View all]

If you don't know who that is, just imagine an annoying Xtian fundy who knows how you should live better than you do.
With a radio show.

Janet;

Hateful person


Anyway....
She had another fundy of similar ilk on, a Mr. Robert Jeffress of Faux News fame.

Mr. Jeffress;

Weasel looking dirtbag

Mr. Jeffress was carrying on about the recent Supreme Court Rulings (of course) and said that (paraphrasing)

"This world is out of control"

Really? Out of control, is it?

No, you horses ass, it is just falling out of YOUR control and those like you.

This was of course, followed by claims that we are in "the last days" yadda, yadda blah, blah, blah ad nauseum. All because a specific group of people that he had been heretofore allowed to discriminate against with impunity can finally do something he has been allowed to do forever.

It was at that point I started shouting at the radio and decided that silence was better for my blood pressure!

The world is out of control. What a complete load of fucking bullshit.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, in spite of the move toward marriage equality, things are going to get worse before they get a whole lot better. People like Mr. Jeffress do not like it ONE LITTLE BIT that their influence is on the wane and they will fight back, tooth and nail, hammer and tong, until it becomes clear that the rest of humanity (or at least a sizable number of rational people) just do not care to be subject to their strict view of how we all should live. All the while they will scream that they are being persecuted because they don't get to tell you how completely fucking awful you are.

Just remember, if you live your life like you see fit or advocate for others to be able to do the same, and that advocacy is at odds with the Mr. Jeffress's of the world, then the world is therefore "out of control"

Good. May it ever be so.
