“As originally conceived, Christmas is a religious holiday. It acknowledges and celebrates supernatural realities, namely, God’s insertion of Himself into the very race he had created, to save them (us) from our sins. It is about joy and salvation.
“At its worst, the “commercialized” version of Christmas is about giving gifts, happy children, families getting together, good will to all, feasting on meat, sugar, fats, and booze.
“Either way, it’s about happiness and confelicity. Which progressives hate. Because the goal of progressivism is to create unhappiness, and then spread it around as much as possible until it becomes so intolerable that their revolution catches on, which allows them to seize the power they’ve been striving for. So the more unhappiness there is, the more progressivism can work. Which is probably why most progressives are unhappy people. It is hard for happy people to make other people unhappy, and if they sometimes do, it’s by accident.
“Also, neither version of Christmas has anything whatsoever to do with politics.
Do you hear the fear and quivering in his voice? He knows that this is all bullshit. I suppose though that when you’re the only “Red spot” in a sea of “Deranged Blue” you’re afraid of the press whipping up the mob against you instead of Trump.
Trump has to be the most investigated person on this entire planet. And they’ve found absolutely no evidence of any “impeachable” offence. But everything that he has been accused of the Hildabeast and Bite-me have done. In psychology this is known as projection
But perhaps I’m being too critical of our Governor. After all a Trump supporter walking around Montpelier or Burlington in M.A.G.A. hat (by choice) would be like a Jew in 1930’s Germany (forced) to wear a yellow star of David. You’re only inviting contemptuous stares at best and possible verbal and physical confrontations at worse. And most likely you’re going to be surrounded.
The same is why you will hardly ever see a Trump-Pence bumper sticker. Trump supporters do exist in Vermont but we don’t really want our cars vandalized. It’s why people like me use a pseudonym.
Because the people on the Left are deranged with HATE and they don’t consider that a bad thing. They don’t believe in [God] given rights, they don’t believe in the Constitution. They believe in Marxist ideology and pagan worship. They believe they’re superior, and that they should have total political power. It’s the only way to make everything “fair”, everything “free”, and and at the same time save the planet. This can only be accomplished by “totalitarian rule”, “draconian laws” and the “force” to back it up.
Trump supporters know we’re a minority in Vermont. Like Black people in the Jim Crow South we know better not get too “uppity”.
Four generations of indoctrination of Vermont youth has flipped the State 180 deg. since the days of Calvin Coolidge politically and spiritually.
I think the State Vermont needs to have Socialism implemented “good and hard” The Green New Deal needs to be made the law of the State. Vermont should be a sanctuary State for all illegal aliens and health care should be “free”. And everyone, I mean everyone lives under the rules.
Vermont and Venezuela will have a lot more in common then both beginning with the letter “V“.
If Phill Scott is running for re-election I think I’ll just stay home.
It’s going to be a while before anyone can legally purchase weed in Vermont.
House Speaker Mitzi Johnson says passing legislation to legalize a market for marijuana in Vermont is not among her priorities in 2020. That stance distances her from a commitment made by fellow Democratic leaders to bring a bill to a floor vote this coming session.
Johnson, D-South Hero, has been resistant to supporting a legal marketplace for the drug, even as the policy has been adopted into the Vermont Democratic Party platform. She said in an interview Saturday that there is no guarantee the latest bill, which stalled in the House last year, will reach the floor in 2020.
“I have long said that a bill has to earn its way,” Johnson said. “This is a huge step, and we need to make sure we do it right.
“We need to make sure we do it right.”
There was certainly no need to think about Bill H.57 was there Mitzi. In the “Democrat/Socialist Party” the worship of Baal is right up there with the worship of Gaia. Ram it right through. But that’s the advantage of one party rule.
Because the baby is still in her body the State gives her the right to kill a helpless him/her, and the State shall compell (if they’re not willing) Doctors and nurses to be accessories to murder.
But being able to legally but weed in a regulated fashion with revenue going to the state, Well we better think about this long and hard.
An 83 year old Democrat voter, former Marine and obviously no Trump supporter asking creepy Joe about his son Hunter and his high paying no experience necessary job at the Ukranian Gas co. Burisma.
“Plugs” went off the rails…again. Calling the man not only a liar but ‘A FAT LIAR’. Challenging the man to a push-up contest instead answering his question. Needless to say he lost the man’s vote but garnered appaluse from the rest of the sycnophant audience.
Here’s “Plugs” bragging about forcing Ukraine to halt the investigation of his Son and getting the Prosecuter fired.
For a long time getting high could land you in jail. The theory was that it was a “gateway” drug to harder stuff like cocaine and heroin. I’m old enough to remember when getting busted was a really big deal. This I know from “personal” experience. Ah... but what a difference forty years makes, Pot in most states has essentially been legalized and some States seek to raise revenue by it by monopolizing its sale and distribution and taxing the crap out of it. Vermont is no exception.
Granted that any drug that alters brain chemistry can have grave effects on certain people. Some people just shouldn’t touch the stuff.
I will confess that I have indulged in cannabis for well neigh 45 years, for better or worse. I enjoy it for the shit eating grin it gives me when I usually need it the most. Could I live without it? If I had to…of course. But I think I can safely say I have suffered no psychotic episodes because of my indulgence…at least none that I recall… just kidding.
A French prosecutor has dropped charges against the killer of Jewish kindergarten teacher Sarah Halimi after experts ruled he had suffered a massive psychotic episode by smoking cannabis.
Ms Halimi, who was Orthodox, was killed after Kobili Traoré broke into her council flat in eastern Paris on April 4 2017.
Witnesses said the 65-year-old was beaten and called a “demon” by her attacker, who recited Koranic verses as he threw her off her balcony.
In an appeals court hearing on Wednesday Traoré admitted killing Ms Halimi, saying he was not aware of his actions on the night of the murder and did not recognise when he broke in.
But in a rare turn of events, French prosecutors were divided on how to proceed. Local prosecutors in Paris initially argued that Kobili Traoré should be put on trial for his actions. But they were opposed by the more senior procureur général, which argued Traoré should be hospitalised.
“I felt persecuted. When I saw the Torah and a chandelier in her home I felt oppressed. I saw her face transforming,” he said.
Hewas triggered !
Francis Szpiner, another Halimi family lawyer, said the case was setting a historic precedent: “You’re saying that people can walk free after carrying out criminal action just because they were allegedly not aware of the effects of drugs or other substances?
“Will this also apply to drunk drivers who kill children on the road?”
No it won’t ! It will only apply to Muslims who kill Jews and who were smart enough to smoke dope beforehand !
One might wonder“if the religions were reversed, would a French Jew have been held not criminally liable for killing an elderly Muslim woman.” The answer is…of course he would.
Europe is already F*cked. Trump is trying to hold back this madness in America.
