Matheson Is Really, Really Terrible

Does anyone else think that what distinguishes a "Blue Dog" from a regular Democrat is the fact that they've been neutered? Yes, obviously. That said, it's time for Jim-Bob Matheson to find a new line of work. This is inexcusable:

In a statement, Matheson said the [current health care] legislation "is too expensive, contains too many special deals, does not contain health care costs and will result in increases in health insurance premiums."

Matheson said improving health care and providing affordable coverage in Utah will remain "critical" to him, but said he believes supporting the "wrong kind of reform" which will "increase health care costs" will hurt the nation more than it will help.

Hey, fellow citizens of the Fighting Second: let's get this pandering, horrible, ridiculous excuse for an elected official OUT OF OFFICE. Or do we lack the sand that the proud wingnuts at RedState have? After all, they're driving hard for a more conservative candidate than Bob freakin' Bennett, for the love of god.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.

God, Power, Fear, and Donald Trump

Posted on 11/23/2019 by the Salt City Sinner What does it mean to love God, what does it mean to love power, and what does it mean to love Donald Trump? Are these separate questions, or have they become scrambled together? Given that 81% of Evangelicals voted for Trump , it’s safe to conclude that the latter is the case. Unpacking the tangled webbing of fear, greed, superstition, and credulity that binds white Evangelicals to Donald J. Trump, the most profane and libertine President in United States history, will be the project of generations. Religious conservatives didn’t get here overnight, and it’s an odd place for them to have arrived at, but the journey isn’t as mysterious as it might seem at first glance. A good place to start is Believe Me: the Evangelical Road to Donald Trump , by John Fea . Fea’s book is an attempt to answer these questions in a serious way, and from the standpoint of one who shares many of the values and presuppositions of the average parish
