Comment on a NYT article:

Liberals don’t “believe in comprehensive sex education and reliable birth control”; they know it and practice it.

As opposed to biblically-concussed conservatives, who ‘believe’ the Bible is the ‘word of God’, who believe that pre-marital sex is ‘sinful’, who refuse to fully acknowledge the reality of scientific evolution, who finance ‘abstinence’ ignorance and under-finance sex education and public healthcare and equate many forms of birth control with abortion.

What we have is conservative religious cults forming the bedrock of religious Republican states that blindly believe in disproven and discredited theories while remaining scornful and/or allergic to liberal reality.

When one is raised on cultured religious stupidity, one is bound to wind up with dumb family values.

Religion teaches people to believe while flushing thinking and reality down the toilet.

That’s why so many evangelicals and fake-phony-fraudulent “Christians’ believed they saw the holy image of Jesus in a thrice-married, morally bankrupt philander-groper-tax-dodger-and-consumer-fraud-expert-Know-Nothing when he descended from his golden escalator to share his divine Mexican-Muslim-Misogyny wisdom with the religiously Republican uneducated masses.

Fraudulent family and political values are what hold the Republican Confederacy tightly together in a bond of fake fellowship.

“Let us pray” for more cultured stupidity, teenaged births, divorce, guns, minimum wage work, ‘free-dumb’ and Grand Old Poverty.

Constantly and annoyingly conflated
