Margaret, I don’t suffer fools gladly. Nor do I gladly suffer today’s Conservative Christian Republicans. And now that I’ve read those first two lines, I realize I’m being repetitive.
To be clear there are some of each I can tolerate and some I even love. Not all conservatives are racists, but many are without even knowing it. Not all Christians are hypocrites and I would venture to say most aren’t. And not all Republicans are asshats although I’m beginning to think most are. But every Conservative Christian Republican I have met has very definitely been a racist, hypocritical asshat. Every. Single. One. By definition.
By definition a conservative is a person who is averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes. The problem with that is traditionally we have created a country that values some and discriminates against others. America has a real problem with racism and other-ism and it’s not going to be solved by clinging to traditional values.
By definition a Christian is a person who has received Christian baptism and is a believer in Christianity. Christianity is the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Interestingly enough Jesus was born into a family of refugees fleeing violence in their homeland. You know, they were… well… they were immigrants and not the fair-skinned ones from Europe.
By definition a Republican is a person who is a member or supporter of the Republican Party. The Republican Party has chosen Donald Trump to be its leader. Most Republicans are conservative but it’s not necessarily a requirement. Donald Trump is a racist but he is not a conservative. He is also not a Christian. He is, however, an asshat.
In case you are missing my point, let me spell it out for you. You can’t follow the teachings of Christ while supporting Donald Trump. Nor can you claim to be a Conservative. Those paths don’t just diverge, they were never together to begin with. You could still be a Republican, but honestly why would you? Republicans are idiots.
Ouch. That wasn’t very Christian of me. But, you know what? I’m pretty sure Jesus would think the same about Republicans. And I know for damn sure Jesus would not gladly suffer a Conservative Christian Republican. Even Jesus has his limits.
Conservative Christian Republicans think there is a war on Christmas. There isn’t. There just seems to be a misunderstanding about when to say Merry Christmas versus Happy Holidays. It’s really not that hard.
Merry Christmas is a lovely greeting between two Christians during the month of December. Happy Holidays is a lovely thing to say to someone when you want them to have a Happy Holiday. It actually comes in handy when you are not sure if someone is a Christian. Over 5 billion people on this planet are not Christian. That’s Billion with a B.
And Conservative Christian Republicans really, really, really don’t like to abort babies. Interesting fact: aborting a baby isn’t a thing. We abort a fertilized egg, a blastocyst, an embryo, and sometimes a fetus. By 24 weeks a fetus has a chance of survival outside the uterus. If we’re talking about something later than that, we’re really talking about a pregnancy gone horribly wrong.
The fact that Conservative Christian Republicans have a talking point about post-birth abortions tells you all you need to know about how unChristian they are. If you can’t make your case with the truth then do you really have a case? There is indeed something called a late-term abortion. It’s not pretty. It’s not happy. It’s usually the last choice, but it is a choice a woman sometimes makes. And if you knew anything about why a woman might have to make that choice, you would be questioning your faith in God before you would be questioning the choice of that woman.
But bring that child into the world and suddenly all bets are off with Conservative Christian Republicans. They cage them rather than welcome them. You realize seven have already died while in our custody. Seven that we know of.
The GOP sends our kids off to war in exchange for oil. Trump sends them off in exchange for payment. And Conservative Christian Republicans vote for that shit. And evidently they have lengthy conversations with Donald about how many times they flush their toilets.
They also support the death penalty knowing full well that innocent people have mistakenly (or purposely) been executed. And knowing full well that the death penalty is unfairly used to condemn a higher percentage of people of color.
Conservative Christian Republicans believe that God created the world and everything in it. And yet somehow efforts to save the world are considered liberal heresy. Trump doesn’t like energy efficient light bulbs because they make him look orange. Honey, it’s not the bulbs.
Suggesting that 13 year old Barron Trump isn’t a Baron is unforgivable but mocking 16 year old Greta Thunberg for wanting to save the world will get you several hundred thousand likes in MAGA Twitter World.
Can I just pause a minute and focus on Melanie… I mean Melania, our First Lady of Porn… I mean of the United States. Honey, save your outrage. Spare us your mother bear act about politicizing children. Your husband cages children and you went to visit them wearing a jacket that said “I don’t care. Do you?” A few months later you and your orange husband posed with a picture of an infant whose parents were killed by a racist mass murderer. In that photo hubby was giving the “thumbs up.”
I hear Melanie… Melania is upset that Michelle Obama was featured on more magazine covers. Honestly I don’t get it either. With those perky kidneys of hers, I’d think Melania would be on all the men’s magazine covers.
A Conservative Christian Republican will claim that Trump was chosen by God while completely ignoring he is an adulterous, lying, greedy, hateful…have I mentioned recently that Trump is a sack of shit? He stole from charities. He mocked a disabled man. He admitted on video to being a sexual predator and used his position in the pageant world to sneak a peak at young women changing clothes. He sexualized his own daughter on a national radio show agreeing that she was a piece of ass. Let that sink in. When another man asked permission to call his daughter a piece of ass, Trump said “Yeah” and then later on a national television show he suggested he would date her if she wasn’t his daughter. If you think Trump is the chosen one, Jesus thinks you’re an idiot. Of this I am sure.
Here’s the thing. Jesus wasn’t rich. He also wasn’t white. He was a carpenter. If you know anything about Donald Trump then you should know he’s been sued by a lot of carpenters because Trump doesn’t pay his bills. He has also been sued by people of color because he doesn’t like having them live in buildings he owns. Jesus became a preacher but not the kind that flew around in private jets and hung out with Kanye. And, most importantly, his teachings were far from conservative:
Matthew 25:31-46 – “…I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Luke 4:16-21 – “…Bring good news to the poor…release to the captives…sight to the blind…let the oppressed go free.”
Luke 3:11 – “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none…”
Romans 12:13 – “Mark of the true Christian: “…Extend hospitality to strangers…”
I don’t like Conservative Christian Republicans for the same reasons I don’t like Donald Trump. They are racist, hypocritical asshats. I mean it. Really.
Margaret and Helen

Conservative Christian Republicans definitely need to study their bibles.
Malachi 3:5 Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
Matthew 25: 35-40: 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 22:36-40: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 19: 16-30: 16 A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?” 17 Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. But if you want to have eternal life, obey the law’s commands.” 18 The man asked, “Which ones?” Jesus answered, “‘You must not murder anyone, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not tell lies about others, 19 you must respect your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’ 20 The young man said, “I have obeyed all these commands. What else do I need?” 21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all that you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me!” 22 But when the young man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn’t want to do this, because he was very rich. So he left. 23 Then Jesus said to his followers, “The truth is, it will be very hard for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom. 24 Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”
Matthew 7: 21-23: 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Looks like a whole lot of those who declare themselves conservative Christian Republicans? Are not going to be spending their eternity in a very nice place.

As we swing into 2020, it looks like the “base” that Trump depends on is getting smaller and “softer”. Christianity Today and Christian Post, two very opposite “Christian” magazines are slinging whatever at each other and losing staffers as a result. CT was founded by Jerry Falwell Sr. and is supposed to be totally conservative but CP, a competing magazine doesn’t think so at all. This is getting to kind of looking like the battle between the angels in the old folklore that brought St. Michael the Archangel to prominence! The “Christian” press has been a big deal for Trump so this a a very bad omen for him. Cannot shed a single tear over this but I will observe keenly!

thethinginbetween-
Pfft.
Leave out the context and you have left out the argument
No hypocrisy in Ms Helen’s stance – just some heavy duty pointing to inconsistent and irreconcilable logic of CCRs.
“In case you are missing my point, let me spell it out for you. You can’t follow the teachings of Christ while supporting Donald Trump. Nor can you claim to be a Conservative. Those paths don’t just diverge, they were never together to begin with. You could still be a Republican, but honestly why would you? Republicans are idiots.
Ouch. That wasn’t very Christian of me. But, you know what? I’m pretty sure Jesus would think the same about Republicans”
If that makes you uncomfortable, by all means state a case which purports to reconcile the CCR views with broader notions of Christian, conservative, and Republican but skip the old faithful fallback of yelling hypocrisy. It doesn’t address what was said.
And:
“There are a ton of people who are actually contributing time and money rather than just “proving” that with tons of money you can sail around the world as you skip out on school.” ???
I’m guessing that sounded good in your head but it makes no sense . Just sounds like a mean girl slam of Ms Thunberg- doesn’t address doodly squat.

Honey- if you’re gonna try to fake a CCR you just gotta get your act together.
—————————-
‘You are one angry, hatefilled old woman. I have never read so much hate in a blog before, but you managed it.”
ok- good start. angry diatribe, projecting your own emotional crap onto someone else, ad hominem plus an almost personal-incredulity fallacy thingy.
“And you are pitifully ignorant of the Bible and real Christians.”
Fairly ok -you got the no-true-Scotsman in there and asserted something you show no proof for.
“We rule the world and Jesus makes us rich and pretty.”
You blew this one- CCRs never say this in public. They only say it amongst themselves.
” A Christian is one who believes in Jesus Christ, but you don’t know that and probably have never had a nodding acquaintance with Him, but that’s okay. ”
Ah jeez- you have utterly failed here hon. This was the time to double down on the no-true-Scotsman, throw in a strawman and light it on fire. Instead you did a mealy mouthed ad hominem and wimpy what-a-Christian-is dealie. Pfft
“You will meet him one day. Hope you are ready. He will make you poor.”
Oh for crap’s sake! There are plenty of good you-will-suffer-for-eternity lines out there- you coulda at least finished up with some flourish and thunder.
‘Scared to post any comments against you, aren’t you? ”
You just couldn’t look round here at Margaret and Helen’s place, just a bit, and see that they allow all kinds of disagreements? Tighten up your game- a real CCR would have at least looked at the lay of the land a bit closer if only to whine louder about all the nefarious goings on here.
“If you can’t beat em’, you impeach them. Sounds like what the Democrats are doing right now.”
Irrelevant and red herring– very CCR but not useful to your phony argument
“I bet you don’t let this comment stay. I know everything. I am Jesus.”
Yeah, well…Next time you try to fake a CCR response skip that last gin and tonic. Once again, CCRs do not say this in public, only amongst themselves.
You do get a bingo for number of logical fallacies used nut you just flat failed to do an effective CCR rant sweetie.

A blog is an appropriate venue for an “…angry, hate-filled…” old person.
The White House is not.
Standing behind a podium at a political rally, clinging to it for dear life, while mocking dead veterans, reporters with disabilities, brown people, immigrants, women, those of other faiths, and “s***hole countries,” is barely acceptable, It is certainly not the behavior of any “real Christian.”
Yes, that is my opinion. No, I am not “scared” of yours.
But if you’re going to define a “real Christian” as someone who believes in Jesus Christ, you might want to put some effort into following the suggestions made in the Bible about how “real Christians” should behave That’s what I was taught in Sunday school.

You are one angry, hatefilled old woman. I have never read so much hate in a blog before, but you managed it. And you are pitifully ignorant of the Bible and real Christians. We rule the world and Jesus makes us rich and pretty. A Christian is one who believes in Jesus Christ, but you don’t know that and probably have never had a nodding acquaintance with Him, but that’s okay. You will meet him one day. Hope you are ready. He will make you poor.

The only error I see in this post is that you capitalized christian when speaking of the Republican Conservatives. They are most certainly NOT Christian. 🙂 I do love you. Keep on keeping on.

Trump himself has referred to her as Melanie.
Me? I call her Malaria, thanks to a fabulous autocorrect moment.

Helen you are the reason I have a Twitter account (where I, of course, follow you) but don’t Tweet – although I did retweet michaelharriot’s tweet as you requested – because I missed you when you stopped blogging regularly. You’re great with 140 characters but you really shine in this longer format.

Thank you for your articles. For so long I thought that I was one of only a very few who had these thoughts. Now I know others are willing to speak the truth. As with so many others who have posted comments, I just cannot believe that so many think this person is “sent by God” to the American people. This guy is evil and corrupt and seems to have some type of hypnotic control over (mostly) reasonable people. How is this happening? More than ever we need your voices to speak the truth, as many of us (like me) are not so articulate. Keep up the good work, ladies. I anxiously await each of your columns.

Helen, thank you for your analysis. I really, really agree with you. I am weary of the continuous BS from this self-serving man. I don’t understand how or why so many continue to think he deserves any respect. He has made clear that he puts himself before his country. Those who follow him are showing their true beliefs. It’s truly alarming to me that I am related to some of them and considered some to be my friends. We are better than this.
