========== There's a reason America's founders put the Establishment clause at the beginning of the bill of rights. They knew all about churches established for political ends. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/opinions/ten-commandments-school-prayer-texas-hemmer/index.html But the reactionary forces opposed to the Enlightenment never gave up, and the Trumpist Dixiecrat GOP intends to finish the job this time, and thereby secure minority rule. #PS1minority ===== impact 6 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-05-26 ratio 12 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title There's a reason America's founders put the Establishment topic minority wordrate 0 words 55 audclicks 1 epoch Lifetime ID 1939594176385092 impress 15 matchedlinkclicks 1 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "05/26/2023 21:05" reach 12 title "Opinion: Don’t misread the failed effort to put the Ten Commandments in every classroom | CNN" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1939594176385092 ========== Rewriting history - a major industry in the Old South, in the Soviet Union, and in the New South. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/1619/virginia.html Who needs liberating education when you can impose forced indoctrination? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/20/opinion/desantis-history-education.html == Oddly enough, Phi Beta Kappa - Love of learning is the guide of life - was founded in Virginia - probably by sons of slaveholders - https://uh.edu/honors/students/current-students/societies/phi-beta-kappa/ though its members were probably familiar with the Enlightenment ideals of freemasonry. http://www.tnlor.org/?p=24&print=pdf What would those founders think of DeSantis? #PS1minority https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/20/opinion/desantis-history-education.html ===== impact 23 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-05-22 ratio 3 react 3 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title Rewriting history - a major industry in the Old South, topic minority wordrate 0 words 76 audclicks 2 epoch Lifetime ID 1937016213309555 impress 12 matchedlinkclicks 2 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "05/22/2023 14:05" rcs 1 reach 10 sharesimpress 1 title "Opinion | There Is a Reason Ron DeSantis Wants History Told a Certain Way" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1937016213309555 ========== What we really love are money and power, period. On some level we think having them is an indication that you deserve them. This is another core belief that “Succession” deftly skewers: the idea that the rich are somehow better, more intelligent, more competent. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/20/opinion/succession-wealth-striving.html Nothing new here - it's just the theology of Job's friends, beloved by the rich and powerful of all times and places. https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1792247641119747 And not far from the Divine Right of Kings - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings incidental damage from the establishment of state religions. You don't have to look far to find the scorn of the born rich for the strivers - whether in Trump's New York or Tennessee Williams' South. #PS1minority https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/20/opinion/succession-wealth-striving.html ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-05-20 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title What we really love are money and power, period.

Kind of like dealing with Putin - compromise is interpreted as weakness. The right-to-lifers are not going to vote Democratic for spite. But if they don't get their way, they might stay home, or vote for really fringey primary or third-party candidates with no chance in the general election, handing swing districts to Democrats. And like the psychopath fanatics they're becoming, instead of changing course, GOP has doubled down on its losing strategy. #PS1minority ===== impact 12 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-04-07 ratio 10 react 1 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 title The fundamental dilemma of minority rule - topic minority wordrate 0 words 116 epoch Lifetime ID 1909326456078531 impress 11 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "04/07/2023 21:04" rcs 1 reach 10 sharesimpress 1 title "Opinion | The Abortion Ban Backlash Is Starting to Freak Out Republicans" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1909326456078531 ========== Abolish the existing Federal government and replace it with political appointees who promise to protect minority rule! To heck with Constitution, Congress, laws, and norms! The president makes the decisions. Just like DeSantis in Florida, Huey Long in Louisiana, and other examples abroad. Trump hates to be bothered by the petty details of governing and negotiating with Congress, so he'll be glad to delegate all that to his Heritage henchmen. https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-conservatives-trump-heritage-857eb794e505f1c6710eb03fd5b58981 #PS1minority ===== comments 1 impact 21 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-08-28 ratio 2 react 3 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Abolish the existing Federal government and replace it with topic minority wordrate 0 words 71 audclicks 1 commentsimpress 1 epoch Lifetime ID 684112433763368 impress 12 matchedlinkclicks 1 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "08/28/2023 22:08" rcs 5 reach 8 reactions 3 sharesimpress 1 title "Recruiting is underway for Trump-like 'wrecking ball' to shrink government and fire federal workers" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/684112433763368 ========== Are you confused about the cause of the Civil War? Alexander Stephens wasn't - its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornerstone-speech The interesting question of that day - echoed since time immemorial right down to today - is how did the ruling class get the masses to fight on behalf of the ruling class, against the masses' own interests? A rich man's war, a poor man's fight By dividing the masses and pitting them against each other - as reflected in our own culture wars. #PS1minority ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-07-26 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Are you confused about the cause of the Civil War? topic minority wordrate 0 words 109 epoch Lifetime ID 665955225579089 impress 12 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "07/26/2023 07:07" reach 10 title "Cornerstone Speech" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/665955225579089 ========== Why can't we just agree on taking care of children and families? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/16/political-polarization-solution-ej-dionne It's easy - as long as no money is involved. The hard-working overtaxed job-creator megadonors - who pay for GOP politics and a lot of Democratic politics - are firmly opposed to any plan to tax them to support shiftless irresponsible lazy poor people. After all, the megadonors' children are well cared for. So hard-bargained bipartisan proposals end up going nowhere. Of course they usually don't SAY this, at least not in public. Tough love sounds bad - a lot like stinginess. this poor widow has put in more than all Nothing has changed in 2000 years. And nothing much WILL change as long as politics runs on unlimited dark money - masquerading as free speech, thanks to a judiciary groomed to be compliant. #PS1minority ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-07-19 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Why can't we just agree on taking care of children and topic minority wordrate 0 words 137 epoch Lifetime ID 662530642588214 impress 13 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "07/19/2023 13:07" reach 9 title "Opinion | Want less rancid politics?

Selfless public servants at the top attract selfless public servants all the way down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendleton_Civil_Service_Reform_Act You can't count on them to defend minority rule!

That works because the reactionary wings of Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism have coalesced politically if not theologically to support minority rule - showing once again how theology conforms to politics, not vice versa. No man can server two masters! A joke from 1960 - I wouldn't want an American pope. He'd have to take orders from the president. #PS1minority ===== comments 1 impact 48 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2023-06-09 ratio 3 react 4 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title There's a long history of anti-Catholicism in America - topic minority wordrate 0 words 119 audclicks 2 commentsimpress 1 epoch Lifetime ID 639390058235606 impress 14 matchedotherclicks 2 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "06/09/2023 08:06" rcs 2 reach 12 sharesimpress 1 title "Florida Gov.
