Kentucky’s 2015 Lie of the Year

Watching Kentucky Democrats try to figure out how they got decimated in the November elections has been a lot like an old Seinfeld episode. Sorting through all the “yada yada” has been funny to watch — thanks Speaker Stumbo — but what is most interesting is the lack of self-awareness evident in all the self-delusion.

While Stumbo’s infamous “Democrat Jesus” tirade attempted to make elephants’ lack of availability in ancient Bethlehem an issue and Jack Conway spent millions trying to convince Kentuckians that Matt Bevin’s taxes should keep them awake at night and left-wing shysters Bluegrass Family Values tried to win in 2015 by recycling Mitch McConnell’s worst lies from 2014, none of these held a candle to Kentucky’s 2015 Lie of the Year.

The really big lie that ran Jack Conway and friends out of contention in 2015 was that Matt Bevin was going to take health insurance away from 500,000 people. Conway and Steve Beshear even doubled back and labeled Bevin “callous” for doing what he was never going to do.

FK – I don’t doubt commie care played a part but more likely it was the evangelicals’ anger over the county clerk not doing her ‘job,’ or rather being put in jail for it. But then I didn’t really expect Bevin to win, neither could I vote for him. In fact for the first time in decades I just couldn’t bring myself to vote at all.

FK – Disagreeing with the court is not necessarily ‘irrelevant.’ We the People are the ultimate arbiters of our rights, not a row of black-robed shysters whose decisions are often no less affected by their own values, prejudices, authoritarian leanings, than anyone else.

As is often noted the marriage license was brought about in part to prevent interracial marriage. So what had once been a power of the church became a privilege granted after the payment of a fee or passing of some test or another.

You need to do a search on the ‘fire in the theater’ thing. It’s not quite that simple.

I’ve often heard that ‘christians’ are ‘in the world’ but not ‘of the world.’ Answering first to any govt. is being ‘of the world.’ Taking on a public or govt. job that requires one do be ‘of the world’ such as supporting laws they find incompatible with their version, sub-version or subversion is going against this, one of their most basic commandments.

Where does all this end? I don’t expect to be in this realm long enough to see that outcome. Millions have already died in such wars. We may be headed for another one.

Oh that’s funny. The Kentucky Legislature voting to impeach or convict her. Not in this state. Even the commiecrats aren’t that stupid. It would probably hand the Kentucky House over to the RINOS in the next election cycle and and the already increasing enrollment for Republican voters would skyrocket.

Well, I don’t know, considering the stupidity of the commiecrat House Leadership it might be a possibility.

And that would be ‘God’s opinion’ to the average believer. Something many non-believers don’t seem to get. I was raised in that ignorance and have sat around several campfires listening to many versions, sub-versions and subversions. The mindset is not one of true ‘free will’ but slavery to ancient tribal propaganda and to a god that was clearly patterned after ancient tyrannical kings who looked down their noses at their subjects and said “Be good subjects(slaves, servants) or I’ll torture and/or kill you.

The human mind is still a long way from being free of the tyrannies of the past. That’s why billions have no problem with the concept that their god, that’s ‘their god’ will burn the vast majority of humans that ever existed alive in fire forever. Maybe this inclination was inserted into our DNA for some reason. I can’t imagine why.
