This Sunday, I’d just like to remind everyone that it’s perfectly valid to not think Jesus was a great moral teacher. In fact it’s perfectly valid to find him a manipulative, distasteful, and unlikable literary character www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/lets-face-...

GOP Representative Thomas Massie gave the keynote address at the JBS's 60th Anniversary celebration in 2018. The previous chair of the Marion County (OR) GOP used to post John Birch Society content on his FB page all the time.

Behavior associated with abusive New Religious Movements performed by Jesus in the gospels: •claiming exclusive access to necessary spiritual knowledge •preaching the imminent destruction of the world, and promising that the faithful and ONLY the faithful will be spared

•commanding the faithful that, if their family rejects joining the faith community and surrendering to its leader, to choose the faith community and the leader over their families

Some radical left professors are saying today's Republican Party is the genealogical descendant of the John Birch Society. Oregon Republican Party: HOLD OUR BEER!

Journalism is supposed to hold power accountable. The NY Times chooses instead to flex power, endangering us all. Trying to force Biden aside by creating a movement for his ouster out of whole cloth only makes Trump’s election more likely. We see you www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/some-july-...

yellow journalism

“National greatness” is a pernicious lie in any context. “Russians and Americans have a lot in common—much of it unhealthy—including an ‘imperial provincialist’ outlook, a tendency toward grandiosity and conspiracy theories, and a penchant for violence” www.bugbeardispatch.com/p/some-july-...
