    There is a reason that the police ARE policed. My local Sheriff recently went to the graybar hotel for corruption. Blame the stress (rural area, he was King Shit) for that one.

    This is GOOD. Proof is better than trust. Trust takes faith, proof uses logic.

    Trust is a tenet of religion.
    Proof is a tenet science.
    Choose one.

    "Cops don't trust us; we don't trust them. The government doesn't trust us and we don't trust them. "

    That's because they are the servants of the elites, even though they delude themselves otherwise. An honest cop should WANT to be recorded so they'd have PROOF to take to battle. An honest government should CRAVE transparency in order to trumpet its virtue.

    Hateful rhetoric is appropriate when attacking beliefs, such as religion, which are enemies of human advancement.

    We SHOULD hate them. They hate all who are not them. Christian Taliban are more polished than Muslim Taliban, and have had their influence reduced by many, many bloody wars. It bears relentless reminding that the core of this religion is contemptible superstition. Why respect it? Why respect the people who support it?

    Christians resent our having freedom over our own bodies. I reject that. I don't belong to their imaginary friend. Rebellion against their nonsense is perfectly in order. It merits attack, not respect.

    Ridicule is the best medicine against superstition, and so what if it offends the enemy? Make no mistake, and judge religions by what they do WHEN THEY CONTROL THE STATE.

    Were it not for rebellion against religion, we'd all live under different forms of Inquisition and be murdered for heresy. The distinguishing characteristic of religion is bloody struggle for power followed by murder of non-believers. There is a Westboro Baptist Church inside all Christian churches. One is either a Fundamentalist or a hypocrite.

    You forgot Muslim bashing.

    When Superstitionists stop trying to regulate what non-superstitionists do WITH THEIR OWN BODIES, I'll back off on bashing them.

    Your superstition doesn't preach MORE PERSONAL FREEDOM for ME. It preaches SUBMISSION.

    I REJECT submission to you, your imaginary friend, and your legions of Fascist Republican White Trash. You deserve no respect and will get none from me.

    No, they don't. My real background is easy to verify with many military witnesses past and current. I'd have to flag everything with "IDENTITY THEFT VICTIM, hold all transactions until verified" and freeze my accounts while redirecting my military retirement pay to another account.

    I don't work in career fields with many sensitive people. I don't like the fuckers and they don't like me and that's the way I like it.
