…But let’s not forget she’s still a Dem, voted for the Green New Deal or sump’n close to it.And a Hindu. Ok let’s not go there.
But we’re just SOOOO pathetically grateful to her for speaking up for speaking up! I mean how awful, how maddening is it,that these men, like Brennan,, like McCabe, who are known to have perjured themselves, are still on TV hectoring us, threatening us? Getting highly paid to do it?!?
The message is: look, they can’t really have done anything so wrong, or they wouldnt be here. Americans have great faith in packaging; the foregoing is THE most powerful message that could be transmitted!
Of course, if we had any broadcasters on our side, we oughta be able to counter it by replaying the appearances of the once (so recently!) ubiquitous Michael Avenatti. The CNN acolytes actually teasing a presidential run for this shyster! but not even Fox does so.
So thank you, Tulsi!! And in general we also like your anti-war stance where the US isn’t directly threatened. And oh how we love your low melodious voice, an excellent thing in a woman.
I’ll tell ya what: Now that you’re out of Congress, whyncha visit the Office of the Former President in Florida, and see what common ground you can find with him? If there IS a lot of it, whyncha change parties and run with him in 2024?
Based on what you just said, I think it’d be a dream ticket!
Brilliant, Hypatia, as usual 🙂

Actually who cares that she’s a Hindu. Romney’s a Mormon, right? I don’t see how we can call Mormons monotheists when they believe that every good Mormon guy gets to be a god on his own planet…that’s a HUGE pantheon, lotsa deities!

Yeah I think I read that in Christopher Hitchens’ book. I just looked it up again. So here’s the deal now: Mormons believe in theosis: humans becoming gods. ’ They don’t like the “your own planet” formulation any more cuz it sounds so sci-fi crazy. I found articles with titles like “No, Mormons don’t believe every man gets his own planet, but they don’t Not believe it either”. Maybe his own “universe”? That makes it sound more mystical and less kooky.
It also occurred to me that when Smith dreamed all this up, the idea of going to another planet was every bit as theoretical and unimaginable as going to Heaven. Now, ordinary human beings have sent mechanical envoys to Mars, f’rinstance, and they weren’t even Mormons!
Whatever the locale is, there’d be only one god per universe, or per planet, so the question of monotheism doesnt come up or at least they can dodge it. Still it hasta mean there are a kazillion gods out there somewhere, more of ‘em every minute.
The point of all the wives is to populate the guy’s ..afterworld, whatever you wanna call it.
This stuff is so fascinating. I read a lot about it when Romney was running.

Wow, so you disrobed a devout Mormon woman? And you didn’t even have to promise her Celestial Marriage? No, I think it’s YOU who should enlighten US!!
I’d have to look it all up again. What I remember from 2012 was that nearly all of Mormonism turns out to be about marriage and fertility. And that places it firmly in the tradition of religious mystery cults since…..forever.
It started in upper New York State, part of a general region which by mid 19th century had become known as “the burned-over district” because so many religious cults had flared up and burned out there.
Joseph Smith wanted his new creed to be “the Islam of America”. He emulated the prophet Mohammed in various ways, notably, by wanting to marry a nymphet although inconveniently already married—hence, polygamy.
It’s a gutter creed, just like Islam. And bless you dear Simon, I know you won’t ban me for saying so.

I should give kudos to my husband who signed me up for Barnes &Nobles and Amazon book club (without me knowing) with specific parameters in terms of my interests. I usually enjoy browsing the brick and mortar stores (B&N and especially niche) but they are becoming less interesting, too rare and too commercial.
I get three surprises a month on a variety of topics ranging from history to sports and always the latest from Sowell, Coulter and Ayaan Hirsi Ali because he knows I consider their books to be collector items!

I liked Lieberman and Moynihan (in particular) because Joe was a hawk and Daniel Patrick just had common sense. As a kid, I remember DPM’s warnings about the 25% illegitimacy rate in the black community and his dire warnings about the ramifications. Boy, did he understand where those numbers were taking us!
I doubt he could have foreseen where it has taken the white working class as well, though.
