A woman talking about her sexual impulses was compelling to you. :lol:

Why? You think supporting a bigot makes you more desirable to women. :lol:

You liked one article because you agreed with it and didn't like the other because you don't like the content. It is that simple.

Seriously, never thought about it this way. I'm personally boycotting the NFL, it helps that my team is dog****, but the whole Kap situation got me in my feelings, and the fact they brought back that racist Hank Williams sealed the deal with me. These people that run around here and say 'keep politics out of sports' are full of ****.

Throughout the article, Gilley uses numerous African countries including Zambia and Nigeria to illustrate what he claims is evidence that colonization is good. Gilley further suggests that independence in Guinea-Bissau and Congo have been fruitless and presumes Guineans are asking when the Portuguese will come back. Regarding Congo, he states, “Maybe the Belgians should come back.”

The White Man's Burden rears its ugly head once again.

And the funny thing about this article is that it ignores the reality on the ground, which is that the West never left.

The term “evangelical fundamentalist” can today be assimilated to the “evangelical right” or “theoconservatism” and has its origins in the years 1910-1915. In that period a South Californian millionaire, Lyman Stewart, published the 12-volume work The Fundamentals. The author wanted to respond to the threat of modernist ideas of the time. He summarized the thought of authors whose doctrinal support he appreciated. He exemplified the moral, social, collective and individual aspects of the evangelical faith. His admirers include many politicians and even two recent presidents: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

The social-religious groups inspired by authors such as Stewart consider the United States to be a nation blessed by God. And they do not hesitate to base the economic growth of the country on a literal adherence to the Bible. Over more recent years this current of thought has been fed by the stigmatization of enemies who are often “demonized.”

The panorama of threats to their understanding of the American way of life have included modernist spirits, the black civil rights movement, the hippy movement, communism, feminist movements and so on. And now in our day there are the migrants and the Muslims. To maintain conflict levels, their biblical exegeses have evolved toward a decontextualized reading of the Old Testament texts about the conquering and defense of the “promised land,” rather than be guided by the incisive look, full of love, of Jesus in the Gospels.

Within this narrative, whatever pushes toward conflict is not off limits. It does not take into account the bond between capital and profits and arms sales. Quite the opposite, often war itself is assimilated to the heroic conquests of the “Lord of Hosts” of Gideon and David. In this Manichaean vision, belligerence can acquire a theological justification and there are pastors who seek a biblical foundation for it, using the scriptural texts out of context.

Another interesting aspect is the relationship with creation of these religious groups that are composed mainly of whites from the deep American South. There is a sort of “anesthetic” with regard to ecological disasters and problems generated by climate change. They profess “dominionism” and consider ecologists as people who are against the Christian faith. They place their own roots in a literalist understanding of the creation narratives of the book of Genesis that put humanity in a position of “dominion” over creation, while creation remains subject to human will in biblical submission.

In this theological vision, natural disasters, dramatic climate change and the global ecological crisis are not only not perceived as an alarm that should lead them to reconsider their dogmas, but they are seen as the complete opposite: signs that confirm their non-allegorical understanding of the final figures of the Book of Revelation and their apocalyptic hope in a “new heaven and a new earth.”

Theirs is a prophetic formula: fight the threats to American Christian values and prepare for the imminent justice of an Armageddon, a final showdown between Good and Evil, between God and Satan. In this sense, every process (be it of peace, dialogue, etc.) collapses before the needs of the end, the final battle against the enemy. And the community of believers (faith) becomes a community of combatants (fight). Such a unidirectional reading of the biblical texts can anesthetize consciences or actively support the most atrocious and dramatic portrayals of a world that is living beyond the frontiers of its own “promised land.”

GOP is Old Testament and Dem/Libs are New. One side is fire and brimstone the other is arms open with love and understanding.

The GOP and right pretend to stand with Jesus but really want to destroy the world and make their own white promised land in their white image of Jesus.

It's funny how Republicans no longer bring up George W. Bush. It's almost as if they're ashamed of him.
