Truth is the Most Benevolent and Powerful Force in the Universe


“A man who lies to himself and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.”

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 Portrait by Vasily Perov c. 1872

This morning I woke up feeling compelled to share this thought. We currently have a powerful example of such a person in front of us.

Some Members of the Society of the Friends of Jesus (Quakers) are atheists or agnostics. Some refer to GOD as The Truth.

I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.”

OLD WHITE MEN


I saw a beautiful young Social Justice Warrior carrying a sign that said Don't Let Old White Men Decide About Abortion.

It was Old White Men who fought side by side with us and helped enact Roe v. Wade. I know because I was there, wearing my black wife-beater T-shirt that said SUPER BITCH.

History is your friend. Do some research. All of us Crones will be dead soon.


"The Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion (CCS) was a group of American clergy that counseled and referred people to licensed doctors for safe abortions before the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade made abortion legal nationwide.

Starting in 1967 with 21 Protestant ministers and Jewish rabbis in New York City, the group operated out of Judson Memorial Church. It grew to incorporate chapters in thirty-eight states with some 3,000 clergy as members. By the time of the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, it is estimated that the Clergy Consultation Service had nationally referred at least 450,000 people for safe abortions." - Wikipedia.



The SCOTUS enacted Roe v. Wade, an all-male Conservative Republican majority court. Old White Men. That decision is the white-bread Conservative biologically and socially relevant decision. Full text of Roe v. Wade:


This Old White Man was my mentor. Rest in Peace, Howard Moody.


The Rev. Howard R. Moody, the longtime minister of the historic Judson Memorial Church, who hurled himself and his Greenwich Village congregation into roiling social issues, at one point helping women from around the nation get illegal abortions, died on Wednesday in Manhattan. He was 91. Howard Moody, Minister of Judson Memorial Church, Dead at 91 — The New York Times (nytimes.com)


A heartfelt message to the current Supreme Court of the United States:

Song for the Oily Wrestler and My Heros

WORD PLAY

FUCK (with) synonyms: lay screw shag bang bonk score schtup #$% and some I surely missed. Pick your favorite.


When I turn on YouTube at the end of the day,
When the last winds of work blues have flown,
Conway and Swalwell will be 
There and waiting for me.
I won’t have to #$% Gym Jordan alone.

I won’t have to screw Jordan alone.
Kinzinger’s career died my sins to atone.
Through the darkness, I see.
He’ll still be working with me.
I won’t have to schtup Gym Jordan alone.

Though the billows of lies and trouble may sweep
Jared Moskowitz will care for our own
Until the end of the journey
The Democracy he will keep
I won’t have to bang Jordan alone.

Note: The Democracy is what FDR called All Americans

I used a beautiful old Christian Hymn for rhyme scheme and meter. I know this Singer will understand and forgive me. He was a touch badly behaved once in awhile like me. 

This is a living and transforming Dog. I need three more verses/chorus. I will accept assistance.

DAWGS IN HELL




Muttsy Gaetz sought a job on the TV.

Wore his best suit when he applied.

Newsmax said, “No. Man, you too dirty.”

Muttsy went home, snort some and cried.

Greenberg and Muttsy are both Satyrs.

Chant: “We rich, we kool, we young!

Rich folk need to learn what enough is.

Greenberg squealed. Now, both of you, DUNG.

Refrain just for fun: (yippie-ye-yo)
