I might need a good #ancestor #theology to start practicing. I'm in the same boat as @hankgreen.bsky.social when it comes to current major theistic #religions. The #ProblemOfEvil seems insurmountable, let alone others.
& we see #BarryGoldwater was right about mixing religion & politics.
Stephen Miller = part Ashkenazi Jewish descent and part sewers-of-the-world descent , a full-blown nut-job who swings both ways: meaning he embraces male and female pattern baldness as identities. #BarryGoldwater #shapeshifter
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1964, #RonaldReagan's political career on the reactionary #FarRight began with a televised speech for #BarryGoldwater. The slow transformation of the #Republican Party into a home for racists and radical nationalists was under way.

#Republican / #Conservative #BarryGoldwater warning of #AbuseOfPower. Do you think the #PresidentTrump ( #DJT )has abused the #ExecutiveBranch?
“Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar.” #BarryGoldwater
“You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight.”
#BarryGoldwater
“Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.” 2/2
#BarryGoldwater
“Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. 1/2” #BarryGoldwater
“Equality as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.”

New on @Substack - "The Things You Find While Moving: Why the hell am I hanging onto this stuff?" Billy Carter beer, Joey Ramone action figure, postal killer hat, and much more crap I recently unpacked. #hoarding #moving #barrygoldwater #joeyramone #billycarter #goingpostal #czechsausage
![“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

It’s #BarryGoldwater abd #RonaldReagan and #NewtGingrich abd #MitchMcConnell dream. This has been #GOP policy for decades. Cut services, deregulate, privatize.
Like the racism, misogyny, homo/trans/xenophobia, anti-semitism, the only difference is now they aren’t trying to hide it.
#lawsuit #lawfare Having worked for #BarryGoldwater, Richard #Nixon and Ronald #Reagan, and once shared a college radio show with the radical libertarian #AynRand, Finkelstein had begun running a consultancy that specialised in working in post-communist states in eastern Europe. #USSR #lobbying
@joyannreid.bsky.social the same #BlueMAGA sellout who backed HRC over Bernie? - HRC rode Koch money into national politics. Walmart board member, #BarryGoldwater “democrat” friend to kkk grand wizard #StromThurmond & mass murderer Kissinger. Just keeping the black stamp on all that til now yeah?
1960s: #LBJ passes equaliz'g #CivilRightsBill for women-black folks; #BarryGoldwater counter-lures #Dixiecrats ovr to the #WhiteSupremacist Republican side. 1970s: #Nixon coaxes it into the #SouthernStrategy which in 1980s: #JerryFalwell molds into the #MoralMajority along w/ #MAGAGodfather #Reagan.
If UFO related materials existed in a “Blue Room” at Wright-Patterson, LeMay would have been one of the very few people with clearance to know about it.

Reagan’s legacy may be celebrated in GOP circles, but it’s clear that his decisions have had profound consequences for the party and the country.

This act of service remains a powerful example of how technology can be used to foster human connection and community.
You can see his original ham radio setup at the Arizona Heritage Center!

Barry Goldwater was a prominent political figure in Arizona, but did you know he was also a dedicated ham radio operator? During the Vietnam War, Goldwater used his ham radio to help soldiers overseas stay connected to their families back home. #Arizonahistory #barrygoldwater #hamradio
Actually, during the #BarryGoldwater era.
50 years ago #Republicans had some courage, among others, #BarryGoldwater went to the #WhiteHouse to tell #Nixon he MUST resign. I was a paperboy and kept a copy of the @washingtonpost ... now where are the #Democrats telling #Biden he MUST step aside.
Joe PLEASE save America🇺🇸 GO!
