Huckabee is a brainwashed brainwasher.

It's a pretty awful national establishment that gives anyone like him a position of influence or even just a soapbox.

As for men, violence and war--sure, Caitlin, you got that covered. But plenty of awful women are out there too who have done or promote awful things in positions of power. Pointing at you, Hillary, Albright, Condoleeza. Call it Stockholm Syndrome, if we must.

The problem with the term “brainwashed” is that “washing” implies some sort of attempted progress towards cleanliness. At least Lady Macbeth attempted to clean the blood from her hands. We don’t see anything of the sort from Huckabee or other proponents of aggression here.

It's claiming cleanliness next to godliness when what's going on is opposite, no?

Hucksterbee is an Evangelical hypocrite charlatan posing as a Southern Baptist minister, doing the work of The Evil One who goes by many names.

He is the father of Sara, the professional liar who was Trump’s Press Suckretary in 2017.

Thanks for reminding us about a very few of the evil bloodthirsty women of the American Empire. There are many more vile females, including Kamala Harris, who have served the Capitalists’ agenda. Whenever I hear that the world would be a better place if women were in charge, I always counter that such would depend upon which women were in the leadership positions.

No it wouldn't be a better place for women to be in charge. And in matri-focal societies women were not "in charge" they were consulted when people had conflicts they couldn't deal with themselves. Nobody has to be "in charge". Being in charge is a totally patriarchal concept. I'm all for no one in charge but everyone has equal say. If you want to know how that could be done, you can read about it here, the Egalitarian Proposal System. Let's get onto it folks. Let's start talking about building new systems that make the terrain unfavorable for psychopaths. https://deniseward.substack.com/p/the-egalitarian-proposal-system

The patriarchal system is supported by mothers who raise their children to believe in it. It is also supported by patriarchal religions that do not respect women.

denise ward's avatar

Yes the mothers had to believe in it to survive or they would have been kicked out onto the streets by their fathers or husbands. Women were not "allowed" voice at all, nor an education. What is it about men that wants to do that to others? What is it about men that makes them feel stronger when they have weapons? Surely someone could have a bigger dick, oops I mean weapon than you? It's bound to happen. Men go head to head in war, it's utterly ridiculous. Utterly. Yet this is what most people accept as normal. The biggest problem of humanity is that individuals do not care about others' suffering. We've forgotten empathy. Religions as you say are totally male-devised. So is the constitution, the Magna Carta, just about all the scriptures. They probably did away with anything women wrote.

Sure: women carry it as well.

Huckabee is not concerned for a single second about murdering innocent people on a large scale. All he cares about is that we do not condemn the murderers or, worse, stop the ongoing carnage.

Who is evil?

“love thy neighbor “, nothing Christian about Hucklebee. “ whatever is hateful to you do not do to your neighbor. That is the Whole Torah” Hillel the Elder. Israel doesn’t follow or honor the Torah. Be gone with you!

Are there really people stupid enough to buy his bullshit?

Apparently..or should I say unfortunately there are.

That’s sad AND frightening as fk!

This is the kind of people leading the government.

Why Constitutional laws are developed, and a civilization develops a judicial system. To protect a society from these "kinds of people". But when no one respects or follows a Constitution or civilized laws anymore - then your so-called "free society" starts going down the drain quick.

"SNL is such disgusting empire smut."

It really is--and it's not even funny like the original series with Belushi, Aykroyd, Murray, Curtain, Newman, Morris, etc. So sad how the mainstream media's propaganda machine ruins EVERYTHING including entertainment programs. Oh well, it makes it that much easier to boycott them. #FreePalestine

Fact is those who love and promote war against Iran and other innocent humans in the Mid East are of the Synagogue of Satan. "Beware of those who say they are Jews and are Not ,but are of the Synagogue of Satan.

(Winston CHURCHILL::

I do not apologize for take over of the region by the Jews from the Palestinians,

in the same way I don't apologize for the Whites taking over America from the Red Indians,

or the takeover of Australia from the Blacks. Its natural for a superior race to Dominate and Inferior one.

You may call a knife a surgeon's scalpel, but if you kill a patient who wasn't ill in the first place, that is murder. Who was more ill?

Huckabee is NOT a CHRISTIAN!

He is a card-carrying SATANIST, as are ALL 'Evangelicals'!!

And just a reminder....his daughter is the Governor of Arkansas (aka 'Clinton Country'; Bill Clinton.....the bastard child of a Rockefeller)

jamenta's avatar

What do these cards look like? I'd be interested in having one. Just for kicks.

DawnieR's avatar

Apparently, you are clueless as to what a 'figure of speech' is.

Which makes you look stupid!

American men of my generation started playing war games of various physical and psychological forms quite early in their lives. It was the WWII hangover, and it drove a lot of the warmongering sickness of my generation because too many never grew up.

Carolyn Zaremba's avatar

This is why I despise Christianity. It causes brain rot and we wind up in the 21st century dealing with people who think like people from the 12th century. Ignorant people. Superstitious people. Irrational people. Huckabee is a monster to atheists like me. A Huckster for a non-existent deity.

An estimated 75 million were murdered or died from disease and famine in the last two world wars. Both world wars were based on Secular beliefs. The Nazis belief system could be traced back to Social Darwinism, and the concept that only the fittest deserve to survive by natural laws.

I don't believe "atheists" have a corner on ethical goodness, by any stretch of the imagination. Nor do they have a corner on the still open question regarding the Existential nature of our Being.

The nazi soldiers had "Gott mit uns" (God with us) on their belt buckles: The Catholic Church in Germany celebrated Hitler's birthday!

All sides had some clergy type bless bombers and their bombs!

Religion poisons everything!

jamenta's avatar

Yes but the wars were not religious wars. Neither one was based on religion. Both were secular in nature - mostly about territorial expansion and resource extraction.

Stalin was famously atheist, and led a brutal campaign against religion. He purged churches, synagogues and mosques wherever he could. About 15 million people died in Stalin's Gulags.

Mao Zedong was also atheist, and sought to eradicate religion in China. He murdered around 5 million Chinese between 1950 and 1952. And another 6 million in his "reform through Labour" camps (1958-1962).

Pietro Wislon's avatar

What about the millions killed by successive US Presidents since WW2, who are presumably believing Christians?

Please do not blame Christianity for Huckabee. You can blame Christianity for not excuminicating Huckabee.

Huckabee is a clownish ignoramus who's the first person in his family to graduate from HIGH SCHOOL. But Caitlin, male violence is not a cultural phenomenon, or else chimps would not be violent or go to war. And they do. Getting men to kill each other does not take much effort--alas, it's genetic. We might be able to tamp it down with culture, but that'll never happen as long as war enriches strongmen. Chimps have those, too.

Carolyn Zaremba's avatar

Some of us have evolved more than others. Some people will never improve. They are genetic anachronisms.

I've been told I'm a genetic anachronism. I'm trying my best to become normal.

Regarding war: "IDF" females are just as men, just as cruel and monsters by starving, freezing, beating, killing, raping (with batons, dogs, etc.) with Palestinian women, children, and men. Sorry, you're wrong.
