A subtle nod to normalcy

[Satchel 6912]

Chip Roy and Louie Gohmert are among the 21 (all Republicans) who voted against the bill:

The House passed a bill Tuesday to award Congressional Gold Medals to honor the Capitol Police officers and others who protected the U.S. Capitol during a pro-Trump riot Jan. 6 by a vote of 406-21.

"The desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American Democracy, and the violence targeting Congress are horrors that will forever stain our Nation's history," the legislation says.

The bill would provide for four gold medals in honor of the first responders — one for the Capitol Police, one for the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police, one for the Smithsonian Institution and one for the Architect of the Capitol.

The 21 "no" votes came from Republicans, including Andrew Clyde of Georgia, who downplayed the violence during a hearing last month.

My favorite memory of visiting Colorado was breaking down in Durango and while my car was being repaired,  found a watering hole. Ended up at "Irish Bar" (pretty sure that was the name of the generic bar there at the time) because a couple guys out front who were smoking and invited me in to take shots because one of them was celebrating their 21st. So i reluctantly went in and ended up staying a while. It was a super generic bar with no hint of anything Irish. The bartender that day was the definition of butter face. Supremely hot body sporting a catholic school girl outfit. But once you panned past the collar you saw a face that would make Rockie Dennis cock his head. But i digress. I happened to cop a squat next to a miner or lumberjack or some other manual mongoloid and my memory is that Stars were playing the Avs at the time but nonetheless he pegged me as a Stars fan and proceeded to belittle me and my team for 10 minutes. He then declared he could drink me under the table because i was a Texas pussy and thus proceeded to buy us both shots and beers. We did this for the duration of the game, me keeping up with whatever he threw in front of me. Eventually the game ended and I think the avs lost. I say think because at this point I'm smashed. I'm fucking lit as Chernobyl. But i didn't crack. I didn't give him the satisfaction. He eventually stormed out after paying the tab and finished with a gay slur. I can't say i had a great night after that, but car got fixed the next day and continued on my way. 

Moral of the story: fuck the Avs and bigots

I'm absolutely shocked, but the Southern Baptists stopped from going hard right, driving off of a cliff, and causing thousands of member churches to bail on the organization.

https://apnews.com/article/southern-baptist-convention-election-2382914265734c595378131aa279003c

Quote

The Southern Baptist Convention tamped down a push from the right at its largest meeting in decades on Tuesday, electing a new president who has worked to bridge racial divides in the church and defeating an effort to make an issue of critical race theory.

Quote

Ed Litton, a pastor from Alabama, won 52% of the vote in a runoff against Mike Stone, a Georgia pastor backed by a new group called the Conservative Baptist Network that has sought to move the already-conservative denomination further right. 

Quote

Litton, who is white, was nominated by Fred Luter, the only Black pastor to serve as president of the United States’ largest Protest denomination. Luter praised Litton’s commitment to racial reconciliation and said he has dealt compassionately with the issue of sexual abuse within SBC churches, another hot-button subject at the gathering of more than 15,000 church representatives. 

Quote

Stone had campaigned aggressively, including speaking at churches across the country. And the Conservative Baptist Network had encouraged supporters to come to the meeting as voting delegates. 

But in the end, the message that seemed to resonate with voters was that Stone — who supported a motion to repudiate critical race theory, an academic construct for framing systemic racism that has been a target of religious and political conservatives — was a divisive choice. 

Quote

“We’re a family, and at times it seems like an incredibly dysfunctional family.” Litton said after the results were announced. “But we love each other.”

Delegates rejected a proposal that would have explicitly denounced critical race theory. Instead they approved a consensus measure that does not mention it by name but rejects any view that sees racism as rooted in “anything other than sin.”

^^^That doesn't really surprise me. This has been an ongoing battle since at least the 1980s where "the Church" has been trying to keep the complete and utter crazies from taking over, and the situation is getting increasingly dire as attendance has plummeted due its already strict ideas. Almost every time I see my mom, she's complaining about the loss of congregants at her First Baptist Church to other non-denominational options in her small West Texas town. People are voting with their feet to get away from some of the traditional, stringent teachings and it's cutting into their tithings profits.

Yeah, almost a quarter of the churches in the SBC are non-white.  If they (and sympathetic majority-white churches) bailed, they might be the second or third largest such Protestant organization in the US (depending on the Lutherans) behind the SBC.  It would really hurt the SBC, particularly since it would kill their minority outreach, and would probably turn off many younger members, and then it's dead man walking.

It's been interesting - the Trumpy group within the SBC really tried to swing things hard right and shut down talk of race and sexual abuse, and they were violating some long-established norms (Mike Stone was campaigning for himself all over the place, etc.).

Be interesting to see if people like Beth Moore come back.

[Guest Lobo]

Yeah, I think the game of bribing/blackmailing/bundling got too expensive and too dangerous for Russia and its allies.  

They figured out something much cheaper, much less illegal, and much more effective---they made Stupid People feel politically engaged.  

I've waded through one "inclusivity" brainstorming session after another for 15 years---how do we get more Hispanics involved, how we get more Asians involved, how do we get more young people involved, how do we get more libertarians involved, etc., etc., etc.  Hundreds of millions of dollars in outreach efforts wasted.  No policy shifts, no bold innovation, no rethinking the platform, none of that. 

All it took was finding about 25 million Americans who weren't registered Republicans and very rarely voted, the politically marginalized so to speak.  Feed them some lies, stir up some fear, and get them out to vote to for a cult-like personality.  And honestly, the GOP even fucked that part up.  They had to get some "outside" help.

For the first time in our history, America could be invaded. We benefited from relative geographical isolation that allowed us to grow to the super power we are with limited checks from adversaries. With the internet, we created multiple entry points into our society that have left us vulnerable. Russia (and others) finally figured out ways to weaken us by using our own ignorance and perceived exceptionalism against us.
