Back to the gun insanity. Yesterday Kadizzle stopped to chat with a new friend. The man is close to 80 and was a state trooper for 30 years in Montana. Kadizzle asked the man the same question he asked the Police Chief in Hazen, North Dakota. In your law enforcement career how many times did you take your gun out of the holster to confront someone. The police chief in Hazen served for 25 years. In both cases the men told me two times. Now think about this. Both these men were in jobs where one would think guns would be involved, but they were not. If two men in rural America, which by the way is where most of the gun nuts are, don't really need guns, then why do the gun crazy people think they are in danger. Theoretically if anyone was going to use or need a gun it would be a police officer. However, even police officers rarely are in a situation where guns are required. On the other hand here in Arizona mental cases think you need to carry a gun to the grocery store. The other day Kadizzle was in the Safeway store and there was a gunslinger checking out. What violence was he expecting in the grocery store? It could be an out of control liberal.
Story two. Last evening Kadizzle rode the bike down to the park. Under the tree were two fundies, Jehovah's Witnesses. This time it was two men. Kadizzle cannot resist toying with the strange logic of the religious. Kadizzle basically preached to the two men that their real mission should be protecting us from Trump. They strangely seemed to agree. My point was when Trump establishes his dictatorship there will be just one state religion, and the Witnesses will not be among them. The fundies realized Hitler tried to wipe them out, and went on to point out how Putin had them on the run in Russia.
Look back in history and review how authoritarian government always support just one church. Think about it. The fundies are bringing on a situation that will be there own demise. Everyone knows how religion works. It always becomes splintered and ends up in a war. Once our country is dominated by dictators like Trump they will side with the church that gives them the most support. We have already seen Trump playing the religious. Any church that turns on Trump will be attacked by him. Any church that goes along will be supporting him and the Republicans. The Catholic church has already been a big promoter of the Republican agenda. The Catholic church long ago figured how to weasel into politics. History is replete with the Catholic Church using the power of the state to carry out it's game. When South America was decimated it was two parties that did it, the church and the state. History does repeat itself.
