Honest to fuck, I truly wish not to be a blowhard or pompous, sanctimonious asshole.  I wish not to be a Bible thumping asshole, with equal conviction  "Why bring it up, then, asshole," I would forgive you for asking right now.    Why now?    Why that stuff?  There's  this quote from the Bible that has been doing what slogans and platitudes are hoped to do.   It's is a quotation from the Bible that shoved a hot pepper up my ass, forever.   "How terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise."

It's a teasing sentiment.   It could mean, "it sucks being you."   Or, there is no hope for the future because stupid, greedy, lazy, recalcitrant people pissed the future away.   Some assholes are aware that there may be a direct relationship, both directions, better or worse, between common ethics and the quality of life.  Theists are known to see a direct correlation between sin and poverty. or between morals and prosperity, especially in the long term.  This is one of many minnows swimming in aquatic conservative thought.   

I grew up among thinking, free market  intellectuals.  This beefaroonie right here has to do with the way grass roots politics doomed itself with  excess hostility and contention.   Submission to trending mass stupidity, also.   Failure to resolve.   Failure to keep the peace.  When Trump was president, Dems were determined to get his fat ass out of office  by any means possible, honest or no.  Groovy.   Now, at grassroots level, voters have nothing left to work with.   Easy to destroy, hard to rebuild.  It's another basis for conservative thought.  Dems should have sought common ground with GOP voters and should have kept the subject of basic rights alive.  As it all went down, Dems got Trump out of office, and lost reproductive freedoms to the asshole currently anti-abortion Supreme Court.  How terrible is wisdom, knowing the voting public is too short sighted and shitty, too dishonest, too, to sustain both ethics and and civil rights.    

In the 1960s liberal intellectuals were rigorous thinkers.  Not fucking lately.  Back then people applied free market economics to the task of advancing human rights.   The small business owner can form political action committees.  To help.  To give back.   To establish charity and education.   With money earned in business and industry.    "Back in the day,"  the United States was in a vicious cycle of success.  So advanced of the political left to put an end to it all.   Thanks, assholes.
