If I could summarize nonviolence in one word, it would be: patience.

Cleese is, of course, exactly correct. If "Christian" alt/righties need a refresher on the Beatitudes, they can open a random Bible to Matthew 5:3-10. “Chinese hoax” is a reference to Trump’s campaign claim that global climate change is a hoax perpetrated by China in order to cripple U.S. business growth.





I'm beginning to think that in America, a Conservative Christian is one who thinks the Beatitudes are a Chinese hoax

This was written by Mother Teresa during a turbulent period of her life and times.

"There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering and too much pain. Then suddenly the sprit will emerge through ordinary people that hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways."

“It is useless to discuss the peace of the world. What is necessary just now is to create peace in ourselves that we, ourselves, become examples of love, harmony and peace. That is the only way of saving the world and ourselves.” ~Hazrat Inayat Kahn

“To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.” – Charles Krauthammer

Law professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit often refers to the American press as Democrat operatives with bylines. (If Trump Cures Cancer, The Media Will Complain About Overpopulation):

Obviously Professor Reynolds has no idea what he is talking about. There are conservative websites: Fox, Breitbart, and Infowars. The last two are on the far right lunatic fringe. I usually go to Fox every day just so I can see what the almost sane conservative view is today. Their twisted words to support Trump is so pathetic.

Trump is definitely evil. But he is not conservative. He only cares about himself and how much money he can make being president. And he wants to tear down everything Obama did because he is such a racist.
