Today's signs that the Apocalypse is upon us: Stupid, hateful, and intolerant is no way to go through life, son

Sometimes, when I feel myself despairing for the future of humanity, I get off the Internet. Let’s face it; the Internet is probably not where you want to go to have your faith in humanity restored- and today’s all stars will do nothing to make you better about the prospects of the human race. In fact, by the time you make it to the end of this, you could be forgiven for being convinced that people really, really suck.

Steeped as we are in hatred, exclusion, and intolerance, I have to (for the sake of my own sanity) believe that there’s still hope for us. I don’t know what we could reasonably hope for, but I’ve got to think that there are positive qualities (love, acceptance, tolerance, and inclusion would be a good start) that might eventually triumph over the forces of Darkness and Evil. We can hope…but you’ll have to understand why I’m not holding my breath on this count.

Perhaps someday we’ll figure out we’re far better off together, and that love requires far less energy and effort than hatred. Of course, perhaps someday the NFL will blow up the Green Bay Packers and sell them off for parts. A boy can dream…right??

You’ve been a great audience! Enjoy Culture Club!!

How Anti-Abortion Activists Uncover Details About Women’s Personal Medical Procedures: If you have to dig around in the trash in order to get information on a woman’s private medical care, you’re not an activist. You’re a sociopath.

NRA radio host: Calling for new gun laws after Virginia shooting is ‘gross’ and ‘shows a lack of humanity’: IT’S TOO SOON!!! Besides, as ANY red-blooded White Christian patriot will tell you, MOR GUNZ!!! can only mean more safety…and and armed society is a scared sh-tless polite society.

Denver Lawmaker Posts Screenshots Of Racist Threatening Hate Mail After Criticizing Chick-Fil-A: Sometimes it’s not even necessary to embellish the Stupid with commentary. Sometimes the Stupid speaks for itself.

Kentucky Clerk Says He May Die Fighting Gay Marriage: We can only hope.

Catholic School Officially Changes Policy After Fired Lesbian Rejects Hush Money, Goes Public: How sad is it when an institution that sees spreading the love of Jesus Christ as part of its mission is exposed as just another place where hatred and homophobia rule?

Report Exposes Koch Brothers’ Role In Hindering Recovery Post-Katrina: Who cares about evil when there’s money to be made?

Topless Woman Confronts GOP Official With Mastectomy Scar to Protest Defunding of Planned Parenthood: Shouldn’t someone tell her that women are property, and that men are the only ones with the right to makes decisions regarding their bodies and reproductive health?

Alveda King: Planned Parenthood Gives Women Breast Cancer So They Will Donate To Susan G. Komen: King seems like a walking, talking advertisement for the need for regular doses of Thorazine.

Bimbo Bakeries Recalls Thousands Of Bread Loaves Over Glass Shards: Well, that would certainly explain the blood in my grilled cheese sandwich.

Zimmerman brags about killing Trayvon Martin: ‘We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me’: Better to be thought a scumbag than to be George Zimmerman. Stay classy, eh?

Rafael Cruz: ‘The Devil Overplayed His Hand’ With SCOTUS Gay Marriage Decision: Cruz- and his hate-addled, homophobic to the point of being deeply in the closet son- truly represent everything wrong with America today. They spread hatred of the Other as they line their pockets and feed their sizable egos. Calling them hypocrites seems horribly inadequate to the task.

Rand Paul’s Patronizing, Self-Parodying Response To Black Lives Matter: Sorry, but having been to Howard University doesn’t make one an authority on the challenges faced by African-Americans.

Anti-LGBT activist who was ditched for another woman wants $25,000 to promote ‘pastor protection law’: Sounds like someone has some SERIOUS issues to work out…mostly with himself.

As Trump Circus Continues, Ted Cruz Is Quietly Mobilizing Christian Right Fanatics: So much for Christian charity, tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion…all things Jesus Christ actually taught.

Bill O’Reilly blames rise of ‘nihilism’ and ‘secular-progressive’ attitudes for Virginia journalists’ deaths: How hard is it to accept that a mentally ill person with a gun committed murder, filmed it, and posted it on Facebook? Neither nihilism or secular-progressive values had a thing to do with this tragedy…not that O’Reilly could define either term or how they might be responsible for this senseless murder.

Media Attacks Jorge Ramos For Asking Trump Real Questions About Immigration: If one reporter starts acting all journalistic, before long people will be expecting ALL reporters to do their job instead of parroting press releases sent out by the candidates they’re covering.
