Hegseth is a pure bigot who rehearses whole night in front of mirror only to deliver his cringy speech in press conference.

Is chatgbt the more bigoted version of ChatGPT? I mean it would make sense.

Just a reminder: A hyper-religious government operating on violent and destructive whims driven not by the law but by an idea of some holy christian crusade: Good. A hyper-religious government operating on violent and destructive whims driven not by the law but by an idea of some holy islamic crusade: Bad.

No, he’s just saying the quiet part out loud. These are resource extraction wars that the media frames as necessary holy wars. We always knew that, but the population has finally become dumbed down enough that they don’t even need the consent to be manufactured all that much.

This dude is the biggest re*ard I have ever seen... The fact that he is in charge of our military should be f****** terrifying to anyone with half a brain.

That's very unfair. I've known mentally challenged people and they typically have empathy and care about others. Kegsbreath doesn't.

My dad died at 94 three years ago. He once said (mid 80's after uncle H left after a visit) "the only thing worse than a dry for now drunk is a 'born again' religious zealot". I didnt really get it at the time. I do now.

It has nothing to do with Christianity. Hegseth uses religion to try to push his weirdo manosphere war mongering. It’s weird. He should be at the front of the line since he’s so hot for it. Do not normalize the creepiness.

"Combative Christianity" is just another name for Christian sharia law.

77 million Americans voted to inject combative Christianity into America's government. That is one of the many aspects of it.

Fake news there is no such thing as combative Christianity. He’s a f****** racist bigot just like all the other magas.

Christianity is a violent ideology. Have you even read the bible? Racism and bigotry are par for the course when they're basically enshrined in your holy scriptures.

They are certainly not MY holy scriptures.

I want to know ulterior motives behind the nazism and Christianity making obvious and blatant pushes throughout this administration. Truly, what are the reasons for it and why the overt stances.

Vast majority of the US electorate clearly wants a Handmaid’s Tale-style future - this sort of stuff is right up their alley. Aligns fully with the country’s Puritanical roots. Plus, zero pushback from the military over a clear attempted insurrection and Feds murdering US citizens.

"combative Christianity" is not a thing. It's impossible. They're just engaged in combat and wickedness.

There's a reason I call my congresspeople every week pushing for the death penalty. Unfortunately, none seem interested. Schumer and Gillibrand won't get out of bed unless they can kill brown Muslims, while Malliotakis chugs her traitorade all day every day.

99% of the population is. They are mass murderering corporate bootlickers prioritizing the interests of a genocidal hostile terrorist state over American interests. Have you heard the insanely bigoted/racist things Grand Dragon Gillibrand keeps spewing? She slew Al Franken, but then fell into line for Andrew F****** Cuomo. She called Mamdani a "global jihadist" and her defense boiled down to "it's just what I heard at my last cross burning." Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer is likely one of the worst traitors in American history and he won't stop bragging about it in public. And Malliotakis, Jesus f****** Christ. It's like she's trying to actively remind us that Republicans are still worse than high-profile traitor-to-America Dems.

You want the government to murder people. You have no standing to call anyone a bad person.

I think if someone goes on a blatant murder rampage and is responsible for the deaths of countless people better than they are, they need to be afraid of consequences. I'm not saying he has to fry--that should be up to a judge. But these people think they have some god-given right to steal our taxpayer money and use it to satisfy their murderhobo f*****. They've been doing it for *decades* straight with absolutely no compunction. Clearly, they have absolutely 0 fear of consequences even as they're actively serial killering their way across the world on our dime. I think an example has to be sent so they remember they bleed red, just like their victims and just like the taxpayer they're stealing from/letting die to fund their glorified Klan lynching kink. Enough of this madness.

...so there's this country called America that's gone completely rogue, letting its own people die on the streets to pursue an agenda of murdering hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children, bombing Iranian school children, and murdering innocent fisherman. Plus some homegrown incidents like Alex Pretti. If you think talking major consequences for this is somehow pushing the line, I don't think you know where we are right now. And again, I'm not saying they all have to sizzle on the chair. But clearly, the existing punishment structure isn't deterring these people in the slightest. I bet if Rumsfeld were looking at decades in prison and his lawyer were a little nervous about death row, then none of this would happen. Your average health insurance exec at this point has likely murdered more Americans than Bin Laden did. But they get rewarded for what they do, so why should they stop? Any penalties are paid by the individual, not the company. Mangione was responsible for more immediate consumer friendly policy shifts than decades of failed politics.  The system doesn't work unless bad actors have at least a little fear that the punishment for some of the worst crimes in human history will be greater than their payoff.

I doubt this man even reads his Bible. In the Bible, we are called to be peacemakers, to love thy neighbor, to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.

Christianity is a timeshare scam for a non-existent thing they call a "soul" in a non-existent place they call "heaven".  Greatest hoax humans ever pulled off on themselves.

Would be really cool to see more corporal works of mercy Christians as opposed to whatever Hegsteth is. Also It tickles me to hear all this crusade talk even though that was predominantly Catholics,. Evangelicals hate Catholics more than they hate the gays.

"if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword" Jesus to Peter when Peter started attacking the guards who held Him. Life is the most precious thing to our Living God and to take it in His name is demonic.

Have you seen what Hegseth is actually saying? About righteous violence? About the ungodly whose time of punishment has come? About the enemy who deserves no mercy? About the American task force justly and without remorse delivering the evil's wicked souls to eternal hellfire, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen? Does that terrify you? Does it sound like Al-Qaeda and ISIS a hundred times more than it sounds like the military of the United States? If yes, then you see why it was a good idea to keep government and religion separate. If not - and you probably won't, this is an Internet argument and you're besides probably here to make some noise for your team, not to have a conversation - I'm at a loss for words. That's why I'll borrow some from one Robert Arnold. >"Once war is wrapped in sacred language it stops looking like tragedy, it starts looking like destiny. The bombs begin to feel less like failure and more like fulfillment. The deaths of strangers begin to feel less like horror and more like the necessary chapters in a cosmic script. >\[...\] The danger is fatalism. The quiet belief that if the catastrophe arrives, it must have been meant to arrive. The slow erosion of restraint that follows when men begin to see themselves, not as stewards of life, but as instruments of some imagined mythological unfolding. Once war is sanctified, prudence becomes weakness and doubt becomes betrayal. Diplomacy becomes compromise with evil. Every opponent becomes not merely wrong, but wicked. And wicked enemies in the enemies of the self-righteous deserve no mercy."

The original motto of the USA was: E pluribus unum Which translates to "Out of many, one" or "One out of many" Pity you yanks decided to choose something else later. Your latest motto isn't even 70 years old yet. edited: additional information.
