The right don't like Dolly because she turned down the Presidential Medal twice from Trump. The MAGAs took it personally even though Dolly said that the first time it was because her husband was ill and the second time was during lockdown and she didn't want to travel. They also don't like her because she gives free books to children, and that probably smells like communism to them.
Being told that greed is the only way, that people need to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps", that if someone isn't as white as you they are automatically inferior, and if they don't perform the same rituals to their imaginary sky daddy as you do that they deserve to suffer.
If you are on the opposite side of soemthing than Dolly....you KNOW you fk'd up. Shes up there with bob ross & mr rogers in being an actual caring person.
The Federalist needs to keep her name out of their whore mouth. Dolly is the purest manifestation of love to be found. No wonder they hate what she advocates.
Oh god, not those fuckers. "We're magical werewolves who don't use the warp for our power and don't listen to the codex, but no one can bother us ~UwU~"
"With the arsenal that He had entrusted to their keeping, the Dark Angels had at their disposal the firepower to usher in a new Old Night should they, or He, so desire it. [...] For where Russ was a warning, the Lion was a solution. The final solution.
He was the Emperor’s exterminator. [...] When the First Legion turned their guns upon a foe it was to annihilate without trace, to obliterate beyond all hope of record."
Why do I figure that this horseshit even pisses off khorne so beating the fuck out of these asshats is something traitors and loyalists can agree on. Like shit kicking filthy xenos
It's always convenient that they point out that gay people have sin, but according to their own religion all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And then there's the whole don't cast stones if you sin, but I'm an atheist, why should I understand their bible more than them?
It's just another example of a very tired conservative trope. They always try to convince people that love isn't loving, kindness isn't kind, and acceptance is evil. Meanwhile hate is actually love, meanness is actually kindness, and rejection is a display of christ's love. To be honest, modern Christian conservative doctrine is the best argument around for the existence of Satan, as they are exactly what I would imagine Satan would want them to be if he were real.
Everyone should be treated with love and kindness except for the people we don't like, how hard is that to understand? Surely you remember that important caveat which Jesus included in the "goodwill to all men" thing?
But aparently he went out of his way to basically include in his messages examples of nearly every hated group as people to love, prostitutes, lepers, Roman’s, tax Collectors. Zealots and Samaritan’s. It’s almost like the guy went out of his way to tell people love the neighbor was all inclusive and that he absolutely didn’t stutter on that one.
No wonder the executed him he told people they could no longer use religion as an excuse to be assholes… everybody disliked that
The statement isn't contradictory by itself, it's actually the core of the christian doctrine. But since such statement come from homophobis assholes yes, you're still right
Was it not Christ who said who is without sin cast the first stone and when asked of the greatest commandment he said to love got above all else even one’s self and to love one’s neighbor as if they were one’s self. Seems like the federalists need to get right with Jesus and Dolly’s a couple steps ahead of the average Christian curve. Knew There was a reason that her gospel Albums didn’t Reek of the usual hypocrisy of the church
I am absolutely not going to look up the Federalists website and I am 100% confident that whatever it is will be total bullshit - but what on earth did Dolly do?
Most likely yeah. She's always done that though so I was wondering if there was something specific she'd done recently. I did just find out that she's making a Broadway musical about her life which could be it. Or not. Honestly, even though I asked I don't fucking care. What I do care about though is that DOLLY PARTON IS MAKING A BROADWAY MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont try to make sense of it, they aren't listening. They don't actually care what jesus said, or what the bible commands, its just an excuse they can use to be hateful.
I made the mistake of reading part of the Federalist's article, and they actually address that, though to me their argument sounds an awful lot like "that doesn't count because reasons".
Why not? Political Christians ignore virtually everything in the Bible already. To Political Christians, Jesus is no more their leader than Ronald the clown is the leader of McDonalds. Jesus is a mascot. Jesus is marketing. Jesus is not actually important. All that matters is the money to buy power, and the power to make money.
Reminds of the pastor we heard about a while back whose parishioners started complaining about all the woke crap he was preaching, when he was just preaching what Jesus had said.
Idk I grew in Perú and I grew up with Nine to Five, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Dolly... like her music didn't get as much exposure but her movies were known.
She lost in a Dolly Parton drag contest despite being Dolly Parton and congratulated the winner happily. Almost certain she only joined to boost that person's self-esteem.
Considering that the message against her also targets mostly US-inhabitants, that phrasing ("the worlds") is incorrect, but it doesn't really matter in this case.
She could likely be a billionaire, but she gives too much to 'achieve' that status. She started a theme park so the people 'back home' would have jobs. All those good causes, plus writing and singing great songs like I Will Always Love You. She's on a level with Mr Rogers and Bob Ross.
Wiki: ”During the COVID-19 pandemic, The Federalist published many pieces that contained false information, pseudoscience, and contradictions or misrepresentations of the recommendations of public health authorities. While ballots were being counted in the 2020 United States presidential election, The Federalist made false claims that there had been large-scale election fraud.”
Remember Samuel Alito is pretty tight with them. That whole flag flying thing is not just on his wife. But he did throw her under the bus like a true political opportunist would.
Not only Alito: Thomas, Roberts, Gorsuch, Drunky McRaperson, and Judge Handmaid are all members of the cult, which incidentally was started in 1982 by a klavern of Reaganjugend nepobabies, ostensibly as a "textualist" and "libertarian" organisation. As always, soi-disant libertarians are more than willing to abandon their non-interference principles and join forces with Jeezemoids if it buys them an ounce more influence.
