Editor,

One of the main lessons we should have learned from World War II is that propaganda works.

Let me be perfectly clear: I prefer the truth, and I do not like lies, of which religion is the worst lie of all!

There are no gods, no hell, no heaven! OK?

To all you god-fearing: Why are we still so preoccupied with a made-up, non-existing, fantasy figure like God, when we have rejected all the 12-18000 similar ones invented throughout human history?

Jorg - it is "Live and let Live", why do you care that folks want to be religious? Does it hurt you? You seem content with being agnostic so leave the rest who desire any form of religion or a belief alone. They are not trying to convert you either and are not likely waiting for words of wisdom from your corner. Let it be!

And let’s not forget that the belt buckles on the German soldiers read “Got mit Uns”, which means “God is with US”, implying that this imaginary character they used does not support anyone else, but themselves when they ravaged from country to country.

And let's not forget that religion brought us art, music, the written word, education, architecture and time pieces.

In addition to wars, discrimination against women, and a political party that thrives on religious lies!

Ah yes, the natives never had a war among their tribes and the natives never treated women like dirt (and still do so). Balance it out Jorg, religion was more of a benefit to our civilization than a detriment!

Jorg, my friend, thanks for reminding us of the Democrat party. On wars, let’s not forget the Democrat party that is for extending the Hamas against Israel and the Ukraine against Russia wars. On discrimination against women, let’s not forget the Democrat party that is for allowing biological men to compete against biological women and to invade their safe spaces. On religious lies, let’s not forget the Democrat party that is for abortion, attempting to convince Catholics, Momorns, and other religions that abortion is acceptable.

As an aside, let’s also not forget religion is the basis of the Declaration of Independence and your treasonous presidents Obama and Biden were all in for God, too. Please do us all a favor and take some American history classes. Perhaps you can also educate yourself on the Second Amendment and the Electoral College. To borrow from FFGig (who we haven’t heard from in a while, I hope he's okay), “End of discussion. Next.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TY: I thought I had explained both the EC and the 2nd for you some time ago?

Terence Y Nov 5, 2025 8:34am

Jorg: You may have attempted to explain but like many of your unfounded assertions, you’ve been completely unsuccessful. Don’t let me stop you, please try again and I’ll determine whether you’re on the right track. Thank you for your attention to this matter. BTW, I recall you had issues with understanding the definitions of “assault weapon” or “insurrection” or “incendiary” or “credit” to name a few. Any progress there?

Jorg Nov 5, 2025 10:59am

TY: Let me assure you that I’m just happy to contribute to your happiness and give you something meaningful to live for, Missty!

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Thomas. Unfortunately, Democrats have pushed propaganda into gaslighting, in some cases with lousy branding. For instance, Democrats have attempted to convince us Black Lives Matter to the exclusion of everyone else. Democrats have attempted to convince us that biological men competing against biological women are considered fair. Of course, we have to ignore the discrimination against all women. Democrats have silly No Kings loitering parties (hello, we haven’t had kings for close to 250 years) who are now entertaining us with furry costumes and inflatable characters. Democrats attempt to shame us into accepting criminals and terrorists crossing our border instead of looking after the welfare of American citizens.

Fortunately for us, more and more folks are ignoring Democrat propaganda and gaslighting. Democrat mouthpieces are attempting to manufacture outrage and push non-common sense issues using potty mouth speeches in feeble attempts to achieve some sort of “street” cred (but it only achieves laughter). Their antics amplify their desperation. Sorry, Dems, your propaganda and gaslighting are no longer effective. New media sources inform us of what’s going on the real world. Are we not surprised that lately, more so than usual, the far-left Dems on this site have resorted to personal attacks because their gaslighting is so easily corrected?

That being said, your conclusion is great advice, “Think and vote as if your life and country depend on you to make a clear and informed decision ... because they surely do.” And which basically means, everyone should vote Republican to Make America Great Again, Again… Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yes, TY, - a WH occupant with such a limited intellect that he doesn’t even understand what a cognitive test does, and instead thinks it is an IQ test, running around bragging about having “aced” one by remembering 5 simple words and being able to pick out a common animal from a drawing of five. That’s someone worthy of the WH? How ignorant do voters have to be to support someone like that, a convicted rapist and cheater, who has never passed a test without a dad paying his way through, - although USC Film School for one, rejected his dad’s generous offer.

Jorg, you’re boring us with your throwaway comments. If we follow your train (more of a snail crawl) of thought, we can conclude that since Democrats are afraid to take cognitive tests – they’re not confident they can remember 5 simple words and being able to pick out a common animal from a drawing of five. Apparently our (yes, our) great President Trump continues to have proven qualifications head and shoulders above everyone else. And that’s why he’s the greatest President in your lifetime, twice.

And speaking of cognition, do you realize you submitted the same comment twice? I’m not confident you’re able to remember 5 simple words or be able to pick out a common animal from a drawing of five. Thank you for your attention to this matter and have a Trump-tastic day! BTW, why are you being so stingy with exclamation points on your responses to me? I miss them. Are we no longer friends?

Jay - "all of which are hallmarks of our current ruler(s)." Current and past? Where to draw the line? You fell into your own propaganda trap.

Jorg Nov 1, 2025 7:29am

Indeed, propaganda works, evidenced by how non-existent gods have been kept alive through the ages, with so many ignorant people still clinging to the last imaginary one!
