A Ship of Fools is adrift.

The crew is filling the sails with lies, ignorance, and innuendo fueled by religiosity, ignorance, racism, resentment, mysogny, homophobia, hate speech, class discrimination, ethnicity, fear, distrust of government, disparagement of anyone and everyone not like them, and not the least, unbridled political ambition funded by billionaires. No person, no institution, is safe from their depredations, not even the sitting president.

Fear of truth also fuels this taxonomy of disfunction, deception, and destruction. To wit:

The Ship’s Crew at Work

1) A Texas Republican Representative claims wind is a “finite” resource and using it to spin power generating windmills slows the winds, down causing temperatures to go up.

2) The Republican governor of Florida has prohibited state officials and employees from using the term “Global Warming."

3) A recent poll shows 57 percent of Republican primary voters support Christianity as the national religion, clearly advocating, as does ISIL, religious government in a country founded on religious freedom. It should be noted that, in this same demographic, 66 percent do not believe in global warming and 49 percent do not believe in evolution.

4) In the U.S. Congress, 47 members, led by Republican Representative Tom Cotton, wrote to the government of Iran to warn them away from signing a nuclear nonproliferation agreement with the United States and other countries.

5) The father of U.S. Representative Ted Cruz is quoted in the national media as claiming that LGBT rights will lead to football teams showering with girls.

6) Rudy Giuliani contributed: “I do not believe that the president loves America.”
