In reply to the discussion: Ted Lieu: "Dear Bill Barr, Do your job instead of being a full on conspiracy theorist." [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(48,936 posts)6. Barr gave speech day/2 ago claiming less christianism cause of mental illness & drug abuse
Barr said that secular militants, including so-called progressives, are mobilized in an organized destruction of religion. He vowed that his Justice Department will fight for the most cherished of all our American liberties: the freedom to live according to our faith.
Because of the decreasing influence of Judeo-Christian traditions, Barr insisted, along with the wreckage of the family, we are seeing record levels of depression and mental illness, dispirited young people, soaring suicide rates, increasing numbers of angry and alienated young males, an increase in senseless violence and a deadly drug epidemic.
(Violent crime has decreased significantly over the past quarter century, according to statistics collected by the federal government.)

The deadly drug epidemic was caused by Republicon-enabled greedy Big Pharma.
Soaring suicide rates are due to intolerable stress put on employees by Republicon-enabled greedy companies: part-time only jobs just under the 30 hour bar, no benefits, wages squeezed, tips taken, and so many tactics.
Young people are dispirited because of Republicon-enabled climate inaction.
The increasing number of angry young males is due to Republicon-oriented talk radio, social media bots, and Faux news.

Promoting a specific theocracy is not in the AG job description, Mr. Fixer.
