    Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon said an ‘army of patriots’ and ‘shock troops’ should take over the government if Trump runs and wins in 2024 (yahoo.com)

    This may be one of the most alarming articles I’ve read lately. And what the article doesn’t mention, what are their plans if Trump loses? may be more frightening.

    So, over 2 years after I posted this, I got an e-mail today from a creationist, John Phillip, trolling me for my mistake about salinity (which Pope Beanie already corrected me on) and my apparent inability to take care of myself. Oh, and of course threatening me with “God’s Judgment.” Since I can’t find his reply here, I’m assuming he’s ok attacking me privately, but afraid of being ganged up by the evil atheists.  I’m going to respond to him and ask him if he’d like to support his position about evolution, but I’ll only continue the discussion here. My original post was public and all replies should be so as well.

    I hope you’re feeling a ton better.

    Yes I am, thank you. Once I was re-hydrated my blood pressure returned to normal and I felt much better.

    most religious hospitals hire their staff for their skills and have no religious belief requirement

    I did not mean to imply that the staff was particularly religious. In fact, I would be very surprised if it would be possible to staff a modern hospital completely with any specific religious requirement. The staff I came in contact with were all very professional and understanding. Other than being asked if I had any religious preference, there was no discussion of religion.

    Thank you all for schooling me on fresh vs. salt water requirements in the human body. I admit this started as one of those random thoughts that just popped into my head while I was lying in my hospital bed and I just ran with it. Probably I didn’t think it through as well as I should of. Since I’m relatively new here, I hope you’ll forgive me and I will do better next time.

    If Trump somehow manages to avoid a complete meltdown and actually gets the Republican nomination, then he could very well win. Don’t forget that the Citizens United SCOTUS decision virtually guarantees that corporations will pour millions of dollars into the election, mostly supporting whoever the Republican nominee is. The Koch brothers have personally pledged over $900 million into getting a Republican into the White House. If Trump gets the nomination, he will also have his multi-billion dollar personal fortune to support him. If Hillary gets the Democratic nomination, even with her Wall Street backers, she will be hard pressed to compete against this onslaught of greed arrayed against her. Sanders, with his unwillingness to resort to creating a super-pac will be in even worse shape. If Trump does end up as a third party candidate, the Democrats will still have a huge challenge to combat against the billions of dollars that they will be up against.
