Quick Hits: Volume CCXLIV

 - The coordinated effort by Democrat elected officials and their media lapdogs to characterize the recently passed election law in Georgia as "Jim Crow 2.0" has been equally appalling and infuriating to watch. If you want a solid, comprehensive breakdown of the new law, longtime Georgia resident/conservative radio show host/former elections law lawyer Erick Erickson does it better than anybody


But there's one reaction in particular that I can't get past. That is the indignant claims on how this law's passage will backfire on the Georgia Republicans because Dems will be so infuriated that they will turn out in record numbers. Such a belief kinda flies in the face of leftists' claims that this is a voter restriction bill, no? How can so many people turn out if the eeeeeevil GOP took away their ability to vote???



- Remember CNN and their indignant "Facts First" ad campaign about how they're the arbiters of truth combatting the untruthful Trump administration?





One CNN writer in particular believes that a male child who has a...uh....proverbial "banana" is not necessarily an actual male. 





Sticking with the fruit analogies, CNN is basically calling a banana a peach. 



- While the results of this recent poll are not terribly surprising, it is still awfully depressing. 


A new poll indicates that American church membership has fallen below the majority for the first time.

The data from Gallup tracked church membership across the past 80 years, starting with 73% in 1937 and peaking just after World War II with 76% membership.

The past 20 years have seen a sharp dropoff, falling from 70% to 47% in that time.

The survey asked "Do you happen to be a member of a church, synagogue or mosque?"


If you're talking 20 years, that means the starting point was at the beginning of the new millennia. It's probably not a coincidence that it was the late 1990s/early 2000s when we began to see a bitter divide in partisan politics, particularly in the aftermath of the President Bill Clinton impeachment (circa 1998) and the contentious 2000 presidential election. It's only gotten progressively worse each passing year given there's been literal mobs of violence in the names of elected officials or pet political causes. 


As we approach Good Friday in commemoration of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, I feel confident in saying that Christ's death did not occur so we could engage in bitter disputes over which political philosophy is superior.
