The Road to Hell



Wikipedia
The origins and interpretations of the phrase's meaning.

Madam Noire
"...some charities and for-profit clothing recyclers are engaging in a donated clothing war, with the latter looking to cut charities out as drop-off middlemen..."

Huffington Post
Food imports drove down the price of indigenous produce so much that local farmers lost their land.

Life Site News

As the old saying goes: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." It seems to be a derived from another saying "Hell is full of good wishes and desires. Heaven is full of good works."

Well this sounds familiar, no? How about praying for the victims of the French terror attacks? Getting on your knees and praying sounds like an excellent candidate for a good intention.

But it gets worse.

What you might think are actual good works, can go terribly wrong. Some works go wrong because they are not thought out very well. Other works go wrong intentionally because of a hidden economic agenda.

American Theocracy


Think Progress
This is not just about JGBT rights, it about outright Theocracy. A Radical Fundamentalist Christian State

Believe it or not, there is a hidden agenda behind the anti-LGBT movement and the Anti-Syrian refugee movement. It's called Dominion Theology. What I call American Theocracy.

It's not really about securing status as a protected class for the Christians, It's about securing Cultural Hegemony.

The interview with an elleged prostitute may be suspect.

The Week (01/22/2014)
This article shows how little the NeoCons cared about Christian values. (BONUS: negative campaign video at the end)

The Times Picayune
The media doesn't want to let bygones be bygones.
Here's a bonus YouTube video clip of Rachel Maddow critiquing the Vitter campaign. It's out of sync, and it's an unofficial video so it might be taken down pretty soon because NBC News rolls that way, so here's the MSNBC link.for more
