“Senator John Kyle claiming that over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion.
Stephen Colbert: Over 90 percent, that is unbelievable...in that it is not true. Only 3 percent of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion. Kyle just rounded it up to the nearest 90.”

“In conversation with some coworkers today, one of them said that homeless people should have to work for their meals just like the rest of us.
I said, "Okay, I know a man who is homeless. He'd be happy to work. He's got a business degree. He would be happy to come clean your house, do your yard work, or help you with your filing, walk your dogs, babysit your kids, or just about any office job. What time tomorrow should he come see you?"
They all just looked at me.
I said, "Mind you, he's homeless, so he hasn't showered in a while and the only clothes he has are the ones on his back because he lost all his stuff last week when he got picked up for vagrancy and they wouldn't let him go back for his bag. It would be a few weeks before what you are paying him is enough to get shelter and such."
And still they stared at me.
I finished, "See? It isn't that easy. He can't get a job because he 's homeless with no access to hot water or clean clothes. He can't get access to shelter, hot water or clean clothes without a job. You want him to work for his meals? Give him a hand out of the vicious circle. Stop pretending that all he has to do is get a job.”

“Whether the future is wonderful or terrible is, in part, up to us.”
“But just as the world does not stop at our doorstep or our country’s borders, neither does it stop with our generation, or the next.”
― William MacAskill, What We Owe the Future
But, If we are to be responsible for the future then how could we not be responsible for our own past?
Accepting historical truths has nothing to do with "personal responsibility" but historical responsibility is definitely a thing we must accept to even have a future that isn't doomed to repeat its horrid past...”

“Putting your morals over our politics is always much better than politics over morals.

“Yes, racist people, it is confusing to think that every police shooting of unarmed people using excessive force is "racist," and indeed nobody in the black lives matter movement has ever suggested that is the case.
What we do say, is backed up by scientific data that proves there is systemic racism in policing and our Criminal Justice System overall.
So all of these excessive use of force cases where Police Murder civilians who were unarmed are indeed backed up by that systemically racist criminal justice system.
So it is all inherently racist even if it wasn't the police officers' intent to be "racist" at that moment in time.
You know, just because he was trying to murder in cold blood a {human} he swore an oath to protect.”

“The racist ideology of the GOP is and always was historically "baked in."
So for anyone to ask today "How is the GOP racist?" This is just someone being historically and somewhat "pathologically" ignorant.
You don't even have to go back that far but the further you do the more violence and racism you see.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see "Ronald Reagan conservatism" was always a lie to cover hate, racism, and greed in support of the rich with patriotism and budget hawking.
This is why the GOP never wants to discuss its history beyond Reagin because its history beyond that gets more and more morally damaging the further back you go from there.”

“We Have Rights to Life Love & Liberty
Why not Justice?
Justice is love, Love is Life, & life is liberty.
If you were hungry, I will offer you food.
If you were thirsty, I will offer you water.
If you are cold, I will offer you warmth.
If you are in need, ask and I will give.
If you are in trouble, ask and I will help.
I do not do these things in the hopes of being rewarded. I do not do these things out of fear of punishment.
I do these things because I know them to be right. I set my own standards and I alone and force them.

“The right-wing culture-war mentality is a political distraction used by the right-wing talking heads to manipulate their voters.
But if you wanna truly stop a right-wing ideology you must replace it with a better ideology!
Oppressing an ideology makes it stronger.
But give people a better option and you can replace it permanently.
You don't want respect! You want representation!
...Asking for respect will never get you any respect at all.
But seeking and demanding representation will give you self-respect and the true respect you deserve.”

“Christian nationalism gives people a religious justification for their hate...
This actually means if Christian nationalism is your thing you were never a Christian in the first place.
ie When you're a person who hates, who lives in a society that does not accept that hate you carry that hate like a burden.
So naturally when somebody comes along and gives you a religious justification for your hate...that's a very powerful thing that will take over the core principles of their lives because they want that justification they want that burden to go away...So that they have a raised sense of superiority over the Society in which they live that doesn't agree with their hateful bigotry and homophobic views.
"Mores are the customs, norms, and behaviors that are acceptable to a society or social group. If your personal morals are in disagreement with local mores, you should be prepared to be annoyed every time you go buy beer.”

“When fakes and charlatans twist the words of true thinkers, religious texts & intelligent human beings to meet or defend their own demented, violent and greedy ends they should for the good of society be charged with the crime of "petty pathetic douchebaggary"and be publicly shamed. Unfortunately, this would make felons of most of our society's billionaires, corporations and politicians currently taking advantage of the gullibility of our own citizens. This isn't knowledge or any form of enlightenment but the abuse of it.”

“Human beings can't be "illegal" There's no such thing as an illegal human being.
Human Beings can do illegal things but they can't be illegal themselves, that's a racist term that you're promoting.
So when you like to think that you're not a racist person this is why you are regardless of what you think.
We are not our perceptions of what we think we are, we are the realities of what we do and say, never forget that.”

“Meditation is the door to the divine. Nothing is more godly than meditation, because in meditation you slip out of the mind. You disappear from the outside, and you exist at the innermost being, at your inner core.
Your innermost being is rooted in God. Just as every tree is rooted in the earth, every consciousness is rooted in God. God means the ultimate consciousness.
Meditation is the bridge to your innermost being, to your consciousness. Once you have taste the joy of being at the source, then everything else in life becomes meaningless. Then you can go on living the ordinary life, but it becomes a beautiful drama. You can playit as well as you can, but now you know that you are not part of it. It is just a role to play, but it is not your existence.
You can have all kinds of relationships in the world, but you know the beauty of being alone. You know the bliss of being. Once that window opens your life is transformed.
And that is the whole purpose of meditation: to open that window, so that you can really know that you are godly. ”
