(10,952 posts)For the Uber Conservatives, they may be focused on doing whatever it takes to bring about the End Times and the Second Coming of Christ. Why worry about the infrastructure if they believe that we won't be around that much longer anyway. If they were really concerned about this country they wouldn't allow companies to blow through millions of gallons of water for the purpose of fracking when so many states are in deep droughts and at risk for running out of water.
For the MIC, is it all about keeping the world in a perpetual state of war to generate profits.

(10,952 posts)that the Uber Conservatives are really on their side. The only interest that they really have with the Jews is the role they think the Jews play with the End Times. And the Uber Conservatives are crazy if they think that the Jews will convert to Christianity.

(86,791 posts)there's also the mormons constantly converting deceased Jews to mormonism including their entire families, like that's actually a conversion. What these clowns believe is that all these posthumous conversion need to be done because they just know that they really wanted to be morons, I mean mormons. The have an entire institution dedicated to these posthumous conversions... so the Jews can be saved from...?
They were told to stop it and they said they would but that lasted for a whole couple weeks. Crazy.
