Ahhh unity
Fucking eh!
If you spend 10 minutes looking into Dolly Parton, you’ll find a Fucking Angel.
Legitimately. Look into her reading program. Not just the news articles, but the written deals. She makes sure that if her program is a success, that the county is contracted to keep it going FOR-FUCKING-EVER. Her legacy is generations of kids who graduate high school because she sent them books.
And that’s just ONE thing she did, with a legacy that will outlast every one of us.
We ride at dawn.
That’s exactly why they hate her. She gives kids free books, no strings attached.
I can think of other reasons
There’s a better life
And you think about it, don’t you?
It’s a rich man’s game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet-9 to 5
Somebody actually woke up one morning & thought, “Man, I know everyone’s convinced Dolly’s such a great person… how can I quickly cement that idea even further publicly & make myself look like an even bigger douche at the exact same time?!”
Ragebait from some religious fruitcake. Base level defiler.
Nope. The Federalist is a major right-wing media outlet.
Had to look them up. Gross.
If you’re ever on the opposite side of Dolly on an ethical or moral issue, you’re on the wrong side.
Capitalist bigot Christians complaining about false gospels is pretty rich.
Shit newspaper with shit ideas.
“christianity is about hating people and Dolly doesn’t hate people enough” -the federalist, basically
I would have few problems with Christianity if Dolly was the standard Christians tried to live up to. They sure as hell don’t try to live up to Christ’s standards.
I’m almost certain they’ve all decided Jesus was a loser and decided to root for Barabbas instead.
There are many Christians whose faith does not involve pushing the law on others, but instead focus on the gospel and its inclusive nature.
These aren’t the loud ones who push regressive policies. Because the ones pushing regressive policies aren’t doing so because their religion tells them to, they’re making their religion fit whatever they feel the world should look like, picking and choosing which rules to follow or ignore based on their worldview, shaping their religion to fit their bigotry. They would hate Jesus, who preached paying taxes, being generous to the needy, and accepting sinners and those despised by the establishment of the time.
If it was just a handful, you wouldn’t have situations like the anti-LGBT law in Uganda or just Trump’s election in 2016.
I mean, in context that verse is about being aware one’s belief in Jesus may cause strife with their family/community, and how Christians are meant to endure this strife without denying their faith. The choice of working makes sense in the context of the time it was written, when affirming Christ is God would have absolutely caused some major animosity with those who don’t believe. It’s assuring the reader that the division and pain that will come from those disagreements is not lost on God, and also not something we can turn away from and ignore.
The Christians that everyone is up in arms about all the time are close to the worst representation of the faith as possible, and you can easily point out their lazy interpretations as well as scripture that, more often than not, outright rejects their twisting of the faith. Modern day Pharisees all the way. Unfortunately the church on a national level is inundated with them, and has done a poor job of separating from them.
Imagine what Jesus would say about “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”.
He’d probably clap until his wrists were sore.
I mentioned elsewhere- it’s one of the few movies where sex workers aren’t demonized. And then ending… His political career will be over if he marries the madam? Oh well, love is love.
I discovered today that the director of 9 to 5 also directed that film, which doesn’t surprise me.
I mean look what they did to Mr. Rogers
Uh oh… what did they do to Mr Rogers?
Tried to turn him into a Transphobe icon by deliberately misinterpreting his more banal aphorisms.
Let’s just say they’ve been on their “special snowflake” ranting looooooong before you may remember
yeah, when hillary called the trump cultists deplorable, and a bunch of people wigged out, crying about her saying mean things, all I could think about is how I have heard that, and much worse, from right wing media, for as long as I have memories. At the time people would say “but she did it as a candidate on an official forum”, or something similar, while her rival was just a sewer vomiting this type of sentiment, and worse, on a daily basis. And all the people who spent so much time calling everyone snowflakes, completely melted down over one insult.
I call them redcaps, and have a pretty clear definition, the kind of person who may or may not insist that they’re just bummed about economics or something, but when approached with progressive economic policy react by asking “…but can we still say the N Word?”
Let’s just say I call them a lot of things.
I hope these people have IBS for a couple of weeks. And during times on the can, use that quiet time to reflect. Praise Dolly. Amen.
Sounds like envy at vwork there
what is with this pose why are white people like this
exaggeratingly avoiding eye contact and making a stupid mouth expression is what overly dramatic/narcissistic people do to emphasize the hotness of their take, the sheer disagreeableness they presume their words or actions have
it’s like “sorry not sorry” as an expression. it is pretentiousness incarnate

THATS. NOT. OKAY.
I live in Tennessee. The number of lives that Dolly Parton has changed for the better is immeasurable. The two things you’re supposed to do as a Christian are to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
She loves her neighbors more than she loves herself. Anyone talking trash about Dolly is the worst kind of person.
Dolly Parton is the kind of saint the Catholic Church will never canonize.
My wife and I recently had a child. We came home the other day to a book in the mail; “The Little Engine That Could”. It was sent by a foundation that Dolly either started or contributes heavily to. She chose that book as the introductory book because it reminds her of the struggles her father endured and overcame learning to read. Fuck whoever dispareges Dolly Parton in the neck with a rusty screwdriver.

That’s a serious understatement. I’m an atheist, but she’s the closest thing to a saint I can think of.
And that only goes up to 2022.
Her and Mr. Rogers are probably more saintly than any actual historical saint
Aw hell naw! First Mr Rogers now Dolly? These monsters truly have no morals.
This is how they got Early Cuyler
