So very true. The conservatives view assisting our people with good help and ensuring measures are taken that they have good jobs and safe working environments as "Big Government" and Government "Control" yet somehow see controlling what people do in their bedroom, who people can love and what rights a woman has for her body, not as "Big Government" or a government "takeover" but rather as..."values"
Excellent point. Love the graphic too. It is the ultimate hoax of all time made even more dangerous by the fact that religion of any kind (like the politics of our day) are successful because they tap into the basest and ugliest characteristics of the human psyche...hate, fear, xenophobia, homophobia, pride and many such emotions...
I have to disagree.....Google is indeed a redhead...but Google is a sexy siren in a skimpy two piece see through when it is wet bathing suit who is eager to be at my beck and call and every whim!
Incredibly apt comparison! Was a great movie btw.
This is a major pet peeve of mine. There is not one single political, cultural, social or economic reason to restrict sell of alcohol and even more so to just restrict it on Sunday. It is an unquestionable grab of theocrats to force their morality and their religious ideals on others. My county is a "wet" county that restricts drinking on Sunday. The county I work in in Tennessee allows alcohol sale on Sundays in bars and restaurant. So let's think this logic straight (logic=a word Christians are very uncomfortable with) the religious right would rather a man go 20 miles to another county, to watch the game on Sunday and get drunk off his ass and drive home and kill himself or somebody else...than walk around the corner to the convenient store and buy a 12 pack and sit in his living room in the safety of his home. Brilliant.
This was great!!!! The hypocrisy of the right wing nutjobs never ceases to amaze me. Jon Stewart is...once again...my hero!
While I am typically right on board with this kind of observation I have to ask where the problem is here. She is speaking to people of faith about faith. Now there is the unfortunate fact that the media has to pander to these people but in essence, if I have the right, and jealously defend the right, to not have faith, to not accept superstitions and myths, to not believe in God, "The Word" and the other imaginative fairy tales of the religious world...then I have to acknowledge the right of the people that choose to believe in those things, choose to accept the foolish and archaic idea of faith in something and somebody unseen of whom there is no proof or evidence.
I do not agree with Pelosi or her views and her "faith" but I do agree that she has the right to say these things in the environment she was in. If she had said this on...let's say...the House floor...then I might object. But it seems to me that to judge her for speaking her beliefs in an environment tailor made and friendly to the same system of beliefs...while defending our rights and objecting to the likes of Bishop Nedd insulting our right to atheism...might be a little hypocritical. But that is just my opinion.
Well I definitely agree that this is an attempt to distract the world from their very real problems. After all what could POSSIBLY be worse than a pedophile raping our future? Well of course somebody that doesn't hide behind a myth or allow other people to hide behind that myth. So the only way to resolve this is to of course....convert them. This way they too will not see the real problem...as long as the myth of God is covering it for them. In short it boils down to they need to deal with the group of people that are not cooperating with their program of cover up.
Hey vjack gotta have a talk with amazon.com and all the Rethuglican propaganda they keep promoting on your blog! rofl...is kinda ironic..typical Rethuglians..they just don't have a clue!
In response to your note at the end....It is your flipping blog. Part of the priviledge of having your own blog is that you can say whatever you want to. If you see somebody as an idiot than there is no need to defend your choices. Just because you see them as an idiot does not mean that your readers have to agree. Idiocy is often subjective and those that criticize your choices need to start their own blog and then they can call whomever they wish an idiot. As for your choice this week....the "birthers" fall under a HUGE dunce cap with IDIOT engraved with neon lights!
