Help! My Wife is a Religious Nutjob and She’s Teaching my Children Creationism

This’ll be a short one.  I just found the Google results for that sentence entertaining. 

Help! my wife is a religious nutjob and she’s teaching my children creationism

Results 1, 2, 3, and 5 pertain to Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell.  If you vote Tea Party, this is what you’re voting for.  Welcome to the new America.

No, Hitler was NOT an Atheist

I think if I hear this one more time, I’m going to scream.  I know I’m really beating the dead horse today, but goddammit, people should know better. 

FOR THE LAST AND FINAL TIME:

“Gott Mit Uns” translates to “God with us” or “God is on our side” (as it’s used today)

Hitler was a Christian, in fact a Catholic.  He has never beenwwii-buckle  excommunicated from the Catholic church, so he’s still a Catholic today.  The Pope is lying when he says Nazis were Atheists.  He was there, he was in the Hitler Youth, he should know.  He was most likely required to chant the slogan.

It doesn’t take a lot of research to realize that there is an anti-Semitic slant to much of the New Testament.  Passion plays (see The Passion of the Christ) were popular in Germany prior to World War II, and they helped the anti-Semitic message of the Nazis, one they validated with scripture! After all, didn’t Judas betray Jesus?  Didn’t the Jews shout “Crucify Him!” when Pilate wanted to let him go? 

I’m sorry if you are religious and offended by this, but it’s true.  It is not correct to blame Nazi atrocities on Atheism, it is very much part of the colorful Christian history

This is what I mean!

The insanity is never-ending

It almost looks like a logical proof, except for the fact that each line of it contains at least one unique fallacy.  The mind reels.

I’m sorry, but I don’t even understand whatever stupidity it is they’re trying to say.  Is this an abortion thing?  What.  The.  Fuck.

If the lunacy here is not apparent, stop reading my blog.  You’re not smart enough.

Dear Dumbass Christian F*ckhead

Yes you, dumbass Koran burning preacher.  I’m talking to you.  Fuck you.  Burn Korans, don’t burn Korans, doesn’t matter now, the damage is done.  The goddamn President of the United States HIMSELF asked you to back down, but apparently God put it on your heart to act like a moron racist fuckhead redneck fuck up.  Interesting God you have there. 

Yes, the damage is already done.  The bad guys have taken your words and are using them to recruit more bad guys.  They’re convincing people a half a world away that America is in a holy war against Islam.  Hm, they sound kindof like you, ya know.

So thanks.  For the increased danger to our troops abroad (including one of my oldest friends), for the deaths that will occur from the elongation of the Afghanistan conflict (already our longest war EVER), for your superior skills in portraying America as a bunch of dumbass racist bigoted religious extremists to the rest of the world, FUCKIN’ THANKS, DICKHEAD. 

If there was ANY doubt in my mind prior to this about the existence of God, you’ve finally convinced me.  There couldn’t possibly be a supreme being out there watching over us all who would allow your kind of bullshit to go on in his name.  If he did, what a piss poor lame ass excuse for a god. 

Or perhaps there is a god and you really do speak for him, which explains why he hasn’t reduced you to a pile of smoldering ash. Worship a narrow minded hateful childish racist bigot of a god?  I’ll pass.

I’ll take my chances with Atheism, thanks.

P.S. FUCK YOU DICKHEAD!

The civil rights movement is so much easier without all the black people

Today Glenn Beck hijacked Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy.  Assisting him were Dr. Alveda King (it’s an honorary doctorate), Dr. King’s right-wing niece whose claim on Dr. King’s legacy more or less begins and ends with shared DNA, and Sarah Palin, right-wing shill, dumbfuck extraordinaire and half-term governor of Alaska who was nearly our vice president. 

I haven’t seen anything from it yet.  I’m sure I will, but I know Glenn BeckHe’s compared himself to Dr. King, Jesus, and Ghandi.  Anybody who buys that Beck has anything in common with any of those people needs their brain examined.  These people stood for love, understanding and unity.  Beck stands for divisive politics, fear-mongering, and bizarre conspiracy theories (much like modern Christians).

In the hopes of minimizing the right-wing usurping of the anniversary of what may have been the greatest speech of the 20th century, I would like to remind everybody of what exactly Dr. Martin Luther King stood for.  I’ll let him do it himself.  Please, watch this, not Beck, when deciding what Martin Luther King’s legacy is.

Dear Dr. Laura

What the fuck is wrong with you?  I am so sick of you right-wing crybabies.  You spew the n-word 11 times on the air, then you quit over the fact that it pissed people off?  What… the… FUCK!?!?

The reason is, I want to regain my First Amendment rights,” she said. “I want to be able to say what’s on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I’m sort of done with that.”

Your first amendment rights?  The right to free speech?  Have you been arrested?  Has the government somehow suppressed your right to spew idiocy all over American airwaves?  No.  Calling you a dumb-ass racist bitch because you spewed racial profanity over the air IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH!   How stupid are you?  That’s how it works.  You say stupid shit then we call you a racist bitch for doing it and we’re all free to do so! 

Advertisers pulling out?  They have that right.  The First Amendment has nothing to do with that and does not protect you from your own stupidity.

People angry at your racist rant?  How would you silence that without infringing their first amendment rights?  You can’t.

You idiots need to stop crying wolf on the First Amendment.  Personally, I think you’re trying to use the First Amendment to suppress the First Amendment rights of your detractors.  Oooh, the irony.  Too bad!  Our First Amendment rights are safe for at least two more years! Nyah nyah!

Piss off.

I Give Up

I saw this video today about the 9/11 responders bill.  In case you were wondering, it was a bill to cover the health care of people who were ill because they were there on 9/11 and risked their lives to save others.  They ran into the giant building with an airplane stuck in in while everybody else was running out.  Something I doubt ANY single fucking politician in Washington would have the balls to do.  And we just told them, “Nice job, now go fuck off.”  Woohoo!  Go America.

I think this sums up quite nicely how I feel.  I’m totally disillusioned.  This—GODDMAN FUCKING THIS—is how we treat our nation’s heroes.  “Thanks for saving our asses, but if it’s between you and our offshore tax shelters, fuck off.”  Our system is totally broken.  I’m no longer sure it can be saved.  I mean seriously, we can’t even PASS A GODDAMN FUCKING BILL TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO SHOWED THE REST OF THE WORLD THE BEST OF AMERICA ON OUR WORST DAY EVER!?!?!? 

This shows the absolute worst of America, and that’s really saying something these days.  This is pathetic.  This is sick.  Fuck you Washington.  Fuck you Republicans.  Fuck you Democrats.  Fuck all of you.  Just…. Fuck You All.

Racism

A couple of days ago I created a fake twitter account for the purpose of poking fun at the Tea Party.  I think I may have to stop.  In just a couple of days of poking around for links I found evidence of the most extreme racism I’ve ever seen.  I mean, stuff you might expect from the 50s (or more likely the 1850s), but it’s all recent.  Here’s the most extreme example I’ve found yet (warning, not for the faint at heart):

 http://www.ep.tc/tea-party-comix/

I actually started to feel sick.  Pretending to be a stupid racist Teabagger while mocking them is taking it’s toll on me after just a day or two.  What I’ve found, the evidence of such extreme racism from the Tea Party, from Fox News, from bungholes like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, I can’t handle it.  It’s too much.  Maybe I’ve grown up sheltered, but I didn’t know people were still like that.  Sure, I knew some people were still racist, but not like THAT.  They’re intentionally stoking a fear of black people in white people in exchange for political capital.  It’s sick.

I’m profoundly disturbed by this.  I do what I do because I know the human race can be better than we are.  We can evolve into something better.  We can do it sooner rather than later.  We can be a world of wonderful people, and we can do it within my lifetime.  We can, but we won’t.  Perhaps I’m naive. 

I have moments like this where I just want to give up.  Just go back to my white middle class home in the suburbs good paying job with a wife and two kids life and forget about all of this, just like everybody else.  But that’s how they win.  When those of us who would oppose these things, when those of us who would stand up for what’s right, when those of us who would strive to see the human species become worth saving just give up and shut up.  They’re wearing us down.  I heard it in Michael Moore’s voice at the end of his most recent movie, he’s wearing down.  So am I.  So is Obama.  So are a lot of people.  

Perhaps we’ll mature someday.  Perhaps we’ll become a species that we can be proud of.  Perhaps we’ll get past all the stupidity, small-mindedness and pettiness of our current age.  But not today.  Maybe tomorrow.

I’m going to bed.
