Kick! Making Politics Fun
A liberal dose of political humor Video, Politics, humor, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, SNL & commentary by Newscat & Rack Jite
I have noticed that everyone has conceded to The Beck Fox News numbers of 300,000 at the Beck and Palin Church Picnic. I suppose the reasoning is it does not matter, they are going to believe whatever Fox and Beck and Sister Sarah tell them to believe - which is why stupid people are so stupid.
I did a little count of my own. It is the lack of density that makes this rally number count in under 100,000. The lawn chairs, lounge chairs, mobility scooters, coolers, backpacks, costume bags, walkers and girth make the density of the crowd take up about three times as much room as a rally of smart people would take up. So 100,000 times 3 would be 300,000. There ya go!
Of course Michelle Bachmann - who will win in Minnesota only because she is batshit crazy CHRISTIAN - says there were 1.6 million present. She of course includes guardian angels, the holy host, holy ghosts, holy spirits, purgatory souls, ducks, geese, fish and leprechauns.
"The pattern is inescapable: she takes disagreements personally, and swiftly deals vengeance on enemies, real or perceived." Vanity Fair lead in to It Came from Wasilla
This is a good read... What it really comes down to is not so much what a vengeful nastyass bitch she is - which is no secret and the very reason like minded Christians love her so much - but that she has successfully managed to keep herself in her tight little right-wing bubble without ever having to stick anything out of it but her middle finger. It's six long pages of trailer trash Hell in Alaska, but a fun read none the less. It Came From Wasilla, Vanity Fair
"If you think it's a terrible thing, you shouldn't be doing it in the
first place. You don't do 140 executions and then all of a sudden think
this was a bad thing." Texas Walls Unit Warden Charles Thomas O'Reilly
Besides Christian activist Timothy McViegh who did in 169, this guy sending 140 souls sent to their maker is a record for any REAL AMERICAN Christian to be proud of. Shackled and unarmed is the stuff of Texas Heroism. Oh, and shooting unarmed people in the back. Joe Horn pages. I suppose just like Evangelical Christian George W Bush who took so much joy (even giggling about it) in being the governor who was responsible for the most executions in American history, one can always say, RULE OF LAW or THEY HAD IT COMIN'! Texas Walls Warden O'Reilly Retires proud of the 140 he sent to Hell
This goes at the very core of ever growing disgust toward the predominate religion of my country. Yet alone all the crap going on in the Middle East. Instead of religion doing the right thing, it is most always doing the wrong thing.
Instead of being on the side of compassion, mercy, love, peace and reaching out to those in need, it has become the direct opposite. It is American Christianity that takes the most joy in capital punishment, in whacking children around, carpet bombing, collateral damage, guns, hate, war and giving the least of us the finger. It's disgusting and someone has to say so no matter how unpopular it is. The Emperor has no clothes!
This guy is the perfect mix of Texas and Christianity... Zap Bang bang! What fun! Oh you never ask questions when Gods on your side.
"And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: All the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses." Numbers 15:32 - 15:36
That passage is up front in the second chapter of the first book. That right there is more than enough to realize what a horror show one is getting into. GOD SAYS! If ever there was cause to throw the baby out with the bath water there ya go.
Quite often the humor goes missing from Right-wing cartoons. In fact Rameriz and McCoy often remind me of Rush Limbaugh who so often exclaims what an overweight, cold hearted, selfish, greedy, bigoted, racist, name calling right-wing jerk he is! And then laughs at his home spun sarcasm. Trouble is sarcasm does not work well the reality is that Rush Limbaugh really is an overweight, cold hearted, selfish, greedy, bigoted, racist right-wing jerk! Kick! Rush Limbaugh Section
This cartoon by Chuck Asay is one such example. On my first read I though that even conservative cartoonists has to balk at Beck, Palin, the Tea Baggers and their silly crap. That this man is smart enough to understand how patently absurd it is that the answer to fixing the economy, unemployment, debt and war is to wave the Bible around in one hand and Constitution in the other. It goes beyond absurd into the realm of psychotic.
In fact I was so confused I had to Google the guy. As soon as I realized he was from Colorado Springs (a city owned and operated by evangelical Christians) it became clear. Nope, no sarcasm in that cartoon. It is the real thing. That indeed, the way to solve our problems in America which is already the silliest Christian nation on Earth, we only need MORE Religious intolerance and Constitutional Constructionism to become even more bigoted and batshit crazy than we already are. Here's one from the newer book I am sure they like too.
"Neither was there any among them that lacked; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need." Acts of the Apostles 4-34
Have a familiar ring to it?
"From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." Karl Marx.
I know this is hard to believe, but Televangelist Elmer Beck who constantly bleats on and on about not finishing even one course in college - which in itself makes him a "properly" home schooled historian - is shown here to be completely and historically wrong on something so easily Googable.
Other than the stall of this erection because of the religious intolerance of those who like Glenn Beck, know nothing, the lesson is that once the supernatural is allowed to trump reason all things are possible!
Perhaps Glenn will take the climb up that thing for a jump to see if he can fly? I take that back. He is stupid enough to try it. Or maybe just jump the Snake river in a rocket or something. I have made it this far with no blood on my hands and intend to keep it that way.
Bill "Bad Hair" Keller runs an online Christian Church based upon intolerance, bigotry and hate. The first things to jump out at you at his Website is "Mohamad" pictured as a pig, Osama and Oprah together and of course Obama with Hitler. The Live Prayer Website
One would think this would be a big story but so far it's just a blurb from Salon and this video from Olbermann. Other than the hypocrisy there is no big stink from the Left because the Left understands the establishment clause of the First Amendment means what it says.
So the issue comes back to that hallowed sacred ground crap, which is the basis of ALL the violence in the Middle East.
We need to be more like the religious folks in the Middle East. We cannot be left behind! We need walls! Lots of walls. With armed checkpoints! And rock throwing! And not to forget the wailing! And of course bells and voices calling us to prayer all day! These are the things that matter. THEN comes jobs and health care and going to school and stuff.
Perhaps its time for Larry Flint to enter the fray and build some outlandish religious porn studio. Wait! Where are the Scientologists! We need a Scientology Laboratory nearby, perhaps offset by a Mormon tabernacle. CHURCH WARS AT GROUND ZERO. But seriously, I think walls with checkpoints are the answer to religious strife.
After watching this the old logic tree becomes clear.
Premise 1 - These are very very stupid people.
Premise 2 - These very very stupid people see the world only through the eyes of Fox News and Company.
Conclusion - Fox News and Company market specifically to very very stupid people.
So you see? Our nation is not split over red and blue, rural and urban, black and white or rich and poor... It is a split over smart and stupid. But if you are looking for a vote or selling a product or service you MUST keep your mouth shut or else.
I sometimes wonder if this could all be the fault of Plavix and company. Before all these life prolonging wonder drugs these stupid old bigots went on their way a lot sooner than they do these days. I also now understand why Sister Sarah gets her snatch in a snitch over the word "retard". Retard is her base.
