Better than Nixon saying (as Vice President) “you won’t have Dick Nixon around anymore” Of course he lied. Later he said “I am not a crook!” Again, he perjured.
Trump was very succinct. To the point. “I’m fucked” … actually, he’s sodomized with a shovel, sideways so it would hurt more.
Interesting that Tunisian Islamic Far Right ‘jihadists’ are entering into Syria to fight against the Assad government. The religious extremists helped bring down the Gaddafi government in Libya, too. Tunisia tells imams to stop pushing Syria jihad
Strange it is besides, because the US military always claims to be fighting Muslim religious extremists throughout the world, yet everywhere the Pentagon starts a war with with its usual assistance of religious extremist governments in both Israel and Saudi Arabia, the countries then afterwards explode with Muslim religious fanaticism. Iraq and Afghanistan both come to mind in that regards.
on a pretense of “animal rights”. So, do the non-kosher methods of killing an animal measure up? Raising the animals in factory/warehouse type “farms”?
See, the Wreligious Wrong in Amerikkka ought to be on alert for that.
AIPAC among them. “Oh, no, Jonah, you’re wrong, they would never round me and my family up for a “Camp” out, for we are Baptist/Pentecostal/Catholic/Jewish what the hell ever… and the Homeland Security measures are only being used against Muslims”.
Some of the AIPACkers are probably going to be upset about this next statement, the first groups the Gestapo rounded up, first Anarchists, then Gypsies, then Communists, then mentally ill people, then homosexuals and THEN they started eyeing the blacks and Jews.
Remember, as Goebels and Hitler said “Germany is and always will be a Christian Nation!”… but only if you happen to be the “Right Kind” of Christian.
Those who have been riding along in the same posse with the Falwell Klan, a few years ago would have been the right time to hit the panic button and bail out. NOW they’ve got your address, phone number, the names of everybody in your households, where your kids go to school… How much money you make, Who your closest friends are.
What, you thought those pastoral letters from the 700 Klub were just them being nice to you?
Get a freakin’ grip already. When the Pilgrims came to Amerikkka they were seeking religious freedom, sure… FOR THEMSELVES. The same with the Puritans. Before they burned witchcraft suspects in Massachusetts, they burned Bibles and banned the budding Evangelical movement.
Funny thing about that, not funny ha-ha because it just AIN’T gonna make anybody laugh, but you know that War on Christmas bullshit they bitch about every year? And keep popping off with the names of Pilgrim and Puritan elders? They’re not interchangeable, even though they lived roughly as contemporaries, both had a predilection for really stupid looking hats, didn’t bathe and had a real talent for pissing off their neighbors and the government wherever they went. And they didn’t celebrate Christmas. This is the kind of religious warfare that sparked the notion of Separation of Church and State.
To have a Church State you’d have to set up a State Church and guess what? Chicken butt… no really guess what? It AIN’T GONNA BE YOUR CHURCH, BUBBA. Your pastor probably deluded himself while he was deluding you but Your Church Ain’t Going To Be Top Dog and that’s so close to a slam dunk bet that I won’t have to ever change the statement.
You’re going to give people the impression that you’re dumb and, chances are, they’ll be correct.
That “bridge between church and state” is a no-win game so it’s no surprise that it attracted dumbasses like Bush.
First, it should be noted that Doctors, Psychiatrists and Chaplains are, like everybody else in the services, Combatants under the Geneva Conventions. Their orders are to keep the soldiers physically and mentally and “morally” able to follow their orders, which are to Kill Other Human Beings. That’s the whole purpose of a Military Organization. Although sometimes, if the Other Human Beings grovel enough to them (like Karzhai and al Maliki do) they’ll be allowed to live, just as slaves. So when a “Mountain Post” Chaplain, Baptist Minister, got blown away in VietRaqiStan early last month, and the local news kept up the steady patter about how he volunteered for “duty” after the 9/11 Bush-ordered Mass Murder, to spread the word of Jesus. Only, Jesus never told anybody to Kill anybody. So Chaplains have to make shit up in order to justify what they’re ordered to do, keep the Soldiers and Airmen and Marines and Sailors from feelings of guilt and remorse over Killing Other Human Beings.
Preachers, religious leaders, and other propagandists for the Enemy-du-Jour are frequently targeted under legal codes naming them as accomplices. Under the Bush Doctrine, which Obama never repealed, anybody who “gives aid and comfort” even by failing to enthusiastically support Killing Other Human Beings could be determined by a Homeland Security or Military or even Mercenary Contractor Assassination Squad to be an Enemy Combatant.
Without, of course, trial, charges, any kind of Rule of Law stuff.
These are the same kinds of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity for which first Nazis convicted at Nurnberg and many Iraqi officials were executed.
But because the U.S. Chaplains are Americans and for the most part Christian (there are also Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Native American Church, Wiccan etc Chaplains, so it’s almost an equal opportunity to sell the souls of your congregation deal), well, you do the math.
But, really, what exactly differentiates a Christian Chaplain from any other propagandist?
In Christian, Judaic and Muslim laws one of God’s Top Ten List is “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”. I don’t know the details on Sikh or Hindu or Buddhist or whoever else, completely out of range of my experience. I’m pretty sure they’ve got laws against blasphemy and killing as well.
Fact is, the Chaplain in question wasn’t, under the definitions he was hired and commanded to propagate and reinforce, “murdered”. But that’s a technicality. He might have embraced it, in fact there’s no way to be a Military (or Paramilitary, like the Police) Chaplain and say anything at all contrary to what you’re ordered to say.
Not ordered by God to say it, but by the Empire.
That brings up another issue. The Chaplains are also commanded (and could conceivably get the death penalty under a charge of Mutiny) to tell their Congregants that GOD, Himself, tells them they must obey every order of the Emperor.
The good Chaplain might have accepted these precepts, and sold them wholesale to his flock, (Pastor means Shepherd, every pastor is a preacher but, especially in Baptist churches, not every preacher is a pastor), that Murder by an Army is different from Murder by an individual.
If he was a willing accomplice in his own murder, then, hey, “Lucy, you got some ‘splainin to do”
Religion isn’t as simple as it seems from the outside.
Or blaming the Crucifixion on Judaism. In other words, bullshit.
But I do know people who are Southern, Christian, White… like the Pastor in Florida… who actually DO blame Judaism for the Passion and who blame the Civil War not on Slavery, but on the slaves themselves.
So go ahead, Pastor, get your Ignorant Damn Bigoted Ku Klux TeaTard “christian warrior” MORONS all frothing at the mouth, burning books, maybe you’ll convince some of the stupid bastards to lynch people for you. AMERICANS whether you or your IDIOT Party have enough courage to allow us the title, or even admit that we and all your other HATE SPEECH targets are Human Beings.
Tell the Bloodthirsty Mob that GOD, Himself, Ordained you to tell them to go out and Burn, destroy and above all KILL in His name. You’ve already gotten your Demented Disciples to burn a community center in Murfreesboro Tennessee, your Rabid Leaders Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck have incited at least one Racist Bigotry Inspired Murder in the past two weeks. A cab driver who didn’t grovel to the Haters and beg their forgiveness for something done by somebody else.
YOU, Pastor, and your Hate Speech Comrades like Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, Malkin, Geller, Ollie North, Gunny Bob Newman, are guilty by your own standard of judgment.
YOU condemn a Billion people on the basis that they shared the same religion with people accused of murder. People, who unlike YOU and YOUR Killer Koward Komrades on FOX and Hate-Speech Radio, did NOT actively incite or inflame or even support the bombing of the idolatrous Temple of Monetary Imperialism.
If I were to judge on YOUR retarded standards, I’d go around murdering anybody displaying the Confederate Hate-Flag or any indication of being TeaBags, burning their homes and churches the way YOU and YOUR Retarded Comrades have urged your followers to do.
Further, somebody could justify by YOUR Retarded judgment of guilt, slaughter anybody with a light complexion or a Stupid Smirk on his Piggy Face like the portrait you posed for.
Every bit the haughty Arrogant Racist Klansman, aren’t you, Pastor? The PEOPLE you’re so presumptuously sending your Followers to murder are AMERICANS and that, sir, makes YOU and all of your Ku Klux Komrades Anti-American Terrorists.
First we need to define a few basic terms. Jealousy and Envy are often used interchangeably. They are not interchangeable. Jealousy is the notion that somebody else wants what you have, whether it’s based in truth or in sick fear. Envy is the desire to possess something somebody else has.
In America, most of the resolved homicides fall under those two motives, to the point that when a person is shot in his/her home, her/his spouse or lover is almost never immediately dismissed as a suspect.
Envy takes the form of Avarice, Envy and Avarice are described theologically in the Seven Deadly Sins. Avarice leads to the taking of those things of which one is Envious.
When that is done at gunpoint, it’s called Robbery, and if one crosses the line between Armed Robbery and actually pulling the trigger, it’s Capital Murder. What level of money would you wager that those charged with murder in the commission of a robbery are far more likely than those charged with murder of a “cheating” lover or spouse, to receive a Death Penalty or Life w/o Parole?
Now, the Non-Western civilizations are accused of promoting Terrorism either through Jealousy or Envy of our “superiority”… but are we superior?
One of the things that gets thrown around is the notion of Honor Killing. What, specifically, would be the biggest difference between killing your mate over alleged or actual adultery, and on the other hand, killing your mate over alleged or actual adultery?
If you don’t go all the way, don’t kill, and merely beat your mate into a very dangerous medical condition in a “ritual” manner or if you do it in a non-ritual manner? Where is the difference? If a court system in one civilization condones by default, through lack of actual protections for the battered spouse, or a wink-wink nudge-nudge say-no-more Patriarchal lesser punishment for the Killer Spouse, How is it substantially different in a Religious Zealot society, like America, or another Religious Zealot society like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan?
Is the murdered or battered wife of a Christian in a Christian society more or less, better or worse, than the same scenario in another culture or faith? Mind you, the apologists for bombing the living Hell out of other countries often avoid using the Religious angle, they say instead the “christian oriented” Superior Culture of America v. the “muslim dominated savage infidels” in the Rest of the World.
Much like the racist notion that one’s RACE isn’t the primary divider, it’s the White Anglo Saxon Protestant CULTURE and Heritage that’s superior to the just-by-a-coincidence Non-White, Non-English-nor-Pretestant cultures they’re ummm… not necessarily putting down as Inferior, mind you, more like “The White Anglo Saxon CULTURE is ever so much better, you understand, we don’t think you’re necessarily not as good as us, we’re just Better Than You.”
A slight warning here, when you go around saying you’re that much better than others that you get to run their lives or oppress, repress and suppress them if they don’t allow you, they’ll hit back. Hard.
When you take that to the next level and say that you can justify bombing their countries and killing their people, you’ll get hit again.
The “Superior” Military Might of the Empire is proving to be far less an advantage than originally thought…
“How DARE those rag-head sand-niggers continue to Defy OUR mighty and superior Army?”
–The epitaph of yet another fallen empire
The theme of a commercial sponsored by Aventis Pharmaceuticals and played today on Fox between football games. Big Pharma and Fox, the ones who are trying To Make It God-Damned Impossible for uninsured people to be able to Get A Checkup Or Any Other Form Of Health Care.
A Scene: Lady in doctors’ office being questioned about a heart issue..
B Scene: Coroner examining body and saying “Cause of death Myocardial Infarction” (A type of heart attack) into his recording device.
Next… Scene A: Doctor asking same woman about symptoms of Diabetes…
Back to the coroner adding diabetes into the diagnosis.
back to the doctors office, lady being asked about diet and exercise
Blurb about “You can get a Check-up now, or get one later”.
Back to Coroner pulling a sheet over the face of the patient.
Oh, yeah, Fox News, Aventis, GREAT ADVICE… considering how much you bastards are trying to keep Health Care as a privilege of the Wealthy. Even if the poor could get an appointment for a checkup under your Wealthy Elite Regime, they wouldn’t be able to afford the Aventis Patented (and obscenely overpriced) medications.
So what’s the deal, Lucille? What’s the plan, Stan? You rubbing our noses in the fact that you’re Rich and we aren’t?
“Nanny-nanny boo boo, stick your head in doodoo, there’s medicine that could save your life but you can’t have any because we’re Better Than You because we have money and You Don’t Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha and we’ve got a small (extremely small) Army of Redneck Tea Party Idiots conned into pressuring Congress to keep it that way forever. All we have to do is tell the Stupid Goobers that they’re going to lose their Freedom if people get adequate health care, and they’re too freakishly STUPID to realize that they’ll be left out too, we’ll kick their collective STUPID arse back into their Slave Quarters”.
Some people are born out of wedlock. Some others are Self-Made Bastards. They didn’t get the name at birth so they spend their lifetimes earning it.
