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.
The Memphis Homeland Security fusion center has a map listing the Tennessee ACLU as a “Terrorist Event.” Compound that with what a ranking senator (R-AL) has called the “ACLU DNA.” It goes beyond semantics when the label of terrorist means by executive order suspects can be detained without charges, indefinitely and without an enforceable standard of human rights. Think twice about those giving credence to Vice President Biden’s categorization of Wikileaks as more terrorism than journalism. On the lighter dark side, the CIA has set up a Wikileaks Task Force (WTF), prompting comedian Andy Borowitz to suggest the more apt Stop Terrorists From Uniting (STFU).
But some will be swayed by people who only speak English, and that not much goodly, (bad joke and I’d have to go to a seance and ask Shakespeare if it’s actually grammatically correct, which leads to==>>) but will insist that Shakespearean/Jacobite English mistranslates “Thou Shalt Not Kill” when the original Hebrew grammar translates as “Thou Shalt Not MURDER”, that killing human beings on ones own initiative is Very Bad, Wicked, Naughty and (rightfully at that) considered “murder” and a crime, sin and a flaw in the basic working of the Human Soul.
Whereas doing it at the command of the King (basically because somebody else told you to do it and you’re too weak-minded to question his authority to demand such actions) is actually ordained by God as being righteous.
Thus somebody who also doesn’t speak any language other than English, and that poorly, like the fire-non-fighters from Tennessee recently made “Conservative” icons, can also insist that since the Shakespeare/King James English translated Ancient Hebrew badly, BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO SPEAKS NEITHER jACOBITE ENGLISH NOR ANCIENT HEBREW TOLD HIM SO AND HE’S TOO WEAK MINDED TO QUESTION THAT PERSONS INTERPRETATION OF TWO LANGUAGES WHICH THAT PERSON DOES NOT SPEAK, WRITE OR ACTUALLY READ…
permits him to commit Arson-by-default by refusing to extinguish a potentially fatal home fire even though he had the equipment, training and a job which gives him the actual duty to extinguish potentially fatal home fires.
Also support executions and wars as being valid because Other People with government jobs said so.
According to the Tennessee Fire-non-Fighter who watched his neighbors’ house burn to the ground, with the fire crew standing around to make sure fire didn’t spread to their own properties, called his actions “Robust, Masculine Christianity” a new-old method of trying to justify ones evil deeds by re-translating the Bible to edit out any forms of compassion, sharing, care for ones neighbors, family, people they’d never met…
So here are a few other things that define Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men,
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man lets his neighbors house burn down.
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man cares so much about his Nation that he won’t send anything more than a “prayer guide” card to surviving victims of flood, tornado, earthquake, rampaging murderers, outlining how Christ demands that nobody help ones neighbor, and detailing how to Toughen Up and just get over it.
Rush Limbaugh, (m)Ann Coulter, etc, did that for everybody from the widows of VietNam Agent Orange victims, 9/11 firemen and anybody from New Orleans who wasn’t rich enough to escape the Katrina Flood.
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man doesn’t care if his children, parents, or even himself contract e-coli or Salmonella from contaminated unregulated foodstuff, he shrugs and says, “Oh, well, MOST people who die from e-coli or salmonella had other health problems (like, being very old, very young, pregnant, just had a baby… you know, Not Robust Macho Men) so it doesn’t matter. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man especially doesn’t care when it’s somebody else’s kids, and especially if he owns stock in the corporations that sold the poison food.
He merely does as Boxer did in the book “Animal Farm”, after he worked himself almost to death, and the Pigs sold his still breathing body for dog food, according to Master Propagandist Glenn “Squealer” Beck, his last words were “I Will Work Harder for my corporate whore-lords even though it’s going to kill me and my family”
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man refuses to believe that anybody ever becomes rich by inheriting stolen money or by stealing that money for themselves, it’s always bread that the wealthy earned by the sweat of their (servants’) brow. And their newly “discovered” proper translation of the Bible by people who don’t speak any more Aramaic or Classic Hebrew than he does and they told him that it’s true.
Sean Hannity said it, he believes it, that settles it.
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that Richard Cheney and George Bush, being elected by a minority of the voters, were thus appointed and anointed by God, Himself, to have the rule over all the land, and all foreign lands as well, “Love God and Obey the King” and if somebody points out that America doesn’t actually HAVE a king, he will shout down that Upstart Rebellious Peasant and call the police on him if he doesn’t shut up.
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that the previous rule doesn’t apply to any “king” elected who is not approved by the High Priesthood of Beck and Hannity and Sarah Palin and Bill O’Reilly.
A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man believes that God commands him to inject his own version of what God says into every political decision affecting every other person in the entire world even though Tyrants throughout history have used the same lame-ass lying arguments he’s being spoon fed by his Corporate Whore-lords, who pimp out the revised version of the Gospel, the same way they’ve always pimped out the Name of God and they pimp out any working class person who is STUPID enough to fall for that crap.
By their fruits shall ye know them.
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There’s a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, Malkin… people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha’ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word.
Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn’t make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the “Shakespeare was queer, you know” wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was “effeminate”. Oh, he’s a lumberjack, he’s okay. (so gay?)
And they’re actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission.
Many of them cite the “Thou shalt not Kill” commandment, saying that “They” meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who “They” are as he is of the actual grammatical structure of Classical Hebrew, BUT “They” Apocryphally proved that it really should have said “Thou shalt not Murder” and thus place a distinction among the concepts of Killings not authorized by the King-du-jour and those which are authorized.
AND then make the silly ass demand that WE, the “peasants”, never question “Their” word on it. Does Hannity or Malkin or Beck or Jack van Impe or any single one of their Demented Demonic Disciples actually speak Classical Hebrew fluently?
I’ve never met one who does and I’ve been in fundamentalist churches all my life.
The same way the Lying Freaks say that They, and only They, can possibly know the Original Intent of the “Founding Fathers” who just by a coincidence aren’t the ones who actually FOUGHT the revolution, but those Wealthy Landed Aristocrats who commanded it. And the sources of their Arcane-yet-Unquestionable Knowledge of the Constitution are the sources of the Religious Revisionists. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are also in their sorry lying ChickenHawk lot.
But they’re going to, just like the Fire-Non-Fighter, claim that somehow They have been given the revelation that Thou Shalt Not Kill is a grammatical error in a language none of Them even speaks.
Apparently the concept has been sold to more than a few individuals.
And it’s Mighty Convenient if those who seek to rule over everybody else offer up their version of the Word of God as being the unquestionable basis of their so-called “Authority”.
God Himself hath verily told us through secret Revelation that we of course are not obligated to prove in any way, that YOU must bow down before us, and accept our Mighty Rule as surely as you would His, without question or dissent
Nothing new there either. The contention against “bad” kings as opposed to “good” kings has always centered on the “bad” kings somehow usurping the authority of Kingship.
They put in little disclaimers to their otherwise Iron-Clad commandment of “Honor God and OBEY the King” like “unless WE don’t accept the King as legitimate, then you sorry-ass PEASANTS better help us overthrow the one and worship OUR “True King”.
In other words, follow Saddam Hussein, Very Bad.
Follow the American-British installed Puppet King al Maliki, Very Good.
Follow President Obama, Very Bad.
Follow the Godly and Anointed Leader Queen Sarah, Very Good.
The “Anointed and True King” horseshit isn’t an exclusively Judeo-Christian-Islam concept either, it shows up in blatantly pagan literature like The Lord of the Rings.
Or, to quote the heathen-rewritten-as-Christian-rewritten-as Monty Python tale of King Arthur:
“Strange ladies lying in puddles distributing swords is no basis for Kingship. True executive authority comes by a mandate from the Masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony. If I were to go about saying I’m the Emperor simply because some moistened Bint lobbed a scimitar at me they’d lock me away, hadn’t they”?
