Juan Williams Calls Birth Control Issue a “Total Fraud” on the Part of Conservatives
The most unlikely source of news presents an unlikely call by a very unlikely person: FOX News allows “total fraud” charge by Juan Williams.
“Merry Christmas” Could be Dying Out
74%
Americans 65 and over who prefer the greeting, “Merry Christmas” to, “Happy holidays.” Among those 18 – 30, 50% say they prefer the former, according to a poll from Marist commissioned by the Catholic group Knights of Columbus.
Republicans Take Direct Hit in War on Xmas
Apparently Florida Senate candidate and former fill-in Sen. George LeMieux didn’t get the memo. He sent supporters and those on his email list a message entitled “Happy holidays” with a link to this “Happy holidays” video, in which he takes 24 seconds to wish everyone, whether they are celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah, a happy holiday.
Do we even need to say it? O.K., here goes. Had a Democrat running for office wished people the polite, “Happy holidays” instead of the hot button, “Merry Christmas,” the egregious liberal socialist atheist communist slur would have been noted. I guess the Catholic Mr. LeMieux is held to a different standard. One which, by the way, I applaud.
But still, I would have liked to know what battles were fought behind the scenes for this video to be made. As a Republican friend on Facebook said the other day, “Happy Hanukkah, or as they call it on FOX News, Happy Jew Christmas!”
Marriage? Not So Much
51%
Of American adults are married, a record low. The numbers are even lower among young people. In 1960, nearly 60% of adults age 18 to 29 were married. Today, the amount is 20%. The Pew Research study doesn’t count same-sex marriage, but includes a “family” category for gay couples raising children.
Rep. Chris Murphy Calls Lowe’s on Its Cowardice
Nailed it:
“Lowe’s defends itself by saying they’re pulling these ads because some of their customers have, quote, strong political and social views on this topic. Well congratulations to Lowe’s for acknowledging that there are some really bigoted people in the world. That doesn’t mean that Lowe’s or any other company should acquiesce to this kind of behavior. For instance, there are unfortunately a lot of people out there who still hold racist views about African-Americans, but I don’t think that Lowe’s is going to be pulling its ads from television shows featuring African-Americans.”
Rapture Redux Today
Today is the day, supposedly, that the Rapture is supposed to occur. Either that or the Rev. Harold Camping will be wrong for the third time. Camping predicted the biblical Judgment Day for May 21, 2011.
When it failed to materialize (or immaterialize, as the case may be), Camping proceeded to have a stroke and then offered Oct. 21, 2011, as the true day when Jesus will return to establish his kingdom on earth and all the true believers will float up to heaven, leaving cars and buses driverless on the interstate and pots boiling on stoves, etc.
OK, if Camping got it wrong twice before the stroke and if he’s wrong again today, can we please stop paying any attention whatsoever to him from now until the End of Time?
We went to work anyway because as pagans we’ll still need to pay the bills once the earth is rid of those pesky Christians. But don’t worry, Christians, we’ll feed the dogs and cats and goldfish you leave behind and we’ll clean up the messes you make as you ascend to the heights.
Have fun sitting on the right hand of God for all eternity! Really, we mean it!
Prophetess Michele Bachmann: God Sent Earthquake, Hurricane to Smite ‘Politicians’ Because of Govt Spending
I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, “Are you going to start listening to me here?” Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we’ve got to rein in the spending.
– Republican politician Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, campaigning at a megachurch in Florida, making the sort of ridiculous assertion that would have forced a serious presidential contender out of the race just a few years ago.
John R. Butler’s Hymn for Our Times, ‘Hand of the Almighty’
“Hand Of The Almighty,” by John R. Butler. (WARNING: CONTAINS PROFANITY – If you’re easily offended, you may want to find something else to watch.) This is from “The Best of the Red Peters Comedy Music Hour, Vol. 1” This song is also known by the title “God Will Fuck You Up”
Lyrics:
Oh sinner do not stray
From the straight and narrow way
For the Lord is surely watching what you do
If you approach the Devil’s den
Turn round don’t enter in
Lest the hand of the Almighty fall on you
He’ll fuck you up (he’ll fuck you up)
Yes God will fuck you up
If you dare to disobey his stern command
He’ll fuck you up (he’ll fuck you up)
Don’t you know he’ll fuck you up
So you better do your praying while you can
Long ago a man named Lot
Had a wife he thought was hot
But she could not stop her black and sinful ways
You know it was her own damn fault
When God turned that bitch to salt
That’s the way he used to work back in those days
He fucked him up (he fucked him up)
He really fucked him up
When the people went and turned their backs on him
He can fuck you up (he’ll fuck you up)
No shit he’ll fuck you up
Just like he fucked the people up back then
I used to have a friend named Ray
Who walked that evil way
He cursed and drank and broke his neighbor’s fence
You know Ray was full aware
That some sheep were over there
And he knew them in the Biblical sense
God fucked him up (he fucked him up)
He went and fucked Ray up
Went and paid him back for all his wicked sins
He fucked him up (he fucked him up)
Fucked that boy completely up
Now he’s married to a Presbyterian
Hat tip – and Happy Birthday – to JS
