Imminent Rupture #2

in

Hurry up, Bishes!! WE'RE CUTTING RIGHT NOW!!

Oh...

Wait a minute...

We're totally gay.

Never mind.

I'd better go put on something skimpy.

HA! SILLY GOOSES!!

I ALREADY HAVE something skimpy on!

What's wrong with you? You should've known that...! Well, I guess I'm all set to be tortured for the next 3 months, then burn in hell for eternity. I'd better pack some snacks.

The Rapture: Because some Christians will do anything to avoid actually following those pesky liberal teachings of Jesus.

‎”If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition, and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.”

Be Bold, Have Faith and Courage... Do It For Each Other

This video had me on the cusp of weeping. It's simply beautiful. If you only knew how important your voice is... If you only knew.

Oh my god... Is EVERYONE FRICKING RETARDED??? Don't answer that. I can't believe we have to "study" obesity and subject innocent creatures to our delusion. To actually find out that a pregnant mother's diet affects her unborn children... That a terrible diet and inactivity will make you obese and will cause diabetes as well as social, psychological and emotional problems. Are you telling me we didn't know this? That we DON'T KNOW THIS? WHO DOESN'T KNOW THIS??? This country is turning into a bunch of fat, dumb cows. And that's actually insulting to cows.

I'm so fucking pissed right now I want to pepper spray Cynthia McFadden and kick her right in her cooch.

Or, we'll be well on your way to this...

And unfortunately, some of us are already there.

I believe that there's something called a "car jack", that one can use to change a tire. Rather than a tree limb and cinder blocks. You might want to check the trunk.

Where Hate Resides and Thrives

in

Ugly, Ugly, UGLY Americans in Orange County... Now, I'm not going to be as stupid and ridiculous as these demonstrators and generalize that ugly Americans only reside in Orange County. But, this is where this happened. And yes, it could've been "Anywhere USA".

This vile, disgusting, ignorant and hate-filled demonstration is a perfect example of why an innocent nine year old little girl was shot and killed in Arizona. Intolerance of people who have different opinions, different ideas, or who are just different.

These sick, sick people... There must be a portion of them that's dead inside. And they don't even know it.

I forced myself to watch this all the way through. Because the other "Christina Greenes" who had to listen to such filth directed at THEM, had no choice. To see the adults be screamed at heinously is bad enough, but to see the young children, to see them stop in their tracks, because fear and trepidation finally stopped their little feet from moving, shreds me...

These hate mongers... There is nothing good there. Nothing. No peace, no grace, no decency. Only hate.

Funny, they're exactly who they think those other people are...

Terrorists.

They're exactly who they hate.

Even Cavemen Cared About Art...

in

House Republicans Propose Cuts for Public Broadcasting, Arts and Humanities

It's estimated that the oldest cave paintings are 32,000 years old. Art has been making our lives bearable for a long time. It rises us up above our knuckles, quite literally. It's something divine, products of imagination that spark imagination. That gives comfort and solace, inspiration, invigoration, something to lift us up above a desperate, mundane existence. Otherwise, we really might as well be in a desert, dry-mouthed and parched, crawling, searching for shade and scratching for a few drips of water...

So, are we to devolve into what? Hillbilly shoot-outs at the O.K.-Fucking-Corral and Nascar?

Even cavemen cared about art, bishes... Even cavemen.

Big, Scary, Mean Smoke Monster

in

I'm... going... to... speak... very... very... slowly... for... the... delusional... in... the... group.

Although, I'm not going to continue to write slowly. Just read slowly if you need to... It's okay, no one is checking. And take notes if you have to.

Okay, "Global Warming" was just too much, because they were all like, (please read all following italicised text with a hillbilly dialect - thank you) "'Global Warmin' MY ASS! There's still snow in Winter and sometimes it gets really, really cold! Like, you know, below zero! And only Hitler knows what that is in that commie Celsius degree mumbo-jumbo those red-belly Euros use! This is just a way for Al Gore to make tons of money because he owns stock in trees and he wants people to plant trees. AND IT'S SNOWING IN WINTER FOR GEE-WILLY'S SAKE! And then 'they' mentioned hot cow farts and well, I just told Marge I don't believe it. HOT COW FARTS ARE RUINING THE PLANET?? COME ON!! I told Marge, I said, 'Marge, the only one trying to ruin the planet around here is that Al Gore! He wants to plant a bunch of gosh darn trees! We can't have TREES everywhere! You wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line or drive a car very far without hitting somepin' for gosh darn's sake! All the roads would be curvy and topsy-turvy and goin' around trees and I'd get car-sick! And I bet I wouldn't be the only one! Everyone would be throwing up and there'd be barf all over the place! And really, when was the last time you saw a tree help with ANYTHING!? I mean, they always droppin' leaves and twigs and those helicopter things and acorns and cloggin' the gutters and LORD ALMIGHTY!"

And then we talked about our "Carbon Footprint".

"Carbon Footprint"? Well, what in the heck are all y'all talkin' about!? I got skin on my foots. And sometimes I gots shoes on 'em. I ain't got no carbon on my foots! Carbon's in a printer, silly! And I bet 'carbon' is a French word! DARN FRENCH! Trying to own fries and everathang. Well, guess what. THEY'RE FREEDOM FRIES NOW! TAKE THAT!! I'll put my 'carbon' footprint right up your derriere. Get it, Marge? I said 'derriere' instead of ass. Funny, huh, Marge? Those darn French. They just smell anyway. IT'S PROLLY THEIR B-O THAT'S RUINING THE PLANET! For chriminity's sake! And "car-bon" sounds an awful lot like "car-bomb". I bet it's French-moslem talk for blowing things up! The French and those moslems are RUINING EVERATHANG!"

So... THEN they tried "Climate Change".

Well... I don't think that's cutting it either. Because then they've been all, "CLIMATE CHANGE! WELL, DUH!! IT'S CALLED WEATHER! Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't. I mean, really! I just told Marge about it the other day when we was standing outside the Piggly-Wiggly smoking our cigarettes. I told Marge, I did! I said, "Marge! Now, them commies are calling it "climate change"! Marge, it's called "weather". I mean, look. They point to some clouds up there and they start yellin'. And those people who suffered all those floods in Pack-It-Stan and the people who got wolloped in that big tidal wave over there in that Indamnesia place, well... I don't want to say nothin', but they ain't 'Christians'. And then, those people out there in that California with the fires and the earthquakes and the mudslides, well... I don't want to say nothin', but that whole state might as well just be Sodom and Gomorra. I mean, am I right, Marge? Spring springs, Summer's hot, Autumn leaves fall, and then it snows in Winter! It's called WEATHER. And sometimes it rains, and sometimes it doesn't. Baby Jesus is the only one who knows when it's going to rain! And Marge knew JUST what I was talkin' about..."

So, yeah. I think we just need to call it "Big, Scary, Mean Smoke Monster".

Oh, wait a minute...

I can just see it now.

"BIG, SCARY, MEAN SMOKE MONSTER!! COME ON!! You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! Marge? Did you hear that? Now, they're saying it's a "Big, Scary, Mean Smoke Monster"! Marge? Am I crazy? I mean how ridiculous is THAT! I mean, really... We ALL KNOW that that big, scary, mean smoke monster is on that island out there in the Pattsifi... Pattspecific... PatsyCline... IN THAT DARN OCEAN WHERE ALL THOSE DARK-SKINNED PEOPLE THAT AREN'T CHRISTIAN LIVE! But, those poor people crashed there on that island in that Documentary "Lost" that we used to watch... Member? And that big, scary, mean smoke monster would come out of the jungle and start throwing people up in the air and well... I think most of them was "Christian". I bet that smoke monster's a moslem. But you know what I just realized! They was from California! SEE, MARGE!! SINNERS!! But, Marge... I bet those lilly-livered commies watched that show and thought that smoke monster was some exhausted fumes or somepin' and ruinin' the planet by throwing people up in the air! They probably don't know that it can't leave that island! You know what? I can see where that could get confusin'."

So, maybe we should just go right for the money and call it... "Big, Bad, Commie Air - That Is Sometimes Invisible".

What do you think?

"Marge. MARGE! Did you hear what's goin' on? Marge... YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT. BUT, YOU GOT TO! It's terrible, Marge. There's somepin' called a "Big, Bad, Commie Air" thing goin' on. It's comin' out of cars and factories and... ... and... cow's butts and... It's even comin' out of Cheverolettes! It's scary, Marge. I bet it's those Japs that are doin' this. But, I had no idea that cows were communists. Did you know that, Marge? Now that I think of it, them cows always seem real secretive, you know? Like they just keep their heads down and don't say NOTHIN'. They leave enough grass for each other and just walk real slow like they're UP TO SOMEPIN'! And I never did trust nothin' with a bunch of nipples. You know what? There's not a doubt in my mind that this is Barack Hussein Obamalama's fault! Oh Lord, I just thought about all that milk Junior's been drinkin'! OH, MARGE, JUNIOR'S BEEN DRINKIN' COMMIE MILK! That's it! We gotta do somepin'! I'm gonna get Fred. I'm gonna get Fred to build us a bunker. FRED! FRED!! PUT THAT MILLER LITE DOWN RIGHT NOW! Go get a shovel and start diggin' a bunker. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'WHAT FER'? JUST DO IT! WE GOT TO HIDE FROM THAT COMMIE AIR!! Marge, I got to hang up. I'm going to Piggly Wiggly and stockin' up on canned goods and shot gun shells and cigarettes. Can never have enough Spaghetti O's or bullets or smokes."

M-A-S-S P-O-L-L-U-T-I-O-N is not up for debate.

We're treating the earth like garbage.

And just where else is it that we're suppose to live?

Crosshairs

She used crosshairs. Full-text of Palin's hateful Facebook post, which she calls a "first salvo," is here.

Hold Palin accountable for hate speech Peter Rosenstein, Washington Blade, January 08, 2011

"I add my thoughts and prayers to the outpouring of sympathy for the families of those who lost their lives and for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ family now praying for her recovery. I share the outrage that all decent people must feel today at this heinous act of violence that left so many dead and Congresswoman Giffords severely injured.

Sarah Palin and those like her using hate-filled language and symbols of violence can no longer escape responsibility for the anger and violence their words and actions incite. The time has come for everyone, on both sides of the political spectrum, to stand up to and shut down those who don’t understand what words mean and how they can incite others to violent acts..."

Don't Ask, TELL - Repeal This Bullshit Now

in

I know that you guys are an aware and active population, so please forgive the redundancy of posting links to socially minded and environmental progressive organizations. But, just in the event that you miss a few, or are new to this site, I'm going to continue to do so.

SO, if you haven't already, please take a moment to sign this petition from The Human Rights Campaign: The Pentagon report is in. Repeal DADT now!

It's about equality for all, not for some. It's about dignity and respect. It's about freedom.

Ignorance and bigotry have ruled long enough.

Silence is compliance.

Cindy McCain Is A Total Badass

in

I've written before about the McCain women stepping up. And I DO feel badly about ever saying that Cindy McCain was really a Klingon Warrioress dressed poorly in Dolce & Gabbana.

I also feel badly that she's still married to that... What did I call him? Oh yeah, "a ginned-up hobbit". Yeah. That's it. I imagine THAT'S why I thought she was a "Klingon Warrioress".

We'll blame my poor judgment on John McCain. And really, why wouldn't we?

So, yeah. Cindy McCain has stepped up AGAIN.

"Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future. They can't serve our country openly.

"Our government treats the LGBT community like second-class citizens. Why shouldn't bullies?" ~ Cindy McCain

Brava, Cindy, brava. I'm just sorry that you're still married to that ginned-up hobbit.

(See? Am I lying?) Although, I am fond of how you prod him. It's good for him. So, keep prodding. It keeps him on his hairy, stubby toes. Anyway, Cindy,... may I call you "Cindy"? Great. I like your style.

Theodore C. Sorensen, Kennedy Counselor and Wordsmith, Dies at 82 The New York Times, October 31, 2010

"When, in the late 1940's, we faced a global Cold War against another system of ideological fanatics certain that their authoritarian values would eventually rule the world, we prevailed in time. We prevailed because we exercised patience as well as vigilance, self-restraint as well as self-defense, and reached out to moderates and modernists, to democrats and dissidents, within that closed system."

"... Future historians studying the decline and fall of America will mark this as the time the tide began to turn - toward a mean-spirited mediocrity in place of a noble beacon."

~ Theodore Sorensen
