Burn Notice

It tells me, that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try *reading* books instead of *burning* them! Professor Henry Jones, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Well, another religiously insane bigot has captured the nations attention.
This fucktard in the name of Jeebus was going to sponsor a “Burn a Koran Day” in Gainesville, Florida on September 11th in the hopes of pointing out the evils of Islam.
The Rev. Terry Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center and author of “Islam is of the Devil”, is bleeding his fifteen minutes of fame drier than the tongue in the mouth of an infidel staked spread eagle in the Sahara Desert.
Update: As I am writing this, he is flip flopping and dancing around whether or not he will go through with it.
While those of you who know me, know that I am no more a fan of Islam than I am of Christianity, Scientology or any other silly ass belief, you do know that I am a HUUUGE fan of the first amendment.
This fucking idiot, and I am sorry that I am insulting fucking idiots all over the country by calling him that, has every bit the right to have his Jesus hates Islam BBQ.
Unless he's violating some city burn ordinance, let him have it.
Yeah this is going to piss the crazy bastards off but honestly, can we possibly piss them off anymore than bombing the fucking shit out of them like we've been doing for the better part of the last decade?
Instead of asking him to not do it, like some prominent leaders did, they should have just pointed at the goddam idiot and laughed like Hell.
They should have said, “See? We even let our batshit insane citizens have freedom of speech! After all, we are the home of Fox “News” for Christs sakes!”
They could have went on and said that the insane fringe society in no way speaks for the rational people of America. Hell, they have high paid speech writers, they could have come up with something that made the idiot Nazi look stupid and at the same time made themselves look patriotic.
Oh by the way, if you right wingers want us to stop comparing you to Nazis, QUIT ACTING LIKE ONE!
You know who the most famous fucking book burner in history is? Yeah, you got it! This motherfucker:
You leave your dumbasses wide fucking open to this comparison every time you bring up the book burning thing.
Seriously, what is it with social conservatives and book burnings?
Do books really represent such a threat to them that they have to destroy every one that they don't like?
Well, they don't read that much so they were told by Glenn Beck or some other hate monger not to like it.
I mean, I hate and disagree with Ann Coulter with every molecule of my body, but I have never advocated burning that evil cunts books.
Same with that idiot Sarah Palin. Since I don't agree or like what they say, I JUST DON'T BUY THEM! Not that hard. Plus I don't look like a fucking Nazi either.
Anyway, getting back to the religiously insane asshole from Florida, The last thing I heard from him say is that he will hold off his book torching if the so called Mosque in New York isn't built.
Comparing a book burning to the construction of a community center is so inane and asinine, it actually boggles the mind.
This idiot is going to milk this bullshit as long as he can. He will probably end up getting a Senior Islamic Expert job on Fox “News” for it.
Our corporate controlled media is going to cover this and distort it as much as possible in hopes that President Obama can say something that they can distort into stirring up more hatred for him and his policies.
They are doing this because they are nothing more than an organ for the Republican Party who wants to keep the Democrats and Obama on the defense trying to protect the Constitution.
Yeah, you hear that? The Constitution applies to Muslim-Americans too. I know that ain't popular right now, but they have as much of a right to their insanity as the talking snake crowd does.
If the media were really concerned with preachers with a message they would be covering that idiot from the “God Hates Fags” church. But that isn't politically viable for the Repugs right now because, for some reason they can't fathom, Americans don't seem to hate gays that much anymore.
Mexicans and Muslims are the new queers and niggers, and by-god they are gonna stir up that hate and spoon feed it to the open mouths of the hate mongering Christoids by the truck load.
So in summary, let the idiot have his “Burn a Koran Day”. The rest of us will observe 9-11 for what it was; a terrible day that three thousand Americans were murdered.
I believe most of the Muslim world will know that the book burning is not what we stand for. As far as the crazy-ass suicide bombers that will get riled up, they already hate us. And they will continue to hate us as long as we stay in their home and kill them.
I'm outta here. Gotta plan my Burn a Pig and Chicken slathered in KC BBQ Sauce Day on 9-11.

A Fifth of Crazy

Hey folks, Mr. Phidias (formerly Space Trucker) here.

A few days ago I posted a few tweets on Twitter about what 20% of the U.S. population believe after hearing that one in five Americans believe that President Obama is a Muslim.
While I was basically using factual information, I was mainly just snarking on social conservatives, religious wackos, and conspiracy nut jobs.
Thinking on this for a few days, I thought that I would expand on it some. Not being hampered to 140 character limitation of Twitter, perhaps I can improve on the subject.
It does vex me as why a fifth of the American population could be so batshit insane. Is it really insanity? I haven't really researched to see if it is geographical within the U.S. boarders. Does anyone know?
I bet here in the South it is a lot higher than twenty percent. And the reason why doesn't take Adrian Monk to solve that fucking mystery.
Thinking about this made me start remembering other twenty percent mysteries.
I remember reading somewhere years ago that Nixon had a 20% approval rating on the day he resigned in disgrace.
Doing a quick check on the Internets I found out that many other stupid ass things were believed by roughly 20% of Americans. Sometimes it was a little higher, sometimes a little less, but well within the 1 in 5 estimate ratio I am using here.
Here are a few other brain numbing factiods about our 20% brethren.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that the moon landings were a hoax. They believe this no matter how much you beat their heads in with mountains of evidence and logic. I work at NASA and there was a guy who used to work with me that believed it. I even busted him in front of one of the last living members of Von Braun's rocket team. To his credit he didn't back down, even with the old German getting red faced and pissed off.
Just imagine the size and scope of creating an Apollo moon mission hoax. Thousands of people would have to be in on it. The Russians would be screaming that it was a fraud as we were in a race with them to be the first there. Doesn't matter, these dumbasses will believe it no matter what you say or prove.
20% of U.S. citizens believe in magic and witches and shit. What can you say about that? Sheesh.
20% of U.S. citizens believe professional wrestling is real. These people can be dangerous.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that it is a proven scientific fact that woman was created from man by God removing a rib from his side and to this day, men have one fewer ribs than women. No shit.
20% of U.S. citizens think that George W. Bush was a great president. If you tell them any different, they are liable to fling their feces at you.
Getting back to President Obama, 20% of U.S. citizens still believe that he isn't an American citizen and that his birth certificate has yet to be seen. This includes prominent politicians like Senator Richard Shelby, (R- Nitwit) who said to a crowd of idiots that he doesn't know if he's a citizen or not, because he personally hasn't seen the birth certificate.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that Tokyo is the capitol of China.
Hey. It gets worse, people.
20% of U.S. citizens think that humans and dinosaurs coexisted together a few thousand years ago.
20% of U.S. citizens think that the sun rotates around the Earth.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that Mt. Rushmore is a natural phenomenon.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that Elvis is still alive. A similar percentage can be said the same of Jim Morrison and Tupac Shakur (sp?) when polling those that are familiar with their music.
20% of U.S. citizens think that Hitler didn't commit suicide and managed to escape the Allies along with Mengele and other Nazis.
20% of U.S. citizens believe there are space aliens living among us. Hear that Lou Dobbs?
20% of U.S. citizens can not locate the United States on a fucking globe.
20% of U.S. citizens can not tell you which country the United States declared independence from.
20% of U.S. citizens have no idea how many branches of the U.S. government their are, let alone name them.
20% of U.S. citizens do not know who won the Civil War. I bet most of those are Yankees because here in the South, they ain't never gonna forget.
20% of U.S. citizens think that Jesus wrote the Bible. I guess he must have dictated while he was nailed to the cross.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that Jesus spoke English. In Shakespearean style prose no less.
20% of U.S. citizens don't think that bacon, pork chops, baby back ribs, sausage, and ham all come from the same animal.
20% of U.S. citizens believe that it was Saddam Hussein that attacked us on 9-11.
It would be great if they were all the same 20%. Unfortunately it is not.
My theory is that one in five people are born stupid and borderline insane. Depending on their environment they are in determines what kind of batshit nonsense they believe.
Next time you are with four other people. Try to determine which one is the nut job, if they all seem normal, guess what?
Man, just imagine if it really was all the same 20 percent? That mailing list would be gold! Priceless! You can sell anything to those ass clowns.
Later people.
Mr. Phidias-
Part of the 20 percent who think blogging will make a difference in the world.

Jedi Mind Trick

From time to time, I receive forwarded email from a right leaning friend who finds Glen Beck amusing (gag, sputter) and thinks that liberal bashing is a fun afternoon activity. Mostly, I recognize those mail and simply hit delete without opening it up. However, from time to time, I open the email to see what kind of shit is being floated around in the webosphere to poison weak minded fools and induce them to spread the joy by forwarding the swill around.

Case in point. I got an email today that read, paraphrased, in part:

Here is something everyone will be able to say thank you to Obama and his greedy Cronies for. So think about this on Nov. 2, 2010 when you go to vote.

Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions are now subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 (presumably after Obamas re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes.

Is this Hope & Change great or what?

Here's more good news.

2011 W-2 Tax Forms and Obamacare

If this doesn't get to you, then check your pulse. You may be a
flatline...

Starting in 2011-next year-the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be
increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided. and on and on ad nauseam.

Folks, these email are made up by people who have nothing substantive to say, so they make stuff up that appeals to emotional triggers already set to fire over the election of a black man as President. They are not truthful and are circulated like a Jedi mind trick to appeal to the non-thinkers out there (the weak minded fools) to influence how they think and vote. So, before you hit forward, check the email out. http://www.scopes.com/ It doesn't take long and will keep you from looking like a weak minded fool.

Reinvention of the Boogie Man (aka Raw Hide and Bloody Bones)

While traveling through Tennessee this past weekend, I had the occasion to witness the reinvention of a legend. I make the trek to Sparta, Tennessee every 2nd Saturday in August to Decoration Day, a colloquial term only recognizable by true old style Southerners, and I've been doing this most of my life. One of the things I can remember from these trips when I was a child was that my cousins and I formed a loud, rowdy horde at my grandmother's house and did all the unsafe and unreasonable things that could be expected when you had several related children together on a summer afternoon without TV and air conditioning. That was a different time. My Grandmother's method of getting us in line involved the vague threat that "Ole Raw Hide and Bloody Bones is going to come get all of you if you don't behave" I spent many nights imagining just what such a creature would look like.

While I never saw an illustration of Grandma's boogie man, lately I have been hearing talk and witnessing fear of boogie men. On the side of one of the roads in Tennessee, I saw a large painted sign in the front of a home. It had in large red letters outlined in black the word "OBAMA" and then below "hates the Bible!" There was more, but I can't share that with you because one, I'm blind and couldn't see it and two, the kind of fanatic that would write something like this scares the shit out of me, and I didn't stop to take a closer look. This is not the only example I've seen lately. The Boogie Man is a ~gasp~ liberal, a ~gasp~ socialist, a ~gasp~ muslim. The Boogie Man has invaded the White House, the Capital Building, Ground Zero, all the States that border Mexico and is much touted amidst tears of angst as the "undoing of this country." Grandma could not have envisioned it better.

Shriners

There are so many causes I believe in strongly, it's hard to decide which ones to donate to. My limited income allows for only a few small donations a year.
One organization I always remember to give to is Shriners Hospital for children.
My reasons for that are as clear as family. In 1974 Shriners paid for the doctors, surgery and eye glasses that saved my niece's eyesight.
Now Shriners hospital is stepping up again, providing surgery, braces, and the expensive special foot wear to treat my 7 month old granddaughter's severe club feet.

I urge everyone to donate to this awesome organization. It is for the children and what cause could be better than that?

To learn more and perhaps make a donation, please check out their web sight.

The times they are a-changing

I know I've talked a bit about the slavery system our prisons have become. Now I've started an petition to close the loophole in the thirteenth amendment that has for too long allowed this to go on.
Please watch the video and then go sign.

Fox, Fucktards, and Funnies

As we watch as Fox "News" yet again gets busted for journalistic
inepitude, those of us who haven't yet drank of Murdocks Kool-Aid
can't help but wonder how much longer will this joke of a network be
taken seriously?
What really gets my goat is, not only southern fucktards are being
hoodwinked by this organ of the Republican Party, but evidenty so is
the Obama administration.
How many times will they fire or force a resignation from one of there
own, simply because an idiot like Beck Hannity, or Brietbart, who has
absoultely no credibility with thinking people, distorts or out right
lies about an Obama underling?
Fox "News" serves two purposes. First is to make sure that the
corporate interests are protected. Second is to boost ratings among
the Christoids and Fucktards living in the Red States by appealing to
the lowest common denominator.
The rubes in the backwoods of Alabama, Tennessee, ect eat that
bullshit up like a starving hobo on a plate of gravy and biscuits.
Fox "News" has gotten very clever with their subtle messaging.
While standing in a TSA screening line this morning at Huntsville
Airport, a blathering cock sucker on their so called "Morning News"
was throwing code words out like " liberal" to his monkey audience.
While most thinking people never would consider "liberal" a dirty
word, the Fox audience does.
Thanks to the Bastard Regan, the fucker Gingrich, AM Hate Radio, and
of course Fox, no politician can ever apply the "L" word to himself.
So the Fox asshole trying to act all professional and independant,
just covering the news, managed to throw the liberal word in a dozen
times in a fucking minute.
This is what Fox does. They are not there to inform people. They are
there to spread lies about people they don't like.
How can anyone believe these clowns? It is simple.
The Fox bosses know their audience. And they know that if anyone can
believe that the human race exists in part because of a talking
snake... The will believe any fucking thing.
