The American Family Association Continues its campaign to be the Worst Organization in America

And of course, it's Bryan Fischer leading the way!

He starts out this entry in the looney-toons batshittery championships sounding relatively sane. In football, this is known as a "juke." Gets you thinkin' he's goin' one way, then bam! he's gone the other!

Ignoring the insane headline, the article begins thusly:

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 10:18 AM

The Medal of Honor will be awarded this afternoon to Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta for his heroism in Afghanistan, and deservedly so. He took a bullet in his protective vest as he pulled one soldier to safety, and then rescued the sergeant who was walking point and had been taken captive by two Taliban, whom Sgt. Giunta shot to free his comrade-in-arms.

Okay, sounds like a straight news story about a soldier acting heroically. But with the AFA, no news story is ever really "straight." Everything is secretly, villainously gay. The gays, they're everywhere! Help!

Oh, here's the headline we skipped over:

The Feminization of the Medal of Honor

Yeah. He's serious.

But I have noticed a disturbing trend in the awarding of these medals, which few others seem to have recognized.

(here's a good rule of thumb, Bryan. If you're the only one who recognizes a trend, that trend probably doesn't exist. Your track record is really not good in this area.)

We have feminized the Medal of Honor.

According to Bill McGurn of the Wall Street Journal, every Medal of Honor awarded during these two conflicts has been awarded for saving life. Not one has been awarded for inflicting casualties on the enemy. Not one.

How can you be heroic if you're not killing anyone? Just saving someone else's life, that's not masculine. Girls do that! I mean seriously, look at these namby-pamby Mr. Fancypants girly-men:

 

  

 

I mean, what is this, a Village People reunion?

When we think of heroism in battle, we used the think of our boys storming the beaches of Normandy under withering fire, climbing the cliffs of Pointe do Hoc while enemy soldiers fired straight down on them, and tossing grenades into pill boxes to take out gun emplacements.

That kind of heroism has apparently become passe when it comes to awarding the Medal of Honor. We now award it only for preventing casualties, not for inflicting them. 

Goddammit, I want to see some fuckin' carnage! 'Cuz that's what Jeezus would want.

By the way, if you read the first paragraph of your own article, Bryan, you'd see that Sgt. Giunta " rescued the sergeant who was walking point and had been taken captive by two Taliban, whom Sgt. Giunta shot to free his comrade-in-arms."

So shooting two enemy guys is not enough for ya? And according to the President's speech, "He leapt forward. He took aim. He killed one of the insurgents and wounded the other, who ran off."

Is that really not enough to satisfy your blood-lust?

So the question is this: when are we going to start awarding the Medal of Honor once again for soldiers who kill people and break things so our families can sleep safely at night?

 

I got nothin'! I just don't know how to respond to such an insane and awful question.

I would suggest our culture has become so feminized that we have become squeamish at the thought of the valor that is expressed in killing enemy soldiers through acts of bravery. We know instinctively that we should honor courage, but shy away from honoring courage if it results in the taking of life rather than in just the saving of life. So we find it safe to honor those who throw themselves on a grenade to save their buddies.

 

Oh, my God, I wish that was true! I think the world would be a better place if we really were squeamish about honoring violence and eager to honor those who save lives (or as you say, Just the saving of life.) 

Jesus, in words often cited in ceremonies such as the one which will take place this afternoon, said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). So it is entirely right that we honor this kind of bravery and self-sacrifice, which is surely an imitation of the Lord of Lord and King of Kings.

 

Okay, stop. Just stop right there. That actually was pretty sane and you didn't sound like a total asshole. Just end on that note and. . . Oooooohhh.  . . you're gonna say more things, aren't you?

 

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). So it is entirely right that we honor this kind of bravery and self-sacrifice, which is surely an imitation of the Lord of Lord and King of Kings.

However, Jesus’ act of self-sacrifice would ultimately have been meaningless - yes, meaningless - if he had not inflicted a mortal wound on the enemy while giving up his own life.

 

Oh, yeah. That was my favorite part, when Jesus is all "yo, St. Peter, throw me that sword!" And then he kills Pontious Pilate and he says "do unto others, Bitch!"

Okay, Okay, I know that by "the enemy" you mean the Devil, or "sin" or whatever, and by "Mortal wound" you mean, um, I'm not really sure. Because you're not saying that the Devil is dead, are you?

 

 

 

The significance of the cross is not just that Jesus laid down his life for us, but that he defeated the enemy of our souls in the process. It was on the cross that he crushed the head of the serpent. It was on the cross that “he disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).

So, let me see if I got this straight. You're equating a symbolic victory in which the victor is the only one who dies with an actual real-life victory in which the victor kills the other guy?  And then the authorities get disarmed? I don't get it.

The cross represented a cosmic showdown between the forces of light and the forces of darkness, and our commanding general claimed the ultimate prize by defeating our unseen enemy and liberating an entire planet from his bondage.

We rightly honor those who give up their lives to save their comrades. It’s about time we started also honoring those who kill bad guys.

 

Seriously, Bryan, Jesus never killed anyone. I spent a lot of hours in Sunday School and Bible classes, and not once did Jesus ever kill anyone. He raised a couple of people from the dead, maybe that's what you're thinking of? He yelled at a few jerks, and knocked over some tables once, but he never killed anybody. I don't think Jesus was a big fan of killing. I'm pretty sure it's one of the things he said that we shalt not do. But I guess in your twisted, stupid, hateful little world, it's better to be a stone-cold killer than to be a bit, you know, "femmie?" A little "light in the loafers?" Better that you should live with the horror of having killed a fellow human being than that you take a chance on accidentally catching the gay. Because in your horrible little world, there's nothing worse than that.

This is the Dumbest Beck Conspiracy Theory Yet.

I guess Beck is starting to run out of Soros-related material.



Putting aside the fact that the "Tower of Babel" probably never existed, putting aside the fact that if it did exist, there is certainly no record of what it might have looked like, what would be the point of replicating the Tower of Babel? How would this benefit the nefarious villains of the EU? If you're going to posit a wild conspiracy theory, you at least have to put in a little effort into coming up with a goal for the conspirators. How would building a replica of the Biblical tower of Babel help them take over the world or amass large sums of money, or whatever their ends are? Geezus, Beck, you're not even trying anymore!

On a side note, the Tower of Babel story is one of the stranger stories to make it into the Canon. A bunch of people start building a tower. I don't really know what the point was of building a tower, what purpose a huge tower would have served a primitive nomadic hunter-gatherer society, but for whatever reason they start building.

Now somehow God, the all-knowing, all-seeing deity, doesn't really know what they are up to, so he has to come down from his cloud to have a look-see.

Gen. 11:5 - But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 

And when he sees what they are building, he apparently feels a little intimidated.

Gen. 11:6 - The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

 Of course, if he really wanted to put a stop to all this tower-building activity, I could think of a simpler solution:

 

 

That'd be the last tower those punks ever built!

Where the Hell is My Government-Run Healthcare Which I totally Oppose?!?!

GOP frosh: Where's my health care?

By GLENN THRUSH | 11/15/10 9:54 PM EST Updated: 11/16/10 7:59 PM EST

A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in.

Really? Aren't you the guy whose website says this:

the answer to the ever-rising cost of insurance is not the expansion of government-run or government-mandated insurance but, instead, common-sense market based solutions

And isn't this you also?

Defund, repeal, & replace federal care with free market.

Harris signed the Contract From America

The Contract from America, clause 7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care:

Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling

Source: The Contract From America 10-CFA07 on Jul 8, 2010

Repeal any federal health care takeover.

Harris signed Club for Growth's "Repeal-It!" Pledge

Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.

“He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,” said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange.

What indeed? Whatever will you do for health insurance for those 28 days? I would think you would be grateful that at least for those 28 days, you would be free from the oppressive tyranny of government-run socialist death-panel healthcare.

 

How awful it must be for you! I can't think of anyone else who has ever faced such a daunting. . . oh, wait. I can think of about 51 million people who could empathize. 

 

Number of uninsured Americans rises to 50.7 million

By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY

 

But don't worry, if you work hard at it, you can have that damn government healthcare bill repealed by the time your government healthcare kicks in. 

Asshole!

Conservatives Get Even More Pathetic

Apparently, there is an actual movement afoot on the interwebs to make Bristol Palin the winner of "Dancing With The Has-Beens." Why? Why would anyone besides Bristol's awful awful family care? Apparently, according to Jezebel, it's because if she wins this stupid dancing-poorly-to-bad-music competition, it will mean a great triumph for conservatives and piss off the Democrats? Or something?

Seriously, I typed "vote for Bristol Palin" into the Google and got over one milllllllllllion results!

This is from a website/blog/thingy called "Hillbuzz":

Call-in Number:  1-800-868-3407

Please don’t forget to vote for Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars tonight.
The call-in number is above.
You also need to vote for her online afterwards…at www.ABC.com on the Dancing with the Stars page.
You can start calling the moment the show starts…and you can call as many times as the phone will let you.  After that, use someone else’s phone to call the maximum times on that.  Then — and I am not telling you to do this — it would not be a bad thing to randomly knock on neighbors’ doors and use their phones and call, call, call, and then call some more.
Then vote like nuts online with all of your email addresses.

If you haven’t heard, the fact we’ve been all doing this for Bristol has been driving the Left NUTS.  People magazine, Huffington Post, and other Lefty sites have all been going bonkers over the fact that Palin supporters have been burning up the phones to keep Bristol in the competition through the finale…despite the judges giving her shockingly low scores to try to eliminate her.

Of course the judges are conspiring against her. Of course they are.

This is from "Conservatives4Palin"

To vote for Bristol, call 1-800-868-3407.

Text-in code - 3407.

Vote online here: http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/vote

I have no idea how many times you're allowed to vote. Just vote until they won't let you vote anymore.

 Yep, that has already been "re-tweeted" by twenty different people.

This is from "The Conservative Cave":

I thought I'd make this easy for everyone. A little early make-the-libs-crazier-than-the-shithouse-rats-they-already-are action.

Just so you know, you don't have to wait for the end of the show to vote; it may be possible to vote even earlier, but I know you can start voting by 9 pm Eastern Time, which is halfway through the show. So whether you watch or not, vote for Bristol, and make the libs' heads explode pre-election.

 

 And of course, the geniuses at Free Republic (who refer to themselves as "Freepers" or something, hence the term "FReep DWTS")

FReep DWTS! Make liberal heads explode and vote for Bristol Palin tonight, you don't need to watch.

Keep calling 1-800-868-3407 between 8-10:30 EST until they tell you to stop. And you can vote on every line you have, cell, fax and land line.

I apologize if this is lame and I've never voted for a show in my life but she has been recieving tea party support even though she is not the best dancer by consistently being in the top 3 in viewer votes every week.

You may not be a fan of the show or even Bristol but I firmly believe her continued success on the show demonstrates the power of the tea party. PLEASE VOTE!

 Wow. Just, wow. They actually think that people give a shit who wins the pseudo-celebrity dance-off! Could they be any more pathetic?

James O'Keefe Continues to be Beneath Contempt

What kind of pathology does it take to be James O'Keefe? What could possibly have gone wrong in this little ratfuck's life to make him decide "I'm going to dedicate my life to defaming and harming people who are trying to do a little good in the world?"

James O’Keefe’s latest victim: A special ed teacher

4:29 pm November 15, 2010, by Jay Bookman

At one point, in a conversation about teacher tenure, Ploshnick told the attentive young man how hard it was to fire a tenured teacher. To prove her point, she told her admirer a story about a fellow teacher who had actually called a student the N-word, but the teacher had merely been demoted, not fired.

As happens with many a bar story, the story itself was apparently false. But in telling it, Ploshnick used the N-word herself.
Ploshnick had no idea that she was being audiotaped. A couple of months later, O’Keefe ambushed her outside her apartment with a video camera, demanding to know whether she’d ever used the N-word. The secretly made audiotape became a central part of an O’Keefe video called “Teachers Unions Gone Wild,” filmed in the same bar during a statewide teachers convention.
(In the O’Keefe video below, the Ploshnick segment begins at 0.25 minutes. The video opens with a secretly taped phone conversation between an assistant school superintendent and an actor who falsely complains that his child had been called the N-word.)

And here's a little somehting about this teacher, Alissa Ploshnick:

(from Bob Braun/Star-Ledger Columnist)

Alissa Ploshnick risked her life to save the lives of a dozen Passaic schoolchildren. She threw herself in front of a careening van to protect her students and landed in the hospital with broken ribs, a fractured wrist, a badly bruised pelvis and glass cuts in her eyes. She could have died.
The president of the United States, Bill Clinton then, sent her a letter. It read:
"I recently heard about your act of heroism and wanted to commend you for your selflessness. True heroes are rare in today’s world. And, all too often, those who are really making a difference in our communities go unnoticed and unrewarded. I am delighted to be able to give you the recognition you deserve. You are an example for all of us, and I applaud you for your sense of duty.’’

 

Amanda Brown/The Star-LedgerAlissa Ploshnick, a special education teacher from Passaic, had her conversation about teacher tenure videotaped without her knowledge. It was posted on the internet.

So that's who O'Keefe is targeting this time. A woman who not only spends her days teaching special-needs children, but once risked her own life to protect some of them. And this little bag of shit James O'Keefe, a man with all the dignity and bearing of a volunteer janitor at a Japanese porn studio, this pathetic little man is going after her. And of course, it works:

Ploshnick was suspended by the Passaic district for nine days
and denied a pay raise worth a few thousand dollars.

All because NJ governor Chris Christie has a hard-on for the teachers' union. 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, engaged in a political war against the teachers union over pay and other issues, has cited O’Keefe’s videos as evidence that the teachers union is out of control. 

Because why should the people we entrust with the education of our children be allowed to make a decent living, ya know? So sure, let's smear someone who is trying to make the world a tiny bit better. Fuck her! If her career has to be sacrificed in order to prove a false point in the right-wing narrative, hey all's fair in conservative attack politics, right? 

Someone needs to sue this little prick into the poorhouse. I heard that Shirley Sherrod was exploring the possibility. I don't know why whatever remnants of ACORN are left haven't already done it. This is never going to stop unless slimy little rodent droppings like O'Keefe are made to face some kind of consequences. Consequences serious enough that they outweigh the fun of being a FOXified celebrity.

And why hasn't he been prosecuted for his little stunt at Mary Landrieu's office? 

And why isn't he being repeatedly punched in the crotch? 

Dante' will have to invent a new circle of Hell for guys like O'Keefe. In this circle, he stands naked in a cold room while one attractive woman after another comes in and points and laughs at his tiny penis. (I don't know if his penis is really tiny, but I'm sure the Devil could arrange for a shrinkening) Then once an hour someone punches him in the crotch. And all the pretty women laugh and laugh.
