This thing on my finger doesn't really do anything

 

It's Purely Thimbolic.

Ouch! A couple more of those and I'll have to move this blog to Tumblr!

Democrats reinstate ‘God-given’ and Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to party platform

Democrats reinstate ‘God-given’ and Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to party platform

By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 1 hr 49 mins ago

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Facing unhappy pro-Israel groups amid a Republican-led outcry, Democrats gathered Wednesday at their presidential nominating convention made 11th-hour changes to the party platform to reinstate a reference to God and a declaration that "undivided" Jerusalem is Israel's capital.

Oh, good. I'm sure now that you've appeased the wingnuts, the Israel lobby and the Republicans, they'll all just leave you alone and let you get on with governing.



Seriously, do you guys have to capitulate to every "Republican-led outcry?" Can't you just once stand up and say no?

Why is this a thing?

Right rallies for 'Empty Chair Day'

Oaky, the way I understand this, everyone laughed at Clint Eastwood's  argument with an empty chair. Some on the right were offended by this. So they organized a movement to stick up for the chair? Am I missing something?

The right rallied on Labor Day to celebrate “National Empty Chair Day,”  The action picked up steam on Twitter, where the hashtag #emptychairday began trending on Monday morning as users tweeted pictures of empty chairs in various poses.

Poses? How many poses are chairs really capable of? Let's see:



Obama has no plan for the country, except for the one we've been obstructing from day one!


 
David Bradbury Stewart


 Obama is just like Lincoln


 I think he means that as an insult. I also think he's an idiot. Because who says someone is "just like Lincoln," then thinks "Zing! I sure told him!"?


Rosemary Castanza
 still out there,,,,,,,,,,,, right by the road. I made the words SO they can understand better around here,I hope


 



Yeah, you have to make the words make sense, not just "make the words."

Anyway, bak to the story.

Notable conservatives like Michelle Malkin and writers at Breitbart.com, as well blogger Prof. Glenn Reynolds, kicked off the trend, according to the conservative blog Legal Insurrection.
“It’s fun. It’s funny,” Malkin explained to POLITICO.

 

AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! FUNNY!

 

“It’s fun. It’s funny,” Malkin explained to POLITICO. “Clint Eastwood resonated with voters outside the snotty, derisive NY-DC-Hollywood axis.

 

Okay, couple of things. First, everyone laughed at Clint Eastwood. Not just in NY or LA or DC.  The only two possible reactions to Eastwood's fiasco are to laugh or to pity him. Second, no one is more snotty and derisive as you. Third, Eastwood didn't resonate. Even if he had delivered his presentation with the timing of Jack Benny and the eloquence of Jack Kennedy, he was blaming Obama for not fixing Bush's economic mess fast enough and slamming him for supporting the Afghan War which Bush started and everyone but Barbara Lee voted for. It was pathetic.

 

As conservatives have pointed out on Twitter, AMC is capitalizing on this national conversation with a Monday marathon of Eastwood’s films.

 

I'm not sure what point that is supposed to make. AMC thinks they can get a little ratings bump by showing the films of an actor who has been in the news lately. So what? Maybe people want to be reminded of Eastwood pre-senility?  Is that supposed to indicate support for Eastwood's political stances?

 

Also big supporters of meth dealers and zombie hunters.

 

 

So, anyway, brace yourself for facebook posts, "Tweets" and e-mails from your crazy uncle featuring empty chairs.

 

I can't put an empty chair in my yard. It's too busy bowing to foreign leaders. #EmptyChairDay pic.twitter.com/Na77S7a1

Republicans Pray to Satan at the GOP Convention as Romney and His Surrogates Lie to Make Mainstream the Mormon Cult

Contact: Rev. William Keller, LivePrayer.com, 727-420-7005 

Yes, we need more of these nut-ball reverends telling their flocks not to vote for Republicans because of the scary scary Mormons.

 

Terrifying!

ST PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 131, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bill Keller, the world's leading Internet Evangelist and the founder of LivePrayer.com, with over 2.4 million subscribers worldwide reading the Daily Devotional he has written every morning for 13 years on the issues of the day from a Biblical worldview, was horrified as he watched a Mormon cult member lead mostly Biblical Christians at the Republican Convention last night in a prayer to Satan, since Mormons do not pray to the God of the Bible, but to a mythical "god" they believe who was once a man!

Hmm, a god who was once a man? Why does that sound vaguely familiar . . . .

  

Mormons like Romney believe the Bible is a flawed and an incomplete book, 

To be fair, it is a little light on character development. I mean, the guy is born perfect, lives a perfect life, then dies perfect. What kind of a character arc is that?

"Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, and all Mormons LIE that they are Christians, when their beliefs are in 100% contradiction to Biblical Christianity. They love to tout their charity and good works as Romney and his surrogates did at the GOP convention to influence people, but good works and charity do NOT make you a Christian,

Only hating the gays does that, apparently.

 Keller is disgusted that the media is so theologically ignorant of what Mormons believe,

Because really, the job of a journalist is mostly to explain complex theological principles.

He said in a recent interview that the better percentage of two full generations have never even been in church,

What? Where the hell would you come up with that? Almost everyone has been in a church, at least for a wedding or a funeral or something. 

. . . if Romney is elected President his cult will become mainstream and well over 1 million souls in this country alone will end up buying into the false gospel of the Mormon cult and their souls spending forever in hell.

Because most folks choose their religion based on what does the president believe?

 

Currently America's most popular minister

Keller recently set up a sister site to his 13 year site Liveprayer.com that is the world's largest interactive Christian website, www.votingforjesus.com, encouraging people to say no to the anti-God President Obama and the satanic cult member Mitt Romney, by writing in the name of JESUS for President

Anti-God? Barack Obama can't be anti-God, he worships at least two of them! (You know, 'cuz the Muslim thing. And the Rev Wright thing. Never mind.)

. . . writing in the name of JESUS for President to make a statement that the real problems of this nation are NOT political, but spiritual. So far, over 360,000 have made that commitment!

 Oh please, oh please, oh please let those people live in swing states!
