More Wackos

Missouri State Representative, Rick Brattin (R), has proposed a bill “which would require a woman seeking an abortion to obtain notarized consent from the baby’s father, even if he is physically abusive toward her."
    
A woman would have to prove she suffered a “legitimate rape” to avoid getting a man’s consent for an abortion.

Brattin's bill probably won’t go anywhere but he’s proven once again the Missouri legislature has at least one scumbag.


Ted Nugent, who occupies a special place at the bottom of the barrel, called President Obama a “subhuman mongrel.”   Doesn't this wacko claim to love Jeebus?
   
 
Bill O’Reilly, that great American scholar who has a book ghost-written about every two weeks these days, has proclaimed that he has “won the “War on Christmas” again!  Why would he say that?  Well, he doesn’t know of one store that won’t allow employees to greet customers with “Merry Christmas.”

 
I never thought I would agree with the Donald about anything, but the other day he said “The last thing we need is another Bush in the White House.”  Of course we wouldn't want any Trump, either!


In Michigan, one Rick Jones (a Repugnican State Senator), is afraid Satan is going to win by “hijacking” Christmas.  Well, Mr. Jones is not going to let that happen, so after the Satan Temple got approval to put up a holiday display on the lawn of the State Capitol, Jones decided that he would put a Xtn nativity scene on the Capitol lawn, even it has to be erected and taken down every night.  It’s interesting how hard this Xtn legislator works to get an erection.


Rand Paul is trying to get the law changed or at least find some loophole so that he can run both for the Senate and the Presidency in 2016.  Isn’t it funny how these God-fearing Repugs just love the “law” until the law becomes an inconvenience?


The Jesus-loving gov of Ariz, Jan Brewer, issued an executive order blocking the state from giving driver licenses to young undocumented immigrants who are in line to get deportation relief from the Obama Administration.  Wouldn’t want these young folks to be able to get jobs and make enough money to survive, would we?  The Supremes, though, said she couldn’t do that.  Guess which of the Supremes voted against the kids:  Right!  Scalia, Thomas and Alito.


Blake Farenthold is just a downright dirty scumbag Republican Congressman from Texas.  He owns a website, www.blow-me.org, and is being sued by a former employee who claim she suffered from “gender discrimination and inappropriate sexual comments.”  He’s done many inappropriate things but the one that stands out is his telling a staffer he had wet dreams about her.


Charisma magazine calls him a Bible scholar.  Ha!  He’s just another fundy who can probably quote hundreds of verses from the Bible and not know what any of them really mean.  He’s the prez of the World Bible Society, and his name is F. Kenton Beshore, nicknamed Doc.  Back in the 1970s, the kook Hal Lindsey, predicted that Jesus would return within a biblical generation or about 40 years after 1948.  Beshore points out that that Jesus did not come back in 1988.  Really?  But the problem is that a biblical generation is actually 70-80 years, says Beshore, because of Psalm 90:10.  So, now, finally we’ve got the truth:  The 2nd coming will happen between 2018 and 2028.  But “Taking into account the seven-year Tribulation period, Beshore expects the rapture to occur sometime between now and 2021.”  Beshore is 86 and reported has 5 doctoral degrees in theology.  Whoopee.  A degree is only as good as where it comes from…what a crock this all is!

Rick Santorum is going to run for president again.  He says he’s an underdog and American loves underdogs and he’s prepared for a dogfight.  Sounds about right.  Woof!


Phyllis Schlafly, a nogoodnik who made her bones as an anti-feminist back in the good ol’ days of the John Birch Society, is a true wacko and a liar.  In a recent article for the Christian Post, she wrote “The Obama administration is now trying to outlaw single-sex classrooms, a practice that has been growing as parents and teachers see its good results.  That’s not true.  Some individual schools have tried this system with mixed results but Obama’s not involved in this discussion


John McCain, the failed presidential candidate, crook from the word go, and POW with questionable credentials, is pissed at the President because Sony.  It didn’t take him very long to blame Mr. Obama for the Sony hack; it resulted from “the Administration’s failure to deter our adversaries…”  Oh, and bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

Good Tidings and Buy My Book - Sarah Palin

Laugh your heart out as she stumbles through her "War on Christmas" recitation!

Dunderheads and Duggars

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are an Arkansas (Tonitown) family too long on the farm.  They've got 19 kids at the moment and no one would be surprised if more aren't on the way.

Talk about a massive environmental footprint!  The kids are growing up, and doubtless most will get married and have their own massive families and oh dear god when will it end?

You have maybe heard about the Duggars before.  They've got their own reality show on TeeVee called - you guessed it - "19 Kids and Counting."  It's on the Learning Channel.  Boy is that an oxymoronic kind of situation.  Obviously, the Duggars haven't learned a damn thing.

Why would any couple in this day and age bring so many kids into the world?  What possible reason, other than transcendent insanity or sexual addiction would prompt such behavior?  Oh, maybe religion!

Back in April, Amanda Marcotte, in an article at The Daily Beast, "Sex Scandal Rocks the Duggars' Christian Patriarchy Movement," noted that the Duggars are part of "a fringe strain of fundamentalist Christianity dubbed the 'Christian patriarchy' or sometimes the 'Quiverfull' movement, and while there is a lot of internal diversity to the movement, they generally preach a combination of beliefs that run counter to mainstream America: absolute female submission, a ban on dating, homeschooling, a rejection of higher education for women, and shunning of contraception in favor of trying to have as many children as humanly possible."

Like many fundy Christians, they often hide their rabid ideology behind sweet smiles and pious blather.  That means, says Ms. Marcotte, that Michelle Duggar is "able to act like she's just like any other reality TV star, giving sex tips and sharing recipes.  Jim Bob has also been able to turn their fame into an opportunity to get political power, chumming around with presidential candidates and speaking at more mainstream conservative events."

All of this is a planned "charm offensive," claims Marcotte, that has "softened up resistance. ... The fact that Republicans have started to step up the anti-contraception rhetoric lately appears, in part, to be the result of this tiny group of extremists [sic] Christians putting a smiley face on absolutist anti-contraception sentiments."


Actually, these fundy goofballs are not following Jesus at all.  They may call themselves "Christians" but they have taken bits and pieces of the bible, and then twisted those to serve their own purposes to create a monstrous whirlpool of religious goofiness.  And because for so many people the word, Christian, denotes godliness and goodness, they're able to get away with promoting their nonsense as if it came from the Lord himself.

The Duggars come out of the same mold as the rest of the right wing fanatics - strip them of their "Christian" facade, and you'll find self-righteous bigots who are antigay, anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-gay marriage, anti-women, anti-public schools - basically just run-of-the-mill FAUX News followers.

It's their religion, though, that gets them into trouble.  In their belief system. women exist for the male leaders of the movement.  The job of women is to have as many children as possible.  Men, especially those in leadership positions, are patriarchs of the world and women must be subservient to them and obey them.

The Patriarchy movement also promotes the idea that personhood begins at the moment of conception, and opposes abortion for any reason.  One Duggar daughter, Jessa, has gone so far as to compare abortion to the Holocaust.

As far as religious affiliation goes, they claim to be “independent Baptists,” which means very little for religious kooks set up shop everyday in some corner of the universe and call themselves "Baptists," even though they disagree on every issue except baptism by immersion.

All the children are homeschooled, which, unfortunately means a ton of people are growing up ignorant and bigoted.  The Duggar children are also subject to very strict rules as to clothing and the people with whom they can associate.  Ms. Marcotte said dating is banned, but I think not.  I think after a certain age, one is allowed to date so long as their is a chaperone present.


The Patriarchy movement has received some bad publicity of late due to allegations of child abuse and adultery.  One of the "leaders," Doug Phillips, president of Vision Forum Ministries, admitted to "a lengthy, inappropriate relationship with a woman" [not his wife] and resigned his presidency.  Eventually, Vision Forum Ministries went under.

Bill Gothard, the other main leader of the movement, who headed up an outfit called the "Institute in Basic Life Principles," also resigned his position not long ago after a number of allegations of sexual abuse by women working in the organization.

The Duggars are friends and close to both of these people.  Vision Forum "has used Michelle Duggar in their efforts to demonize contraception" ... and gave "her an award for 'Mother of the Year' because she had so many children.

Gothard's outfit has also been connected to the Duggars and the Duggars have attended many patriarchy events held by the Institute in Basic Life Principles. 


The Duggar story is indicative of the fact that people who are ignorant of Biblical scholarship can use the Bible to come up with a whole host of weird religious beliefs and claim that they are of God, when, in fact, they are merely are dangerous and stupid!

Or as one Swedish bishop once put it:  The Bible is the most dangerous book in the world.   Every evil cause on the face of the earth has been justified by the Bible!


And finally, the Duggars are not a nice, Christian family worth emulating.  They are smarmy religious freaks.  They teach nonsense.  Their beliefs border on insanity.  What they proclaim has nothing whatsoever to do with the Jesus of the Gospels! 

If you should accidentally tune in to their show on the Learning Channel, change the channel asap!

The Rick Perry Building at Texas A&M

"Dumb" is a relative term.  At least in my family.  I've got lots of dumb relatives!  But, that's neither here nor there because I'm going to be writing about dumb politicians, one in particular.

It has become even more obvious in recent years that you need not be smart to be a politician.  You can be tall or short, fat or thin, hairy or bald, male or female (although it's easier to get elected if you're a male), educated or uneducated, and you can be smart or dumb as a cow pie.

I mention cow pies because Rick Perry, the erstwhile governor of the Lone Star State, came from the farm and knows all about cow pies.  I'd bet money he's stepped into many of them.  His shoes may still contain remnants of his farming days.

Some farmers are very intelligent, very smart.  I worked for a few of the smart ones when I was a kid.  Others are dumb as cow pies.  Perry is in the latter category.  Maybe he was farm-schooled?

He's got other problems, too.  He somehow contracted the religious right wing disease. And because of that he believes all kinds of crazy stuff like there is a god up in the sky who he can talk to and get directions from and the world as we know it was created 6,000 years ago, and everything in the Bible is the "word" of his God and true, true, true.

That's probably why Perry, in spite of the fact that he's a governor and governors are not supposed to endorse any religion, endorses the fundamentalist Christian religion, helps organize and attends prayer meetings and religious rallies, and loves to pray "in Jesus' name".

He also against gays, gay marriage, abortion.  He  just doesn't understand why public schools can't lead all the kiddos in prayers to his god.

Being a right winger, he thinks the Soviet Union is really bad.  Well, he might know by now there is no Soviet Union anymore, but he sure as hell hates Russia and that big bear, Putin. Like so many other Repugnican politicos he doubtless thinks President Obama is a Commie Muslim and Democrats are just Commies in disguise.  He's so far right that not long ago he suggested Texas might have to secede from the Union because the federal government was being mean and dictatorial (he neglected to mention that Texas receives more money from the feds than any other state).

Perry did go to college.  Texas A&M.  He didn't learn much.


Considering all of these things, I was surprised, no, devastated, to read that the Board of Regents at Texas A&M voted to name the "main academic building at A&M after Governor Perry."  (Full disclosure:  I am an Aggie!)

Perry said this gesture was "a great honor."

Oops.  The Regents, not being very smart themselves, forgot to take a gander at Perry's academic record.  Not so good.  He almost didn't graduate and strained to make a 2.5 grade average.  Yikes!

Students at A&M decided that they didn't want their main academic building named after a dumbass who barely graduated and to whom "academic" is a swear word.  So, over 7,000 of them signed a petition circulated by the student Senate asking the Board of Regents to reconsider their ill-conceived plan.

So, the board of Regents reconsidered.  Perry, hearing about the brouhaha, requested that the building not be named after him.  Heh, heh.  Maybe he's not so dumb, after all.

Well, yes he is.  He's currently under indictment for political chicanery.

What Would Jesus Do ... About the War on Christmas?

The other day I was talking to Jesus and I mentioned the "War on Christmas." He started laughing uproariously! "That Bill O'Reilly is such an idiot," he said. "And I can name another hundred idiots just like him. But they're really not worried about a 'War on Christmas,' they're just trying to get some publicity so more people will watch them and send them money.

 "Christmas isn't about me, anyway. And I sure as hell wasn't born on December 25! Some nutcases in the 4th century of the Common Era (notice I don't go for that B.C., Anno Domini stuff) took a bunch of different traditions and made up a winter holiday.

"Before that, in Rome, the people celebrated the birth of Mithras, who was born of a virgin in a cave on December 25, surrounded by shepherds. In fact, in Rome on Mithras Eve, the people held all kinds of wild parties in the streets with lots of Mitras carols and hymns to Mithras. I remember thinking it looked like fun.

'Then, that rascal Constantine came to power - and by the way, he didn't see any 'cross' in the sky, he just made that up to frighten his enemies - he ordered that a new religion called Christianity - and that wasn't about me, either - was to be the religion of the Empire.

'The poor Mithras believers had to change or be killed."

"That's interesting," I said. "But what would you have me tell my readers about this faux war on Christmas here and now?

And that's when he put this little poem in my head. As he left me, he said, "Tell them, Hanukkah is a lot more fun, anyway!"

Some say there's a war on Christmas.
Others say that's just not so!
Some say Santa's but a myth.
Some "Boo," and "Ho, ho, ho!"

Seems we've got ourselves a mess.
Folks are feeling sad and blue.
We should ask one little question,
What, you think, would Jesus do?

He'd not be seen at Wal-Mart stores,
Or walking up and down the mall.
He might go hiking in the woods,
To keep from climbing up the wall!

He might attend a jolly party,
And try to do the cha, cha, cha!
He wouldn't go to church, for sure.
He'd celebrate Hanukkah!

Palin sees Santa from her house

I wasn't planning to post this.  I mean why mess up a nice holiday season with a picture of the wacko from Wasilla?

But, the other evening, I met a woman from Wasilla.  She was very nice.  I made mention of you-know-who with what I suppose was a snarky look on my face.  The woman from Wasilla let me know she didn't agree with my assessment of the wacko.

So, I shut up.  I've got lots of things to do in the next week and arguing about Palin's nuttiness is not one of them.  Furthermore, that has to be a really "bad" Santa to let her get so close.

Cuba - Republicans Hang On To Failed Policy

On Cuba, Obama and Conservative Hypocrisy

[Photo from The Famous People]

It's about time.  No, it's way past time!

What follows is from Shakesville:

"The United States and Cuba have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations and open economic and travel ties, marking a historic shift in U.S. policy toward the communist island after a half-century of enmity dating back to the Cold War, American officials said Wednesday. The announcement came amid a series of sudden confidence-building measures between the longtime foes, including the release of American prisoner Alan Gross, as well as a swap for a U.S. intelligence asset held in Cuba and the freeing of three Cubans jailed in the U.S. Gross arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington late Wednesday morning. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro were to separately address their nations around noon. The two leaders spoke by phone for more than 45 minutes Tuesday, the first substantive presidential-level discussion between the U.S. and Cuba since 1961."


Finally!  I have always thought our policy toward Cuba which evolved when we dropped support for the dictator Batista as he fled the land, and turned toward Castro only to dissavow him when his growing affinity for "Communism" became evident, was not only misplaced, but outright wrong!

And stupid!

But, in south Miami there is a contingent of anti-Castro Cubans and their descendants - many of whom were quite happy with Batista as they had become wealthy and powerful under his dictatorial regime, but lost it all when Castro came to power - who for years have fought every attempt to modify the U.S. position toward Cuba.

The U.S. position included open hostility, economic embargo, the discontinuation of diplomatic relations, and discouragement of any travel between the two countries or communication between Cubans in the U.S. and their families in Cuba.

One of the silliest actions was the ban on Cuban cigars!


Our position over these many years cemented Cuba's hatred for the U.S., created terrible economic hardship for much of Cuba's population, and gave our enemies around the world more ammunition to use against us.

Communism is a failed system.  We've known that from the beginning and it has failed over and over again.  That doesn't mean that every Communist country is going to become capitalistic and democratic overnight or ever.  China many never become a democratic society in the same way the US is a democratic society, but major changes have occurred there over the years so it is a much more open society and its economy has been modified to include some capitalistic characteristics.  It remains, however, a communist country!

But we haven't dared act on what we knew.  The anti-Commie neo-cons in this country are too strong and too numerous and what president or Congressperson doesn't want to be reelected?  The Miami Cuban bloc was always a threat to anyone who came out in favor of mitigating our stance on Cuba; in fact it was courting political death.


Jeb Bush, ex-governor of Florida, who made a mess out of that state, and now wants to be a another "Bush" president, criticized President Obama for restoring diplomatic ties with Cuba.   This is, he whined, a "dramatic overreach" of executive authority.

Jeb said "Cuba is a dictatorship with a disastrous human rights record, and now President Obama has rewarded those dictators."  It's going to hurt the Cuban people but help the "heinous Castro brothers."

Marco Rubio, the dim bulb Senator from the Miami area, who has lied in the past as to how his father came to this country from Cuba, implying he was fleeing persecution from a terrible regime when in fact he sailed to the U.S. in 1956 (before Castro) without incident, has also thrown in his two cents.  Obama's move, which rewards "the Castro regime," is inexplicable, saith Marco.  Furthermore, as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Western Hemisphere subcommittee, he intends to "make every effort" to block Obama's normalization action.

Another wacko on the far right, Teddy Cruz, is also whining and complaining about Obama's "overreach," and Obama's flirtation with Communism, and is terribly pissed off to think that our President would reward terrible dictators like Fidel and Raul.


The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.  None of these people have bitched about our continuing support of dictators throughout Latin America or elsewhere.  So long as the U.S. could buy the dictators, they became our dictators and "good" guys because with enough money passing into their hands they would seek to protect American business interests in their countries.  The only time the conservatives in Congress gave a damn about a dictatorship anywhere was when the dictator stopped doing our bidding!

The Bush family really has no clothes.  They've been in bed with the Saudi rulers for many, many years because of a mutual interest in money and oil.  Anyone who thinks Geo. W. Buski led our troops off to die in Iraq was because of WMDs or the terrible Saddam is terribly misled. Bushki's Iraqi adventure was a way to guarantee that Iraqi oil went to the right place as dictated by Saudi Arabia!  Hell, Saddam, terrible dictator that he was, remained our friend for years and we basically armed his army, which, ironically, gave him the firepower he needed to at least resist our military incursions into his land after he fell out of our favor.

If there is any country with a worse record on human rights than Saudi Arabia, such country would be hard to find.  Some 50% of the Saudi population are treated as chattel without any of the rights we consider necessary for human and humane life - the Saudi women.  Yet Saudi remains on the A-list so far as the U.S. is concerned!

And China is no paragon of human rights, yet these conservative hucksters in the U.S. have no problem with our continuing diplomatic relations with that country.  They've even made it easier for American companies to flee to China to manufacture products which rake in huge profits when they're sold back in the United States.

Rubio's staff and the staff of another rabid anti-Castro Republican in South Florida, Ros-Lehtinen, went on a junket to China recently - a junket that included luxury hotels and visits to all the great tourist sites such as the Great Wall of China.  These junkets were paid for by the Chinese government and cost upwards of $10 grand per person!

Yet, when Jay Z and Beyonce traveled to Cuba on a U.S. Chamber trip, Rubio bashed them, saying it was "misguided and fraught with peril of becoming a propaganda coup for the Castro regime - to the detriment of America's strategic interest in protecting human rights around the world, as well as the Cuban people."

And that, Mr. Rubio, is hypocritical bullshit!  What fools are these conservative twits.  Everyone knows we support all kinds of dictators and always have.  Everyone knows Rubio's concern with "protecting human rights" is a display of hypocrisy that boggles the mind!


We cannot remake the world in our own image.  We've tried over and over again and we've failed miserably.  The fact is democracy is not in the future for much of the world.  We are learning that we must accept that and try to find a way to live amicably so we don't end up killing everyone on earth and destroying the planet in the process.

In an essay titled "Under Western Eyes" by John Gray in the November 2014 issue of Harper's magazine, he claims "All Western mainstream political parties and sections of opinion hold to a creed in which tyranny and empire are relics of the past, ethnic nationalism is fading away, and the rise of militant religion is a temporary aberration."

Unfortunately, that creed is a crock.  "The practical upshot" of this thinking "has been a type of evangelical democracy, and the principal legacy a litter of failed states."

And that's why, later in the essay, he comments "The West has yet to acknowledge the possibility that it is going to live with an authoritarian Russia indefinitely."  He might as well have said "Cuba" instead of Russia.  And we've lived with an authoritarian Cuba since 1960!  We've lived with other authoritarian states just as long or longer!

Thinking that given enough time, people in these states, seeing the advantages of democracy, are going to rise up and demand change is a false hope.  Gray refers to the American historian, Barbara Tuchman, who noted in her 1984 book, The March of Folly, that "many of history's catastrophes have been the result of hubristic policies that should have been known in advance to be unworkable or self-defeating.  Much that the West has done over the past quarter-century can be described in this way."

Certainly our policy toward Cuba can be so described.

 
My point is that had we treated Cuba, not as our enemy, but as our close neighbor (only 90 miles from Key West), worthy of recognition and a smidgen, at least, of respect, it is likely that we could have developed a positive relationship which would have benefited both countries, and created one hell of a lot less heartache for all concerned!

Pastor Dies After Singing About Being Healed

Please note that I'm not making light of this incident, nor am I mocking the pastor's faith.  I am, though, entranced by the IRONY involved.

Down through the years, I've known a number of people who believed desperately that their God could heal them or help them avoid certain diseases only to be seriously disappointed.  God either didn't hear their prayers or didn't care or couldn't get there on time.

This instance involves Gordon A. Humphrey, Jr., a pastor involved with a group named United Ministries which is, I believe, located in the Chicago area.  He enjoyed singing very much.

According to an article by Leonardo Blair at the Christian Post, Pastor Humphrey, who had just celebrated his 60th birthday, "bellowed melodiously from the pulpit that 'the Lord is good to me.. You healed my body.  You brought me back from death' as a choir harmoniously affirmed his lilting declarations."

Shortly thereafter, on a Sunday at the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church of Chicago, Pastor Humphrey "began preaching a Christmas-themed message about 'hope in the manger' ... [and] sauntered through the lyrics of rapper Pharrell Williams' runaway hit song, "Happy."'"

Then he fell over dead.

Steven Anderson is not a Christian

You maybe don't care much one way or another whether Steven Anderson is a Christian.  I don't, either.  But if you claimed Christianity as your faith and had a whit of understanding of what that means, you would be irate that this asshole makes the same claim you do

Anderson is well-known for his vitrol and shamelessness.  He's pastor of a weird little storefront Baptist church in Tempe, Arizona.  Ironically, it's called Faithful Word Baptist Church.  If there's anything Anderson is not is faithful to the Word.  He's also an example as to how the word, "Baptist," can mean just about anything these days.

Anderson is a homophobe, which is one problem.  He's also filled with hatred and bile which he wraps in the robes of what he thinks is "righteousness," but is, in fact, a sinkhole of evil. 

His latest rants involve Christians killing gays.  If only Christians would kill gay people, says Anderson, we could rid the world of AIDS.  And then he laughs. 

Funny thing is, in some ways, Anderson is a worse disease than AIDS!  At least we're working on a cure for AIDS.  There's no hope for Anderson.  He's made his pact with the devil and sold his soul and when push comes to shove he'll go the way of all the other deranged righteous that have plagued our world since Christianity began.

By any measure except his own, Steven Anderson fails the Christian test.
