Link Dump: Dominionism

Dominionists: Religious group seeking to take over government & replace with theocracy. This ideology calls on anointed “Christian” leaders to take over the state and make the goals and laws of the nation “biblical.” Merges with Koch "libertarianism", "The Family", and the beliefs of the far-right John Birch Society.

These people are so batshit that Jerry "Moral Majority" Falwell thought they were scary; they like to call themselves "calvinists"

Prosperity Theology: part of the dominionist attitude. Very common in televangelists and "megachurch" preachers.
--the notion of "I'm rich, gawd must luuurve me, therefore I'm better than you and deserve to rule."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology
--the poor are poor because they lack faith, aren't working hard enough, lack character, or somesuch: it's all their fault.

Announcing the Operation American Spring Commemorative Plate!

$3.99 each at K-Mart.

It'll look awesome next to your George Bush Flightsuit Commemorative Codpiece plate!

Comes in 4 colors:

White, for the pasty pale faces who showed up.
Black, for the non-white folks who didn't.
Green, for the liberals who laughed themselves sick at the whole thing.
Red, for the faces of the "patriots" who made excuses.

Sorry, not available in coward yellow for the Internet tough guys who talked shit and didn't do shit.

Most importantly, they're blank...because nothing happened.

Operation American Spring--DAY 3: ..oh, nevermind.

See DAY 2.

Now the rationalizations begin:

Miao @TPGee

Shout out to all who made Operation American Spring happen. Small or large turnout, you reflect the large heart of America. #OAS #ABeginning

 

Christine Ann Sands@PolymathPoet

@TalkRadioNews wasn't dozens u rat teeth bastards, u u sewerheads! 32M didn't show up in Egypt Day 1 #americanspring

"It doesn't matter that we predicted a huge turnout and ended up with almost no turnout."

Second place is first loser.

Still some true believers who think things are happening:

clydetheslyde ‏@clydetheslyde 6h
I wager $100 to any #TeaParty member that the MSM will not broadcast today's arrest of President Obama by #OperationAmericanSpring

Really? Arrest? Was that scheduled for Day 3?

Zing!

OAS DAY 2--A PRESIDENT IN EXILE!!

It is a dark time for the Republic. Although the NSA drone program has been destroyed, OAS troops have driven the Black President from his hidden base and pursued him across the city.

Evading the dreaded Hoveround Fleet, a group of freedom fighters led by General "Handsome" Joe Biden have established a new secret base in the Air and Space Museum.

The evil lord Darrel Issa, obsessed with finding Handsome Joe, has dispatched thousands of Teabillies into the far reaches of Washington, D.C. ....

Poor, poor two-term very popular Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack H. Obama. All he did was save General Motors, kill Osama bin Laden, get millions of people affordable health insurance, increase infrastructure spending, make a deal with Swiss banks to gain access to the records of tax cheats and criminals, establish the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, sign an improved food safety law, helped kill "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, expand funding for the Violence Against Women act, reverse his predecessor's horrendous torture policies, try to close the Gitmo prison (only to be stopped by Republicans and some turncoat Democrats), work to improve relations with Iran's government and encourage them to stop their nuke program, bring the troops home from Iraq, ban gifts to the Executive Branch from lobbyists, piss off every whiny Republican by being a badass and not getting into scandals (which they find scandalous!), everything else on this list here, and probably some other stuff since then.

Also, he pisses Republicans off just by being the Black Guy in the White House. They hate that soooo very much, they cry the purest, sweetest, tears of impotent rage. That shit tastes awesome with a twist of lemon.

And now...the raging horde of Operation American Spring has run President Obama out of town for the second time in a week. Ejected yet again from the White House, the poor guy has holed up in Gainesville, Virginia, at an elite invitation-only golf course instead of his regular digs on the links at Edwards Air Force Base or Fort Belvoir.

Man can't catch a break, but that's the revolution.

So, this was the second day of "Operation American Spring," which was billed as an enormous influx of millions of furious racist assholes, ignorant Teabaggers, conspiracy whackos, fundie screechers, demagoguing wingnuts, and seditious militiamen, all with Rambo complexes and daddy issues PATRIOTS!!! coming to overthrow the evil gummint they depend on for everything in their day-to-day lives.

Basically, it's been the "Made In China" Family Dollar store brand version of Occupy Wall Street with online circle-jerks instead of drum circles.

The OAS goobers have shifted from cheerleading their so-called revolution to making excuses for it, blaming Friday's early-morning rains, blaming the government for "hacking" their Twitter hashtag (bwahahahahaha!!), claiming that the whole thing had been a "false flag" operation set up by that EVIL!!!! Obama to make them look stupid, claiming that those of us mocking them were all government shills, bought and paid for.

Some of the devout took it really hard, making death threats and such when prodded.

One of the best excuses? "Us conservative folks have JOBS and can't just take the day off!" Really? You want to overthrow the government, but can't take vacation time for it?

I think I get it. Instead of that enormous influx of millions all at once, they're gonna do it a few at a time. Guerilla-style infiltration. By the end of the year, several million of them will have been to D.C.! Uh, guys? You kind of have to be there all at once, or you're just pissy, low-tipping asshole tourists, and D.C. deals with them all year round. Smithsonian's nice this time of year.

The #OperationAmericanSpring hashtag wasn't nearly as hot on Day 2. I didn't lurk on it for more than a couple of hours, myself.

Fun With Kooks: Operation American Spring

Today was the first day of the Grate Redneckistan Take Are Kountree Back!! thing, where hordes of Teabillies from across the country were going to descend upon Washington, D.C. and make Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack Obama step down!

It promised to be really really BIG, 10 to 30 million strong.

They did get the 10, maybe even a few hundred, but the other few million apparently had home chores, medical appointments, or other suddenly-remembered things to do at the last minute ("Well, Earl's got a van that's big enough to carry Art's Hoverround, but his wife's got him goin' to Lowes tomorrow to pick up some pottin' soil, and if Earl can't go, none of us can 'cos we ain't leavin' Art.")

I wonder if they knew Mr. Obama wasn't in town? He went to New York a few days ago.

I don't know who showed up, yet. I blew my entire afternoon watching the Twitters. No time for the blogs or news sites.

Twitter was a lot of fun! The #OperationAmericanSpring hashtag blew up. Here's a selection:

[because I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!]


Yeah, I mostly grabbed my own Twitter posts. Didn't have room for several thousand more.

I've got this mental image, now, of a half-dozen wheezing goobers "marching" somewhere in D.C., headed (they hope) for the White House but lost in a maze of marble.  One of them pauses long enough to huff, "Dammit, Frank, ALL these sumbitchin' buildin's is WHITE!"

Legitimate Idiot!

Why, yes, fundamentalist religion is involved; this nut-dipper is linked to fundie fuckwit D. James Kennedy, who called rape victims who get abortions "hysterical."

I think maybe the "D" stood for "Dumbass." No wonder he abbreviated.

Once you remember that conservatism is a mental defect, this shit makes sense. How insane is too insane to be allowed to hold public office?

One More Reason to Eat Less Chicken

Chick-fil-A sucks. The company's always been a proud bastion of fundie ugliness. No surprise that they've taken a stance against gay marriage. When the Jim Henson Company decided that his Muppets were bouncing the chicken chain over its stance, those classy bird-cookers replied with this:

Wingnut Preacher okays child abuse

Brain-dead wingnut preacher preaches that parents should "punch" their "gay-acting" kids and break their limp wrists. When the Internet rises up in wrath and tells him to STFU, the cowardly knee-crawler whines that he was only kidding and issues a non-apology apology.

Right.

I'd rather have my kid grow up gay (and happy) than grow up a stupid wingnut. I'd really think I'd failed as a parent if one of mine voted *spit* Republican, let alone chose the preacher lifestyle.

(edited to add a subject line)

Wingnut Punk to Libs, Non-Christians: "Get out!"

So Frothy Mix was hosted by some punk-ass preacher-boy loser in Louisiana over the weekend.

Preacher-boy doesn't like non-Christians or Liberals. Says we gotta go. Doesn't like the gays, either. Buys into the comical notion that this country was founded by third-rate Billy Graham wannabe wingnut losers like him.

Loves him some Frothy. Babbled prayers and drooled over him for a bit, then made the obligatory anti-Obama squeals and whines and asked his imaginary sky-buddy to "do a mighty work" on the bad black guy.



Packed house. Lots of gray and blue hair. I wonder whether there's even one stooped-over Rascal-driver in the room who realizes that ol' Frothy is one of "them ol' Catholics."

Oh--and preacher-boy?

You and what army?

[UPDATE! 3/22/2012]

Preacher Boy is apparently embarrassed by all the attention he got when this video went all over the Interwebs and has scrambled to yank it off the Web by...deleting it from the church website.

Y'all be nice and don't tell him about the rest of the Internet, 'kay?

Countdown!

Old Harry "World's Gonna End Really Really Really Really Really Really Soon Now" Camping has announced on his website that October 21, 2011 is Really Really Really Really Really Really The End This Time:

"Thus we can be sure that the whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect), are under the judgment of God, and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on October 21, 2011, on the last day of the present five months period. On that day the true believers (the elect) will be raptured. We must remember that only God knows who His elect are that He saved prior to May 21"

Get your toothbrush and whatever. He's gotta be right this time! We're sure that his May 21, 2011 mistake prediction was just a warmup!

How can Family Radio be so bold as to declare a date for Christ's return?

Given the overwhelming biblical evidence, the Family Stations, Inc. Board of Directors made a determination to dedicate all available resources to proclaim the warning of May 21, 2011. God has prepared Family Radio for this important time in history. Given the population of the world, radio and the internet are the perfect vehicles to deliver this warning.

Go read his site before The End! It's Really Really Really Really Really Really For Real This Time!!


UPDATE: Camping retired from his gig at Family Radio on October 16th (spotted by Slatts in alt.atheism):

(From his Wikipedia page) "Camping officially retired from his position at Family Radio as of October 16, 2011, only days before his last predicted date for the end of the world. Camping reportedly admitted in a private interview that he no longer believed that anybody could know the time of the Rapture or the end of the world, in stark contrast to his previously staunch position on the subject."

It goes without saying that we're still here, ready to make fun of the next Doomsayer.

Put Pat Robertson in a Home, Already.

Terminally insane brain-dead dirtbag, failed Presidential candidate and fundie Pat Robertson has never been one to keep his gnarly cloven hooves out of his pie-hole for very long.

Now, Satan's Nutsack says it's fine to divorce your Alzheimer's-afflicted spouse if they're too far gone (they won't remember anyway, right?), whatever that means.



Unlike demented, decrepit rat bastard Ron Paul and his slavering "Let 'Em Die" Libertarian fanboys, we think old Pat's family should bundle him up and relocate him to a peaceful retirement facility in the Virginia Beach area.

Or--given his condition--he might be "too far gone" himself and he can spend his waning days in hospice, where he can look the families of Alzheimer's patients in the eye and tell them it's okay to just leave Gramps, because he's too far gone and won't notice.

Congratulations, Pat--we didn't have an "Evil" tag yet, but you're the first kook to earn one. Way to give Rick "Goodhair" Perry and Ron "Let 'Em Die" Paul a run for the most batshit, evil right-winger in the country!

Teabaggers are Scum.

Just when we think the teabaggers couldn't get any lower, they dig the damn hole deeper.



If you're uninsured and get sick, die quickly. It's the teabagger way, like letting a man's house burn down for not paying a $75 fee.

These people stand in the way of progress for this country. They're working to destroy the very things that give us the standard of living that keeps America from being a third-world country.

It's long past time that the rest of us made them stop digging that hole any deeper; they can stay in it. We should fill it in and move on.

[Update: Added "Evil" tag. Thanks to Pat Robertson!]

Bachmann's an Idiot. And a flake. A flaky idiot.

Par for the Republican course, it seems. Michele Bachmann is well-known for coming out with stupid--or dishonest--or both--things to say whenever there's a camera lurking around, but I think she's topped herself.

Whaaaaat? She topped her claim that the Shot Heard Round the World happened in New Hampshire?

Okay, this one's a close second to that.

Whaaaaaaaat?! She topped her claim that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery, and that John Quincy Adams was one of them?

Dammit! See, there's so much batshit with this wingnut that it's getting really hard to assess her kookness in terms of a top-ten.

She invoked the name of conservative magnet John Wayne and (not for the first time) linked him to Waterloo, Iowa.

She picked the wrong clown. She's actually talking about kid-killer John Wayne...Gacy, the Killer Clown. We wonder if she knows the difference between them. If Gacy was a Republican, she'd probably sing his praises, 33 murders notwithstanding.

She's since admitted to not being perfect, but stands by her stupidity, and that's why she's the new Republican Stupid Queen. Stand aside, Palin, you amateur. There's a new conservative cutie-pie on the stage with a flaky crust and an incredible batshit center!

Best thing I've seen said about her, from Bill Mahar: "Michele Bachmann! For People Who Find Sarah Palin Too Intellectual."

O'Crap!

Christine O'Donnell's got one scary "O" face.

This one's an example of every reason I'll never vote for or support a Republican. The party continues to put up batshit insane right-wing fundie morons, racists, wild-eyed anti-abortionists, secessionist traitors, war-mongering empty suits, and rich assholes who don't want to pull their share of the tax load; and as long as they continue to cater to batshit insane right-wing fundie morons, racists, wild-eyed anti-abortionists, secessionist traitors, war-mongering empty suits, and rich assholes who don't want to pull their share of the tax load, they can get stuffed. The party's "politics" have devolved into things the government shouldn't be getting into at any level--gay marriage, religious crap in publicly-funded schools, abortion, Teri Schiavo. It's all about hot-button things to scare people into voting Red. PANIC! Commies under your bed! PANIC!! Look at those hippies! PANIC!!! Muslims! PANIC!!!! ATHEISTS!!!!!!! AUGH!!!!

Are you panicking yet?!

Sorry pricks.

Honestly, I thought President Fratboy was the bottom of the barrel, the worst the Goposaurs could manage. Damned if they didn't move the barrel bottom down a few feet when they found Sarah "Caribou Barbie" Palin. Then all hell broke loose--and the cesspool of Republican offerings has only gotten deeper--and this O'Donnell critter is the new bottom. Mice with human brains?! She wouldn't lie to Hitler to save Anne Frank?!

Funny how in that video she supposedly hates, hates, hates dishonesty--but she's been caught out lying--and brilliantly called out on it by this guy.

It took men like Lincoln to make the Republican Party mean something. It's taken right-wing idiots a few decades to shred the party and piss all over Lincoln's legacy while trying to dress themselves up to look like him. The teabaggers are simply finishing the demolition that began in the mid-1960's, when racist pricks abandoned the Democrats in the wake of Johnson's signing the Civil Rights Act into law.

The Party of Lincoln? Nope. The Party of O'Donnell.

The First Rule of Fight Ministry...

...is to beat the hell out of each other to show how much ya luuuuurve Juh-HEEEzus!

See, that doesn't scan the way the Fight Club rules do. Too clumsy, like all the other attempts by religidiots to break into mainstream stuff so that they, too, will seem cool and edgy. Think "hard rock"...then think "Creed."

Metal? Stryper.

They've even tried the Death Metal scene, for fark's sake.

They could suck the cool out of a glacier. That's what's causing Global Warming!

Now, old Jimmy "Fun Lovin' " Dobson's son Ryan and others are running Extreme Martial Arts clubs in parallel with the more mundane religion schtick. They say it's intended to inject "machismo" into the apparently otherwise girly-man church scene. They're using it for outreach.

Gives me a mental image of some hard-core pricks roughing people up: "Hey. Come to my church or I'll kick your effin' ass."

I guess it'd be a logical step up from what the preacher wannabe's from Pensacola Christian College do, hanging out in front of the gay clubs downtown in search of...er...converts.

How to Smack a Fundie Kook

Make a movie about him like Chris Rodda has.

The fundie kook in question is David Barton, a wingnut asshat who claims America is a "Christian Nation (tm)" and calls for a "return" to the fundamentalism of the Founding Fathers.

Rodda gave the revisionist a copy of his book, Liars For Jesus: The Religious Right's Alternate Version of American History (awesome title!); Barton went on his own radio show and lied about Rodda and the encounter.

Yeah, I know it's unbelieveable--a lying rightie?! GTFOH!

Plenty of GOPtards have hitched themselves to Barton's wagon; Bobby "No, I'm not running for President" Jindal (the governor of Louisiana), Michelle "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann (Minnesota) and Newt "You go with the wife you want, not with the wife you have" Gingrich are just a few such goofballs who need to be booted and banned from ever holding public office again.

Chris Rodda's got the story and installments of his movie at the link above.

Because Nothing Fails Like Prayer...

There's a wingnut--Janet Porter--over at WingNutDaily who says opponents of the health-care legislation that recently passed the Senate should pray and fast to convince the Sky-Buddy that they're serious in their opposition.

Sky-Buddy is then expected to make the legislation stop, the same way he made Democrats miss the voting sessi...oh, wait, he didn't. See, last week one of the Goposaurs--Senator Tom "C-Street" Coburn asked fellow Goposaurs to pray that someone would miss the upcoming vote. Some teabaggin' morons prayed that Democrat Byrd would die (there's that christer love from the right-wingers).

ALL the Dems showed up. Goposaur Senator James Mountain Inhofe missed it. Ten pounds of FAIL in a 5-pound bag.

Remember when the Goposaurs (in the form of Dobson over at Focus on the Family) called for prayers that there would be bad rains at Obama's 2008 nomination acceptance speech in Denver? Hurricane Gustav gave them a few headaches. Things didn't go as planned.


So Wingnut Janet Porter wants anti-health-care people to use their "secret weapon." Prayer. Prayer and FASTING.

Prayer doesn't seem to be working out for the Wingnuts lately. If they starve themselves long enough, they'll become a burden on the health-care system.

Chuck Baldwin--Internment camps!!

This kook is in my neighborhood. He runs a church (Crossroad baptist), does a daily 1-hour radio show, and is a failed Presidential candidate for the "Constitution" party.

He used to be in the Red Elephant party, but back in 2000 he jumped off the sinking S.S. GOP because (get this) Fratboy and Shotgun were...TOO LIBERAL.

But just being a Red (or former Red) and espousing the standard religious-right-wing stuff (he was the director of the "Florida Moral Majority") isn't what makes him a kook.

Let's start with this: on August 11th, 2009, Baldwin ran an opinion piece, "Why are internment camps being built?" in which he claims to have SEEN such a camp during a flight over Colorado.

Baldwin follows with a breathless claim that the National Guard is "advertising" for an "Internment/Resettlement Specialist" Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), 31E:

This is an advertisement by the National Guard promoting the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of "Internment/Resettlement Specialist." Question: why does the National Guard need to recruit Internment/Resettlement Specialists? What do they know that we should know?

If you actually go to the page, it's obviously not an ad--it's a description of the 31E specialty. All you have to do is go to the main MOS list page on the NG site to find more "advertising" for other specialties!

OH NO!! There's a 14Z AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY SENIOR SERGEANT!! Why would they need air defense artillery?! Are they gonna shoot airliners down?!

PANIC!! There's also the 21C BRIDGE CREWMEMBER!! Why does the National Guard need to crew our bridges?! Are they gonna blow them up to force us to drive to the camps?!

I note that they've apprantly eliminated my old MOS, 31N. Obviously there's no need for a patch panel operator in this National Guard New World Order.


Baldwin tries to bracket the doubters with this:

Then, of course, there are those who continue to deny that these internment camps exist at all. But then, were there not thousands of Germans who denied the existence of concentration camps during World War II? These types of people would refuse to believe the sun came up in the east if the government spinmeisters told them it didn't.

The old "The Germans were wrong, so you must be wrong if you disagree!" Would this count as a Godwin's Law violation?

I did a little digging around, thinking that an "internment camp" believer might also be a Teabagger, Birther, or other anti-Obama kook. At this point I'll have to call it as "not a teabagger"--at the very least he tries to distance himself from them, while preaching the same "take this country back and restore it to its christian roots" and "socialism!!!" stuff.

As long as you're looking at that page, check out the loons lined up on the sidebar. A veritable sh*tmine of wingnut paranoia.

"Wild" Bill Donohue: "2012" Doesn't kill enough Muslims!

Yeah, Wild Bill is screeching about a movie that won't even be out for another week. He can accept that the Vatican and the Giant Jesus down in Rio will be destroyed, since those Christ-hatin' Hollyweirders are free to bash and ridicule God's Own Religion with impunity.

Wild Bill doesn't like that the Religion of Peace is under-represented in this John Cusack vehicle. Director Roland Emmerich admits that he didn't depict such things as the destruction of a holy statue in the Grand Mosque in Mecca because he's afraid of the sort of batshit-crazy people who went batshit-crazy over cartoons.

Wild Bill disagrees. It's not because Emmerich is afraid of Muslims wigging out and calling for blood! Nope. It's because Emmerich just hates them Catholics, because they're so peace-loving and just want to be left alone!

Wild Bill doesn't mention that he himself went batshit over a cracker. The big difference between Wild Bill and those Muslims who went batshit over cartoons? Wild Bill's people don't try to blow you up.
