Sarah Palin pimping God

From June 2008:

Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending U.S. soldiers out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.

Kind of echoes George Bush’s 2003 explanation for his disastrous military adventures:

‘I am driven with a mission from God’. God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did.

Liberals want your child to have sex

Filed under: Media, Religion, Hypocrisy @ 12:48 am

From an article titled: Why Liberals Lie About Sex, by nutbag Kevin McCullough (apparently a radio host), mostly a rant about a new survey finding that teenagers are less sexually active today than several years ago:

“Liberals want your child to have sex. They want this to occur in spite of your religious, health, or parental objections. They are willing to substitute false thinking for solid fact on the consequences of what will happen. And they do so while simultaneously insulting you and your child’s ability to comprehend, discern, and choose behaviors that make the most sense.”

The same crap rag/website had headlines which included:

“Obama: Sex Ed for Tots”
and
“And You Thought There Was No Way Democrats Could Create A 20,000 Percent Tax Increase…”

This crap passes for journalism!

And then you wonder where we as a country are headed?

And why are we in this handbasket?

A museum based on a fairy tale

Filed under: Religion @ 12:31 pm

Is this for real?

Yes it’s true, there is a Creation Museum. Someone (supposedly an exhibit director at Universal Studios) blew millions of dollars to honor a fairy tale by creating this park/museum in Kentucky (”deliverance” music starts to play…).

I will be spending a week in Cincinnati this summer and thought I might impersonate a believer and check it out, but alas, someone has done this work for me, and I won’t be needing to go anymore…

One interesting update: When I was researching this, I did a google search for “fairy tale museum,” thinking that one must exist somewhere, and that I could cleverly (and cynically) compare the two for this post. Most of the ‘hits’ were reviews and critiques of the Creation Museum in which the writers had the same impression I did!
