Next week, he writes about how the country is destroying its "Judeo-Christian" heritage by getting rid of public nativity scenes.

I get so tired of people implying that not having publicly sponsored religious symbols means banning publicly displayed religious symbols. They aren't the same thing at all.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Here's a linky to the article about the hobo nativity...complete with pictures. Doesn't do it complete justice, but it gives you a good idea: [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Chuck Norris claims that, if "Obamacare" had been around 2000 years ago, Mary would have aborted Jesus.

I keep seeing this bumper sticker around here that says virtually the same thing, like "If Mary were Pro-Choice, there wouldn't be a Christmas." (Which, don't even get me started on how that's incorrect.) I saw it and looked at Joe and said, "Well, good thing she was pro-rape-by-a-diety, too."

Oh, and Rush Limbaugh is outraged that insurance might be required to cover mammograms and medical care for injuries from domestic abuse. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"If Mary were Pro-Choice, there wouldn't be a Christmas."

But if Hitler's mom was Pro-Choice, we wouldn't have had the Holocaust.

One stupid argument deserves another.

Notice that in his [Chuck's] article he says 2/3 of Americans support abortions being legal.

Also, he says that earmarks made up a terrifying 0.39% of the spending bill. Of course my opinion skews that since I don't think there is anything intrinsically bad about earmarks. I consider it part of my representative's job. My congress person has received earmarks for terrible things like infrastructure and a battered woman's shelter. Wasteful spending is bad but earmarks don't always == wasteful spending.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh god. That celebrity nativity has GWB as one of the 3 wise men...just, no.

God forbid that health care insurance should cover essential health care.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I keep seeing this bumper sticker around here that says virtually the same thing, like "If Mary were Pro-Choice, there wouldn't be a Christmas."

Er, right. Because being pro-choice obviously means you favor only one possible choice. Which would make it...not so much of a choice.

Rush Limbaugh is outraged that insurance might be required to cover mammograms and medical care for injuries from domestic abuse.

Mary should cover up the baby Jesus' little infant ears for a moment, because I have to say...Rush Limbaugh can go fuck himself sideways with a rusty fucking chainsaw.

STUPID POISONOUS PEOPLE GET THE FUCK OFF MY PLANET. IT'S CHRISTMASTIME. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Mary may now take her hands off the baby's ears. I'm done, for at least the next eight minutes.
