Utter chaos at Florida's Okaloosa County School Board meeting.

[madfloridian]

I could swear heard the 2nd speaker say "deliver us from pizza" and "thine is the kingdom of the pesto and alfredo". Found at a Daily Kos diary.

You might need to turn your speakers down when they really get going.

[randys1]

1. what is wrong with these stupid people

[chillfactor]

3. maybe because....

stupid is addressing more stupid....

[randys1]

4. which religion was the white guy who was reading?

[madfloridian]

6. I have no idea what's going on....

it's just crazy.

[randys1]

7. Isnt one group of religious idiots trying to over shout the other?

That is what I thought it was.

[madfloridian]

9. Apparently, but I can't figure who the one is who said deliver us from pizza.

No idea.

[HooptieWagon]

27. he's mocking them.

"Give us this day, our garlic bread"...etc. the others are trying to drown him out.

[madfloridian]

28. Yep, finally caught on.

Pastafarian.

[negoldie]

41. The

Pastafarians

[bobalew]

12. Apparently "All of the Above" Damn. That was FUNNY!

NT

[Ineeda]

16. Pastafarian, I think.

Lots of references to pasta sauces, pizza, garlic bread, ramen (amen) and noodles. He also named Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, Buddha, Krishna, and probably several others that I missed. Also mentions atheists, humanists, and agnostics.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking scary that these nuts are dead serious. The blood of jesus guy was only slightly scarier than the rapturous, creepy singers. I wonder how they would have reacted to a person dressed in Islamic garb, or even wearing a yarmulke. They want religious freedom? Sure they do.

[madfloridian]

17. And just think, this is at a board meeting of a public school district. Who's in charge??

[1monster]

24. Pastafarian, I think.... "Give us this day our garlic bread..."

[SkyDaddy7]

35. They have a form of...

MIND VIRUS!

[cantbeserious]

2. America Has Gone Crazy

eom

[Enthusiast]

37. That was the objective.

[cantbeserious]

39. All Too True - Mission Accomplished By The Oligarchs, Corporations And Banks

eom

[Warpy]

5. Oh, good grief

My dad could never figure out why I didn't want to move to Florida. I wish this had been around while he was alive and that he'd been computer literate enough to handle email, I'd have sent it to him as Exhibit A.

Not to mention Florida is a steambath with flying cockroaches and too many stupid Republicans.

[BlueJazz]

20. I beg your pardon. I've tied all my dreams to Flying Roaches.

Actually, it's fairly normal in the Tampa bay area. The top of the state and middle? Loonyville.

[malokvale77]

22. Flying cockroaches...

we have them here in Texas, right along with stupid Republicans.

Never forget: Karl Rove and George W Bush cooked this stew up in Texas.

Never forget: The Democratic Party allowed it to happen.

[Warpy]

30. Yeah, the party conservatives don't give a shit

as long as their cash flow is positive.

[Plucketeer]

8. And we wonder...

how Trump and Carson and Cruz and all can command attention! I could envision someone opening up with a semi-automatic here. This could drive an unstable sort over the edge.

[madfloridian]

18. That last bit of yelling could drive someone with mental problems over the edge.

You are right.

[newthinking]

34. That last guy's behavior became personal and the "pastafarian" may have a case case against him.

[valerief]

10. I couldn't take all the bible shit. nt

[byronius]

11. I cannot imagine living among these fucking weirdos.

Some sick shit going on there, underneath all that holy.

[HooptieWagon]

13. That's a particularly crazy part of Florida.

Western part of Florida panhandle. Cities include Ft Walton Beach, Destin, and Crestview. Much of Eglin AFB is located there. Solidly red, maybe 75-80% republican.
Although Florida has more than its share of wackos, many areas aren't that batshit crazy.

[kacekwl]

14. WTF is

this really a school board meeting ?

[madfloridian]

15. Yes, it really is unfortunately. Read this article about that meeting.

School Board OKs invocations

[kacekwl]

43. Didn't Jesus say you should do you worship

In private?

[madfloridian]

25. The comments after the article are very revealing.

[greenman3610]

19. from the Sermon on the Mount - "..be not like the hypocrites.."

" And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

[Thespian2]

21. Yes

That important part of the bible is seldom read by many raving lunatics who call themselves christian...Too many in America are just like these people who apparently are attending a "school board" meeting...how scary is that?

[Enthusiast]

38. Huge +1! They pick and choose. But how could they ignore this?

[malokvale77]

23. I'm sorry I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes of that.

I'm sickened that religion has wormed its ugly head into our public schools.

I don't know what to say anymore.

[FloriTexan]

26. Whoa now. .

That is some crazy shit!

[Generic Other]

29. I think I am gonna re-mix that with some GOP clowncar footage

Awesomesauce. Amen.

[madfloridian]

32. Now that would be interesting.

[passiveporcupine]

31. And forgive us our broccoli florettes?

I think I love this guy!

I tell you what, he had a hell of a lot of nerve standing up to that crowd, especially at the end. I wish I'd been there to support him. I can't sing any more, but used to be able to sing like an opera singer. Would loved to have blown out the room with that.

[shadowmayor]

33. More Proof

If anybody still thinks we need less federal control of education and that our country should let locals run their school systems, please try to watch this again. I truly feel for the children being raised in this community. Another example of why religion should be kept out of the public's business.

[Jeroen]

36. "We cast you out in Jesus name!"

[ctsnowman]

40. Wonder if they ever talked about education.

[L0oniX]

42. This is why we can't have nice things.
