This billboard about 15 miles up the road from where I live has been bugging me since December when it went up. Well, I finally went to have a closer look at it because I thought it said who sponsored it. I wanted to know who was making me ill everytime I passed this on the highway. It is bad enough that a local Fox affiliate, ultra conservative radio station, KLIF has billboards up all over in poor taste, but this just rang hollow to me. By the way, here is a banner from a commercial that stations would not run from www.klif.com. These people are freaks.

It is almost like these creeps still feel like they have to convince people that they are correct. However, they can't do it by actually standing on a record of accomplishments just fear and cult worship. Oh well, here goes.

Take a look.



The billboard above was donated by a religious institution. Here they are: Covenant Media Foundation They are located in the deep Piney Woods of East Texas. These peons are the kind of people that make me question my own spirituality. They are bigots who support *. They are trained to not think just follow. These people are the last people that Jesus would want following him. I am so disgusted.

1. Turn them in to the IRS!

[burythehatchet]

3. I know you know better

There ain't no mo government

[ultraist]

5. Really! it's utter bullshit that these so called churches are tax exempt

All while they engage in politics! They sound more like a PAC or special interest group to me, not a church. Maybe they should convert to a 527. I mean really, what makes them any different than a 527?

Turn the bastards in and write YOUR LOCAL PAPER and ask WHY is it a tax exempt church is allowed to do such a thing.

[Maestro]

10. I plan to

but I fear that Covenant Media has some wiggle room as they can say that they are not politicing but simply congratulating *. They can lie throug their teeth and say that they were going to do the same for Kerry. I don't understand it. It seems to be bending the rules to a breaking point.

2. who don't you get yourself a supersoaker and some paint?

thats what I'd be doing.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. My thought was paint balls!

Oh the fun you could have... :evilgrin:

[Career Prole]

8. Definitely!

I thought I'd given up vandalism a long, loooong time ago but my first thought upon seeing that billboard was how best to get at that face!

Supersoaker...I like!! :evilgrin:

[Maestro]

11. You guys are too funny.

A soaker, paint balls.

[The Sheik]

4. Hey!

But they got Alan Colmes! :toast:

I have always wanted to use that smiley.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. What was it that the Methodists said way back when?? I am sure

that they didn't contribute to this obscenity.

At least "some" churchy types don't have their heads up their asses. And this from his own denomenation... imagine that.

United Methodists Call on George W. Bush and Richard Cheney to Repent


United Methodist Church members and clergy are bringing charges against President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney. “Our hope,” says Rev. Courtney Ball, “is that President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney will recognize the sinfulness of their actions, sincerely repent, and move on to change their ways.

Iowa City, IA (PRWEB) October 19, 2004 -- United Methodist Church members and clergy are bringing charges against President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney. The organizers call on all United Methodists Church members to read and sign the letter of complaint.

According to Josh Steward, “We are taking this action as Christians who are desperate to hold two of our own accountable. We, as United Methodists, understand that it is our duty to support and encourage our members and our leaders, and we have been doing so faithfully through prayers and petitions. But enough is enough. The guidance of our bishops and our church-members has been ignored by the respondents for too long. Too many people have died or suffered from the sins of these two men. Now it is time for them to answer for their actions with repentance, to turn back and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, or to be judged for not doing so.”

[Maestro]

9. I grew up Methodist and I am glad to see that.

Unfortunately, now I attend a Prebyterian church and these screwballs seemed to be affiliated with the Presbytery. Ugh! My pastor though is extremely liberal so my immediate church is totally against this sort of thing.

[paineinthearse]

12. Talk to talk radio KLIF - Toll Free Talk Line: 1-800-583-1570 n/t

And write to the Dallas school board. Should children be needlessly exposed to this obscene material?

Think this is correct: http://www.dallasisd.org/inside_disd/board/board_contact.htm

[Maestro]

13. This is the paper

of the city where billboard is located. It is located in Cedar Hill, TX. This paper serves several surrounding cities.

[MisterP]

14. the billboard is by a "Revelation" company: 1, 2 tie my shoe, 3, 4

at the stoor, 5, 666... this really stinks

[Straight Shooter]

15. That photo of bush is very deceptive. How old is it? 8 years ago?

He doesn't look like that anymore, he hasn't looked like that in a long time, and it probably took 20 rolls of film to get that PhotoShopped pic in the first place.

So, basically you've got a religious organization which is bearing false witness, eh?

[Divine Discontent]

31. it's his official white house photo

so they want to follow protocol I guess... anyhow, shouldn't he probably be getting a W2 photo taken here pretty soon? he shouldn't keep the same photo... it is deceptive.

and we had a similar billboard that thanked bush near a major intersection where I live, and it made me so SICK, of course, after he won, it came down...

[Maestro]

16. Let Freedom Ring

The more I think about this, I am just flabbergasted. I don't think we, the US, is under any immediate threat (except from our own government) so I guess this is direct reference to the Middle East. The whole point of going there was for supposed weapons; not freedom. They must brew a good, strong batch of Kool-Aid over there in East Texas.

[Clark2008]

17. Why don't you organize a little "painting party?"

If this is in a relatively smallish town, then you should be able to climb up there, with about five friends or so, at about 2 a.m. and paint horns and a pitchfork on the thing.
If you're organized, it shouldn't take but about 10 minutes, tops.


(I say this as someone with experience in this sort of thing, don't I? O8) )

[Maestro]

19. It is in a very busy place and the town is not smallish

Although a shotgun blast aimed at his face would do nicely. One nice hole in the billboard.

[Clark2008]

20. It's you're talented, maybe you can

draw the horns on with the paintblaster. LOL!

:evilgrin:

[catzies]

23. That would probably earn you a visit from the authorities if they think

that implies a threat to himself personally.

Paint is your friend. And take pictures and send them to freewayblogger.com

[Maestro]

27. No,

notice I said, "...one nice hole in the billboard." I don't need my FBI file getting any bigger. ;)

[catzies]

30. Yes, you did say that. You also said this

* (statement removed by poster) *

Thay's why I urged you be cautious. The revolution needs you.

[Maestro]

33. Thanks

but if some overzealous FBI agent thinks I am advocating shooting * when I am obviously referring to the billboard, then the Nazi regime is pretty much on top of us. The intellectuals will be the next to go along with Skinner and pretty much everyone else here. But I do thank you for the concern.

[anarchy1999]

18. In just the last couple of days I saw, I think on CNN a commercial

they are running on air. I nearly had a heart attack and I did blow several fuses in my mind, (I think I even went and poured myself a stiff drink). It was the first time I'd seen it. This commercial showed Dallas being nuked and several other frightening scenes, (OBL, Saddam maybe, towers falling etc), fade to black with, "We need to talk", 570 KLIF Talk Radio.

I'm still not believing what I saw. This station here in Dallas is out of control.

[Maestro]

21. That is the same one

local stations here refused to run. It was tacky, uncalled for, and simply a grab for ratings playing on people's fears using their children as bait. This is the rethug mentality. Click on the link in my first post and visit the station. They are drunk on kool-aid.

[Maestro]

22. A bump

because I just can't believe this crap.



May lightning strike that sign...

[kiki]

24. "Covenant Media"... subtle.

How about "Unholy Alliance Productions"?

"We've Made A Deal With Satan Studios"?

kiki's editing tip for the day: If you want to avoid looking subliterate in two-foot-high letters like these assholes, don't put a full point on the end of Mr (for Mister). As a general rule, if the word ends in the same letter as the abbreviation (Dr for Doctor, St for Saint or Street), you don't need a full point.

Still, they did at least get the correct phrase "Let Freedom Ring", as opposed to "Let Freedom Reign", as Chimpy wrote on his note from Condi. A bit of a Freudian slip I think... "reign" is a word we associate with monarchies and autocratic power.

"Fear the Unending Reign of FREEDOM!"

[Clark2008]

35. Kiki, that's the British way

In America, as far as I know, we always put the full-point period after the abbreviation. Mr. Dr. Mrs.
I know the Brits don't.
Or, are you talking about the SIZE of the period?
It is rather large.

[kiki]

37. Curses.

You're right.

Never criticise people's punctuation when drunk.

[Azathoth]

25. I pity the people who live in Texas

If I had to choose one state in the country that was most closely analogous to the land of Mordor, it would be Texas.

[Maestro]

26. It isn't so bad

but the freeper neo-con psuedo religious shrub death cult is getting to me.

[Not_Giving_Up]

28. I live in Texas, and don't want pity

There are plenty of Dems here, we just get outshouted by the right.

[Azathoth]

29. I was being facetious

Every state has their own group of far-out nutballs to deal with. But Texas seems to have a knack for spawning some of the most loud, obnoxious, and just flat-out insane religious wingnuts in the country.

[ArchTeryx]

38. Mordor?

I don't know. I'd more equate Texas these days with Isengard. There are alot of good people in the state (I know a particularly nutty, and apolitical, Texan named Hawk). However, it seems to be ruled by utterly corrupt business interests, old money and their loud, obnoxious peon allies.

You want the equivalent of Mordor, visit parts of industrial New Jersey. ;>

[ComerPerro]

32. reminds me of that one country, with pictures of the "leader" everywhere

you know, IRAQ

[Maestro]

34. That's funny

:kick: A kick for the late night crowd.

36. ring-a-ling ring-a-ling;who's there? freedom. could you help me out....

i'm down here in guantanamo, no charges, no lawyer, just broken ribs and baloney sandwiches.
