"BARBARA BUSH ARE YOU PROUD OF YOUR SONS NOW?"

[Bluebear]

I see the protestors are giving the 70 dying Woodside Hospice patients a nice, serene last Easter Sunday to enjoy with their families. It's touching the way they listened to the Schindlers and went home to leave the hospice in peace! In the last picture, protestors in wheelchairs block the entrance so NO family members can visit.

1. Sometimes I hate the fact that I was born in

a country founded on religious fundamentalism.

[Bluebear]

2. I don't think it was founded on it...

but it sure is dissolving into it!

[deadparrot]

4. Eh, the Pilgrims are close enough

to the modern fundie that I consider them interchangeable.

Hysteria abounds. :)

[KG]

3. it wasn't founded on fundamentalism.

don't swallow that kool-aid, please.

[mondo joe]

5. Well.. the colonies were. The US was not, but there is still a strong

streak of puritanism that came over here with those repressed fucks.

[Bluebear]

8. We definitely have puritanical/repressed blood flowing through our veins.

"Our" meaning the collective "our" that is this country. What is ironic is Europe seems to have evolved beyond it. (I know, freepers, 'then move to France blah blah blah'.)

[deadparrot]

11. Europe has had its share of fascists.

Methinks they've learned their lesson. :)

[Swamp Rat]

20. Not me!

I'm a red-blooded heathen! Praise Dionysus! :D

Oh great Zeus! Please strike down these foul theists with your most fiery thunderbolt! Send them to Hades today! :)

[deadparrot]

6. See post #4.

I'm not drinking any Kool-Aid.

[Warpy]

7. It wasn't. Read what Madison had to say about that.

and he wasn't the only one. The Deists, products of the Enlightenment, are who founded the country, not the Puritans who had landed here a hundred and forty or so years earlier.

Religious nutbars seem to forget that people had rejected Puritanism by the time the Declaration of Independence was signed, the war fought and won, and the country reorganized under the constitution.

Fundies, alas, will always be with us. The eternal vigilance which is the price of freedom is the vigilance to spot them early and keep them the hell out of government.

We have a lot of work ahead of us before the 2006 election.

[deadparrot]

10. I know...

our founding fathers didn't. Was speaking about the Puritans, of course. But I truly think that that original founding had some sort of influence on why Americans are so turned on to fundamentalism these days.

[Fenris]

9. Looks like this fellow got a little excited.

He really should clean that up.

[Bluebear]

13. See? They're pretty tough 'til the cops get there

Then they soil themselves!

[DesEtoiles]

12. what happened to "Judge not lest ye be judged?"

[katinmn]

14. Love to see the * Family's crap backfire in their faces.

pandering, lying, using
tsk. tsk.

[Pool Hall Ace]

15. What is a "spune" ?

I can't read what this sign says. :shrug:

[deminks]

21. I think what they wrote is "spunge" as in spounge...

Morans can't spell for shite. :eyes:

[KayLaw]

32. You're right

Their poor writing skills and their shared aversion to cosmetic dentistry always give them away.

[Canadian Socialist]

39. It's "sponge"

not "spunge" and not "spounge". Just saying.

[Pool Hall Ace]

41. Oh, I didn't see the "g" at first. So the sign says

"Should we not sponge her mouth with vinegar"

Yep, they really do think she's Jesus. :crazy:

[justgamma]

36. What's that big blowup figure in the background? n/t

[Pool Hall Ace]

42. Oh, it looks like this guy:

Mr. Met !



"Meet the Mets, greet the Mets, step right up and meet the Mets . . ."

[Skip Intro]

16. I've never been so turned off to religion. These people are killing it.

I don't belong to a church, I"m not officially any denomination, I have my suspicions, but belief is a strong word, but I'd always left open the possibility of taking a good look at what religious organization made sense to me at some point, and joining one of them.

At this point, I'm just waiting for someone to come up to me and "spread the word" or ask me if I'm "saved" so that I can tell them to get the fuck away from me and mind their own damned business.

These wackos have just about killed orgainzed religion for me.

[Kindigger]

29. I'm with you

Two days ago I finally had enough, and wrote a doctor I had seen last February. I told him all this Shiavo stuff got me thinking about him.

You see, I had been seeking help for chronic pain (specified below) for 15 years (coincidence?). This pisswad told me that "until I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, I would never get any better". Yes, this is the DIAGNOSIS in the office visit record.

I told him less than a month after my visit, my neck finally collapsed, I've since been diagnosed with major stenosis in my lower back, and a large cyst on my knee. My spine is continuing to collapse.

I went on to tell him my SAVIOR is the pain clinic doctor who worked a MIRACLE by putting me on a Fentanyl patch, and that I finally have some relief. I discussed the 15 years he and his ilk had stolen from me.

I wished him to be struck by lightening the next time he went golfing, with all the money he had made from his bogus diagnoses.

Oh....he also signed that petition the other day. George Lawry II (come to the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics and be healed..we have no ethics, but you can find jeezus).

I told him he would be highly recommended by me in person, and all over the internet. I told him when I felt up to it, there would be a whole site dedicated to him, and his kind.

Let them try to sue me for whatever. I can't sue them due to the length of time they screwed me around. :mad:

17. Step right up to Jeb Bush's Big top, folks..........

(formerly known as the State of Florida).

[Bluebear]

19. Do do do do do do do do do do

(Circus theme song)

[neebob]

18. Of course she is!

And why would she worry her beautiful mind about ugly things like death and suffering - especially when it happens to poor people?

[Bluebear]

22. Duh. Silly poster-maker, of course she is!

It's all so clear, neebob!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

23. Go home already. Don't they have some shopping to do

at Walmart or something? Bunch of freaks.

If they're on the side of the parents and they asked them to go home, why aren't they giving them that? What a circus.

[leftofthedial]

24. please pee in this cup, officer

[mr blur]

25. What's with the Nazi solute in #6?

a Chimp opponent, or a supporter?

[deminks]

26. Future neo-con learning to disrespect authority, or he thought

a * was in the car.

[NNN0LHI]

27. There was a guy standing behind Anderson Cooper the other night...

...right in front of all the protesters on CNN with a huge purple sign that read "Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right. Here I am Stuck in the middle with you". I about fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.

Don

[Bluebear]

28. Now THAT rocks

30. These people practice religions about Jesus, not the religion of Jesus.

[peekaloo]

31. *thunk* She could've had a V8.

If I wisheth in one hand and shiteth in the other.........

[Dark]

33. OMG!!! This is great. I wonder what would happen if they could

see themselves. I wonder, WTFWJD?

[Bluebear]

45. If they saw themselves....

they would be self-righteous, proud and Rapture ready. There is no reason here!

[Left Is Write]

38. Don't you love people who believe they have the power

to determine who is and who is not going to hell?

[democracyindanger]

40. Please to note: The woman in the last picture is using a bullhorn

A fucking bullhorn.

44. Bush's base: Is this what Jefferson had in mind?

The current administration is actually attempting to shore up their support from these psychotics.

This can't be my country. It just can't.
