Ugh. It's so gross when people live up to stereotypes.
There's a woman on my parenting message board who loves Bush, is super-Fundie, and thinks Barack Obama "just looks evil."
Everyone was sharing what their husbands got them for Valentine's Day, and this woman was very excited because her husband got her a print by one of her favorite artists...
Yeah. Thomas Kinkade.
Some people just WANT to be detestable. I swear.

:P

16. I don't think he even paints all of "his" own stuff anymore, does he?
I think he has some minions to do that.
Barf.

Really, you have to ask her.

Isn't hanging a Thomas Kinkade in her house
a form of child abuse?

6. Barack Obama looks evil, but Thomas Kinkade doesn't?
What kind of bizarro world does SHE live in?

11. My clueless wealthy, yet liberal brother-in-law who even has
a picture of himself shaking Clinton's hand hanging up in his mahogany study has a Kinkade painting hanging over one of his fireplaces in his McMansion living room. My sister, his wife, had nothing to do with it! I suppose I should tell him. :crazy:

13. speaking of living up to stereotypes...
My sister-in-law hates that she cant drive. She's South Korean and knows that it only adds to the stereotype. She is trying hard to get some practice. She also laughs that she is a math teacher at the university.

15. Don't talk about my mother that way.
Just kidding. She does have the Thomas Kincade screen saver though.

19. It's a bit of an ongoing joke around these parts.
Don't let that influence your likings. If enough liberals get on the Kincaid bandwagon, it just might ruin it for the fundies!

20. It's funny that fundies fall for the whole "Thomas Kinkade is a man of God" shit.
I've read stories about how his lifestyle is full of debauchery and treating employees like shit. There's one notorious story about him groping a woman at a party out of the blue because he said her tits looked nice.
