I love this fundy attitude:

[bluestateguy]

Still, some Southern women remain stalwart supporters of the president and the Republican Party. At a watermelon festival in Chickamauga, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, substitute teacher Clydeen Tomanio said she remains committed to the party she's called home for 43 years.

"There are some people, and I'm one of them, that believe George Bush was placed where he is by the Lord," Tomanio said. "I don't care how he governs, I will support him. I'm a Republican through and through."

Hmmm. She's from Georgia and she's been a Republican for 43 years. That would be 1963. right around when Democrats became the civil rights party. Just speculating.

[CarlVK]

1. "I don't care how he governs"???

Some people are simply too stupid to live.

[pepperbear]

34. It sure does explain alot

If she is any indication of the current GOP cow mindset.

[dorkulon]

38. Read John Dean's 'Conservatives Without Conscience'

It explains that she, unfortunately, is.

[John Gauger]

39. I'll say so

How is that even possible? So you just beleive it is the will of God to do terrible things to this nation?

[sarcasmo]

40. We can not defeat Religious brainwashing.

[lonestarnot]

2. attitdue? is that french?

[bluestateguy]

3. Fixed

I have slippery fingers at the keyboard.

[lonestarnot]

14. You have probably seen some of my joners.

[beam me up scottie]

4. "I don't care how he governs, I will support him. "

You just can't make this stuff up. :banghead:

[me b zola]

22. It explains a lot, eh?

Rob the treasury? Sure, as long as it's bush* doing the robbing!

Tap your phone? Sure, as long as it's bush* doing the listening!

Eat cake while people are drowning in NO? Sure, as long as bush* enjoyed his cake!

...I could go on...and on....and on...



This really does explain a lot about how our country got into the shape we're in :(

[beam me up scottie]

26. Sure does. And so does the name "Clydeen".

:rofl:

[Bluebear]

28. She was named for the Budweiser horses.

It's the feminine derivative of Clydesdale. Honest. :)

[beam me up scottie]

29. Was "Buddette" was already taken?

Or was it too close to "Bubbette", her cousin's name?

[me b zola]

33. Hey, Clydeen is prolly somebody's Auntie-Grandma

:rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

35. sNort!

It would be easy to convince someone like her that marrying your brother isn't a bad thing, wouldn't it?

Just tell her Georgie said it was okay.

:evilgrin:

[me b zola]

37. Now we've gotten to the nut of it...

She doesn't care how little georgie governs because he is one of "her kind";)
:cue banjo music:

[NanceGreggs]

5. ""I don't care how he governs ..."

Obviously.

[YDogg]

6. Here's ol' Clydeen.

In the red dress, naturally. She looks friendly enough, but she's a fuckin' moran.

11. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm SNOWBLIND!

All those white faces...

[Mist]

12. That's not a dress--in fact, it looks like an orange prison jump suit! nt

[TommyO]

18. It looks more like a prison jumpsuit

than a dress. Maybe she was dressing the same way that * will eventually be dressing.

[MikeNearMcChord]

21. Caption this: The meeting of the Georgia State Branch of

The American Norsefire Party! (Ok I finally saw V for Vendetta)B-)

[Bluebear]

23. Designs by Chez Gitmo? nt

[beam me up scottie]

31. I simply must have one!

My BF loves it when we role play - I'm usually the prisoner. :D

[zanne]

25. It's the trauma of being named "Clydeen". nt

[Monkeyman]

7. Yep no more speculating its fact

[riderinthestorm]

8. "Placed by the Lord"... and SCOTUS, and Diebold and.... nt

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Yah, that kind of goes without saying.

I'd be hard pressed to imagine how he could have fucked up more than he already has. Short of getting a blowjob or converting to Judaism on live tv, there's NOTHING he could do which would lose these pinheaded lugnuts.

[Maestro]

10. At least some from the article

are breaking the fool in office. That is positive. There is nothing you can do though about some like Tomanio who obviously has some intellect issues.

[opihimoimoi]

13. Where the Hell is the De Programming Unit and what have they been doing

to elevate people from the level they at to a place where they can see more.....?

We need Group Therpy Real Bad.....Where is it?

The Dems can pull it off.

If they get off their butts they can.

[lonestarnot]

15. Once a nazi always a nazi.

[Deja Q]

16. Once something affects her personally, she'll change her mind.

[GreenTea]

17. She doesn't give a shit how many kids Bush sends to their death...

Because she just knows that she's right...Now where did she get this bullshit....there's no facts just that same right-wing lying shit...over and over again...pushing Bush as a born again...and this idiot woman is so lost, such a stupid sheep - whatever the republicans tell her, becomes a fact to her, a lie, something made up, doesn't matter she'll believe it---Dumb arrogant asshole---And she doesn't care, that she's ignorant...Even if she's knows she's wrong, she feels better to believe a lie, it's easier, and its what she wants to believe so fuck it that she wrong, sick fuck!

[donco6]

19. And I've always wondered . . .

. . . with these types, if God sets leaders in place (as the Bible says), why don't they support Dems whey THEY'RE elected? God only sets Republican leaders in place?

[karlrschneider]

20. Found this a few days ago. We had some laffs...

24. "Wellll, he hates the same people ah dew" Stupid cracker wench

[undeterred]

27. I don't care if my husband beats me to a pulp

I believe Marriage is sacred and lasts forever. I'll stand by my man. :sarcasm:

Same mentality, different issue.

[Bluerthanblue]

30. her thinking even 'fundie' wise is flawed-

I know she's thinking of the bible verse that states that god puts the rulers in place, and that 'we' are to obey them for that reason,

BUT

(wish I understood how to make words big, because this is a big BUT)

There was no such thing as leader elected by the governed when the old testament OR the new testament were written.

AND if 'god' wanted us to just accept whatever 'leaders' do, then would that also not have applied to Hitler??

And, if everything that happens is REALLY god's will, then he wanted 9/11 to happen- and he wants Iraq to happen, and he is a liar and a hypocrite.


Not to mention the countless 'fundies' who did NOT obey, support or respect Clinton when he was President, quite the opposite.
Smorgasboard scripture- only if it 'feels good' and 'fits our agenda'-

:puke:

[I_Make_Mistakes]

36. The Bible stuff is BS, I think Jesus came to show the religious

leaders that it is bull. He was a leader of a small band of good people, but he was not born a king nor escalated to anywhere near a "leader" determined by man during his LIFEtime.

One has to look at the New Testament (Gospels) to see that Jesus refuted so much of the Old Testament, that he was crucified. Man, always tries to define the un-definable, GOD!

[Bluerthanblue]

43. can't say

that I agree completely, but we agree more than we disagree on this.

And I agree, - humans always want to have things 'just so'- much of life does not fit into that box- and while 'humans' may be 'intelligent' (sometimes I honestly wonder)- we do not, and will not ever understand all that there is to know in this world-

peace,
blu

[I_Make_Mistakes]

45. Sorry that came out wrong, I actually have 3 bibles and read them

frequently. I meant the RW use of the Bible to prove their points is wrong! I am a Liberal Like Jesus type!

[Bluerthanblue]

49. not sure it was you,

I can be pretty dense.

We're comin from the same place.

[rwenos]

32. The Man on the White Horse

Take another scan of Revelation lately? Little old southern ladies want a Great White Father to come along, with the Answer. The world they grew up in was shattered by the Civil Rights Movement. Their hatred of the Democratic Party for that insult is visceral, historic and unending. The Democratic Party became, in the 1960's, the Devil who shattered their icon, the old Jim Crow apartheid system.

Is there any wonder they think Georgie, with his liberal use of scripture, is the Man on the White Horse?

More like the pale rider: "Behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

All I can say to that lady is "beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves."

[SpiralHawk]

41. Pale Rider. George AWOL Skull & Bonesboy Bush ?

[Odin2005]

42. The main problem is that people undstand the world through thier concepts.

The fundies conceive of the world in a totally different way then we do. The average Westerner understands the world in an an empircal fashion (meaning that reality is rational and can be studied objectively). The Fundies understand the world in a dogmatic fasion, that is they think that if what they see contradicts what they are taught they blame some evil force perverting thier senses rather then reject what they have been taught.

[mainer]

44. We've got to convince these fundies he's the Anti-Christ

And one of the evil Nephilim. That's the only thing the fundies understand -- the lore of the end times.

[TahitiNut]

46. Partly right. He "was placed where he is by the Lord" of The Flies!!

Beelzedubya: beneficiary of Baal'zebub. Just like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pinochet, Batista, Pol Pot, and many others.

It's a common misunderstanding. :shrug:

[alarimer]

47. Vote Republican; it's easier than thinking

Brainwashed idiots. "I don't care how he governs." ???? Than what is the point of having elections?

[bobbieinok]

48. some students said God reached into the FL ballot boxes + W won

I said 'My God doesn't steal elections.'

They just stared at me blankly.
