Presenting: Fundie Quote of the Day. And a new word, also.
From a Facebook comment:

"I watch the real news channel and thats FoxNews! Obama is trying to implement the abortion factor in hospitals to where if you are not going to assist a Dr. in an abortion, then you will lose your job! That is obsured! and it dumbs down the freedom of religion factor in the constitution! He does not defend the constitution nor does he defend the United States of America! He isnt even black! He is mixed!"

Obsured, indeed.!

1. Does this "freedom of religion factor"
allow people like us to refuse to work with idiots like her?

23. It's a new game show!
Edited on Fri Dec-11-09 09:45 AM by Mugweed
It's sort of like the old Fear Factor, but totally Old Testament. In one episode a contestant has to sacrifice his own child to show loyalty to god. It's tough to get on the show, though. The ark building time trial really weeds out a lot of people.

On edit: I have no idea why I'm replying to you with this totally unrelated post.

40. I rather like that idea
It will keep the fundaloons busy so they can't be screwing up the lives of innocents with anti-gay legislation, the "War on Christmas", TEA parties and other such shit.

25. Check out the websites...
..."Fundies Say the Darndest Things" or "Rapture Ready"; plenty of crazy to go around, but they're always good for a laugh.

3. With the exception of the remark about abortion, that sounds like a dumber version of stuff we hear
from the supposed "Left".

7. I am from the "supposed left" and I wonder
Does the constitution have anything to say about the Power of foreign Treaties? Such as Geneva Accords? Is Obama defending that aspect of the constitution?

12. I was refering to the false Lefties, actually, posers who place a higher priority
on destroying the system than they do on concrete grassroots steps toward a Liberal reality.

If you disagree with me on that, I suspect that we differ over whether we should be starting at the top of the power pyramid or the bottom. I'm a people person and I'm working at THE bottom and we ARE making changes and if this power-struggle over our heads comes down on us and destroys what we have going on, it's going to be death panels FOR REAL for us and I suspect that so much of the power elite will survive whatever happens at the top that it will only be a question of time before we have the same old tyranny with a "new" face on it. The ONLY thing that will change any of the, IMHO, is to have enough of the PEOPLE with us when it happens that the People will be immune to their shit and will keep on doing their own thing.

Aside from the fact that the internet is full of posers trying to destroy others so they can get back in power, which, of course, may NOT include you Toots, it is also a FACT that everyone is concentrated on the top of the political pyramid and little or nothing is being done about concrete organizing for grassroots economics (except in RIGHT WING churches - another reason any deposition of Obama will be less than successful at kicking off a REAL Revolution).

13. I in no way wish to depose Obama
I wish for Obama to stand solid for American ideals. So far I have been very disappointed. The only tool I have to affect change is my voice. If I don't use it then it must mean I approve..

14. We MUST look for creative solutions around us, otherwise it's going to be the same old shit.
People serve functions at different levels in the processes; someone must create pressure to defend the Constitution; Prosecute War Crimes; Reform Banking/Wall Street . . . but it's ALL a matter of timing what happens as pressure starts causing things (good and bad) to happen. Think about "the vulnerables" around you as reply. If they don't have a right to Life, do you?

19. It's especially weird because the misspelling is so "baroque".
The word "absurd" is one of the few words in English that is actually spelled just the way it sounds. No silent letters, each letter contributes its "usual" sound, etc. Yet this person, who clearly does not read but must have heard Rush or Sean say "absurd" a few times, takes a guess at the spelling (why look it up? They're conservative) and comes out with the bizarre variant "obsured", with its silent "e", potentially non-sibilant "s" (as in "sure"), and "o" used for a short "a" sound.

This person clearly does not know much about their own language. Duh! We already established that they are conservative (dictionary definition: "stupid"; or is it "ztewppot"?).

21. The only retro-active birth control I know of is war.
which is not selective in the political orientation of its victims.
( except for the fact that the war creators do not fight, of course. They rake in the money).

but..I digress. After yesterday's Norway events, I needed a laugh. Thus, the above.

27. I got a whopper of a quote too.
One of my "Friends on Facebook". I went to high school, and I honestly thought that when I added her, she was liberal, though I hadn't exactly talked to her. Boy was I wrong.

Post:

________ voted in the poll "Do you think ''gay marrige'' should be shoved in our faces & be accepted by our children?"

Her: HECK NO!!! >.>;;; I hope my children don't know about homosexuals until they are in highschool. Because it's just not right... It's not a genetic disorder, it's a chance a person makes because they are to lazy to fall for their own sexuality or it's because people say it's okay. The homosexual numbers are growing because it's okay now, well it's not okay. It's not right.

Me: Or it could be a naturally occurring thing. Did you choose to be straight? Besides, with all the persecution they still face (can't marry, can't join the military, unrelenting hate from people who fear them because they're different) , would anybody go through that bigotry willingly?

Her: To tell you the truth, the meaning of marriage is when a "man" gets married to a "woman". It's not a natural thing, not even close. I mean, it's a psychological disorder, when a man or woman goes back to their "happy place" or "gay place". Using Fraud's knowledge of things. And yes, people make that decision all the time, more females then males. They do it at parties and stuff because the other gender says it "hot". It's welcomed in our nation now because people are being stupid in allowing it. To tell you the truth, it is laziness or someone need to be accepted. It's basic genetic science and basic psychology.

Me: You do make a good point. When girls do it at parties, it is purely for attention. But when two people are truly in love, it's real. It's welcomed in our nation now? I'd tell that to the victims of hate crimes still carried out against GLBT people. I'd tell that to the person who can't see their partner in the hospital. I'd tell that to the people who had marriage rights, then had them taken away by voters.

And I'm really not sure what laziness is involved in anything.

Her: Everyone is part of a hate crime though, and that is a fact, it's not just the fags(And I'm not talking about cigarettes here). And it is pure laziness, a man or a woman allowing themselves to be swept under the rug because they can't find a lover of a different sex. Also, the attention getters have a higher chance to become gay because of this. ... See MoreAnd it's not love, it's pure lust, curved by the thoughts that they are in love, but it's just a sexual craving. And once again, that is a psychological proved fact, by none other then Fraud.

Me: Holy shit, did you honestly just refer to them as "fags"? For some reason I expected more. Being gay due to not finding an opposite sex lover is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. BTW - Freud (spelling it Fraud is kind of funny) is kinda considered, umm...out there.

OH FUCK! Still waiting for a response. Fighting stupidity, one moran at a time.

29. Stunning continuation:
Edited on Fri Dec-11-09 10:37 AM by tmyers09
Her: Shhh... I know how to spell it, I'm high on very powerful pain killers do to a wisdom teeth pull out, reason why my spelling and grammer is worse then it normally is.

And yes, I did refer them to being fags, being that the word means a slur for a homosexual or effeminate man. Like N****r (I censored for this board) means black. I'm not doing anything wrong, I know the meaning, and I'm using it.

Her: But once again, In all righteous meaning: homosexual are just going back to there most pleased location in a sexual manner. I really don't see an love there.

Me: What the FUCK! And you don't see that the disgusting usage of either word is offensive to any reasonable person?

The pain killers makes this whole thing make some more sense. Clearly, it's affecting your ability to think.

Her: >.>;;; I always believed in this. And yes, it's not disgusting.

Me: Ok, the fact that you think the words "fag" and "n****r" (again censored for this board) are acceptable in dialogue, pretty much sums up this little conversation.

Only about 1600 kids in my high school, about 350 in my graduating class. Southeast Michigan. Probably not as bad as Wasilla, but full of wannabe Rednecks. These jokes all drove old trucks with Confederate flags in the back, and would obnoxiously peel out or squeal their tires every fucking day. They also thought they were hardass cause they chewed tobacco. :eyes:
