What the hell is going on?
I turned on the TV when I got home tonight, and Chris Mathews is blathering on about that idiot Quran burner Pastor Terry Jone making a deal not to burn them if the NYC Mosque/Community Center was moved. From what I got Sarah Palin twittered the idea and John Boehner had some connection. What the hell is wrong with these people? Are they insane putting the Mosque non-issue out their for these idiots to use it as a hostage to their Quran burning....

I am utterly flabbergasted by this whole situation. Is anyone else here as pissed off as me?

1. pissed off? about this? No, not really.
Minor ripple in the history of the world. Kind of bored with it and looking forward to the next great calamity.

2. They are stirring up hate and violence hoping it will
increase the republicans chances in November. We all know that. All real Americans that is. The stupid and ignorant and the radical do but won't admit it, they love the mess these republicans are causing.

Even if all he had was a hangnail, it would be news.

4. My favorite author and Cracked Cassandra Robt A. Heinlein
in his 'future history' says that we are living through the 'Crazy Years'.
He sort of predicted fairly closely about American Religious Hysteria coming to the fore in the late 20 C. He died in 1988. Most of his writing was done from 1939(first published work) to late 70s.
He did not get everything right, but came close.

5. someone put the match to this on purpose
probably bonerhead and the media always goes along with what the Pugs need. This story is a nonstory. It is unfuckingbelievable it's getting worldwide attention - some nobody bible thumper in Wheresville...

It's a trick. And it's fucking scary beyond belief - watch for more. The U.S. has officially gone nuts.

7. So the hypocrytical bastard of a pastor
doesn't really want to burn the Quoran over the fact the Molsems won't accept Christianity as their religion....as originally reported? because you know regardless of the location of the Mosque, they are still not going to convert to Christianity.
