'Tis the season

Yes, they're still pushing the "Obama is a Muslim" thing and one of the reasons must be that a central theme of the last presidential contest was that he was not only "the most liberal senator in American History," but a Marxist, a concept that is getting harder and harder to pin on our rather deliberate, frustratingly centrist and sometimes rather too conservative president. After all, an absurd claim is harder to counter and outrageous fabrications draw followings in inverse proportion to evidentiary support.

Legalizing 'Drugs' or prostitution are out of the question as a spur to the economy said President Obama to a student in Allentown Pennsylvania yesterday. Regardless of his reasons for the statement, it's not the opinion of a "far left socialist radical" trying to make us just like European Socialists. Better to rave about conspiracies to pass a Kenyan off as a native born American because the evidence is, that Obama is at best a centrist on social issues like allowing gays to serve in the military and no more of a Marxist than anyone at Goldman Sachs.

If only the knuckle draggers behind the Muslim libel wouldn't try to give evidence for it! The idiot mayor of some two-bit suburb of Memphis is blogging that the President's speech on Tuesday announcing 30,000 extra troops to fight Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan deliberately was scheduled to preempt that night's broadcast of A Charlie Brown Christmas , with its "Christian message" because as a Muslim, he hates our holiday "traditions." After all, Jesus himself watched the program as a child, didn't he? That's not of course, even contorted logic, it's bullshit. I would love to ask Mayor Russell Wiseman if Franklin Roosevelt was a closet Shinto supporter for choosing the Christmas season to ask Congress to declare war on Japan.
"Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation [sic] about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...."

said the ironically named Wiseman. Sorry, Russ, the answer is none of your damned business and none of the Government's business as concerns what any of us think about God, Christmas, Charlie Brown, the Son of God or the Son of Sam. The question is whether we consider you as a traitor for giving aid and comfort to the Taliban by calling Obama one of them, or for misrepresenting the Constitution and advocating that we replace it with your infantile and ignorant beliefs.

If this is Conservative thought in America then all our asylums are filled with Republicans.

  2. I am never comfortable with people who are aggressively Christian. A couple of years ago I got cornered at work (in a hospital) by a patient's pastor, who insisted he was going to save me from going to hell. (He based his knowledge of me going to hell, apparently, on my name and my bindi dot.)

    I eventually had to get firm with him and told him that I was at work, on the clock, and that whilst at work on the clock the only concern I had was saving my patients, and that he needed to get out of my way so I could see to just that.

    I'm pretty open about my beliefs, and we can talk about them if you want, but I'm not going to stand by and let you interrogate me about my relationship with Jesus, or listen to lurid descriptions of the hell you're so sure I'm heading for. Let's not even get into the condescension and patronizing tones people use at a time like this.

    Why does it always seem to be the Christians who are like this, and who demand not only to put their beliefs into local, state, and federal law, but also demand that their politicians not only be Christian, but the same type of Christian (how many Full Gospel Holiness, AOG, or for that matter, Catholic presidents have we had?)

    And why is everything they don't like construed as an 'attack against Christianity'????

    I can't figure it out.

  3. If they can brand themselves as victims, then perhaps no one will notice how they victimize others. It's an old trick.

    A group I'm involved in was in the local Christmas parade yesterday. Last week when the rules for floats were announced, it was presented that there would be no Santas allowed.

    You would have thought a fight was about to break out - chairs were pushed back, people began to stand up in protest, loud exclamations of "what?" "PC" and "Liberal" were only cut off when the sentence was finished and it was learned that the lead float would be a Santa Claus float and they didn't want duplication.

    The true symbol of Christmas in America isn't a tree or a plastic baby surrounded by goats - it's a great big chip on everyone's shoulder.

  4. The REAL reason!!! behind the speech was to preempt the season finale of V, which as you no doubt have heard is about alien reptiles wearing human skin taking over the planet with free health care.

    Obama just doesn't want "the truth" to get out.

  5. "alien reptiles wearing human skin taking over the planet"

    It wouldn't be the first time.

  6. A point of clarification: There are "alien" reptiles and earth-born reptiles. Just remember: Bloggingdino is ONE OF US!

  7. One of us, but an Allosaurus is hardly a reptile. Theropods were warm blooded and may share a common ancestor with the birds.

  8. True on the theropod issue, though of course we stand in solidarity with crocs, gators, and other such.

    "Threat" (along with an offer of ultimate insights not available to outsiders), is a powerful means whereby groups define themselves -- there's no doubt that the looney-tuners on the right will continue to see our president as a conspiratorial communo-fascist muslim-and-atheist foreigner right on through to January 2017, when his successor is sworn in. But I expect that the majority will continue to like the fellow, and I think he will be re-elected in 2012.

  9. I do hope so but I fear more for his safety than that he'll lose to a Cheney/Palin ticket.
