Blame MoveOn and McCain

November 18, 2009

Today’s quotes that might shock a democrat/independent or three…off their couches of apathy.

Frank Schaeffer is a former evangelist turned human.  Franks says the religious right is trawling for assassins.

“The situation that I find genuinely frightening right now,” Schaeffer explained, “is that you have a ramping up of biblical language … and what it’s coalescing into is branding Obama … as ‘not us.’ … Now he joins the ranks of the unjust kings of ancient Israel … who should be slaughtered, if not by God then by just men.”

“Really, this is trawling for assassins,” continued Schaeffer, “and this is serious business. It’s un-American, it’s unpatriotic, and it goes to show that the religious right, the Republican far right, have coalesced into a group that truly want American revolution. … They cannot be dismissed as just crazies on the fringe. … This bumper sticker simply says to them, ‘It’s open season.'”

Appearing increasingly agitated, Schaeffer went on to say, “This is the American version of the Taliban. The Taliban quotes the Koran, and Al Qaeda quotes certain verses in the Koran, in or out of context, calling for jihad and bloody war and the curse of Allah on infidels. This is the Old Testament biblical equivalent of calling for holy war. … And what surprises me is that responsible — if you can put it that way — Republican leadership, and the editors at some of these Christian magazines …. do not stand up in holy horror and denounce this.”

And from the always busy and always blogging on important things…Andrew Sullivan.  Except Andrew has not done anything today…for the first time in ten years at the Dish.

Why?  Because according to Andrew, the book from the leader of the Republican Party is so full of lies, disturbing delusions and fantasy…that he needs to take time to decipher its insanity and will get back to us asap.

Andrew says, “she is a deeply disturbed person which makes this work of fiction and fact all the more challenging to read. And the fact that she is now the leader of the Republican party and a potential presidential candidate, makes this process of deconstruction an important civil responsibility.”

I blame John McCain, MoveOn.org and Homeland Security for the unleashing of her Rogueness and her flock of idiots.

Just ask her brother.  Her brother says she’s just a bitch…with a
golden chain.

    Notice how the right objects to putting the Guantanamo prisoners on trial, in the US? These fundamentalists who’ve captured the Republicans from the right are opposed to the rule of law.

    Again. They are opposed to the rule of law.

    Everybody get it?

    In that context, Mr. Schaeffer’s observations should come as no surprise.

    I guess I’ll need to rely on Mr. Sullivan and his staff, the staff of the Daily show, and you lens, to tell me about Palin’s book. I ain’t spending any money for it. Ever.

      Okay barman, you asked. The real story behind Going Rogue: The Coeur d’ Alene Months.

      It was a cold night in Coeur d’Alene, but a great night for patriots. Myself, Little Mike and several other of Fairchild Air Force base’s finest, were hanging out at Peabody’s. The beer sucked. But it was cheap, so that made up for it.

      The action was pretty slow that night, the boys and I had already used up most of our good lines like “hey, have you ever sat in the lap of a B-52 pilot?” and were fast becoming bored of beating the shit out of a few locals and college boys. When in walked a vision.

      My vision was blurry, but I’m fairly confident said vision was a she. Having double checked her female status with Martinez, I had to re-check again with someone else. Martinez could never keep his genders straight.

      The vision was a girl, and what a girl she was. Brown hair and meaty thighs from playing basketball we surmised. Her and her dumpy looking friend immediately looked our way. Yeah, we were cock sure and ready for anything…but this girl was different. She was made up of different stuff than most girls we’d met at Peabody’s. This one could walk and breath at the same time, so we knew we had our work cut out for us…

      A quick glance over at Little Mike and Schwartz…and I knew I was up.

      Apprehension wasn’t in my make up. I was a trained killer, ready for anything. The band of brothers and I would in the not to distant future, be killing Iraqis for God, country and as it turned out, the daycare kids at the Spokane YMCA we’d recently visited and demonstrated how to choke someone out in less than 30 seconds.

      But this girl, this girl reeked of smoky craziness and moose hide. She bothered me. But I could tell by the way her one good eye was looking at me…that I bothered her too.

      So by now, this vision of a girl was a good ten feet from our table…I stood up and she sat down. Being that it was ladies night; the beer was free for her. But I pretended to buy her one for effect. That one free beer became eight with a two corn dog chaser.

      She said she was from Alaska, she said she had big plans and those plans did not include me.
      Those plans included three more colleges, a guy named Todd, a bushel of kids and several felonies…none of which she ever planned on doing time for.

      This girl was nuts. She wouldn’t shut up or stop drinking. All five of us enlisted types were beginning to see the writing on the wall…that’s why we were enlisted types. We could see the writing on the wall.

      Thus ends the most interesting chapter of Sarah’s life. I could go on, but I might hurt myself…

      There you have it barman…my tongue and cheek insight into the rogue girl and cheap beer…which reminds me of another story…

      Guess I’ll be waiting for Andrew Sullivan and the others too!!

    It seems you followed the hallowed tail gunner’s advice: never put your johnson into crazy!

    Great story, I’m proud of you.

      Well if crazy can ghost write a few chapters of nonsensical lies and half truths…why can’t I?

      I could use a ghost though.

      Besides, Peabody’s, Flaherty’s, Albertini’s and Fort Spokane just do not get enough mention in the blogosphere. Maybe the Cowles could slide a six figure deal my way to revise the Inland Empire’s history…as seen through my eyes. It’s not like I’m offering to build a structurally unsound parking garage via food stamps.

      Thanks barman…
