Maybe if the fundies fast properly, they'll be too weak to drag themselves to the polls. One can but hope.

"Let wicked people swell up...". Discuss with reference to Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh.

Hey, a few more Rick Perry prayathons-in-lieu-of-doing-stuff just might get enough people fed up with the whole freaking GOP. Even Texans must have a limited capacity for official idiocy.

<i>Perry insisted that the separation of church and state is a myth “driven by the secularists to remove those people of faith from the public arena.” </i>

Jesus' wanted separation of church and state. Besides the old "render unto Caesar" bidness, he preached that the government (Roman troops and so forth) had no power over him: "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).

And, unlike Rick Perry, Jesus was no fan of the death penalty, especially toward the end. (Terribly enough, when God tells Abraham to kill his son Isaac, Abraham obeys but is stopped at the last second by some angels sent by God. In the parallel story of Jesus' crucifixion, God lets the execution take place. So no "World's Greatest Dad' coffee mug for God.)

I'd love to see a Cheney / Perry deathmatch. Cheney with his 12 ga. and Perry with his .44 magnum with laser sight and scope ... it could only turn out badly, by which I mean good.

TX actually has some good schools. But like Louisiana, everyone leaves the state after attending them.

If only all wingtards would simply fast and pray when they didn't get their way. But "fast and pray" usually translates and "run around hysterically screaming and calling the nearest AM radio station every five minutes"

Peasants. They never did go away, did they?

<i>"you think about this spiritual warfare that’s going on and [inaudible] going strong as President Obama and his cronies in Washington continue their efforts to remove any trace of religion from American life"</i>

OK, help me out here, I keep hearing about this and yet the only thing I remember even remotely supportive of this is that Obama acknowledged atheists in his inauguration address.

You know what? Fuck Rick Perry. Fuck him right in the ear.

I am so tired of this shit, I can't be bothered to think up something witty.
