Beware of Science Fiction | Way of Life Literature

The Talibangelicals just don’t hate science. They also hate science fiction.

In the above linked post they list the “sins” of various key sci-fi authors. I read the list, and frankly I am far more given to approving of “free love” than the vile, hateful bigotry of supposed Christians who visit websites like that.

As I have consistently said, I realize that religion serves it’s good purposes, but the way it has been twisted into a culture of hate – without ANY pushback by decent people of faith – damns them all in my eyes.

Fix your problems and earn my respect. At the moment I respect individual believers but the concept as a whole has really turned me off. In short, the Book is fine; the Church not so much.

Remarks by the President on Strengthening Intelligence and Aviation Security | The White House

To advance that progress, we’ve sought new beginnings with Muslim communities around the world, one in which we engage on the basis of mutual interest and mutual respect, and work together to fulfill the aspirations that all people share — to get an education, to work with dignity, to live in peace and security. That’s what America believes in. That’s the vision that is far more powerful than the hatred of these violent extremists.

Here at home, we will strengthen our defenses, but we will not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans, because great and proud nations don’t hunker down and hide behind walls of suspicion and mistrust. That is exactly what our adversaries want, and so long as I am President, we will never hand them that victory. We will define the character of our country, not some band of small men intent on killing innocent men, women and children.

And in this cause, every one of us — every American, every elected official — can do our part. Instead of giving into cynicism and division, let’s move forward with the confidence and optimism and unity that defines us as a people. For now is not a time for partisanship, it’s a time for citizenship — a time to come together and work together with the seriousness of purpose that our national security demands.

That’s what it means to be strong in the face of violent extremism. That’s how we will prevail in this fight. And that’s how we will protect our country and pass it — safer and stronger — to the next generation.

– President Obama on improving American security

You know, because I voted for a President who takes responsibility and fixes problems instead of one who points fingers and runs away every time something dangerous happens.

Keep it up Prez!

Republican Hero: Rush Limbaugh, Traitor

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them.”

– Article III, Section III, Constitution of the United States of America

“We are at war with our own president, we are at war with our own government”

– Lush Rimjob, Traitor to the United States of America

The fat bastard finally did it, he declared himself a traitor to our nation. Somebody go find a sturdy tree.

Daily Kos: American Cartoonist Getting Death Threats from Tea Baggers

The Rethug traitors have no sense of humor.

I posted Mark Fiore’s funny Learn to Speak TeaBagger comic last week or so. But, taking a page from their al-Qaeda brothers, the Tea Bag Nation has threatened to kill the cartoonist who offended them.

I mean, I get it. Books don’t bother them, neither do articles in magazines, papers and blogs. Since they can’t actually read or think due to their Talibangelical homeschooling, words have no effect. But cartoon pictures and verbal statements that show their stupidity to all the world? Well, that’s just enough to put them in a killing mode.

Anyway, here is the original cartoon:

And then this gem that was posted on the story. It isn’t directly tied to the story but sure is funny.

Think Progress » Beck: ‘African-American is a bogus, PC, made-up term. I mean, that’s not a race.’

I mean, seriously, do Republicans just forget other people are listening or do they just plan to be this racist for the hell of it?

I mean, this comes from a guy who swears he doesn’t think of himself as a white person and that all citizens should just think of themselves as only Americans, and then says shit like, “this president has exposed himself, I think, as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or white culture.”

The irony here is this asshat can’t help himself from demanding that folks who don’t look like him refrain from declaring any type of cultural identity…in the interests of “freedom” supposedly.

My horrid racist, bigoted neighbors

A selection of comments concerning the shooting at the Federal Courthouse on Monday. There are a couple I missed because they were deleted, one of which was truly heinous. The Review-Journal story predictably has the worst of it as it is the local conservative rag. But the Sun has some filthy bastards of their own commenting.

Whew! Glad to hear the shooting victims were government union workers and not actual people.

This sad story just noiw being reported, by the media, but I predict…

Many, many, many Metro Police Officers, CCFD and LVFD firefighters were be declared as “Heroes” and we see them over and over and over again on TV, internet, radio and in the print media receiving citations, ribbons, pay raises, Hero blankets, flyovers, salutes, plaques, keys to the city, medals, etc. etc. etc. for their work as Brave Heroes!

Question: Isn’t this the job coppers and firefighters get paid so handsomely for, especially the firefighters???

P.S. Give a medal to Union Representative Ryan Beaman also. With the unions, everyone gets something right?

These animals really hate the local firefighters, as evidenced here:

Hold all the Lobster for us when the truck comes in today. We will as always, buy all the lobster you have.

We have to be gone to some silly little problem down at the Federal Building. Oh well, we’ll get plenty of overtime to sit around and shoot the breeze with the union brother cops.

See you soon,

LVFD

And this guy really has an axe to grind since his home invasion didn’t override crime still in progress.

James the Lawyer wrote on January 04, 2010 04:28 PM: To “CCFD Family”,
To answer your comment, I had a break-in at my expensive house recently. I immediately called Metro and was told by a Metro Officer they WOULD NOT COME OUT TO MY HOUSE. They will always run or sprint to the funeral parlor at the drop of hat for a union brother though.

Metro said they were too short handed and for me to call Commissioner Rory Reid and tell him to increase officer pay and staffing. The loss was over $40,000. I was told to file a written report at one of the Police Stations. Metro was probably at the funeral home forming a parade line for a fellow Hero officer…complete with balloons, candles and flowers.

I did file the break-in report and called a month later to followup and Metro had lost my 4 page report. They had no record of my report…morons.

So “CCFD Family”, see why I have ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT for you overpaid and under-worked firefighters, coppers, a/k/a by the general public the Las Vegas Morons?!!!

James The Lawyer.

P.S. Was your posted “attorney comment” a physical threat against me and/or my family? If yes, inform me of your real name.

And then there’s just generic cretins who apparently hate everyone. Mormons, Democrats, African-Americans, Firefighters, Policemen, Muslims. If you’ve got a group, they’ll hate it and want it dead:

Glad Wicks was shot and killed. Saved us taxpayers some money and Social Security too.

Yes it is true this man murdered on his job. God Be with him and his whole family.

It was abuse to victims in the story when Senator Harry Reid who lives day by second thinking how much money and power he can have over Americans, and our Country.

These politicians who are destroying our Country have no feeling for America, let alone a hard working man who is now dead to.

Translation: Man brought up thinking he’s entitled to free money finds out he’s going to have to go out and get a job since there is less free money.

Just think an entire generation in their 30s are going to find out there isn’t any social security money for them at all. FRom the article is sounds that he snapped after hearing he’s getting less (rather then none). If just .05% of the people snap like this you’ll have more combatants then some wars.

I hope there is more to this then just money but worse has been done in the name of a few dollars at a liquor store.

We are worn out from sitting in our firetrucks at the Federal Building for hours and hours and hour and earning thousands and thousands of dollars in firefighter overtime pay. The coffee and donuts from COSTCO was appreciated. Next time we need more glazed donuts and fewer sprinkles.

Just think $118 in overtime per hour pay, hell I’ll sleep in my firetruck for that amount of money any time.

Harry and Rory are my Heroes and they are Mormans like me and half my union brothers and sisters. I am black so I am double protected and will be the absolute last person to be fired. Affirmative action got me the job in the first place…and now I am a black, Morman, firefighter Hero and rich!

i love when they print happy new! Great way to start the new year. My heart does the dance of joy ever time a pig died. I hope they all burn in hell.

I mean, I’m not the hugest fan of the police, particularly the Vegas version, but never have I been thrilled at the death of a law enforcement officer of any department dying doing his job. That said, I do reserve the right to chuckle if Joe Arpaio strokes out.

There is some push back against these trolls, but it is drowned out by the hate:

A law officer is killed today and another in serious condition but hey, there’s still some pathetic union-haters finding time to contiue their holy jihad against city workers.

The poster is ONE PERSON — union-hater Helen Weils, who has a hundred aliases.

And a warning that the Rethugs have been stocking up on weapons solely because we have a black president:
