Conservative Bible Project Cuts Out Liberal Passages

Even the Bible is “too liberal” for conservatives. They are now rewriting the Word of God to get rid of things that offend them. Among the things that bother them are words like “comrade”, “peace”, and “miracle”.

They want to turn the miracle of the fishes into some kind of trickle-down parable. No, I’m not kidding.

And they want to remove all references to “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”. Still not kidding.

Okay, time for some kidding.

Salon decides to help them with their Hate Bible.

Cases in point:

John 8:3-7: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”

Jesus bent down and picked up a rock. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “OK, we start on the count of three. And if I see any of you throwing like limp-wristed sissies, you’re next.”

Matthew 9:10-13: While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

On hearing this, Jesus said, “Tax collectors? I had no idea, and wouldn’t have eaten with them if I had known, for I favor a flat tax.”

Matthew 5:21-22: You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, “You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.” But I tell you that a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, so git ‘er done.

The GOP supports rape

At least, the following senators voted to protect contractors like KBR from stopping people from turning in those who gang rape them.

Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Brownback (R-KS) – isn’t he supposedly really religious?
Bunning (R-KY)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK) – this from an obstetrician even
Cochran (R-MS)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
DeMint (R-SC)
Ensign (R-NV) – yet more reason I’m ashamed to be represented by this prick
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Inhofe (R-OK) – no big surprise, he even looks like a rapist
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kyl (R-AZ)
McCain (R-AZ) – and the Rethugs wanted this guy as president
McConnell (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Thune (R-SD)
Vitter (R-LA) – given that he likes whoring around, not a shocker
Wicker (R-MS)

Basically, these are a pack of pro-rapist thugs, led in all but name by McCain, a guy who decided to cheat on his wife because she lost her looks in a near-fatal car wreck. Many of the rest seem to have real dismal opinions of women as well.

Thankfully there are not in the majority in our government, and hopefully change their damn ways if they ever get there again.

Keith Olbermann’s Hour Long Special Comment on Health Insurance Reform: Health Care Reform, Saving American Lives

This should be required viewing for every member of Congress that still believes they owe their jobs to their electorate. If you need just the transcript, you can get that here.

Here is Nick Kristof’s story on the Waddington family and the sons who have been advised NOT to try to donate a kidney to their father. Keith referenced this story tonight and I remember reading it the other day in an increasingly blind rage.

I heard most of the sad story of Heather and Dave Mroz tonight on the way home. If this doesn’t make you want to beat the living hell out of an insurance executive, I’m not sure I want to know you anymore.

REPUBLICANS FURIOUS OVER SUDDEN U.S. POPULARITY

Another fine post by Dingeldein. Click the link for proper links and such.

By BCAB Chief Rush-Limbaugh-Should-Shut-The-Fuck-Up Correspondent Elvis Dingeldein.

Oh Teh Christ™, if only Barack Obama were as popular in his own country (Psst: That’s “America,” Wingnut Douchebags!) as he is worldwide right now! While Republicans are taking out ads in Soldier of Fortune and using Vicks Vap-O-Rub to whip up some phony face tinkle, Democrats are poking Progressives in their Angry Mad Growly Faces and Progressives are readying themselves to MoveOn (dot-ROAR!) because the President hasn’t yet rescinded Don’t Ask Don’t Tell while kicking the doors off the hinges at Guantanamo in a spectacular A-Team-style raid to free all the wrongly-testicle-tasered brown people, huzzah!

But as we all argue about which of us hates President Obama the most and for what Totally Non-Racist Reasons, the rest of the fucking planet loves them some O-Man:

The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll. It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan which completed the top five nations in the Nation Brand Index (NBI).

Oops! Sorry, Rush Limbaugh, you disease-ridden porcine fuckhole: Seems the rest of the world thinks America kicks ass, Obamastyle. Apparently in a post-Bush world, the best way to whip up international support for America is to run all over the world telling foreigners how much we suck! A little honesty, some Tough Love, and we’re back on top, bitches! WE’RE VAGUELY TO BLAME! WE’RE VAGUELY TO BLAME!

See, a Fat Suppurating Sack of Weasel Scrota like Limbaugh tends to forget that a whopping huge chunk of the planet whose axis is dangerously destabilized by his massive fatness is some shade of brown or another. Whoops! That means that while his filthy racist mouth earns him Teeth-Flashing Guffawfery from the Big Deliverance Banjo Brigade in the toothless hooch hollers of Appalachia, the rest of the Big Brown World can judge America and her new president without the Honky-Colored Glasses, where everything is still 1955 (or better yet, 1855) and Liking Ike was cool, Daddio, because he played golf and took naps in his footie jim-jams and had the occasional stroke on the East Lawn.

So you Teabagging Wingnuts keep up the good work cheering our Olympic Fail and rooting for the Statue of Liberty to fall over and crush a 4th of July field trip of blind apple-pie-baking orphans with Bald Eagle Leukemia; the rest of the world thinks we’re the tits, if only because we’re free enough to allow pig-ignorant fascist suck-merchants like Limbaugh to speak in public without an electrified genital cuff wired to a Whack-A-Mole.
