The Rehabilitation Of Joseph McCarthy? Texas Textbooks Process Grinds On | TPMMuckraker

That bastard Don McLeroy may have lost his seat on the Texas State School Board, but there are still plenty of Talibangelical jackasses who want to destroy our education system.

These are the pricks who honestly think that Joe McCarthy is some kind of American hero. No, seriously.

These people have literally got to be stopped. Not in a lethal sense, but their point of view, their derangement, their flawed thinking and beliefs. Their disease has got to stop being taken seriously.

Yes, it starts with an election, but this is one in Rethug-ruled Texas. Even a possibly moderate Republican is going to have Luddite and Talibangelical tendencies, if not Tea Bag Traitor ones come re-election time.

We need our children educated, not fed fairy tales and lies. We want them to open their minds and not close their hearts. That’s what the Republicans want to give our people: hate, fear, ignorance. Never forget that.

Stay vigilant folks!

Even when Rethugs attempt to understand technology (“It’s a series of TUBES!!!!), they screw it up. Here is Bush’s former Director of National Intelligence (wow, talk about a heckuvajob kinda guy) still trying to turn somewhat valid fears into ways to spy on Americans and earn profits for his pals.

Seriously, where do these guys get off calling themselves patriots when they are all about trading freedom for profits?

Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture – BusinessWeek

Since I’m jaded, my main thought upon reading this article is “why didn’t *I* come up with this?”

That said, the guy seems legit in caring for animals, if not in believing Talibangelical paranoia.

Because, honestly, the world can get WAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than it is right now, even without conservative teenage anal sex, bombing brown people, and planting new nuclear plants in former Confederate states (yes, rednecks, Obama is actually prepping you twits for the next Three Mile Island, HA! HA! HA! HA!).

Sorry, just had to add a new conspiracy theory out there.

Robertson: “God Even Angrier with Chile than Haiti” – The Desperate Blogger – Open Salon

This is funny.

Not so much the story, though that’s entertaining. What is hilarious is that people are taking this story seriously. Yes, it’s satire. It is made up.

The same folks pissed that they were duped should really be asking themselves how they believed this. Is it so well written that they were hoodwinked? I mean, I like the article but no.

The real answer is that Pat Robertson is such a reprehensible shitheel that you can’t help but believe he uttered things like:

“If I had to guess, I’d say it must have to do with Chile’s persecution and attempted prosecution of their great former leader, and a personal hero of mine, Augusto Pinochet – who, it should be noted, had never been convicted of a crime when the Lord called him home three years ago.”

And I’m sure the Talibangelicals will create the “Christian” form of a murder fatwa for the author once they get together and rub their two collective brain cells together and gin up another bad idea.
