Scyllaris doesn’t believe in anything except his next utterance, whatever it is. He won’t take a 2:1 ratio of Republican federal governing dominance over the last three decades to indicate a lack of general bias against Republicans, he won’t take their recent electoral drubbing as evidence of honest dissatisfaction with their latter efforts, and he still conflates Republicanism with Christianity when one of them gave up torturing their enemies and hiring unaccountable mercenaries to fight its wars half a millenium ago and more. Or at least didn’t start up again within the last few years.
That said, although Bachman has provided plenty of evidence in the past for a DSM IV clinical batshit diagnosis, here it seems that she’s behaving like a rational, if immoral, actor who has been rewarded and feels that she will in the future be rewarded again simply for telling outrageous lies. Look around, folks: there’s no reason for Republicans to think that’s crazy.
I have no idea what reward Syllaris thinks he will get. Possibly he thinks it will come in the hereafter, in which case his ravings might compel sympathy, though not respect.
Palin-Bachman Overdrive - ‘You ain’t seen nothin yet. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain’t seen na-, na-, nothin yet. Here’s somethin’ that you’re never gonna forget. B-, b-, b-, baby, you just ain’t seen na-, na-, nothin yet.’
One of the usual apologists will be along soon to demonstrate, by a careful parsing of the Bible and the linking of what to the rest of us appear to be randomly chosen phrases from both Testaments, that what Jesus actually said was keep your money and kick the shit out of anyone who looks at you sideways.
I gave you too much credit. It is no way shape or form “fair” to say that “the left disrespects Christianity”. And, as you may have noticed, “disrespect” is a far cry from “synonymous with corruption and feted fecal matter among liberals”. Which is what you ACTUALLY said. So, no actually you’re still no closer to answering my question.
You could simply answer the question by saying neither and explain. I know, I know, that doesn’t give you the opportunity to be Disingenuous Prick Scylla [sub]TM[/sub] which you so enjoy. Good Luck with that.
Awesome! If you are in NYC still and want to shoot me an email, I can show you around some great vampire bars. The dog will have to wait outside, though.
Michele Bachmann is a Congressman, right? And she’s maligning ACORN and characterizing them as corrupt and vile. Can you name some Democratic Congressmen who have similarly maligned Christianity? Aren’t most of them… Christian?
I’m a liberal vampire, but you’re one of the best conseratives out there.
And keep hope alive - you’re outnumbered, but we’re all vegetarian gun-control freaks against capital punishment. You can kill us and eat us, and we can’t do any of that to you.
Unless you’re a fetus - you’re not a fetus, are you?
The Dems are a glitzy slick, floor model, always selling the sizzle and missing out on the steak. You always just need the next, new, and bigger model to actually get anything done. It can handle small messes alright, but the motor starts whining and complaining when the job gets to be too big. Ultimately, you just stick it in the closet and leave it there after being disillusioned, cause the warranty expired, and you can’t get replacement parts anymore. You occasionally take it out when a long enough time has passed that you’ve forgotten all the little nuances that made it such a pain in the ass to use. You quickly relearn, though, and put it right back, shaking your head in disappointment.
On the other hand, the Pubs are big, ugly, heavy machine, but get the job done without complaining. When there’s real problems, it’s your ‘go to’ machine. It doesn’t break down. Just a little maintenance here and there, and it will last a life time, chugging away, cleaning up the mess that your fancy Hoover won’t touch, much less handle. Sure, it doesn’t have the fancy new ‘vortex’ bagless system, it’s industrial green, and has got shit all over it at the moment cause the last guy didn’t clean it up when he was done. It ain’t always pretty, but it delivers on what it promises and gets the job done.
‘Maligned’ can be prefixed by ‘rightly’ or ‘wrongly’.
Any form of Christianity that uses an interpretation of bronze-age mythology to oppress people or deny them equal rights gets the ‘rightly’ prefix.
So sure, some liberals ‘malign’ the ‘Hate thy neighbour but don’t forget to say Grace’ Christians and the theology they rode in on.
And rightly so.
ACORN however are ‘wrongly’ maligned because the basis of the accusations are blatant, self-serving lies propagated by wilful liars and too dumb to breathe unassisted morons.
