Stupid Republican idea of the day

Maybe normie guilt over the plight of the mentally handicapped was responsible for Bachmann’s brief presidential hopes.

The degree of narcissism in American political life (Jesus died so America could be free) is breath taking.

Ya know, that’s far from the craziest thing she’s ever said. There probably are a number of white voters who, all things being equal, felt queasy about voting against a black man and/or felt it was time to give a black man a shot.

That number probably shrinks to insignificance compared to the number of voters who would rather vote for Mickey Mouse, Lyndon LaRouche or Josef Stalin than a black man.

That’s right!
It’s still Rape Month, right?

A vignette from the 2008 campaign trail:

If it weren’t a metaphor wouldn’t he actually be buying real swords?

That is going to be a surprise to a bunch of guys at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Also, If the All-Mighty was the scrivener, what if anything did He have to do with the amendments? Just maybe He was involved in numbers 13, 14 and 15, but surely the Deity had nothing to do with number 16.

Somehow I have trouble imagining that The Lord God had anything to do with the 3/5 compromise, either.

Charlatans pandering to idiots, that is to say Republicans…

I especially loved this part: “…And Jesus destroyed Satan so that we could be free and that is manifested in what is called the Constitution of the United States…”

The war is over, Satan is dead! Of course, it makes one wonder who we are to blame the next time one of these hypocrites get caught blowing some guy in an airport restroom…

Well, Obama! Duh.

If God wrote the Constitution, does that mean that He doesn’t believe that black people are the equals to white people?

Actually, the (original) Constitution does not exactly mention black people . . . or use the “s” word.

And the 21st seems to be incompatible with the idea of omniscience. Not to mention that the 18th seems incompatible with the idea of a benevolent God, but then the sort of deity people like Tom DeLay worship has never really struck me as benevolent to begin with.

True, but the “Person held to Service or Labour” was indeed talking about slaves. In any case, that part of Article 4 was declared moot thanks to the 13th amendment.

Well, it’s like when the Pope changes a doctrine an earlier Pope wrote, y’know? It doesn’t mean they’re not both infallible, it means . . . oh, mysterious ways, I guess.

Is this from the same interview in which she opined that 'Murica is not ready for a female president? Even though she ran in 2012?

Quoting a phrase read elsewhere: “Irony takes a worse beating from Republicans than Wile E. Coyote does from Acme.”

I wonder if the fact that the Constitution has amendments means that God isn’t omnipotent after all.

What I want to know is whether the “horse” ridden by gun toting Jesus will be a Velociraptor. :stuck_out_tongue:

You may remember him from some years past, when he appeared in full uniform to lecture a fundamentalist group on his Christian approach to Islamic terrorism, how he told them flat out that their Allah was bullshit and his God was the real deal, and that’s how he knew he would win.

He was United States Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. I swear, I’m not making that up. Intelligence.

Regarding slavery, it is just about time he should also had amended one of the ten commandments at least.

Well, then, there. To want your neighbor’s servant liberated is the same thing as stealing or coveting him, is it not?
