EFFin’ Unsound

Gary Randall’s latest post is worthy of a more complete takedown, but I’m behind on just about everything this week, so I’ll only single out this one jaw-dropping excerpt. In the post, he writes this in support of preventing the Park51 mosque from being built:

Secular progressives, in their rush to appear “tolerant,” “fair,” “sensitive,” and even “Christian” fail to acknowledge that the conflict between Islam’s stated goals and those of western culture constitutes a clash of civilizations.

Jihad seeks to replace democratic values with theocratic rule.

The real question must be, “Is freedom of religion in America absolute?”

Can the rights of one religion in America be limited when they infringe on the rights of others?

This would be the same Gary Randall who wrote this merely two weeks ago about why gay marriage should be outlawed:

I have spent my entire life introducing people, privately, from the pulpit, and on radio and television to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A relationship that truly changes the heart.

That is the Great Commission of Christianity.

But I am well aware that morality can and must be legislated, until all hearts are changed.

I often spend too much time trying to figure out how a human brain can tolerate such extreme cognitive dissonance. There is no adequate answer to that question. Gary Randall is some combination of moron, asshole, and psychopath, and it doesn’t really matter how much of each.

The Christians who founded America loved freedom so much that it was difficult for them to share it with everyone.

I’d imagine most of our readership also reads HA, but if not, check out Goldy’s post on the utterly insane individual who managed to finish second in the top-two primary for a 25th LD House seat.

If you haven’t been following the latest conversation between the General and Prince Shannon of the ‘Right Wing Extreme Militia’, you should check it out.

Here’s the video the General put together after their first phone conversation:

Lou Guzzo actually wrote a post this week with the title “Governments Have No Right to Make Moral Decisions for People”. That would be the same Lou Guzzo who has advocated for the abolition of gambling, alcohol, boxing, pornography, billboards, rock concerts, and the entire state of Nevada.

I don’t normally make fun of the Clown Car over at HA, but this post wrapped up some other thoughts I had as well.

Gary Randall is freaking out because Elisabeth Hasselbeck now supports gay marriage:

I have spent my entire life introducing people, privately, from the pulpit, and on radio and television to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A relationship that truly changes the heart.

That is the Great Commission of Christianity.

But I am well aware that morality can and must be legislated, until all hearts are changed.

An astute commenter points out the obvious:

So, in other words until you are able to convert the everyone to your particular brand of Christianity, you are not only willing, but eager to use the full force of government to force everyone to live as if they adhered to your brand of Christianity. And this differs from Sharia law how?

I’d imagine that this has something to do with why young people aren’t buying into Randall’s hateful version of Christianity any more.

The folks at the Chicken Wing are still not dealing well with Clint Didier’s defeat:

Most Republicans pride themselves on abiding by the law. They don’t speed, don’t do illegal drugs, don’t rob banks, don’t murder people and think it is reprehensible when people do. They believe that people who break the law should be punished — fined or jailed. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

So what about when one steals an election? Not through blatant fraud but through a more ingrained, insidious, deeper form of theft. Where the victim of the theft actually becomes an unwitting accomplice to the crime. What crime is that? It is called “Voting for the lesser of two evils.”

Part of me respects the Didiots for refusing to simply roll over and support Rossi. They describe Rossi in many of the same ways that I have - he’s an opportunistic huckster whose only loyalty is to powerful interests. But where my respect starts to wane is over the fact that on the issues that illustrate that stereotype about Rossi, Didier is in complete agreement with him (in fact, Didier even boasted about his opposition to the DISCLOSE Act). And where my respect gets drained completely is over social issues, where the Didiots have invented this conglomeration of intensely extremist positions that they think are somehow ingrained in the Constitution, but in reality are just a set of talking points that provide a thin veil over intensely bigoted and reactionary beliefs. If you read through that entire screed by Michele St. Pierre, you understand that she views the Constitution not as the basis of how our government should work, but as a religious framework. To her, our entire political system is a morality play, where the forces of good and evil are duking it out, rather than what it really is - a battle over competing economic interests in a system that tilts on an axis between corporate power and the power of the masses.

And since both corporate power and the power of the masses can each go to dangerous extremes, we’ll always and forever be voting for the lesser of two evils. There are no messiahs in this game, only hucksters and those crazy enough to think they might be messiahs.

For the entire duration of this blog, the undisputed champ of anti-Muslim blogosphere crazy has been Tracy Oetting, who gave us this legendary gem. But with Oetting’s lack of recent posting, there’s a new sheriff in town, and she goes by the name DCAT:

Islam you best be praying!

Brace yourself Islam! DCAT is about to go “angry black woman confronting her ex-boyfriend in front of a live audience” on your ass!

Because more people are on to your crap then you think!

Building community centers and other completely ordinary things!

Go ahead have those babies here!

Procreating! So devious.

You teach them hate and you will lose them here in the USA to protective child agencies!

Agencies run by protective children?

You will not win in the name of GOD!

I’m not sure they’re aware that they’re playing.

You work for satan there for you will enter the flames of hell for all eternity!

This never makes sense to me. If they work for Satan, and Satan runs hell, then won’t they be rewarded by Satan once they get there? Won’t they be the ones who get air conditioning and all the good seats to see the great musicians who end up in hell too?

Listen up America!

I’m all ears.

These muslim people are not here to practice religious freedom in a country that allows freedom of religion.

They’re here to sucker us into taking on mortgages we can’t afford.

They are not here to share the American dream of freedom and justice for all.

They’re here to dismantle the government entitlements that have sustained the middle class.

They are not here to share the good will and loving kindness of Mohammad and of islam.

So are there any Muslims who actually practice Islam?

They are here to infiltrate and destroy our nation.

First they came for Jimmy Dean and I said nothing.

They are here on a military and fanatical Satanic religious mission to conquer and destroy our country.

They’re already close to their takeover of the lower Manhattan Burlington Coat Factory. If they get their hands on that many sharp hangers, the streets will fill with blood!

They are here on a mission of Jihad.

They’re even building a swimming pool to teach their terror babies how to swim!

Their goal is the destruction of the United States of America as a nation, as a philosophy and as a people.

No, that’s your goal.

America had better wake up.

But don’t drink that evil Muslim-invented coffee stuff. We can’t allow them to change us!

America had better get over the politically correct tolerance of these murderous barbaric parasites.

Jesus, this is stuff that would make some neo-Nazis blush.

America had better consider seriously the consequences of not purging and eradicating this insidious cancer from within our borders.

Jesus, this is stuff that would make Hitler himself blush.

It’s time to draw the line and finish this war or your children and grand children will be answering to the will of Sharia law and not to the laws of the United States.

Sharia Law is a pretty frightening prospect to me, but committing a second Holocaust seems far worse.

Every single day that passes while we debate the socialist muslim government that is now running our country will be one day closer to our utter and total destruction as a people and a nation.

I can’t take it anymore. For more thoughts on this sad subject, read my post at HA.

Following Clint Didier’s shocking defeat, Doug Parris has entered the first of the five stages of grief - denial:

What we know is entirely too preliminary to draw conclusions about the current process or election. We will attempt to discover what the Secretary of State is claiming and attempt to evaluate if his explanation is plausible, but it begs to repeat conclusions already drawn by clean election groups from one end of the nation to the other:

1. Mail-in elections are unverifiable. They require that we have to trust, but cannot verify, the actions of government officials. Government corruption in control of elections is permanent corruption. If we could consistently trust government officials we wouln’t need to HAVE elections.

2. Computer tabulation is unverifiable. It reduces to a very small number the total people necessary to falsify elections.

I’m not sure if Parris ever makes it past this stage.
