"

I don’t care what the liberals say, I don’t care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation. …There’s only one God, and his name is Jesus. I’m tired of people telling me that I can’t say those words. I’m tired of people telling us as Christians that we can’t voice our beliefs or we can no longer pray in public. Listen to me. If you don’t love America, if you don’t like the way we do things I have one thing to say — get out!

…We don’t worship Buddha! I said we don’t worship Buddha, we don’t worship Muhammad, we don’t worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God’s son Jesus Christ.

The Reverend DENNIS TERRY, in remarks delivered at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum at the Greenwell Springs Baptist Church in Louisiana yesterday.

Rick Santorum stood up and applauded these remarks, along with those from the Reverend denouncing homosexuality and abortion.

Because if you aren’t like Rick Santorum, then he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

mehreenkasana: US soldier jailed for seven years over murders of Afghan civilians A US soldier has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in the murders of Afghan civilians last year. Pvt 1st Class Andrew Holmes, 21, was among five soldiers charged over the “thrill killings” of the three civilians during patrols in Kandahar. The murders have been described as among the most serious war crimes charges to emerge from the Afghanistan war. Holmes, from Boise, Idaho, confessed in court to firing a heavy machine gun at a boy from 15 feet away, after his co-defendant threw a grenade at him. He was accused of directly participating in the first killing and initially charged with premeditated murder among other charges. But in a deal with prosecutors, Holmes pleaded guilty to murder by an inherently dangerous act, as well as possessing a finger bone from his victim and smoking hashish. Judge Lt Col Kwasi Hawks sentenced him on Friday to seven years in jail, saying there was no excuse for the murder. “You aimed a fully loaded squad automatic weapon at [a] child that stood 15 feet away,” he said. (continued) He gets seven years for shooting a young boy and killing other innocent Afghan civilians while posing with their dead bodies in pictures. He gets seven years for murder. Seven years, that is all. This is extremely inhumane, unfair and disrespectful to the people who lost their lives in some maniac’s blind blood sport.

motherjones: “We’re Gay. Get Over It.” One week from today, the military will officially be done with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Judging from the upcoming Marine Corps Times cover story, it looks like the military’s ready.

"The suggestion that Shariah threatens American security is disturbingly reminiscent of the accusation, in 19th-century Europe, that Jewish religious law was seditious. In 1807, Napoleon convened an assembly of rabbinic authorities to address the question of whether Jewish law prevented Jews from being loyal citizens of the republic. (They said that it did not.) Fear that Jewish law bred disloyalty was not limited to political elites; leading European philosophers also entertained the idea. Kant argued that the particularistic nature of “Jewish legislation” made Jews “hostile to all other peoples.” And Hegel contended that Jewish dietary rules and other Mosaic laws barred Jews from identifying with their fellow Prussians and called into question their ability to be civil servants."

laughinghieroglyphic: Rick Santorum or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Photoshop For those of you who aren’t aware, Rick Santorum is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in 2012. He is known largely for his strong stances against gay marriage and abortion. However, there is one thing about Rick Santorum that has turned him in to a running joke: His last name. Santorum, according to SpreadSantorum.com, is defined as “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.” Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart, among others, have helped bring this fact to knowledge. It is used as a joke to mock Santorum’s campaign and views. Tonight, Rick Santorum spoke to the Penn State Young Republicans for about an hour and a half. As a freshman at Penn State, and as a politically inclined individual, I felt going would be, at the very least, an experience. I personally am very social liberal, and find Santorum’s views not just ignorant, but detrimental to creating an atmosphere of openness in our society. I knew he would be taking questions at one point, but I stayed quiet, with others taking the lead against Senator Santorum on issues like gay marriage. As Senator Santorum left his speech, in the true manner of a politician, he shook the hands of everyone near the exit and signed some autographs. Little did he know, I had two signs. One of these signs said “Santorum 2012” in an impact font, as seen above. The other, thanks to the magic of image manipulating software, said “Assfroth 2012.” I hid the more graphic of the two underneath and waited. Senator Santorum gladly autographed my sign and shook my hand. He autographed the one on the bottom. I immediately went and joined in a protest of Santorum’s candidacy with the LGBTA club (I am straight, but obviously a big supporter for equal marriage rights for gays). Now, I am in possession of a sign autographed by Rick Santorum, with the words “Assfroth 2012” on them. God Bless America. TL;DR Anti-gay marriage Presidential candidate autographed my sign acknowledging that his last name is slang for frothy the combination of shit and semen in an asshole after anal sex. Fight ignorance any way you can, and don’t support ignorance in politics. EDIT: ALL CREDIT FOR THE “SANTORUM” JOKE GO TO DAN SAVAGE

Bachmann: Irene is God's message for Washington

Raise your hand if you saw that one coming.

Just once I’d love to hear one of these wingnuts say something like, “Wow, God must really mean it with this global warming stuff!” Or “Maybe God’s telling me to shut the hell up.”

Why is it always, “God’s proving me right!”  I just have this image of the guy in the white robes with white beard and hair face-palming spectacularly, complete with lighting bolts and rainbows, and groaning, “Shut up!  Quit talking!  The lot of you!”

Oh now she’s saying it was just a joke

Pretty hilarious to the people who’ve died and their loved ones, not to mention like all of the state of Vermont which has been pretty much fucking destroyed by flooding

This joint: Massive Attack on the London riots

mehreenkasana:

amodernmanifesto:

“In context with the complicit support of the government, the banks looted the nation’s wealth while destroying countless small businesses and brought the whole economy to its knees in a covert, clean manner, rather like organised crime. Our reaction was to march and wave banners and then bail them out. These kids would have to riot and steal every night for a year to run up a bill equivalent to the value of the non-paid tax big business has ‘avoided’ out of the economy this year alone. They may not articulate their grievances like the politicians that condemn them, but this is absolutely political. As for the ‘mindless violence’, is there anything more mindless than the British taxpayer quietly paying back the debts of others while contributing bullets to conflicts that we have absolutely no understanding of? It’s mad, sad and scary when we have to take to the streets to defend our homes and businesses from angry, thieving kids, but where are the police and what justice is ever done when the mob is dressed in pin-stripe?” - Massive Attack

One of my favorite musicians with an opinion on the riots.
