OK, I Don't Get This

A ROUGH DECADE FOR AMERICAN CONGREGATIONS

"By Eric Marrapodi, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor

(CNN) – A new decade-long survey of American congregations shows religious health and vitality are weaker than they were 10 years ago. While the survey showed that many congregations are adopting new technologies and innovative worship, there were steep drops in financial health and attendance at weekly worship services.
...
Overall, median weekend worship attendance of your typical congregation dropped from 130 to 108 during the decade, according to the FACT surveys."

So church attendance is down. Fewer and fewer Americans are identifying as being "religious". Yet in the Republican Party, religious fanatics like Prick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are the rising stars of the GOP and represent the best the Republicans have to offer in 2012.

This tells me that the evangelical Christian core of the conservative Republican party is SO out of touch with the American mainstream population that they don't have a fucking snowball's chance in HELL of winning over independent swing voters in a General election.

The American people want, need, and deserve a President who relies on FACTS, not FAITH.

Prick Perry tried to pray the Texas drought away and his state caught ignited in flames (literally) and experienced the hottest summer ever recorded.

So that didn't work.

Michele Bachmann and her OVERWHELMINGLY CLOSETED GAY HUSBAND have a "Christian Counselling" service that promise to "pray the gay away".

That will NEVER work!

So this is what I don't understand.

If Christianity and church attendance is on the decline, where is this rising Republican religious fundamentalism finding it's base?

How can Republicans possibly think they can win a General election when their Core Base is a diminishing number of delusional people who believe in medieval mythological fantasies?

I don't get this. What the fuck are they thinking?

God Hates Prick Perry

Facing Record Droughts, Gov. Rick Perry Proclaims Official Day of Prayer for Rain

So Texas Governor Prick Perry prayed for rain.

"Gov. Perry won't acknowledge the vast body of scientific evidence that supports the fact that the climate is warming, and man is primarily to blame. His official position is that he doesn't think climate change is a problem. And he actively works to prevent climate action in his state, and has orchestrated Texas' lawsuit against the EPA for trying to enforce the Clean Air Act. His main aim is to prevent the agency from regulating greenhouse gases.

And then, when Texas has its worst droughts in 100 years, his official policy response is to pray for rain."

The result? Texas had the hottest summer ever recorded in the United States.

"Firefighters southeast of Austin, Texas, battled strong winds Monday as they struggled to gain ground against a fast-moving wildfire that has so far scorched some 25,000 acres and destroyed close to 500 homes.

Another fire in eastern Texas killed a mother and her 18-month-old child when flames engulfed their mobile home Sunday near Gladewater, the Gregg County Sheriff's Department said.

"We got a long way to go to get this thing contained," Gov. Rick Perry said about the fire raging near Austin. "I have seen a number of big fires in my life. This one is as mean looking as I've ever seen."

So this is the guy Republicans want to be President?

He has a better plan to get Americans working again than O'Bama?

Is he going to pray jobs into existence?

Because based on the evidence from Texas, I see 2 possible theories.

1: Prayer doesn't work.

2: Prayer DOES work, but God hates Prick Perry as much as everyone else.

In either case, this motherfucker should never, ever, be President of the United States.

Obama Gets Four More Years, Easy!

Here is why I'm not at all worried about President Obama winning a 2nd term.

According to the most recent NBC/WSJ Poll, these are the "candidates" that the Republicans who responded think are better qualified than Obama to lead America.

Let's take a look at them 1 by 1.

MITT ROMNEY 21%


Not only is "Mitt" a stupid fucking name, it's not even his first name. His first name is "Willard".

But stupid name aside, he's a Mormon. Just like Glenn Beck. when it comes to completely whacked out bizzaro doctrines, Mormonism is is just barely one small step above Scientology. Do the majority of Americans really want a President who believes in crazy shit like this?

He's the best they have to offer and he can't even get the support of 25% his own party? How the fuck is he going to get 51% of the entire country? He can't and he won't.

NEXT!

DONALD TRUMP 17%


He may be 2nd in the overall GOP rankings, but he actually polls as the #1 choice of the Teabaggers. Mostly because of his recent sucking up to the batshit crazy and racist birthers.

Plus, in this economy, I don't think that the majority of American voters can punch a ballot for a filthy rich, greedy, self-promoting ego-whore who is most famous for telling people "YOU'RE FIRED!".

NEXT!

MIKE HUCKABEE 17%


He's an evangelical, Southern Baptist minister who worked as a staffer for televangelist James Robison.

"Huckabee has stated, "Politics are totally directed by worldview. That's why when people say, 'We ought to separate politics from religion,' I say to separate the two is absolutely impossible'."

The majority of Americans don't want this country to become a Theocracy with some twisted, fundamentalist Christian, Leviticus-based version of Sharia Law being imposed by the President.

NEXT!

GINGRICH 11%


We may be just over 24 hours away from a complete shut down of the government because Democrats and Republicans can't agree on a budget.

If that happens, the news stories will constantly remind people of the last person responsible for a government shut down. Newt Gingrich.

Not to mention the fact that he was a Vietnam Draft Dodger, served his 1st wife with divorce papers while she was dying of cancer in the hospital, and blamed his infidelity with a campaign staffer on his patriotism.

Oh yeah. That's a Role Model.

NEXT!

SARAH PALIN 10%

The Incoherent, Imbecilic, Rambling, Quitter!







The rest of these ignorant fucktards don't even warrant further comment.

PAWLENTY 6%

BACHMAN 5%

SANTORUM 3%

BARBOUR 1%

The entire Republican party is fragmented, in disarray, and is actively pandering to the most ignorant, fundamentalist, delusional, bigoted, lowest common denominator of America's NASCAR-loving, trailer-trash masses.

It is inconceivable that any of these fools could ever be put in charge of such a great country.
