6. you gotta love Conservatives. They argue all day that
the government is innefective and weak, and can't do anything right.

Then, when in power, they make sure to weaken the government and fuck up everything, to prove they were right.

12. I'm sending this to a friend. that's EXACTLY his point of view. exactly
he couldn't be happier over what's happening in Iraq.

we argued for hours over this one night.

then I went out and shot machine guns the next day with a bunch of his wingnut gun nut friends. it was a very strange experience.

5. Religious School--a Joke, so if ya can't take one, stop reading!!!
Here's how they handle it in some quarters:

A 7 year-old Jewish boy named Zachary was failing math class. His parents had tried everything: tutors, flash cards, special classes—but nothing seemed to motivate him. When it came to math, he was a straight "F" student.

Finally, as a last resort, they enrolled him in the local Catholic school.

When Zachary arrived home after his first day, his mother noticed that he had a very serious look on his face. In fact, he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even say ‘hello’ to her. Instead, he went straight to his room, opened his math book, and started studying.

His mother couldn’t believe it.

Later she called him down for dinner. He ate quickly, excused himself, and went back to his math problems.

This went on every single day for the rest of the quarter.

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He handed it to his mom, and then went straight to his room to begin his studying for the day.

His mother opened the card and looked at it. She was absolutely amazed—Zachary had gotten an "A" in math!

She immediately ran upstairs to his room. She said, "Son, I’m so proud of you. Your father will be thrilled when he gets home from work. This is wonderful! But I need to know—what motivated you? What made the difference? Was it the nuns?"

He shook his head and said, "No."

"Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms?"

"No."

"So what was it, then?"

Little Zachary looked her and said, "Well, when I sat down in class on the first day of school, and saw that guy on the wall nailed to the plus sign, I knew they meant business!!!"

8. Notice that George Washington was replaced by a crucifix?
That's their vision of America.

10. LOL!
I can't begin to describe how painfully unfunny both of those toons are. It's so lame that it is funny, but for an entirely different reason.

I know it's slightly < 5 times slightly > 13 (or is it?), but it looks pretty good, yes?

17. there was a discussion thread with that title "C=MI," at Salon Table Talk. as I recall.
Edited on Sun Aug-19-07 09:15 PM by Gabi Hayes
it lasted for years, and was several THOUSAND posts long

many thousands of posts on the topic. LOTS of really crazy ones from wingnuts who proved the premise quite able.

those were the days.

18. Actually, in the Jesus school, the kid would be learning that the Earth is 6,000 years old
and that Dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark.

Sure, fundies are getting such a better education in this country-- that's why they freak the fuck out on Bill Nye when he mentions that the moon reflects the sun's light:
