Fox: “news” for retards.
What idiots! I wish the President could create jobs by executive order. We could use some works projects similar to those created under FDR. Oh and I’m sure Fox Nation followed with an article touting all the job creating that John of Orange and his inept House of Representatives have done… oh but wait….
Like I said – idiots!
I remember an appearance by John Cleese on the (MSNBC version) of Keith Olbermann’s “Countdown”. Here is how he summarized one of Fux News’ flagship figures:
Ode to Sean Hannity
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
— John Cleese
Gotta love those Monty Python fellas!
White Man’s Burden
While looking over Bachmann’s State Senate campaign Web site, I stumbled upon a list of book recommendations. The third book on the list, which appeared just before the Declaration of Independence and George Washington’s Farewell Address, is a 1997 biography of Robert E. Lee by J. Steven Wilkins.
Wilkins is the leading proponent of the theory that the South was an orthodox Christian nation unjustly attacked by the godless North. This revisionist take on the Civil War, known as the “theological war” thesis, had little resonance outside a small group of Southern historians until the mid-twentieth century, when Rushdoony and others began to popularize it in evangelical circles. In the book, Wilkins condemns “the radical abolitionists of New England” and writes that “most southerners strove to treat their slaves with respect and provide them with a sufficiency of goods for a comfortable, though—by modern standards—spare existence.”
African slaves brought to America, he argues, were essentially lucky: “Africa, like any other pagan country, was permeated by the cruelty and barbarism typical of unbelieving cultures.” Echoing Eidsmoe, Wilkins also approvingly cites Lee’s insistence that abolition could not come until “the sanctifying effects of Christianity” had time “to work in the black race and fit its people for freedom.”

Nice observation BP and keep those mash-ups coming!
At least our president is a good Christian

New slogan: “Fox News Audience – On Target”
I’m reading an 60 year old book about the origins of jazz, and the author spends a lot of time on the slaves and their African origins…they were not pagans, they had organized societies, and very advanced music. Bachmann’s book sounds like it was used for that idiotic pledge she signed that said black kids were better off when their parents were slaves. Do any of these people have a brain that works, or are they all zombies come to take over the US?
Long but worth it:

Informative read!
I’ve been thinking for a while that all this is about the South wanting another shot at the Civil War, because they are sure that this time they will win. What they will win is not a concern. Winning (and keeping the US white and the wealthy wealthier) is the goal.
