Step right up folks and see the two-headed talking bible snake, for a mere 25 cents.
And for this hour only, and for just an additional 10 measly cents, you'll get to see the effects of a good ole christian brainwashing of an innocent southern girl.
That's it folks, don't bunch up now.
There is plenty of room for everybody to see this phenomena.
**Please note that all proceeds from our cotton candy sale, will be used to buy this teen girl a real education and remove her from this very sad environment, that she was raised in**
--------
Seriously though, what a sad state of affairs, that this young girl has her brain held captive by such deluded and very ignorant elders in her life.
May she one day soon, discover the real world !!!
ATF (Who wants to know if we have in our vast southern audience, any xtian-deprogrammers that can rescue this poor girl?)
Sometimes I wish the South would have won the war so that they could wallow in their ignorance and bigotry without bringing the rest of us down. Then again, that wouldn't have done the slaves much good, would it?
But I guess when your brother is also your daddy your perspective gets a little fucked up.

Thank you God and Jesus for all the insightful wisdom you have bestowed upon this nation.
Yeah we need a christian like Huckabee to help lead this nation further into it's moral oblivion.
If only Tennessee were the only place we had to worry about these retards. Alas, every state in the union have some of the same poor deluded cretins.
That's why it's important to do what we can to support science, logic, and reason. That is our only hope. Jim Earl
I have lived almost my entire adult life in the South. To be sure, there are many people like these folk in the south and certain stereotypes are warranted. But you ought to try the folk in Western PA, Western MA, rural NH and Maine, most of the rural midwest and west. Same people. Same mindset. Same ignorance. Same "God and country" mentality.
Just sayin.
I put my fist through the screen.
These people live in Lynchburg,
Tennessee? They've either had too
much Jack Daniels, or more likely,
not enough!
What a hypocrite that woman preacher was. She said she wouldn't vote for Hilary Clinton
because she stayed with her husband
after what he'd done. Yet, if she
were a Christian and left him, this
bozo and her ilk would be dumping on Hilary for breaking up her marriage. (Sinner!)
And just what moron started that
story about Obama being sworn in on
the Koran? I don't care if he's
sworn in on a copy of the Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I'll
vote for him if he can undo the damage to this country done by Bush and his fellow Bible-beaters.
churches up that way. When I went
home for Xmas, you should have seen
the look on my parents' faces when
I told them Jesus probably wasn't
born on December 25th!
Re: Obama being sworn in on the Koran - it was Rep. Keith Ellison (D, MN) who took the oath of office on a Koran a year ago in January. Ellison is also an African-American, so the rocket scientists got them confused. I guess Barack's African-sounding name didn't help matters.
But this is a good case in point. Rep. Virgil Goode objected to Ellison taking the oath on a Koran, calling it a threat to American values and warning about the "dangers" of Muslims immigrating to the United States and taking elective office (Interestingly, the Koran Ellison used belonged to Thomas Jefferson; it was lent to him by the Library of Congress).
Rep. Goode's home state? Virginia. Yes, we have our ignoramuses here in New England, but we tend not to elect them to congress, and, in any case, none of them could be bothered to complain about something like this.
It's always the South, man. Always.
It's always the South, man. Always.
What can I say? You are right, of course.
I live a little below Columbia, SC and the cretins here are dumb as cow patties but a little thicker.
Cretins, can't live with'em, can't shoot'em!

much Jack Daniels, or more likely,

Go with (b). Lynchburg is in a dry county.
cipher said,
Yes, we have our ignoramuses here in New England, but we tend not to elect them to congress,
Fair enough, but you're not getting off that easy.
BTW, I lived near Fitchburg not that long ago. We've got more crackers per capita down here, but, DAMN!, did I meet some dumb-ass rednecks there. And that townies term is weird too. Here in the south, it's used to describe the artsy-folk you find in cities and college towns.
But your right, we pretty much have the "stupid" market cornered in the South.
(I must add, however, people need to read bout what happened to the South during the "Reconstruction" in order to understand why it played out that way. And don't forget about the role of the Carpetbaggers either.)

Well, I'm not disagreeing with you, exactly - but I don't think it's quite the same thing. Mitt's an asshole, not an idiot. Although, he is a Mormon. Hmmm... Tough call.
We do the stupidest damn thing up here. We elect liberal Democratic congresspeople, and conservative Republican governors. And we've done it repeatedly. I have no idea why.

Yeah, I know. Everyone thinks the Northeast is a haven for godless liberal intellectuals. Only in and around the cities. Much of the rest is hickville.
And that townies term is weird too. Here in the south, it's used to describe the artsy-folk you find in cities and college towns.
That I didn't know. That's interesting, actually. I can see how the usage would develop. And we don't use the term solely to refer to people in rural areas, btw. It's also used to describe someone who lives in a town all of his or her life, and has a sort of small-town outlook. There are towns within a ten or twenty mile radius of Boston, the inhabitants of which are referred to as "townies".
"Cretins, can't live with'em, can't shoot'em!" How true!

I'm so sorry to hear that. How old are your children? Is he insisting that they be indoctrinated?
Thank you. Yes he did want them indoctrinated. I went along with it for a few months (trying to keep the peace). That lasted until one easter at church when all the kids were asked to raise their hands if they had an easter basket. Those who did (mine included) were told that easter baskets were "of the devil". That was the last time I went to any church/meeting with him. Kids were very young then...maybe kindergarten and first grade. I was trapped because he had all the money and power and said he'd take the kids from me. I couldn't have them raised solely by him. So I stuck it out. They are grown now, married and on their own. Son and his wife (who had been raised as jehovah witness) have nothing to do with anything "religious"... and believe as I do, that people who fall for it are somewhat mentally off. Unfortunately my daughter and her husband (who was raised fundie) got suckered into it just a couple of years ago. What a waste......
In the meantime, I make do. My marriage sure isn't what it was, or what I'd like it to be, but hey I get laid on a somewhat regular basis. LOL
By the way, those false rumors are alive and well in the midwest too.
I feel the need to clarify one thing about my spouse. She is not a fundie type. However, she is still a cretin in my book. She attends a baptist church on a semi-regular basis and sometimes other functions of the church.
I haven't attended church since 9-11 except for a couple funerals. Those were bad enough.
My wife and I raised two sons and both are non-believers, even though they were raised mostly in the church. I believe the reason they don't believe today was that they had my influence to dispell the bs they got at church.
My spouse and I love each other and because of that love we also tolerate one another. I am hopeful that one day she will shed her cretin skin and be able to think for herself. Jim Earl
Jim Earl-- My husband and I have had the "agree-to-disagree" arrangement for about ten years. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. He's not supposed to "preach" to me, but you know how it is when jeebus tells somebody to do something! I just wish he'd think for himself again.
Belive me, these cave dwellers are not limited to Tennessee. Go to most any small town in Alabama and you will find the same stupidity. Last fall, I was at a Barnes and Noble in Huntsville where I purchased Christopher Hitchen's "God Is Not Great". As I was leaving the checkout, the cashier warned me that it might not be a good idea to let anyone outside of the city see the cover.
The warning was not needed, I know what superstitious, mean-spirited jerks these fundies can be. The video just reminded me just how prevalent religion-base ignorace is in the South.
really is hard to imagine that
the USA has such ignorance and stupidity running rampant in the country. No wonder that little girl is so screwed up in her thinking when she has close encounters with those three harpies.
The worst of it is
that those four women on that video are only the tip of a huge iceberg of backward thinking and ignorance in the south part of the US.
It's going to take a while guys.
