I thought I’d share this Facebook post from American Atheist President David Silverman, as it might start a nice conversation:
“This is why we are the good guys and they are the bad guys. There is no bill in any state trying to force atheism on anyone. All our moves are defensive, all the time.
Take the religion back out of science class. Give women back full rights over their own bodies. Get that religious icon back off public property. Take the religion back off the money, and back out of the Pledge. Everything, every lawsuit, every complaint, every fight we fight as a movement is all defensive, all pro-equality. We demand religion stay out of our lives, and we are hated for it by those who know we are right, but don’t want to (or can’t) admit it. We want only that which we would want done to us – equality.
The other side can’t say anything close to that. They are doing unto others as they would not want to have done to them – 2nd class citizenship or conversion. They complain about us, but we live by their ‘golden rule’ for real, while they pretend that what they do would not make Jesus puke.”
I would have used “Jesus wept” in there instead, but the point is clear: No matter how much Fox News complains about the “War Against Christians” every single lawsuit and protest has been a defensive one, and I challenge anyone to give an example where that was not the case.
Me and David (Tall, isn’t he?)
That’s what one the jurors said (the only non-white juror, too — an amazing coincidence, no?)
“I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end,” she said. “That’s where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it. But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can’t say he’s guilty.”
She apparently felt that after it was all said and done, she was constrained by the limitations of the “Stand Your Ground” law (which, I understand, was originally called the “You’re Allowed To Kill Anyone You Subjectively Feel Threatened By Even If You’re In No Real Danger Law”).
Rush Limbaugh gave his listeners a history lesson the other day. He said that “caucasians aren’t responsible for slavery” because, after all, caucasians fought a civil war in order to end slavery!
Apparently, these caucasians were fighting against robots or something, because otherwise it would …
Ah, the heck with it. Trying to point out how stupid Rush Limbaugh is? Just too easy. Instead, listen to Moxy Fruvous’ hilarious song about him. Lyrics below; song begins around 2:45 (this was the only version I could find on the net).
THE GREATEST MAN IN AMERICA

Coming from Canada, we love those leaders who personify the US way to be
There was JFK, and LBJ, and WKRP
But of these there is not one to rival
The greatest genius of them all
He’s a megalo, with a healthy glow
He’s the man called Rush Limbaugh
He’s a dose of PT Barnum
With a Mussolini twist (El duce!)
There in the limosine, parked on the lawn
He’s a goofy Ghengis Kahn
Not since Jesus Christ has the world seen someone with such widely syndicated views
Hundreds of years from now they’ll celebrate Rushmas
And Rush Hoshana for the Jews
Cause he’ll pull the plug on Feminazis
Paranoid minorities and gays
He’s a burning bush with a network push
Sure to start a countrywide blaze
He taught me to love and praise Charlton Heston
Oliver North is quite a nice man too
Forget Al and Tipper
Let’s bring back the Gipper
And Joe McCarthy too
I was a troubled soul
Consumed by voices advocating special interest groups and vice.
‘Til Rush rushed to my sweet rescue
Now I’ll never ever have to think twice
So we’ll sign a check for Limbaughism
Restore the moral fundamental core
We’ll cut the debt
And start a tet offensive on the poor
It’s a blitzkreig in the making (EVERYBODY!)
It’s distinctly upper class (Well, not everybody)
Yes sir, I’ll get the door
Roll the carpet on the floor
For a man

For a man with his head up his …

Anthony Weiner is the politician who was apparently created solely for the amusement of late-night comedians.
“They know it is a Democrat’s penis because it won’t stand up. And also because it was sent to a woman.” – Bill Maher
“Congressman Weiner’s Twitter account was hacked ‘allegedly,’ and someone texted a picture of his ‘junior senator’ to a college girl. Now this is good news for me because I can Google ‘wiener photos’ at work and not get fired.” – Craig Ferguson
“The only thing they have in common is that they both lean to the extreme left!” – Jon Stewart
“Apparently, Anthony Weiner won’t decide if he’s resigning until his wife comes back from her trip to Africa with Hillary Clinton. I don’t know what’s more ridiculous — that he thinks he can stay in office, or that he thinks his wife is coming back.” – Jimmy Fallon
“51 percent of New York voters think Congressman Weiner should keep his seat in office. The other 49 percent think that he should disinfect it.” – Conan O’Brien
“It turns out that one of the women Congressman Anthony Weiner was communicating with was a porn star. When asked how it was possible to get involved with someone in such a sleazy business, the porn star said, ‘I don’t know.'” – Conan O’Brien
“You know what’s funny? President Clinton had sex and lied about it, and he kept his job. Anthony Weiner didn’t have sex and lied about it, and lost his. I guess the lesson here is, if you’re gonna lie, have sex.” – Jimmy Kimmel
“What is Weiner guilty of? He’s guilty of being too photogenic. But is taking pictures of your junk and e-mailing them something you’d expect from a Congressman? No. This is something you’d expect from a priest.” – David Letterman
“Anthony Weiner asked Bill Clinton for advice, and actually followed it for awhile. Of course eventually he was forced to tell the truth.” – Jay Leno
“What?! The congressman had a sex scandal and had to apologize to Bill Clinton? For what?! Copyright infringement?” – Jon Stewart
“Congressman Weiner is in a lot of trouble since he tweeted those pictures. But good news for him, he just found out he’ll be allowed to keep his porn name … Anthony Weiner.” – Conan O’Brien
“Former Congressman Anthony Weiner is back on Twitter. It’s like giving Lindsay Lohan the keys to the mini bar.” – David Letterman
“After withdrawing from public life Anthony Weiner is ready to stick it back in. Folks, that takes balls. Sadly, we know he has them.” – Stephen Colbert
“Former Congressman Anthony Weiner said that he’s considering running for mayor of New York City. If nothing else I’m sure that he’ll provide some stiff competition. Come on, he’s the total package. I don’t want to be too hard on him. I don’t have a bone to pick with that guy.” – Jimmy Fallon
“Weiner said about New York, ‘Nobody will work harder to make it better.’ As opposed to his first campaign promise, which was ‘Nobody will work better to make it harder.'” –Jay Leno
And now it’s come to light that he just couldn’t help himself, and he continued to send his sexy tweets under the name “Carlos Danger.”
“Let he who has not referred to himself as Carlos Danger cast the first stone.” – Christian Finnegan
On one hand, this kind of isn’t relevant to his job. I mean, who cares? It’s not like he’s broken any laws (like, say, a certain Republican Senator who visited prostitutes). On the other hand, it certainly shows something about his character in the same way Clinton’s dallying with an intern.
So is it right that we the public should know about this?
Sure it is.
Especially when it delights the late night comics so much.
There’s another woman living off of hard-earned taxpayer money having a baby that she doesn’t have to pay for.
