The Atlas Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

Thanks for posting that Link quote, Gramps.

This thread had deluged into absurd tedium.

(Corrected your post, King.)

Yeah:  Many Christians understand Islam is the enemy of individual freedom and that the US is the champion of individual freedom.

I can't believe that people actually think like this.

Really? Where have you been the last decade?

Northern California

Thankfully, "understand" can be used in the sense of "believe to know", rendering the sentence (though not the sentiment) sensible.

[minionofmidas]

Out, both of you.

It's amazing, isn't? Not only does he believe that the War On Christmas is real, he also thinks that it is the result of a Jewish Conspiracy.

Oh dear. He should really keep himself to the Redistricting board.

Hackish and spinnish as he is, he has valuable contributions there occasionally.

I don't see any issue with the first paragraph of that...

"I would think Jewish Economists would recognize the importance of Christmas." has some issues.

You think they wouldn't?

The sentence would belong into any rebuttal of the bizarro theory the thread this is from (which I shall not venture into) appears to be about.

Also:

As a general health issue, anal intercourse is dangerous and has higher rates of HIV and STD transmission.

happens to be plain fact, too.

Pointy nose kittehs are for teh gheys.

[minionofmidas]

This might sound weird (as anything from me does, really)

Now coming from most other posters, this would belong in the Awkward Truth Mine. But not in this case

[minionofmidas]

But the sentences right behind the highlighted bollocks are true!

As a product of Christianity-as-done-by-Vermonters

You were conceived during a Christian ceremony in Vermont? Are you sure it wasn't actually a Wiccan ceremony?

There should be a separate graph with a "has some values versus moral degenerate" axis. Gingrich obviously falls into the latter whereas Romney and Paul occupy the former. I am pretty sure Romney has been married to his wife since Callista Gingrich was in Kindergarten, and Paul has been married to his wife longer than Callista has been alive.

I somehow misread this, not on purpose, such that "Callista Gingrich" is a reference to Romney's wife... it becomes comedy goldmine material that way. If not Oh Snap material (as an attack on Romney.)

Lock it again, Mick.

[minionofmidas]

It's a good thing you're posting directly into the deluge, Mick!

[minionofmidas]

There's something missing from Lief's statement though... I dunno... how about "postwar"? I mean, how is Mitt Romney to the right of James Breckinridge?

[minionofmidas]

I think he meant "Prince" and "George". If so, I concur.

What does class have to do with stupidity or ignorance?

I'm not even sure if it belongs here because of the failure to understand that "stupidity" and "ignorance", in context, are weasel words for class; or just because it belongs here even when read literally. Either works.

What's more, Oklahoma is a hardcore Republican state.

...in 1948.

Oh yeah. I didn't know about the whole Democrat/Republican switch back then.

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt and think you'd just forgotten in a momentary brainfart...

BRTD name-drops postmodernism for the first time?

That means it's gone mainstream and is not hip anymore and Tweed will never post anything postmodern again.

Right?
Not right? Oh.
