Big Dog about to hermetically seal himself in right-wing echo chamber; finally cut and ran, like all of the other wingnuts

The one right-winger, Big Dog, who actually had the balls to mix it up with people who were not wingnuts got his ass handed to him yesterday at Sadly, No! (his posts appear around the 4pm mark and continue until about 5:15pm) and in a pique of juvenile frustration, he stormed off, left a couple of psychotic comments here on my blog and banned me from his blog.

He finally succumbed to his authoritarian impulses. They always do, some just take longer than others. Mild Bill, Texas Fred & Basti, all exterminationist dorks, succumb to their authoritarian cowardice almost immediately. Big Dog, on the other hand, took much longer. Right wing blogs demand obedience to power - including their own 'power' to police their blogs. They exercise this power with puerile, Dogbert-like enthusiasm. That's why so many of them ban commenters or simply close off comments entirely,

Their self esteem is too fragile to deal with the harsh realities of the real world, where people call them on their shit and expect verifiable facts and adherence to reality. It's the same reason Bush only speaks to hand-picked audiences, it's why Hannity will not allow interviewers to play back his own quotes when he's being interviewed, it's why Malkin closes registration to become a commenter at her website. These people literally cannot accept information that contradicts their cherished notions about the world and the smarter ones know they'd have their asses handed to them in an open forum.

It's too bad about Big Dog, though. I was impressed he had the courage to venture outside of his virtual gated community. (You sure won't see Kat, the world's most timid Christian, do it.) People were piling onto Big Dog by pointing out his own comments in the same rough-and-tumble manner that Big Dog has no problem with on his own blog. What's so bad about that? It's almost like he was embarrassed by his beliefs and has run back home with his tail between his legs.

Kender Proposes Defunding the Military, Inadvertently; Wingnuts Approve

Kender, representing the thoughtless & clueless special-ed wing of the Republican party, has devised a great tax evasion scheme for Americans to employ if Hillary becomes President thereby denying Hillary the chance to turn America 'Socialist" or something. It sounds similar to what Mild Bill proposed a few months ago and would amount to defunding the troops, which of course will be fine as soon as a Democrat takes over, won't it?

Why does Kender hate America so much that he would stop funding the military completely?

I'm sure now that he's been called out on his stupidity, Kender, like Kat when she proposed creating monuments which invited terrorist attacks, will say he was simply being hyperbolic. Big Dog gave it his stamp of approval though, so presuably at least he considered the ramifications of the proposal. Or maybe he didn't?

Do these guys ever consider the consequences of their actions?

Oral Roberts University: More Corrupt Evangelical Shenanigans?

Yet another scandal is threatening to engulf yet another Evangelical stronghold. What a surprise, eh Kat? Among the bizarre allegations:

• A longtime maintenance employee was fired so that an underage male friend of Mrs. Roberts could have his position. (My comment: WTF does this even mean?)


• Mrs. Roberts — who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's "first lady" on the university's Web site — frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to "underage males who had been provided phones at university expense."


• The university jet was used to take one daughter and several friends on a senior trip to Orlando, Fla., and the Bahamas. The $29,411 trip was billed to the ministry as an "evangelistic function of the president."


• Mrs. Roberts spent more than $39,000 at one Chico's clothing store alone in less than a year, and had other accounts in Texas and California. She also repeatedly said, "As long as I wear it once on TV, we can charge it off." The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.


• Mrs. Roberts was given a white Lexus SUV and a red Mercedes convertible by ministry donors.


• University and ministry employees are regularly summoned to the Roberts' home to do the daughters' homework.


• The university and ministry maintain a stable of horses for exclusive use by the Roberts' children.


• The Roberts' home has been remodeled 11 times in the past 14 years.

What would Jesus think about this sort of corrupt Christianity? When will the Sheeple who donate to these frauds finally get a clue?

Kat: Chickenhawk Conservative Christian who thinks like bin Laden (UPDATED)

In the irrational, outer reaches of Right Wing World, there are actually people who hope that America is attacked again, 9/11 style. One such person is a woman named "Kat". Here are some choice quotes from a recent post of hers about the Pennsylvania memorial to 9/11 victims that she (along with many other wingnuts) thinks shows insufficient animosity to radical Islam. They seem to think it's actually a memorial to the terrorists themselves due to it's Crescent shape:

This "Bowl of Embrace" is an abomination, and ought to be replaced (as should the Twin Towers) with something that BEGS the Islamofascist terrorist murderers to try and destroy them. We need to raise up memorials which scream
We will never surrender!
We will never back down!
We will never forget!
We will hunt you to the ends of the earth and destroy every last evidence and memory of your intolerant, barbaric and insane ideology!

I have to admire her shrill stridence. Her last statement about destroying 'every last evidence and memory of your intolerant, barbaric and insane ideology' actually reminds me of the Taliban blowing up the Buddhas of Bamyan in 2001. Conservative Chrisitans, Taliban... what's the difference, really?

I suggested that instead of demanding that provocative memorials be built in other people's communities (a Chickenhawkish statement if I have ever heard one) that she instead create a provocative, anti-Muslim memorial right on her own property. Maybe she could also burn Mohammed in effigy every afternoon on her front lawn. She completely ignored my suggestions, said she was being hyperbolic (I invite you to read her actual post and decide for yourself) and continues to insist that the memorials should be in-your-face. I think she's ignoring my suggestions that she erect provocative anti-Muslim memorials on her own property because she subconsciously realizes her neighbors would think she's insane. But she did then say this:

I will concede that I frequently wonder whether another attack on American soil is the only thing which will remove liberal craniums out of anal orifices. Considering that we're having this discussion only six short years after 9-11, and after almost 10,000 terrorist attacks around the world, I doubt it.

So, there you have it. Like bin Laden, she actually hopes Islamic terrorists will continue trying to attack America because, in her mind, we need to 'remove liberal craniums out of anal orifices.' So she kind-of, sort-of wishes that bin Laden would attack the US again so that we could somehow get rid of liberals, who are apparently the real enemy in her mind. I will remind the reader that Kat is a self-proclaimed 'Christian." What would Jesus think of such filthy language? What would Jesus think of such violent desires? Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll tell us in the comments.

Lastly, she pointed out that there has been 10,000 terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11 so I am also interested in knowing if there have been more 'terrorist' attacks after 9/11 than before. I left a comment at her blog mentioning that if we were 'winning' the war on terror the number of attacks post-9/11 would be going down (by definition) and asking for evidence, but I'm not holding my breath. She'll throw out the 10,000 attacks figure but otherwise she doesn't generally deal with evidence and numbers. She demonstrates Sheeple-like faith and thinks that's a good thing. A true dead-ender, she is.

UPDATE: As expected, Kat couldn't muster her 'Christian' courage to venture into my lion's den but I did try engaging her further at her own blog and predictably, she did the online equivalent of jamming her fingers in her ears and screaming "LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!", as you can see below. It happens a lot with delusional wingnuts. This was her response to my last comment there:

Yes, BJ, I disappeared your comment. I told you I was sick of you. And, no, I didn't read it first. Buh-bye.

Buh-bye, Kat! It was as easy dismantling you as I thought it would be. Next time I want to indulge my desire for Republican-driven, pagan-tinged mysticism parading around as 'Christianity', I'll drop by your blog to read your ill-conceived, poorly reasoned, Christian holy war-mongering, superstitious mumbo-jumbo.

Score so far:

Me: 6
Wingnuts: .5 (Big Dog at least keeps trying without cut-and-running like Mild Bill, Kat, Texas Fred, Kender, Basti, et al)

Texas Fred: Tinfoil hat wearing, Cut-and-running dumbass

Texas Fred is wondering why the 'liberal' mainstream media and insurgents always have film of insurgents & terrorists shooting at Americans.

I guess he hasn't searched YouTube to find videos of Americans & contractor forces shooting shit up in Iraq. I tried posting the following text on his website, but because he's a cut-and-runner, I was banned from his oh-so-macho, politically incorrect website months ago when I dismantled him in about 3 sentences.

My comment to the post above:

Maybe you should search YouTube. Here are some videos of contractors and military kicking ass in Iraq, and they filmed the videos themselves:

It's difficult to imagine why a majority of Iraqis would oppose the American occupation after viewing this evidence of freedom on the march.
