Here we go:

AMERICA'S DEM DAMNABLE PIT
By J. Grant Swank, Jr.
MichNews.com
Nov 2, 2006



If Dems sit upon America's throne, we will have:


Okay.
Let's see -- first, America doesn't have a throne. Although Dubya and
his buddies have been doing their best to change that.

Abortion clinics on every corner.

I
don't think any City Council, however liberal and/or hellbound, will
support rezoning every urban intersection for abortion clinics.

Same-gender 'marriages' blessed on every blissful boulevard.

Illiterate ecumenicals embarrass everyone as they attempt to alliterate idiotically.

God cleansed from the culture.

Well,
to be fair, He could certainly use a shave and a haircut. Shoe shine.
Maybe a new suit... I mean, have you looked at God lately? If He walked
into your church looking the way you guys paint Him in those color
Bible inserts, you'd have Him arrested for vagrancy.

Schools engineered for European secularism cloning.

I... what? Could you write a little more fucked up, please?

Condom machines under every lamppost.

Even closeted gay super-evangelists don't need that many condoms.

Recreational sex encouraged in public school health courses.

Youth is wasted on the wrong people. ::sniff::

Gideon Bibles absented from every motel / hotel room.

We'll
hire illegals to do the leg work. Or make the godless liberals do it.
After we send them to the Halliburton internment camps. Yeah.

Christian crosses erased from every political symbol, every mountain, every public building.

I know that everyyyyyyybody has a dream... this is my dream... my ownnnnnn...

Christmas symbols stored in underground caves in favor of "Season's greetings" stamps on every envelope.

No,
I like Christmas. It's a historically inaccurate label for the
traditional Midwinter Feast celebrated since prehistory by every human
culture inhabiting the Northern Hemisphere -- I mean, if Jesus ever was
born (there's no real historical evidence of it) then it certainly
wasn't on December 25th -- but it's what I was raised with and the
phrase that carries the most pleasant emotional associations of the
celebration for me. On the other hand, if other people want to call the
traditional MidWinter Feast something else, I'm fairly sure that's what
the First Amendment is all about. Or something.

Christmas nativity scenes labeled "criminal."

Um...
no, not so much. Unlike moron subliterate Christian conservatives,
Democrats, liberals, and other fellow travelers on the left tend to
actually respect things like civil liberties, freedom of expression,
inalienable rights, and all that jazz. For, you know, EVERYone. Not
just the people we like. Which, I grant you, isn't you.

What you
MAY see, though, and I know this will drive you crazy, but still, what
you COULD see, under Democrats, or, you know, any other political party
that really cares about tolerance and an actual right to free
expression for EVERYone, not just nutjob Jesus-blowers, is something besides a traditional Christian nativity scene next
to the traditional Christian nativity scene on publicly owned property.
Or, if there isn't room, then, yeah, the local magistrates may have to
say "sorry, you can't have your particular religious display in this
public park where many people, some of whom do not celebrate the
traditional MidWinter Feast the way you do, will walk by and have to
look at it, because we cannot give equal prominence to other religious
displays (and if we did, you and your nutjob Jesus blowing friends
would scream about THAT, and you know it's true) and so that wouldn't
be fair."

Evangelicals judicially categorized as social nuisances, their publications and preaching examined by the state.

Oh, let's do one more chorus -- "I know that everybodyyyyyyyy has a dream... I know... I know..."

Darwinian evolution cemented in every public school curriculum from elementary school through high school graduation.

All religious references erased from public buildings, starting with structures in Washington DC.

Any Ten Commandments display vacuumed from public view.

Any reference to God in public addresses deleted, e.g., commencement speeches, political speeches, etc.


I am so on board with this plan. Although your vacuum cleaner is seriously going to need to have its bag changed.

Biblical believer cleansings throughout the republic.

Well,
I don't want to be the one to break it to you, Reverend, but honestly,
a lot of your people could stand a social introduction to the concept
of 'soap'.

Homosexual couple child-adoptions encouraged in every state.

Yes, dammit! We'll pay
the gay to adopt some of these goddam surplus unwanted kids all you
good Christian heterosexual couples can't be bothered with, once you
save them from the demon abortionists.

Judeo-Christian heritage historical instruction erased from any public mentioning and all public curricula.

No, no. I think we should teach the Albigensian Crusade in every public middle school. Seriously.

Activist judges ensconced in every courtroom throughout the United States.

Wait. You left out 'hellbound liberal' in front of 'activist judges'.

Elimination of chaplains in any public institution, starting with the US Congress.

Nah,
chaplains are fine. There should just be some Innuit shaman ones, and
some Muslim ones, and some Buddhist ones, and some Mormon ones...

Jesus,
Reverend, take your meds or something. You're gonna stroke out right
here. That vein in your forehead is about to make like the
chest-burster in ALIEN.

Prohibition of evangelical chaplains in the military.

Fuck that. Our military needs all the prayer it can get, with the dickheads you people have running it.

Muslim prayer rooms established in every public area, e.g., schools, athletic gyms, and airport facilities.

It... wait. But if we take out 'Muslim' and put in 'Christian', then it's okay, right?

Muslim special time frames as Ramadan declared as holiday-days-off-from- employment.

More days off! W00T!

Korans placed in motel / hotel end tables.

More work for the illegals. God, it's great of them to work so cheap. We should buy them a chalupa, or something.

Mosques given free reign for property acquisition and construction.

Muslims encouraged to run for public office.


It...
I... um... damn us! Damn us liberals for encouraging American citizens
to buy property, build shit on it, and run for public office! Damn us!
We must be insane!

Muslim customs such as the "sharia judicial system" permitted wherever Muslims establish housing.

Yeah,
cuz, you know, we allow every other ethnic and religious sub grouping
to create their own independent justice systems inside their own
communities. Man-Law!

"Under God" deleted from the American flag pledge.

The
Pledge of Allegiance is an embarrassment in any free society. You want
your kids to take a McCarthyite loyalty oath to a piece of fucking
fabric, do it at home around the breakfast table, right before morning
prayers. My kids shouldn't be expected/required to recite the goddam
thing in school in any free country, whether the disgusting degradation
of individual liberty implicit in the Pledge's very existence is
compounded further by the insertion of idiotic nonsense spittle spew
like 'under Imaginary Scoutmaster In The Sky' or not.

Uh... sorry. Lost the funny for a minute. Really don't like the Pledge of Allegiance, though.

Any references to God in political hymns removed.

I... we... you...

'political hymns'?

No, my brain will explode. Moving on.

Public figure funerals absented of any reference to God.

Um...
no, that would, again, be covered under the First Amendment. Hey,
here's an idea. Why don't you read the Constitution of the United
States of America sometime? Yowza, there's that forehead vein again...

All Christian broadcasts / telecasts deleted.

One
more time, and I really want to hear you this time: "I KNOW -- THAT
EVERYYYBODY HASSSSS A DREEEEEEAMMMMMM... I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY,
EVERYBODY!!! HAS A DREAM... THIS IS MY DREAM, MY OWNNNNNNN...."

Oh yeah.

Hilarious rebuttals! Rolling, rolling, rolling.

This was printed in a real live paper? For reals?

Thanks, I needed that.

Funny! Both the cartoonish editorial and your responses. Thanks!

I think this guy had rabies.

The Swank dude, not Nebula. Bitten by a muslim skunk with rabies and probably wrote this with a mouth full of foam and his head revolving around its axis. Frightening what the human mind can cook up. Thanks, Doc, for dreaming the dream.

I'm gonna let your gratuitous Kor[e]ans slur slide and rec this beauty.

If Dad was the bloggin' type, he could post something similar under the title Home for the Holidays ... Swank sounds like the son Gramps regrets he never had.

Bloody marvelous. Rec'd.

this guy's rant against Dems was written in 2006. i doubt it's being circulated.

still, very funny rebuttals.

Cool. Where do I put my Saturnalia symbols, whatever they actually are?

(Proper term for the midwinter thing...)

And every Italian restaurant will be a church for the good ol' FSM, yes?

Saturnalia is the proper term for the MidWinter Feast if you were part of the Roman Empire. It's by no means a universal term.

If you trace my ancestry back far enough, most of it was...

cool. all i've got is chinese blood.

but i have a degree in british literature and have studied latin (and classics) for years, so i'm kind of a 'phile for western civs.

*cough*

It hard to breathe in here, what with all the straw men.

Good job! We have many a dream in common ;-)
