The Bible Says It!

Deuteronomy 13,20,21 (King James version):


13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her...
20 if..the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die


This just makes so much sense to Green Eagle.  It is in the bible, after all.  I know that all of the righteous Christians that are so obsessed about some verse in Leviticus about gays are now going to do the right thing. I am confident that Newt Gingrich will lead the way, crushing Callista to death with rocks, as he certainly had knowledge that she was not a virgin when he married her.


Thanks to Tina Dupuy at Crooks and Liars for bringing this oh-so-important biblical passage to our attention.

That's the beauty of religion. It allows you to pick and choose the passages you want to follow.

I hope your choice of this passage doesn't portend some animus against wives!

"animus" ? Can we use that word on mothers day?

The blood lust in Old Testament Christian and Judeo/Islamic scriptures is a curse on humanity and fuel for radical politcal and fundamentalist hatred.

When Martin Bashir quoted scripture regarding compassion for the poor, Rep. Joe Barton(R) TX responded with, "The Lord helps those who help themselves", to justify his vote to slash meals on wheels.

Of course, that is not in any version of the Bible, but it does convey their belief in, and service to, the cult of the Mammonite "free market".

Greed is both their virtue and sacrament, for the power of wealth is their only God.

They throw a fifty year tantrum over what the bible says about men laying down with men, but have nothing to say about the equally important biblical ban on eating shrimp.

Liars and hypocrites, every one of them.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
