Moonbat on Wingnut

Starting off with correlating those of us "moonbat liberals" who have dared put down Brit Hume's jabbering about Tiger Woods, to the Romans feeding Christians to lions in primeval times, Matt Barber's write-up gets even more absurdly off-point after that.

Hume went on FOX asserting his own faith in Jesus Christ and continued on proselytizing that "the extent to which [Tiger Woods] can recover seems to me depends on his faith". Hume pontificating that Tiger the Buddhist really should do some rethinking and accept instead the forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith for so much of that extra sex. "Tiger," he said, "turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."

Sure, after the comments were made we moonbats were pissed and said so, although I would hardly categorize it as Barber asserts "apoplectic" or with "unbridled hate". And not quite because as Barber explains it that "nothing makes the left lose its collective noodle like an open proclamation of Christian faith."

Speaking of losing noodles... yikes. Here's the deal. We don't really give a rat's ass about Brit Hume's nor anyone else's affection, or disaffection for that matter, for Jesus Christ. Way off base to conjecture that we all have anything against the good Lord whatsoever, or that even from those that might, that this has any relevance to the flare-up after Hume's pulpiteering. It doesn't. Kind of making a wingnut assumption there in my moonbat opinion.

It has to do with speaking out against intolerant, pompous religious bigotry and Hume presuming to take upon himself defining Buddhism for Tiger's best interest in being that "great example to the world". It has to do with being exasperated by the my-god's-better-than-yours attitude regardless of whichever religiosity, and criticizing out of hand another's just as legit albeit dissimilar spiritual path as being misguided.

I would like to imagine this overall matter for Tiger the opportunity for practicing the Buddhist way in dealing with challenge. As it is asked, "Master, why do you put up with this useless man? He causes more problems than he solves," the befitting answer so goes, "his irritating temper and uselessness teach me everyday how to be patient and tolerant". Whodathunkit, the Hume and Barber lot as case study of Buddhism.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o
