Conservapedia’s Bullshit Pile, Pt. 3
Conservapedia has a story in its news list on the front page at the moment. It goes thus:
The candidate pretending to represent the working class, Barack Obama, is scheduled to attend a $30,800-ticket fundraiser at the home of the wealthy hard rocker “Jon Bon Jovi” on Friday.
Now, I don’t know about you, but what the fuck is wrong with Obama going to a CHARITY fundraiser? This really gets me angry – it’s a horribly cheap shot. I know people have been taking cheap shots at Sarah Palin’s sex and her daughter, but doesn’t the bible say ‘turn the other cheek’? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say ‘turn the other cheek, unless you have an election to win.’
Why to Vote for Obama, Not McCain
So, it seems that Barack Obama has actually responded to scientists’ requests to clarify his policies on science. It provides fourteen more reasons to vote for the Democrats in November, if you’re in the USA (also taking into consideration that he is in favour of actually teaching science in science classes). Those of us who aren’t (myself included) are counting on you to ensure that the religious cretins of the Republican party don’t get back in the White House.
With this in mind, it transpires that Sarah Palin, McCain’s running mate for Vice President, doesn’t know her own country’s history.
11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.
She of course neglected to mention that the Pledge of Allegiance wasn’t written until the late 19th century, years after the Founding Fathers had kicked the bucket. The words “Under God” weren’t added until nineteen-fifty-fricking-four.
How can this woman be considered by anyone to be suitable for the White House?
