Call them the Extreme Religious Wrong--FUNDIES rhymes with FUNNY

[FrenchieCat]

and they ain't. It may be catchy and quick....but it's doing a diservice to the goal of discrediting this bunch of loons.

When we give those kind of cute little shortcut names like FUNDIES to these asshole scary types, we normalize them, and make them seem like a "FUN" group that some might want to join.

It's important that we get our language right round here....and I don't think that "FUNDIES" is the right description we want to use for a bunch of facist religious homophobic maniacs.

The EXtreme Religious Wrong may be longer....but few would want to join that club.

Let's not get lazy and name the Extreme Religious Wrong something that they would be proud of.

They don't calls us Libbies....so we don't need to call them Fundies. Of Petessakes....it rhymes with UNDIES.

See what I mean?

1. Sounds good to me.

2. So what we should do....is when we see a DUer

calling them "FUN"dies....

We've got to post them a correction....and make them aware! Seems petty and unconsequential....but language has a way of working for you or against you...and this one does work FOR us.

So a quick correct....like this, could work:

I know it seems like a lot to have to do....but this "FUN"dies thing is catching on like a Wildfire....and it's got to go!

3. But it also spells "fun dies".

In this, it is a descriptor.

Therefore, with respect, I must disagree.

4. God's command to Bush - from the Book of Wrong

And the Lord God said unto George W:
"Go forth and smite the innocent,
and take their oil, and terrorize their families,
and kill their children. Oh, and make sure
you tell them that I'm on YOUR side."

- Book of Wrong 9:11

7. Religious Reich

Pretty well sums up my opinion of these sanctimonious pseudo-christian scumbags.
They are the brownshirts of the republican party.

8. Well whatever name we decide.....we need consistency...

for now, Fundies is winning and is the most consistent name that they are being called.
