16. that comic, how horrible was he? cry me a fucking river about oppression

did you hear what he said about having a tv show? "They let gays on tv, if you're fat, if you're black or Spanish you can be on tv" oh and now the nut with 10 kids!

[Scout1071]

15. Holy shit....this comedian, Brad Stine is a nut.

He's up on stage preaching....and not being funny at all....and talking about fighting for his country.

Well, DU, maybe we should contact him and let him know that he is encouraged to enlist and walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

Are You Mad at Brad?

Post your own ravings on the message board.

[AlCzervik]

17. did you hear him whining about not having a sitcom because he's not gay or black

or liberal?

[justiceischeap]

18. My guess is

He doesn't have a sitcom 'cause he's um... not funny!

[Scout1071]

19. Or funny.

I really didn't think he was the least bit funny.

[FyurFly]

20. These people are the reason I own guns

These folks scare the shit out of me. I'm an atheist and fully believe if they ever gain enough power some of us wil be in deep shit.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

21. I was raised a Christian...

and they scare then crap out of me! :scared:

I just got through watching this and I have to say, I found it disturbing on sooo many levels. I don't know what was worse -- seeing very little of Christ in these people, watching the indoctrination of those children, or seeing so clearly their plans to "reclaim" the country for Jesus. It was all really too much for me.

These people are living in a different reality then me. Such willful ignorance of both Christ's message and the truths of science makes my skin crawl. Their brains on are "lock" and there is nothing that can be done.

I see very little difference between them -- even the suppposed moderate, "sane" ones that were presented -- and the religious fervor/insanity that is whipped up in the Islamic world. Very little. They even use the same "warrior" language. And if you don't think some of them would be perfectly happy with a modern day stoning or two for certain types of sinners, than I think you're just crazy. All it would take is a Falwell or Haggard or an Osteen to start preaching from the pulpit, "That's what the Bible calls for and the Bible is the word of God!" for the stonings to begin.

24. pro gun-control here

but DAMN that makes a lotta sense!

[MountainLaurel]

27. That's probably a wise idea

I led a bookgroup on "The Handmaid's Tale" last month and reminded myself how slippery the slope is.

[flamingyouth]

22. Wow - that was disturbing.

The part with the kids and creationism was especially frightening.

[young_at_heart]

23. Just watched it and I'm literally sick to my stomach

They are brainwashing children and teenagers.....it's beyond scary, what is happening. Bush has encouraged this movement and they are determined to "take over"!

[young_at_heart]

25. I'm still sick!

The angst I feel is still as strong this morning!

[MountainLaurel]

26. I recorded it

Will watch it this weekend. Am interested and scared at the same time: I lived this movie at one point in my life.
