@3 I don’t think they care all that much about Jews. Sure, it bothers them that 90% of the Jewish vote goes to Democrats, but it’s difficult to shout “Israel!” and hate Jews at the same time. That requires more subtlety of distinction than most Republicans are capable of.
The real targets of the “War on Christmas” are, of course, Mooslims; and, to a lesser extent, atheists, agnostics, Wiccans, etc. The fact that many native-born African-Americans have chosen to re-identify with their ancestral Muslim roots adds a nice racial fillip to the religious discrimination.
The challenge for rightwing religious bigots is how to spot the white folks who don’t subscribe their firebrand Christianity on the street, so they can keep their children at a safe distance from these people. (With black people, whether Mooslim or not, it’s easy to see them coming and cross the street in a timely manner.)
They should thank Starbucks for solving this problem for them. If they see a white person with a plain red Starbucks cup, s/he is a liberal heretic for sure, and to be avoided like the plague because, as you know, liberal thought is highly contagious, although holding up a Bible is widely believed by them to be effective at fending off contamination.

In Alabama, a pregnant woman can go to prison for 10 years for taking a legal anxiety medication prescribed by her doctor.
http://www.motherjones.com/moj.....drug-users
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Lots of states have screwy laws on their books, but this one is actually being enforced, and not just against its intended target: Meth abusers. Here is what Alabama cops and prosecutors have done with it:
“Nearly 500 women have been arrested on related charges since the law passed in 2006. The law has been criticized by civil rights groups and public health experts for being harmful to those who need the most help—women who are faced with poverty and addiction—and for unfairly prosecuting women who were not drug users at all, but who might have simply taken a small dose of medication that eventually appeared in the blood test of their new babies.”
This is reminiscent of backward countries like Guatemala that sentence women to life in their filthy prisons with subhuman living conditions for having miscarriages. Of course, Alabama is about as close as you can get in the United States to a backward, undeveloped, third-world economy and society. The question is, why does anyone choose to live there? Why hasn’t everyone left Alabama by now? You don’t need a passport or papers to get across the state line; and once you’re out of their jurisdiction, they can’t do that to you anymore.
As for Alabama cops and prosecutors, and the GOP legislators who invent these laws, I suppose they don’t want to give up what they undoubtedly see as a useful tool for harassing the poor blacks who haven’t fled their state yet.
Roger Rabbit spews:
I see a great irony in the religiosity of conservatives and their embrace of a brutal social ideology that permits human exploitation for personal gain.
For an atheist who doesn’t believe there’s a divine power in the universe or an afterlife, the only restraint on man’s ruthless exploitation of his fellow man is whatever moral expectations people are able to devise and enforce; the uncaring universe furnishes no disincentive for behaving badly. If you don’t believe there’s a divine being or afterlife, then it doesn’t matter what you do in this life, except for the judgment of your fellow humans.
Unfortunately, religion doesn’t seem to, either. The people who owned slaves, violently suppressed labor strikes, opposed child labor laws, fight workplace safety regulation and minimum wages, etc., are all churchgoing “good Christians” practically to a man. If they’re right about a divine being who holds people accountable for their conduct in this life, then Hell must be a crowded place.

@6 What if you cover a bible in holiday Starbuck cups and hold it up? Seems so wrong to me.
I do think consumerism is a threat to Christmas. Yet it is and has been an American part of the holiday.I’ve enjoyed Christmas in Europe and it’s less commercial and oddly less religious. I don’t have a problem going to a mass or if asked to go to a Christmas celebration at a church. Seeing nativities and festivals in Europe is interesting.
Maybe this should be a Kwanza Christmas.
I remember one Christmas eve with my parents we were on the big Apache reservation just passing through and were at the fort of F Troop fame off the highway and we got to hear some Apaches talk about Christmas and their holidays. Now that was an eye opener to hear people talk about Christmas as not being so important, but a nice day off an they got to see family ect. And part of the reason why Christmas wasn’t such a big deal was because these were not rich or even middle class, they were doing well compared to their neighbors, but these poor people put things into perspective.
Mark Adams spews:
@9 What Religious people and even liberals have a problem with is what Greek (Socrates? Aristotle?) said we humans are social animals…that we are political animals. Whether or not there is a heaven these are truths. These truths are not easily found in the bible. Then again neither is the concept of zero or algebra. I believe even the most agnostic or atheists have had religious moments in their lives. Some will admit it. Nature is pretty awesome. And you survive certain things like an earthquake or volcanic eruption, tornado, flooed, ect. There is a tendency to be thankful. Maybe god will be mentioned even.
For human beings to survive and pass down our genes which is really what life is about, if religion helps get those genes passed then more social humans who have a tendency to believe in god will pass their genes on. And say you get your genes passed into say a family with the name Bush or Clinton hey you have scored big time in the genetic game. There could be a god gene or a religion gene or other genes involved. Could be all social, which suggests getting rid of the whole religion thing is possible, but Communism as practiced in the Soviet Union seems to have replaced it with a religion of the state and the soviet man. The North Koreans seem to be practicing some real old time religion in devotion to their great leader. If there is a ghost of Adolf Hitler he’s got to be jealous.
In any case religion is part of our world. Bagel Mr. Rabbit?

@21 College football has been a public subsidy to professional football ever since professional football was established.

This would take some of the air out of college football but college athletics aren’t supposed to be professional.

“Neither President Obama nor other officials in his administration, however, have spoken of shutting down radical mosques in the U.S. But U.S. reticence about taking actions now being implemented by France and Belgium isn’t for a lack of mosques in this country in which hatred for American values and support for jihad terrorism are regularly heard.”
No, it’s for the presence of a thing called the First Amendment, which says in so many words that our government can’t shut down churches just because somebody doesn’t like your religion. France and Belgium don’t have a First Amendment. We do. That’s the difference.

There is, of course, a purely investment thesis for not owning fossil fuel stocks if you believe that industry is facing permanent decline. Of course, Republicans will never admit that for political reasons, and it probably was a Republican who took one of my coal stocks off my hands; it’s now worth about a fourth of what he paid me for it. My other coal company is about to file for bankruptcy, and that stock is going to be a total loss.

Roger Rabbit Quiz
How many of the Paris attackers and conspirators were Syrians? I’m going to make this real easy by giving you a cheat sheet:
“New evidence emerging from the investigation into the Paris attacks points to a conspiracy … orchestrated primarily by disaffected young Europeans. Seven men and a woman were detained in the aftermath of Wednesday morning’s shootout in the Paris suburb of St-Denis, including the tenant of the apartment that was the focus of the police raid, Jawad Bendaoud, who told journalists he had been asked by a friend to put up ‘two of his mates for a few days’. He said all he knew is ‘they came from Belgium’. The St-Denis detentions bring the number of people being held in connection with Friday night’s assault on Paris to 10. Two Belgians, Mohammed Amri and Hamza Attou, have been charged in Brussels with complicity in the attacks and participation in terrorist activity. … All the other known attackers, as well as Abaaoud, are of French and Belgian nationality ….”

If Hillary Clinton is elected the Federal and State truce may hold, but it’s possible she may out Republican the Republican’s on the issue, change the Obama policies and fast track it. It’s entirely possible that the issue will still make it’s way to the Supreme Court during her first term.

Trump’s Unbelievably Vicious Lie About Arab-Americans
“Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump defended comments he made Saturday saying he saw thousands of people in Jersey City, New Jersey cheering when the World Trade Center was destroyed on September 11, 2001.
“‘There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations,’ he told George Stephanopoulos today on ABC’s ‘This Week.’
“‘They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down — as those buildings came down, and that tells you something. It was well covered at the time.’
“‘”I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down, and I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down,’ he said.”
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics.....d=35355447
Roger Rabbit Commentary: I won’t be surprised if some mosques get torched and Arab-Americans (or people who resemble them) get assaulted and maybe even murdered because of Trump’s irresponsible remarks.
Trump apparently has fallen for an internet rumor that was debunked years ago. (Kinda like that South Carolina lady who swallowed whole a hoax rumor that Obama tried to nuke Charleston.) Snopes.com has the lowdown here:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics.....d=35355447
What did happen was that on the day of the 9/11 attacks five young men from the Middle East were “clowning around and photographing themselves in front of the burning towers from the New Jersey waterfront.” They were, ahem, not Muslim Arabs but Israeli Jews.
Trump has ulterior motives here. He gets press coverage, and a boost in the polls, by saying outrageous things. For most of us, in most workplaces, reckless tongue wagging would get us fired (or at least sent home). But Trump has never worked for a boss, so maybe that’s a lesson he never learned. When you’re a billionaire, people suck up to you, and nobody says anything to you about what comes out of your mouth. (They’ll do it behind your back, though.)
We don’t need any more evidence that this bozo is unfit to be president, or to hold any other public office, down to and including city sewer commissioner. It’s tempting to say he should just shut up and go home. But I actually don’t want him to do that, although I wish he’d tone it down enough so that nobody gets killed because of his remarks. Even his wife is telling him to tone it down, but he apparently doesn’t listen to her, either.
No, I want Trump to stay in the race (if he can avoid getting people killed by his irresponsible mouth), because I’m having too much fun watching the GOP establishment getting twisted into knots by their “Trump problem.” Plus, if he makes good his renewed threat to run as an independent, Hillary is practically guaranteed to win the White House. I just don’t want it to go so far that innocent people get killed. A massive Hillary landslide would be enough to satisfy my partisan cravings.

Interesting that there was no commentary on Sidney Blumenthal (hero of the early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit) 9/11 lies but deep commentary on Sidney Blumenthal (hero of the early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit) cover-ups! People forget the first World Trade Center bombing under Clinton in 1993 and the USS Cole attack and what the Clinton sadministration purposely did (The Gorelick Wall) undr the guise of progressivism to hamper the US against future attacks!

Does this mean Trump will go to jail for inciting violence against Arab-Americans with his incendiary claims of seeing “thousands and thousands” of them* standing on the Jersey Shore and “cheering” the collapse of the Twin Towers?
* Actually five Israelis clowning around for selfies.

To Obummer the ISIS JV Team is “a bunch of killers with good social media.”
Obummer’s politically correct libtard generals in the Pentagon are accused of purposely fudging the ISIS data so Obummer can be excused of his ignorance to the real ISIS threat.

@82 I agree we shouldn’t vote for Bill Clinton in 2016. He’s brilliant, but has no morals. I don’t want him blowing the help in the Oval Office again, and he won’t. After his wife is elected president, he’ll have to do it upstairs in the Lincoln Bedroom, out of sight of the tourists. Just because he’s married to the president doesn’t mean she’ll let him into her workplace. See those guards by the door? They’re posted there to keep Bill out.

@94 Then there’s this: ” … the latest polls suggest that Trump’s success has come not in spite of his famously loose lips, but because of them.”
http://www.theatlantic.com/pol.....nd/417282/
Roger Rabbit Commentary: This confirms what we’ve suspected all along: Republican voters are attracted by lies, in the same way that shit draws flies. In fact, you can argue flies are more evolutionarily advanced than Republican voters are; they know good shit when they smell it, whereas there’s no such thing as nutritious lies.
Here’s something really interested about those polls:
“Yet the most interesting finding came when the pollsters asked Trump’s supporters (as well as Carson’s) what their ‘favorite thing’ about the candidate was. In both states, the clear winner was, ‘He says things others are afraid to say.’ Hardly any respondents said they were most drawn to Trump’s ‘personal success story’—which is more or less the stated rationale for his candidacy. Nor did many people cite his ‘outlook for America,’ which despite his ubiquitous slogan is generally pretty grim.
In other words, the ONLY thing they like about Trump is the fact he lies. Says a lot about them, doesn’t it? Shit, at least, doesn’t pretend to be something else.

I call those the loon’s “links to nowhere”. This one supposedly proves that Trump was right and that there were ‘thousands” of Muslims celebrating the fall of the towers. The link to Powerlineblog and their subsequent link to Wapo proved nothing of the kind – links to nowhere. And yet this is what passes as ‘proof’ in the mind of the batshit crazy loon.

@94 What they leave out is it was at a small party for defense contractors and some of their large investors. This is why Trump knows as he was invited to the party and wasn’t able to attend. There were some cheering people there. Some clearly torn people as well. Since then though they have done very well so the cheering has gotten louder.
