And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

[…] Over at HORSESASS, David Goldstein (aka Sawant’s Rasputin) makes fun of the Jewish prophets Is… […]
That translation doesn’t make any sense!
One of other translations:
The strongest will perish, young boys and veterans too. The land will be soaked with blood, and the soil made rich with fat.
The only thing in common across all versions was the word “fat”
Also unicorns translates to young boys?
@ 1
“unicorns translates to young boys?”
It does for Catholic Priests.
This particular passage just smacks of the old “wait ’till my big brother gets here, you’ll all be sorry then” sort of thing.
Wishful thinking by people who would rather hide in the corner and pray for shit to fix itself than actually take on any responsibility for solving a problem.
Ugh, fatty dust. I hear vinegar gets that off. As far as the fear factor goes, you hear these adherents using it all the time. Doom and gloom will come if… blah, bullocks, blah. I think we just passed another Christian end-of-the-world scenario. Boorriinngggg!
@1 Hey, that is the King James version, the undisputed voice of God.
If the King James Bible was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me.
Funny thing. David posts these silly quotes whil esupporitng a hate monger for city council?
How are unicorns any different than Sawants bizzare proposalas to “Tax the Rich” to spend $3 billion A YEAR so she can build housing projects (aka bringng back the poor house) to confine low income people to ghettos?
Oh, and then his pet “Troskyite” wants to raise tax the rich for even more to build a low costs broiadband network and support free transit.

@6 weird, it almost reads like those are bad things! Personally i find affordable housing better than no housing
@6 Steve,
A.) I didn’t “make fun of the Jewish prophets.” I quoted the Bible without comment.
B.) You are fucking obsessed in your hatred of Kshama.
For a moment there I thought there was a new NFL team “The Unicorns!” Maybe they are Gods own team. Maybe they will play the Seahawks or maybe the Eagles. Come one Goldy just replace one team with a bird of pray as a mascot with another that has a bird of pray as a mascot. They look so much alike. A little more rain and sooner or later you will fall to the magical spell of Unicorns and Seahawks….and the fatty hamburgers at the game are yummy!
The Irish Rovers sing the Unicorns drowned in the flood. Of course Unicorns are Greek in origin and Isiah and Job were written long before any Greek influence. Probably a mistranslation and unicorns are probably wild ox or antelope. So sorry frolicking unicorns would never be involved with all this blood and stuff, not The Goddess would not allow her Unicorns to be used in this way. After all they hang out virgins and all that jazz.
@6 You obviously don’t know what a poor house or working house was. It was almost but not quite indentured servitude and in England where poor houses first came into vogue the next step was indentured servitude. Lot of indentured people went to the colonies and later to Australia. Wonder if the United States or Washington state constitutions say anything on the matter.
The Prophet Isiah most likely would agree with Sawant and insist the city provide adequate housing for the poor and that the rich should provide the money to do so voluntarily and if not then be taxed. He would find this element of American society odd, bewildering, shameful, and wrong.
1. I do not hate Sawant any more than I hate Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Dennis Kusinich, Donald Trump or nay other self serving ego maniac.
As for affordable housing, that is anything but what she props es unless you think the 3000 or so foks oin Seattle who ,might qualify for her wealth tax are willing to tithe so they can pay for a 3 billion dollar levy.
and yeh, I know perfectly well about poor houses and about the tenements and about the housing projects. Does any sane person think these are good ways of solving our real problems?
maybe David talks to Isaiah. I do not have that privilege but the selection was obviously meant as snark.
Maybe I will start running quotes of the badly written bible Sawant submitted as her PhD thesis. They are even more funky! Di d ya know education cures poverty in India?
Ok, Goldy, don’t start with this. It’s bad enough to read comments about actual quotes.
From the Jewish Publication Society volume, not the fucking King James Christian volume or some unicorn-infected thing:
“Wild oxen shall fall with them,
Young bulls with might steers;
And their land shall be drunk with blood
Their soil shall be saturated with fat.”
@6 and @12: I certainly hope you’re not a real Jew. If so, you’ve lowered the IQ of the collective Jews in the world all by yourself.
sarah91 If ity matters, yes I am a very real Jew.
FWIW, I think David’s “Bible Study: is a boit long in the tooth. The trolls who used to being some fun to theoid gimmick seem to have lost their desire to take the bait.
