G-slide

Heard this on the radio the other night. Could not believe my ears. The magic of the internet allows me to relive the magic at will, and share with you.

If you cannot take it, just skip to 1:58.

Next favorite band

Holy shit. This one is the biggest mess yet. What a fucking wreck. Pop punk autotuned christian mall metalcore. I honestly do not think I have ever seen a more heartless band (see the drummer/autotune guy at any point throughout the video, the string section attempting to go off, particularly at 2:19, 2:25 2:47, 2:53, 3:14 and 3:36, the singer at 2:45, when HE FUCKING THROWS CARDS). Holy crap does this shit suck.



LOOK AT THE DRUMMER'S FUCKING FILL AT 1:30. It does not even closely match the recording.

Matching white v-neck shirts (sorry keyboard player, I guess they didn't have any six packs of Hanes at Target). A bouncing camera. A card game with a one dollar bill (1:34).

Also, the singer has a carabiner that does not seem to be attached to anything, which can be viewed at 0:45. Wow.

We will tour all the way to Cornerstone with them this year, with a limited edition split seven inch, shaped like an iPhone, available in several neon colors as well as all-over print.

All I want for Christmas...

IS YOU

Pigs for Christ, against women

Fucking brilliant quote from this former pig who runs an anti-choice organization in Las Vegas:

Three months later, Operation Rescue, the umbrella anti-abortion group, arrived in Las Vegas, where Mr. Gallagher was a police officer. He refused to arrest protesters, and when his sergeant suspended him, he joined the “rescuers.”

“I learned something that changed my life,” Mr. Gallagher said. “It wasn’t civil disobedience; it was biblical obedience.”

Thanks pig. Your trenchant insight has shown the issue so clearly. Biblical obedience. What other choice do you have, really. It has to be the truth, because it does. Get it? Sure, the bible came around a few thousand years ago, and yeah, the current human species had been around for about five hundred thousand years at that point, but that's irrelevant. The Lord God Jesus (The LGJ) was really busy for all that time, and was having a hard time finding a lady until Mary came along. You think he would have made her earlier, but again, he was busy. He's The LGJ.

The quote is from a broader story on the more in your face types of woman hating anti-choice people and all their very creative signs and stickers.

Operation Rescue - "I had to borrow money just to send you this letter..."

I hope it's true. Troy Newman, the group's president, claims Operation Rescue is fucking broke:

"We're now so broke (as the saying goes), we can't even pay attention," Newman wrote.

Newman told The Associated Press in an interview after the mailing that the group has only four paid employees left, compared to nine a year ago. The group typically has an annual budget of $600,000, but donations this year have been down 30 percent to 40 percent. Newman, who earns $60,000 annually, said he hasn't been paid in two months.

"You see, this summer has been brutal for Operation Rescue," Newman wrote. "Not only did George Tiller's death throw everybody in the pro-life movement for a loop (and especially us), but the economic crisis our nation is suffering has brought our financial support to nearly a halt."

I'm sure, that in addition to the economic recession, Troy Newman sees a moral one, demonstrated by his group's financial difficulties.

Whether the organization is penniless or not, I'm not sure how much real difference it makes. I'm not very up on the coat hanger or nothing scene, so I don't know how many serious anti-choice groups are out there these days. I know Operation Rescue was THE one for a while, and I figured they still were. Randall Terry is still doing some bullshit, I'm sure.

Whatever the case, it makes me feel good to see people like this crawl. Fuck every one of them. Fuck every person who has ever donated to them.

I have these visions where Troy Newman, Randall Terry, Cheryl Sullenger (Operation Rescue "Senior Policy Advisor" and would-be clinic bomber) and whatever other malicious parasites live atop the heap of woman-hating zeal become so poor and crazy from their tunnel-vision lifestyles that they are homeless. Their homelessness is of the variety where they are street people; they have to live off of the fat of society. One night, drunkenly dumpster diving (they have long since strayed from the flock), they find some decent scraps of meat, still warm. You gotta take what you can get when you are in this position. As they walk off, joyously feasting upon their finds, they realize they've been eating fetuses.

I would like to credit Bad Religion with Operation Rescue's organizational destitution.

New Write Back Soon shirt

Hey, we decided we're gonna get some awesome new shirts. You see it, you can read it, you know it rules and that it's fucking true. The thing is, we couldn't improve them any further, so just go here and buy them. It saves everyone time and trouble, no middleman junk. For real though, they'll be legit Write Back Soon shirts, even though it doesn't have our name on it. It says Jesus and Lord and whatever else, which is the same thing, so it's fine. Just hit them up.

Lol @ anti-choice guy getting gunned down

This happened a few weeks ago; I meant to write on it, but it's been slipping my mind. All this stuff with Attack Attack! has been taking up a lot of time.

Anyway, finally. Someone took out one of those self-appointed warriors for Christ. Fuck this guy. I'm glad he's dead. This piece of shit, a member of Operation Rescue, had spent years sitting outside a high school, a car dealership (?), Planned Parenthood offices, abortion clinics and who knows where else, holding up the usual signs of "the murdered unborn" or whatever they want to call fetuses, endeavoring to put his hands on women's bodies, to force them into having children they don't want, denying them the rights to control their lives.

See that guy up top? That's Harlan Drake. He did it. He shot Captain Christ, aka Jim Pouillon.

He wasn't killed in a personal dispute, he wasn't killed by accident. He was shot and killed deliberately because of the nature of his activities and his refusal to relent. A long time ago, he decided to dedicate his life to hating and controlling women.

The county's chief assistant prosecutor, Sara Edwards, said there didn't appear to be a "triggering event" but Pouillon's presence outside the school seemed to aggravate Drake. It was "the fact that he was outside the high school with his signs in front of children going to school," she said.

Yup.

Operation Rescue president Troy Newman said Pouillon was a member of the anti-abortion group, adding that he wept Friday when he received word that his friend had been killed. "He was just a kind, gentle man who loved life and endeavored to save other people's lives," Newman said.

Boo hoo hoo. What a tragic loss. Such a wonderful Christ warrior. He sure loved to control women's bodies. Troy Newman, what a judge of character.

Again, fuck this guy. He wasn't just someone who didn't like abortion. Operation Rescue, these are the people who kill doctors, these are the people who foster the sentiments that convince people to kill doctors, these are the people who love the dirty work that the doctor killers do for them. They thrive on the orgasmic power of intimidation.

Mr. Pouillon was at the real hardcore of this crap. A real die hard. And he died hard.

The Rev. Rodger DeVore, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene, said Pouillon never seemed to tire and even protested outside the church.

"He did not attend a church because he felt pastors were not strong enough in their defense of the aborted child," DeVore said. "I told him, 'Jim, everyone has to fight in their own armor. You have your approach and we have our approach.' We agreed to disagree."

Jim Pouillon won't be intimidating anyone ever again. May there be a bullet for everyone like him.

Told ya they're comin for yer freedom!!!!!!!!!

First healthcare, now you can't even get naked on planes and hit people anymore.

You want my freedom? Well take a look at THIS!

That's right. THE FUCKING GLORY OF AMERICA GOD EAGLE FLAG WORDS.

All those liberal fat cat radical communist integrationist dogs down over in Washington can suck on that one! HOW'S A LITTLE FLAG FOR YA, PINKOS? DON'T LIKE THAT ONE DO YA? IT'S LIKE A GARLIC CROSS IN A VAMPIRE'S ASSHOLE.

Don't say I didn't tell ya when they ban prayer in church!!!

I fucking hate this country

Straight up. Fuck this place.

People in general are out of their minds, on a species level, but some of us actually try to rein it in. Not so in so many places, such as Louisville, Kentucky.

Ken Pagano, the pastor of the New Bethel Church here, is passionate about gun rights. He shoots regularly at the local firing range, and his sermon two weeks ago was on “God, Guns, Gospel and Geometry.” And on Saturday night, he is inviting his congregation of 150 and others to wear or carry their firearms into the sanctuary to “celebrate our rights as Americans!” as a promotional flier for the “open carry celebration” puts it.

“God and guns were part of the foundation of this country,” Mr. Pagano, 49, said Wednesday in the small brick Assembly of God church, where a large wooden cross hung over the altar and two American flags jutted from side walls. “I don’t see any contradiction in this. Not every Christian denomination is pacifist.”

Right on, Ken. God and guns. Fucking fantastic. Go America. Hell fuckin yeah bro. Right on. Right fucking on. Bang bang - is that the sound of two knees hitting the ground or two bullets leaving the barrel? Is there a difference?

Fuck this place. Fuck everyone's shitty, empty religion. I don't care what it is, fuck it. It's stupid and fake. Whatever god you worship doesn't exist, unless you're a staunch capitalist, cause money surely exists. Fuck everyone's stubborn refusal to think.

They want their guns in church. Isn't that supposed to be their refuge, their time to be the flock of sheep to their boundlessly loving shepherd?

Uh oh - looks like Big Brother is comin for ya Jethro! Better hide the guns in the pig feed!

Arkansas and Georgia recently rejected efforts to allow people to carry concealed weapons in church. Watching the debate in Arkansas was John Phillips, pastor of the Central Church of Christ in Little Rock. In 1986, Mr. Phillips was preaching in a different church there when a gunman shot him and a parishioner. Both survived, but Mr. Phillips, 51, still has a bullet lodged in his spine.

In a telephone interview, he said he found the idea of “packing in the pew” abhorrent.

“There is a movement afoot across the nation, with the gun lobby pushing the envelope, trying to allow concealed weapons to be carried in places where they used to be prohibited — churches, schools, bars,” Mr. Phillips said.

What does he know? If everyone else had guns, they could have shot the guy who shot him! That bullet in his spine just makes for cooler x-rays. But no, prohibition is the PROBLEM, don't you see? Of course we need more guns in schools and bars. Definitely, what a great idea. Yes, guns in bars. I'm all for it. The quicker to weed us out. Guns wherever we want them - hospitals, nursery schools, roller coasters, mental hospitals, airplanes, comic book conventions, wherever. I WANT MY FUCKING GUN, DON'T YOU GET IT??????

And no, I'm not a pacifist either. It's just that I'm not a single issue lunatic who thinks that guns = freedom, that there is no better measure.

We live in a backwards country overflowing with dumb hicks who believe and fear things like the GUVMENT CUMMIN TO TAKE MUH GUNS AWAY. That's your fucking priority? THAT'S your concern? THAT'S your big issue? Fucking GUN CONFISCATION? THAT'S what really troubles you in the grand scheme of the world? Fuck. How could I ever fit in a place like this. I can't, that's how. Cause I'm an alien.

John McCain sez:

"'to be as good an American' as the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93."

So make sure you are.

Religious zealots

running for office and having a fucking good chance of "winning". This doesn't really seem to bother people; not like it should. Same shit, over and over, and it's fucking outrageous. Who cares? Who speaks out? THIS WOMAN IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THE ONLY TWO POLITICAL PARTIES IN THIS COUNTRY. Millions of people will vote for the ticket of which she is half. Millions will vote to put a person into executive office who rules by a religious book. Millions. And the rest, what will they do? Vote for someone else? What the fuck happened that people like this stand as major representatives for the people of this country? Is this who we are? How is this happening?

"'The churches that Sarah has attended all believe in a literal translation of the Bible,' Kincaid said. 'Her principal ethical and moral beliefs stem from this.' Prayer, and belief in its power, is another constant theme, Kincaid said, in what she has witnessed in Palin. 'Her beliefs are firm in the power of prayer - let's put it that way,' she said."

The more I see, the more I want out.

man.

this story is fucked in obvious ways. no surprises though, anything goes when dealing with religion. there are lots of things i could point out here, but i'm just gonna do this one cause it rules:

"'The church does not feel authorized to change the will of its founder Jesus Christ,' Amato said in an interview prepared for Vatican Radio that was released to reporters. The reference is to Christ's having chosen only men as his Apostles."

that man was serious.
