Fascism???

Because some people have lost their fucking minds and think that Obama is a fascist, here is a definition of fascism (from Webster's Universal College Dictionary).

fas-cism - 1. a totalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism, militarism, and often racism.

This definition does not describe the administration of any US president, current or past, but it comes much closer to describing the most recent past administration (GWB) than it does Obama.

Is our system of government totalitarian? Is the president a dictator? Does it promote nationalism, militarism, or racism?

If you still "believe" Obama to be a fascist then there is no communicating with you and you are just a fucking moron not worthy of any effort.

I can understand if you don't like (some, or even all of) the things the Obama administration is doing, but labeling it fascist (or socialist, which is closer to reality, but still inaccurate) does nothing to further your cause.

WWJP - Who Wants a Jesus Puppet?


Came across this on the web and thought it was amusing. You, too, can own your own "big-mouth professional puppet" that is "30 inches tall with legs attached and approximately 19 inches with legs removed."

Why you might want to remove Jesus' legs is beyond me, but hey, I am definitely not their target audience.

Reading further, I learned that "(a)ll clothes are completely removable and interchangeable." Now we're getting somewhere. Jesus in a tutu? Wearing a kilt? Galoshes and a yellow Gorton's fisherman slicker? Now any of those sound like a lot more fun than merely removing his legs, doncha think?

But don't rush over there to buy one... unfortunately, it looks like Jesus sold out.
