Wiles: ‘Raw Satanic Sewage Out of Hell’ Ran Through Streets of Austin During Abortion Protests

Predicts “mass slaughter of Christians”

Your totally unhinged religious right moment of the day:

These demons weren’t hiding behind bushes, they were out in the street; they were in the streets possessing the people who were demanding the right to murder babies.

I hope this is sinking in to our audience of the severity of the Satanic attack that the church is under right now. Make now mistake about what is happening; this is raw Satanic sewage coming up out of Hell. The sewer pipes of Hell have broken open and this is raw hate against Jesus Christ, against God, against the Bible, against righteous men and women, against life, against anything that is good and decent.

This is the face of the Obamanista revolution and this is only the beginning. This is only the beginning of what these people have planned.

If the restraints are ever taken off these people, they’re going to kill us. There is going to be mass slaughter of Christians; that’s what these people desire.

You know, I generally had a positive view of Christianity until I started listening to Christians like Wiles.

And that’s a big beef with me. A lot of the people who represent Christianity in media and television do a crappy job of it. I don’t blame people for wanting nothing to do with it after seeing some of that garbage.

Used to happen to my parents all the time. Two old people don’t put much strain on a sewer line, even one choked with roots. But let 25 people descend on the house all at once, with their showers and peeing and pooping, and it gets real.

Any pro-life movement could not help itself from spreading resources and support into our immigrant communities, looking for the solution that most compassionately addresses the deep pain being experienced by those looking for a better and more dignified life.

Projection. Again. Wiles et al. really, really want to lead pogroms and inquisitions.

20 lawhawk  Thu, Jul 18, 2013 1:19:03pm

Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis demand an investigation in to who leaked the plot from Ghostbusters 3.

Seriously though, I get the allegory and allusions. He really thinks that the folks who were opposed to the TRAP laws in Texas (and their message) are Satanic Sewage.

Let that sink in.

But he’s seriously confused about Jesus Christ, God and loving their fellow man (and woman) if he thinks that his call to arms is within the meaning of loving their fellow humans. Then again, he’s into the dehumanization of his opponents, so he and his followers will feel free to do with them as they see fit.

Lovely stuff.

And it will not end up in a good place for anyone.

Those who hold Humans above animals (made in the image of G-d mindthink) seem to think Humans without leashes will behave like animals.

It’s all so confusing.

Not even on my radar list. Not even in the top 10,000 things. But these folks have a persecution complex so deep and distorted that any perceived slight is considered persecution - up to and including being reminded of the separation of church and state, and that there are no religious tests for higher office, etc.

If there is one thing we know about it in these enlightened modern times, it is the mechanics of genocide. You can’t slaughter millions of Christians (or anyone else for that matter) with pistols, even fearsome black semi-auto types. At the very least they are not the optimum choice. If DHS were laying in huge supplies of, say, poison gas, even I would be alarmed.

In fact, this need to feel in control is so overwhelming for some abusive men that they will actually force women to get pregnant and then try to force them to abort. In a 2010 piece for The Nation on reproductive coercion, Lynn Harris told the story of a young woman in an abusive relationship whose boyfriend-captor would hide her birth control pills. When she inevitably got pregnant, he tried to beat her into submitting to an abortion. When she refused, he kicked her in the stomach and even pushed her down the stairs in an attempt to induce a miscarriage. Despite the abuse, the woman remained pregnant, and she eventually escaped the relationship with her young son.

Fun chili factoid: In 1993, the Illinois state legislature adopted a resolution proclaiming Springfield the “Chilli Capital of the Civilized World.” And said resolution proclaimed that the official spelling was to be “chilli” with two Ls. Per Wiki: “The unique spelling is said to have begun with the founder of the Den Chilli Parlor in 1909, due to a spelling error in its sign.”
I remember when the legislature did that, but I spent my teens and early 20s in Cincinnati, home of Skyline Chili. I refuse alternative spellings…

Here are my thoughts, condensed:

You want to be a real Christian?
You want to represent Jesus?
You really want to LIVE OUT what the Bible says?

Then here’s what you need to do:

- Spend some time every month volunteering at a homeless shelter
- Regularly donate food, clothes, toiletries, etc. to reputable charities or churches
- Pick up someone’s restaurant bill every now and then. Don’t announce it, just quietly approach the server and do it. Let the good deed be its own reward.
- Ask your friends or neighbors if there is anything you can help them with and see through whatever they request (within reason)
- Tell the people you really care about how much you love them every chance you get, you never know when the last one will come.
- Pray for those who are worse off than you are
- Be thankful for what you HAVE instead of obsessed with what you WANT
- Next time you go to a gas station, offer $20 to help someone fill their tank.

I guarantee you any of these things will get you 100X farther than any satanic rambling ever could.

Objective statement of fact: waffle fries are the pinnacle of potato products for construction of nacho-like conglomerations. The large surface area and interstitial holes allows for superior adhesion and inter-connectivity of the bonding agent, much like a loose glass cloth produces a fiberglass product of superior strength and rigidity.

Reposted from downstairs…

How do adults listen to horseshit of this magnitude and not laugh themselves sick?

It’s often said, “think of how stupid the average American is, now bear in mind that half of them are worse than that”. And I try not to think about it, but every so often something like this comes along and forces me to face that fact. People take this guy seriously. There are adult humans, with all the same rights and privileges and responsibilities as I have, that actually believe this man as telling the literal truth, rather than seeing him as a sad clown going through a pathetic routine.

About…. oh, ten years or so ago I went on a trip with my good childhood friend to Utah; we were going out to spend two weeks with his dad’s side of the family. I hadn’t been warned beforehand, but these folks were hardcore baptists. We went to one of their church services, in this tiny little one-room roadside church, with a congregation consisting of his dad’s family near and extended, a couple of neighbor families, and his grandfather as the preacher.

They had a section of their service where we read some random part of the bible, I forget which, and then had a big ‘share what I think this passage means’ session. By the end of it, when I’d said my piece, I got a lot of approving nods and people commenting on how insightful it was.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I was an atheist that had been bullshitting them for the past 15 minutes.

John McCain haz a hissy fit…


Senior GOP senator puts hold on Dempsey nomination

Sen. John McCain of Arizona pressed Dempsey during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee to provide his personal opinion on which approach in Syria carries greater risk for U.S. national security interests: continued limited action on the part of Washington, or more significant steps such as establishment of a no-fly zone and arming rebel forces with the weapons they need to stem the advance of President Bashir Assad’s forces.

Dempsey said that he has provided President Barack Obama with options for the use of military force in Syria. But he declined to detail those choices, saying that “it would be inappropriate for me to try to influence the decision with me rendering an opinion in public about what kind of force we should use.”

During a testy exchange with McCain, the general added that he would “let this committee know what my recommendations are at the appropriate time.”

Dempsey’s response, McCain said, contradicted his commitment to provide the committee with his personal views, even if those opinions differ from the administration in power.

McCain told reporters after leaving the hearing room that he planned to put a hold on the nomination, essentially blocking any further Senate action until he gets an adequate response from Dempsey.

“I want to see him answer the question,” McCain said. “Hello!”

Fun chili factoid: In 1993, the Illinois state legislature adopted a resolution proclaiming Springfield the “Chilli Capital of the Civilized World.” And said resolution proclaimed that the official spelling was to be “chilli” with two Ls. Per Wiki: “The unique spelling is said to have begun with the founder of the Den Chilli Parlor in 1909, due to a spelling error in its sign.”
I remember when the legislature did that, but I spent my teens and early 20s in Cincinnati, home of Skyline Chili. I refuse alternative spellings…

In New Mexico it’s chile, which refers to both the fruit of the chile plant and the dish made with chiles and meat. NO BEANS.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I was an atheist that had been bullshitting them for the past 15 minutes.

I had almost exactly the same moment in 8th or 9th grade, except it happened during a Catholic youth group meeting when I was still going to CCE classes at church.

It was normal during these meetings for the youth pastor to read a passage and talk about it and then ask us for our impressions on what he’d talked about. To make it fair, he’d call on people at random to get more voices heard. One night he called on me. I can’t remember what the hell he’d asked me about, but I launched into an answer.

After the meeting ended, the youth pastor was talking with the parish priest and some of other adults. He called me over and thanked me for being so sincere and offering such a great response. I couldn’t tell him that I’d basically pulled the answer out of my ass and just made it sound like something that I thought he and the other adults would want to hear.

I was never so relieved as I was when I finally stopped going to church. Spending all those years lying to people and pretending I believed the same things was extremely difficult.

Hi all. I’ve been a long-time reader since finding a link to this site sometime in 2009.

I was reading some local Ohio news about the Rifqa Bary controversy in the Columbus Dispatch and saw a mention of Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. At that time I didn’t know who they were and a Google search to learn about them lead me to here.

Anyway, I’m glad to be aboard even though I may not post much.

Now a bit on topic, but late to the game.

Charles in #8 asked about demons in the bushes. I was going to point out we just had a demon in the bushes demonstration in Florida did we not?

And, as far as this hell business, is hell as what most people think of it commonly even mentioned in the Bible? I’m no scholar of religion, but there is no use of the word hell is there? There may be ‘hellish’ concepts, words like darkness and void and such, but no description of hell as a modern fundamentalist would understand it.

I am also under the impression that hell was man created by some of the early Catholic popes and a big credit has to go to Dante’s Divine Comedy. Also many early paintings started to portray the hell as known today.

So, what the hell is this nut even talking about?

Of course, I don’t think Jesus was a long-haired, dark blonde central European with blue eyes. Even if every image I have seen since a kid tries to tell me so.

I always thought he would look more, I don’t know, Jewish. And then they did that historical facial reconstruction and If I remember that image came out looking a bit like Anwar Sadat. Or, an older Obama.

Full-on religious based education and I know less about religion every day!

So I’m one of those people who always forgets to lock my door. My upstairs neighbor just staggered in, under the impression he was at his floor. The poor dude (he’s like 60) was drenched in sweat, and making no sense at all. I led him to a chair, he resisted at first (I found out later he thought he was in his apartment and I was… well, he didn’t really know) but sat down. I got him some water and some Gatorade and something cool to put on his neck.

After about five minutes he started making some sense. He scared the hell out of me, I thought he was dying on me, but he didn’t want an ambulance. But he got more coherent the more water he drank. Eventually we had a small conversation about chess, and UFOs— he used to edit a UFO journal, and he calls UFOology all ‘harmless fun’ and ‘boy I wish they’d come get me’— and he petted my cats and eventually climbed the last flight up. This heat is goddamn killer. I made sure his apartment has AC before I let him go, too.

The thing is, when he opened the door at first, the poor guy was so tired and out of it he opened it horror-movie style. He slowly, slowly pushed it open, so slowly I didn’t notice it at first, and then when I did, I got increasingly…. “Hello? Hello? Hello? What the fuck? Who the… fuck!” I’m glad I didn’t succumb to the urge to charge the door with my shoulder. Weirdly scary stuff.

Without this feeling that we’re in a crisis, the small-government crowd, the pro-business crowd, and the Christian theocracy crowd would separate from one another very quickly.

re: #150 ObserverArt

And, as far as this hell business, is hell as what most people think of it commonly even mentioned in the Bible? I’m no scholar of religion, but there is no use of the word hell is there? There may be ‘hellish’ concepts, words like darkness and void and such, but no description of hell as a modern fundamentalist would understand it.

As I recall, there’s some section that modern English translations have as “wailing and gnashing of teeth” or something. I don’t know what it was in the original… Greek, or whatever.

Nothing more specific than that.

re: #159 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

So I’m one of those people who always forgets to lock my door. My upstairs neighbor just staggered in, under the impression he was at his floor. The poor dude (he’s like 60) was drenched in sweat, and making no sense at all. I led him to a chair, he resisted at first (I found out later he thought he was in his apartment and I was… well, he didn’t really know) but sat down. I got him some water and some Gatorade and something cool to put on his neck.

After about five minutes he started making some sense. He scared the hell out of me, I thought he was dying on me, but he didn’t want an ambulance. But he got more coherent the more water he drank. Eventually we had a small conversation about chess, and UFOs— he used to edit a UFO journal, and he calls UFOology all ‘harmless fun’ and ‘boy I wish they’d come get me’— and he petted my cats and eventually climbed the last flight up. This heat is goddamn killer. I made sure his apartment has AC before I let him go, too.

The thing is, when he opened the door at first, the poor guy was so tired and out of it he opened it horror-movie style. He slowly, slowly pushed it open, so slowly I didn’t notice it at first, and then when I did, I got increasingly…. “Hello? Hello? Hello? What the fuck? Who the… fuck!” I’m glad I didn’t succumb to the urge to charge the shoulder with my door. Weirdly scary stuff.

No, it was the heat. As soon as he cooled down and hydrated he started talking rationally. I know what diabetics are like, and this was just being massively overheated. He said he’d been to the hospital with heatstroke earlier in the week, too.

It’s just terribly hot, and the old and the infirm (he’s jaundiced and rake-thin) are really suffering. Just glad he has AC.

No, this is why fucktard needs to go.

The franchise is halfway through its 30-year agreement to play in St. Pete’s Tropicana Field, but owner Stuart Sternberg has been begging for new digs for years. That hasn’t been easy to come by because St. Petersburg neither wants to hand over a large sum of money nor wants to lose the Rays to nearby Tampa or anywhere else. Selig’s patience is wearing thin.

“There’s no question there’s a stadium problem,” Selig said Wednesday, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “There’s no debate about it. The question is what to do about it and when to do it and where, and those are conversations Mr. Sternberg and I will have.”

The bad news for both the Rays and St. Petersburg, though, is that blaming attendance woes on a “stadium problem” is exactly what Selig did in Miami just six years ago, when the Florida Marlins were looking to a new stadium to fix their sluggish attendance.

what really saddens me about this kind of grandstanding from the Woolly Pulpit is that it can cause us all to paint with the broad brushes again… for example, I have a friend from HS who personifies what I used to think of as Christian. He works with his local church, fund raises for those less fortunate and is currently away on a mission building low cost housing for the poor in Peru. I know that there are quite a few folks like him out there and yet these asshats are the ones bearing the mantle of having the presumption of speaking for God (not that I think there is one, but hey ymmv).

Wish that folks like my friend would speak up and speak out more frequently but they’re busy being out there doing good deeds rather than basking in the media attention. I have no real use for the organized religion crowd as a rule, I just loathe those that have chosen to politicize themselves.

There’s a book I read not long ago called “Bad Sports” about how Owners are screwing players, fans and everyone else who loves the game.

A major theme of the book is about how millionaire and billionaire owners will swindle municipalities out of millions of dollars of taxpayer money for new stadiums under threat of moving the team if they don’t get new digs.

This is part of the reason why the Seattle Supersonics don’t exist today. Seattle wanted to update Key Arena rather than build a whole new stadium so the midwest based owners moved the team to Oklahoma City.

KUDOS DUDE! He was lucky in many ways. Your kindness of course, and then a second episode in a week? People do wind up in the hospital or worse when that happens.

After you’ve recovered from heat exhaustion, you’ll probably be more sensitive to high temperatures during the following week. So it’s best to avoid hot weather and heavy exercise until your doctor tells you that it’s safe to resume your normal activities.

American Taxpayers Paid $10 Billion More For Sports Stadiums Than Forecast

Taxpayer-financed sports stadiums and arenas cost $10 billion more in 2010 than cities and states originally forecast for the projects, and the overall cost of land, infrastructure, and maintenance is far higher than what the sports industry typically reports, according to a new study from Harvard urban planning professor Judith Grant Long:

The costs of land, infrastructure, operations and lost property taxes add 25 percent to the taxpayer bill for the 121 sports facilities in use during 2010, increasing the average public cost by $89 million to $259 million, up from $170 million commonly reported by the sports industry and media, she writes in the book “Public/Private Partnerships for Major League Sports Facilities.” […]

Long’s analysis added costs such as those for land, infrastructure and lost tax revenue, while subtracting money that flows back to states or cities from revenue or rent payments.

According to Long, three of the 121 sports stadiums and arenas have costs that now exceed 100 percent of their original building price: Lucas Oil Field, home of the Indianapolis Colts, Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, and Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. In Cincinnati, public financing of Paul Brown Stadium forced the city to sell off a local hospital to finance its debt.

You want to shell out money so you can watch grown men play playground games, go ahead. Don’t ask me to pay for it with tax dollars.

I still resent Palin for fermenting that shit. The Republicans were divisive before her of course but she gave a whole new meaning to that word when she would go to more rural areas on behalf of the McCain campaign and talk about how “that was real America.” Rural conservatives are always bitching about urban elitism towards them but frankly most of the elitism and condescending bs I’ve seen has come from rural conservatives who are convinced they’re better than urbanites because rural America is “real America” and urban America somehow isn’t. Funny that since urban America is a more accurate representation of who we are as a people.

That shit was always there. She just capitalized on it. It’s her superpower, if you will. She can’t govern, she can’t write, she can barely talk. But she knows how to tap into the persecution complex of the Right better than pretty much anyone else. That’s why they love her.

Rand Paul’s neo-Confederate staffer sought mass deletion of his own columns

Jack Hunter, a top aide to Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), allegedly tried to have dozens of his own columns removed from the Internet.

According to an editor at the Charleston City Paper, Hunter asked for his own columns to be deleted because they “no longer reflected his current worldview.” Editor Chris Haire said he would have considered removing a few questionable columns, but Hunter was seeking to have a “cowardly” amount of his writing removed.

“It was solely for appearances only,” Haire said. “It was not heartfelt. It was not true. It was simply to protect his boss, Rand Paul, as he plots a path to the White House in 2016.”

Hi, everybody.

Every year around this time, American car companies start rolling out their newest, shiniest models, hoping to entice you into buying one. It’s Detroit’s chance to show you what they’ve been working on - the latest and greatest. And this year is no exception. They’ve got some pretty good-looking cars coming out.

But something is different this time around - and it starts with the auto companies themselves.

Just a few years ago, the auto industry wasn’t just struggling - it was flatlining. GM and Chrysler were on the verge of collapse. Suppliers and distributors were at risk of going under. More than a million jobs across the country were on the line - and not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers, small business owners, and everyone in communities that depend on this great American industry.

But we refused to throw in the towel and do nothing. We refused to let Detroit go bankrupt. We bet on American workers and American ingenuity, and three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way.

Today, auto sales are the highest they’ve been in more than four years. GM is back. Ford and Chrysler are growing again. Together, our auto industry has created nearly a quarter of a million new jobs right here in America.

And we’re not just making more cars and trucks - we’re making better ones.

After 30 years of inaction, we raised fuel standards so that by the middle of the next decade, cars and light trucks will average almost 55 miles per gallon - nearly double what they get today. That means you’ll only have to fill up every two weeks instead of every week. It’s good for your wallet, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for the environment.

The technology that makes it happen will also help America stay on the cutting edge for decades to come. Just this week, GM announced they plan to hire 1,500 workers for a new research center in Michigan to help make sure the high-tech cars of tomorrow are designed and built right here in America.

I’ve also signed new bipartisan trade agreements into law, because I want to see more cars on the road in places like South Korea imported from Detroit and Toledo and Chicago.

All of this is something the American people can and should be proud of. It’s a reminder that when the American people put their mind to something, there’s nothing we can’t do.

So next time you see one of those brand new 2013 models on TV or on the lot, think about how far we’ve come together. Think about how - thanks to the hard work and can-do spirit of the American people - more of those cars and trucks are being manufactured by American workers at American companies in communities all across the country. And they’re going to save you more money at the pump.

That’s what America is all about. When we get knocked down, we get back up. We come back stronger. And as long as I’m President, that’s what we’ll keep doing.

Thanks, and have a great weekend.

re: #79 Backwoods_Sleuth

Fun chili factoid: In 1993, the Illinois state legislature adopted a resolution proclaiming Springfield the “Chilli Capital of the Civilized World.” And said resolution proclaimed that the official spelling was to be “chilli” with two Ls. Per Wiki: “The unique spelling is said to have begun with the founder of the Den Chilli Parlor in 1909, due to a spelling error in its sign.”
I remember when the legislature did that, but I spent my teens and early 20s in Cincinnati, home of Skyline Chili. I refuse alternative spellings…

How do you feel about this?

Apparently that’s just the way it’s spelled in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Hypnotic vaginal powers sound like a really good sekrit weapon that special ops would love to have…

What’s raw satanic sewage?

It actually took me a while to realize he was speaking of people. I was in Austin last week and was thinking they must have done a really good job cleaning up the sewage crisis. I mean, it was like 104 degrees and humid and I didn’t smell anything at all…

But this dude is using this language to describe peaceful protestors. Wow.

So, once again, the military has a problem with a group, not because of how that group performs, but because of how they fear straight men will perform in their presence.

We need to keep straight men out of the military.

Want a second opinion. No American ex-president is going to say we “have no functioning Democracy” unless he’s in deep senility.

re: #309 Kid A

Aside from the dogwhistle answer Hoft is inviting, 1, 2, and 3 are industrial centers that are part of large metro areas, and 4, 5, and 6 are university towns somewhat separate from large metro areas. So, one could argue that having thriving institutes of higher education promotes thriving (small) urban economies and a better quality of life, and/or being reliant on a single industry is bad, and/or being a lower-cost suburb of a large city means you get the short end of the economic stick.

Such an answer would require deeper analytical powers than Jim Hoft possesses.

Years ago, National Lampoon had a fake WWII poster, “Loose tits sink ships,” showing an enemy sailor with his hand inside a busty WAVE’s blouse.

It was intended as a joke. Some seem to have taken it as an operations manual for special ops.
