This is Ray "Banana Man" Comfort's latest little trick Shucks, it's a tract printed on Tyvek(tm) or some similar tear-resistant material. So, poor ol' Ray has to depend on modern science to try to pretend that there is something magical happening. Funny how a pair of scissors or a nice knife can overwhelm this sad … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hmmm, God or Tyvek(tm)

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.
Vermin-in-Chief Ray Comfort, the fellow who tried to get atheists to take his book by giving out food gift certificates and was shamed in to giving said certificates to people who need food (still $7,000 unaccounted for), wants to tell his followers to tell the Jewish people that they are so very “angry” about the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – three different Christians and questions answered
I’ve encountered a few very different Christians recently. We have Dave, a pastor, who believes in diversity, but also believes that Christianity supports violence as long as they benefit; Rina who says that she must take everything in the bible literally because if you don’t, what is to stop you from finding a resurrected dead … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – three different Christians and questions answered
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today
This is what happens when you don’t punch Nazis. Rather than putting up the usual pictures of pits full of starved, shot and tortured people. I thought this was more fitting. The people who were murdered in concentration camps were being harvested. This is what those who support America First wanted to allow to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today
Today there is a “march for life” in Washington, DC. There are a lot of women there, who insist that they are feminists. There may be some men who also would claim this, since being a feminist isn’t limited by sex. They all declare that they are “for life”, aka against abortion and birth control. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…
It is no surprise that Trump is having a tantrum over the fact that it was noted that the audience for his inauguration was quite a bit smaller than other inaugurations. He was so taken aback that the truth was told that he dishonored men and women who have died in service to this country … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince
We’re deep in it now. The sad little orange man has been inaugurated thanks to the ignorant and fearful and greedy who have sold their honor and responsibility for false promises. Update: The women's march is doing quite well. Poor Donnie, he doesn't react well to reality. What will TwitterFuhrer do? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/womens-march.htm ( I don't know … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the lying lips of a prince
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – fundamentalist white rural America
White, rural fundamentalist America is where I grew up. This article on Raw Story (which seems to have come from Alter Net) gets it very much right. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/11/the-dark-rigidity-of-fundamentalist-rural-america-a-view-from-the-inside/ "When you have a belief system that is built on fundamentalism, it isn’t open to outside criticism, especially by anyone not a member of your tribe and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – fundamentalist white rural America
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – screw your courage to the sticking place!
The goats won, barely. And it is a reason to be angry. However, it is also reason to be resolved, because it won’t last long. In six months, half of those who voted for Trump will have buyer’s remorse; indeed Trump will have it himself when he realizes that being president isn’t being dictator. He … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – screw your courage to the sticking place!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When you aren’t getting all of the story
I’ve been thinking about how people often don’t get the whole story. They can do this by willfully ignoring information, trusting unwisely, or by simple laziness. This election is full of all of these, perhaps most blatantly shown in the idiocy of people here in PA buying more and more guns, because, you of course … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When you aren’t getting all of the story
