I think the actual sound of heads exploding will come when the 10% of conservatives who think Obama is actually Muslim see on TV that he actually lays his hand on a Bible to be sworn in as President.

I want a big fat closeup of that to send back to all those people who forwarded that falsehood around the internet. Of course they will say the bible was photoshopped but still . . . . .

Ooooh. They must REALLY hate Powell now.

Colin Powell Lashes Out at Rush Limbaugh

Thursday, December 11, 2008 10:06 PM

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell blames Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio for Republican electoral woes in a CNN interview to be broadcast this weekend.

"Can we continue to listen to Rush Limbaugh?" Powell said, according to a transcript of the interview on the “Fareed Zakaria GPS” show CNN released.

"Is this really the kind of party that we want to be when these kinds of spokespersons seem to appeal to our lesser instincts rather than our better instincts?" Powell said.

Powell told Zakaria that he still considers himself a Republican but said his party should quit listening to Limbaugh for advice. Instead, it needs to look more to minority groups if it wants to win elections in the 21st century.

The week before the presidential election, Powell crossed party lines to endorse Barack Obama during an appearance on NBC’s "Meet the Press."

During the appearance, Powell, the first African-American to hold the secretary of state position, made it clear that race had not played a role in his decision to back Obama. His support, he said, arose from Obama's "ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America."

Ironically, conservatives like Limbaugh had strongly opposed John McCain during his presidential campaign, while Powell donated $2,300 to McCain during his primary effort.

"I think the party has to stop shouting at the world and at the country," Powell said. "I think that the party has to take a hard look at itself, and I've talked to a number of leaders in recent weeks and they understand that."

"There is nothing wrong with being conservative. There is nothing wrong with having socially conservative views — I don't object to that,” Powell said in the interview, which was taped Wednesday. “But if the party wants to have a future in this country, it has to face some realities. In another 20 years, the majority in this country will be the minority."

It's that whole using his brain thing. Gets in the way sometimes.

I am so torn about this. Do you think it is better to abort or raise a child Godless? Of course not just ANY God.

Send it to one those couples who wants to adopt a heathen. I hear that's a big trend.

Completely off-topic, not that we're ever off topic here, but my good mom friend just called me singing that old Robert Palmer song "I didn't mean to turn you on" and now I can't stop singing it.

It's going to be a long day

Worst song ever.

Well, after the Pina Colada song.

 

[crazyforgoofy]

Pouring gasoline on a fire today, are we?

Where was it?

Arghhhhh. That damned Pina Colada song drive me insane. Why, oh why, did you mention it?

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain."

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.

Darn! Now I'm onto this one. The Robert Palmer one was almost better, if only for the cheesyness factor.

I am confused because it was stated that to offer an egg donation to the childless for IVF, who may then not raise ithat potential child to be a good Christian, could be against God's will. Then, if so, would God then be offended if a person aborted an embryo destined to be a heathen? Or are only abortions of Christians embryo's murder?

So this person wants to be an egg donor? Because they have pretty stringent requirements: Young (generally under 28, although some clinics are less strict), educated, healthy (no previous miscarriages or infertility issues), no history of mental illness (including the use of anti-depressants) and let's face it, reasonably attractive. Also, I don't think the donor gets a choice in who their eggs go to. At least that's how my lesbian wiccan friend described it when she used an egg donor.
