The Modern Republican

Posted by Tengrain Friday, December 21st, 2012

I would think that this is from The Onion, except the fine line between comedy and tragedy is erased:

Randolph Linn, 52, accepted a plea deal in which he pled guilty to all charges in connection to setting a fire in the prayer room at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo on Sept. 30. Under the deal, Linn is expected to serve 20 years in prison instead of 40.

Linn explained to the court that he had gotten “riled up” after watching Fox News.

“And I was more sad when Judge [Jack] Zouhary asked him that, ‘Do you know any Muslims or do you know what Islam is?’” one mosque member who attended the hearing recalled to WNWO. “And he said, ‘No, I only know what I hear on Fox News and what I hear on radio.’”

“Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up,” Linn also reportedly told the judge. “Most Muslims are terrorists and don’t believe in Jesus Christ.”

Traitor Joe Speaks!

Posted by Tengrain Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Quisling turd and holier-than-thou Senator Joe Lieberman is quite angry with Kenyan Usurper Hawaiian Devil Baby Barack Obama. It seems that Traitor Joe wants to call a spade a spade, ahem:

“The administration still refuses to call our enemy in this war by its proper name: violent Islamist extremism.”

Did you know, anytime you say violent Islamist extremism AIPac gives Traitor Joe a buck?

In Newtie’s own words:

Posted by Tengrain Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

I have two grandchildren – Maggie is 11, Robert is 9. I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they’re my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.

– Little Newtie

Atheist muslims? What?

Pull John Bolton’s string…

Posted by Tengrain Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Bolton-has-a-woody

…and he says he wants to bomb Iran.

Anyway, not wanting to waste any time (or a good crisis), Bolton says that the thing to do with Egypt in revolt is to bomb Iran:

HANNITY: Do you think that the Israelis are going to have to strike — they are going to have to take action. … As you pointed out, El Baradei, you know, ran cover for the Iranians for all those years that he was with the IAEA. And, I just don’t think the Israelis have much longer to wait…they’re going to have to act in fairly short order.

BOLTON: I think that’s right. I don’t think there’s much time to act. And I think the fall of a Egyptian government committed to the peace agreement will almost certainly speed that timetable up.

Bombing Iran always gives Bolton a Woodie.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

Sharron Angle and Sharia: Oops

Posted by Tengrain Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Hahahaha, nothing gets past Sharron Angle, she has a mind like a bear trap. Literally.

Remember last week when Sharron Angle, the Teabagger from Nevada and religious whackjob said that two cities in the country already operated under Sharia Law? Me neither!

We’re talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe isn’t a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it,” Angle said according to audio of the rally obtained by the Washington post. “My thoughts are these. First of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas, are on American soil, and under Constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don’t know how that happened in the United States.

Anyway, some noob at CNN decided to investigate the claim that Dearborn, Michigan and Frankford, Texas are under Sharia law, the sacred law of Islam. Guess what they found?

Frankford Texas doesn’t exist, and the Mayor of Dearborn is pissed off.

Eat it, Pammygram

Posted by Tengrain Monday, September 13th, 2010

The NYTimes tells us that there was a Mosque in the South Tower that was destroyed in the September 11 tragedy:

Sometime in 1999, a construction electrician received a new work assignment from his union. The man, Sinclair Hejazi Abdus-Salaam, was told to report to 2 World Trade Center, the southern of the twin towers…

Over the next few days, noticing some fellow Muslims on the job, Mr. Abdus-Salaam voiced an equally essential question: “So where do you pray at?” And so he learned about the Muslim prayer room on the 17th floor of the south tower.

He went there regularly in the months to come, first doing the ablution known as wudu in a washroom fitted for cleansing hands, face and feet, and then facing toward Mecca to intone the salat prayer.

But that doesn’t fit in Pammy’s hate-fueled narrative, so she conveniently ignores it, as does the rest of the GOP. Bet me this: if they ever do acknowledge it, they’ll say that those Muslims were also jihadists.

The Most Dangerous Nut in the World (today)

Posted by Tengrain Thursday, September 9th, 2010

“Although there are currently no specific details as to what forms of terror attacks would follow, what is clear is if the Koran burning goes ahead as planned, there will be tragic consequences, ones which may well claim the lives of many innocent people,” Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said in a press release.

Jeebus, some half-baked cracker from Florida, with a parish of about half a dozen of his sister-cousins, is now such a gaddam media star that Interpol says that they will raise the Terror Threat Level if he burns a Koran on Saturday.

And that, Scissorheads, is how the Mainstream Media and our lame-ass Wingnuts (Newtie, Mooselini, and Pammygram) takes a small story, grinds on it for a while, magnifies it, embellishes it, and then makes a circus out of something that if they had left it alone would have blown over in obscurity.

In 3… 2… 1… Fred Phelp’s church says that pastor Terry Jones is a pussy, and they are miffed that they haven’t gotten an Interpol alert for their Koran-burning ways:

Westboro, for whatever it’s worth, doesn’t feel the same way about Jones. Shirley Phelps Roper, a leader of the church, told the Kansas City Star this week that Koran-burning is old hat, something her church did “a long time before this guy.” Besides, she said, he won’t go through with it.

So there you have it: Right wing media and Wingnuts whipping racism and other-ism into a frothy brew to influence the simple to do outrageous acts that agitate fundamentalists world wide to maybe commit heinous acts against us.

Xristian Xrazies Today

Posted by Tengrain Sunday, September 5th, 2010
NY Daily News – love the Toni home perm on the Easter-egg yellow hair, Pastor Bill.

Muslims are going to hell, we need to save them,”

– pastor Bill Keller

…to a crowd of about 40 people at the New York Marriott Downtown, which overlooks Ground Zero.

In case you do not know Pastor Bill, he’s the Xristian Xrazie from Florida who wants to put in a Xristian Center at the so-called Ground Zero Mollusk. Anyway, his sure-fired way to draw in support seems to have drawn in only a thimbleful of nutters.

Some kids will do anything to get out of school

Posted by Tengrain Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Meet the NY 5, who kinda-sorta hate-attacked an upstate NY Mosque:

Five teenagers have been arrested for disrupting religious services at a mosque in upstate New York after allegedly driving by the mosque during Ramadan services, honking their horns and firing a shotgun.

After they left, several members of the mosque got into their cars and drove to a boat dock on nearby Lake Ontario looking for them. They found the teens and cornered them for half an hour until police arrived to arrest them.

Four have been released until a court date later this week, according to the sheriff’s department. The fifth, charged with a felony, is being held on $10,000 bond. Their names are Mark Vendetti and Tim Weader, 17, and Dylan Phillips, Jeff Donahue and Anthony Ogden, 18. Vendetti is accused of firing the shotgun.

The D.A., Joseph Cardone, said the teenagers admitted to being at the mosque and to firing the gun. Their explanation for the shot, he said, was that they were scared when they saw mosque members coming outside.

“I don’t know what sense that makes,” he said. “They’re the ones who drove to this location.”

Gee, where do kids learn to behave like that?

Rudy G, in his own words

Posted by Tengrain Saturday, August 21st, 2010

The question here is of sensitivity, of people’s feelings, and are you really what you pretend to be … If you want to claim to be the healer, then you’re not on the side of the person who’s pushing those divisive issues.
I was the first person on September 11 to step forward in the heat of battle and say, ‘No group blame, do not blame Arabs, it’s a small group.’ But the reality is that, right now, if you are a healer you do not go through with this project. If you’re a warrior, you do.

So… on the bright side, Rudy gets to say 9-11 for a few more weeks. But as the article in Esquire says, “Tell the Big Lie. Tell it about a minority. Tell it often — and the right has been, ever since Palin’s “peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate” tweet — and thereby drive a nation to refudiate its founding political principles for your private political gain.”

Karen Huge speaks: move the F@$ing Mosque

Posted by Tengrain Saturday, August 21st, 2010

“Osama bin Laden wants to portray our efforts against terrorism as the West vs. Islam; we must work hard to portray them as civilized people of many faiths vs. a death cult. That’s why I believe it is so important that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his congregation make what I fully understand would be a very difficult choice: to locate their mosque elsewhere. Putting the mosque at a different site would demonstrate the uncommon courtesy sometimes required for us to get along in our free and diverse society.”

Karen Huge was Chimpy’s undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs from 2005 to 2007.
