If you want to know one big reason why Democrats keep losing elections, this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Alaska Airlines now giving out prayers with dinner,” explains why. The funny thing is that the prayer the DUmmie was crybabying about was on PRIVATE property so they had every right to hand out prayers if they wanted to. The next step in the DUmmie Universe will be to ban Gideon Bibles from hotel rooms. Let us read on now about how the DUmmies are continuing to commit electoral suicide. As usual the outraged DUmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent is in the [brackets]:
Alaska Airlines now giving out prayers with dinner. My partner flew to and from Chicago yesterday. With his dinner he received a little card with the Alaska Airline logo, a landscape and the following:
Give thanks to the Lord,
for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1
I'm so disgusted I'm beside myself.
[GASP! The absolute NERVE! And when you find that Gideon Bible in your hotel room you probably have to throw up in the toilet in disgust.]
I'm a frequent flyer on Alaska so I've seen them for years. I usually just turn it upside down.
[Avert your eyes! AVERT YOUR EYES!!!]
I thought they were blue! What a way to alienate your major customer base. They need some serious complaint letters clogging their mailboxes.
[“Dear Alaska Airlines---I am absolutely DISGUSTED by the fact that you hand out comforting prayers. Please replace them with Astrological Predictions or you will turn off your DUmmie Base.”]
There is nothing at all wrong with what they are doing. It isn't forced at all and for some it is very comforting. There are more people in america that believe in God than there are ones that do not. If the Government did this there would be room for complaint. Flying this day and time is very stressful for most. A prayer can be very welcome by some.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
Would you like it if they had Muslim or Buddhist or any other religion's doctrine handed out to people?
[Actually most DUmmies WOULD like that.]
The government should do something about this and put a stop to it. If it does not, it is pandering to a religion through omission.
[Which constitutional amendment forbids pandering to a religion through omission?]
They're not providing blessings for every Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian or other flavor out there. THAT is why this is offensive.
[I say not allowing a goat to be sacrificed on a Zoroastrian altar aboard the flight is DISCRIMINATORY!!!]
It sure as HELL is not an invocation of The Goddess. I find anything associated with the WAR GOD, Yahweh, offensive!
[The Goddess HATES the Evil War Monkey King.]
IF this is true, then perhaps they can print up the following prayer that I say on flights and pass them out:.
Hermes, hear my plea.
See us safely there,
And safely back again.
This is my will,
So mote it be.
[Is that Hermes or Herpes that you are praying to?]
I also ask that Isis, with Her strong wings bear me safely to my destination.
[How about Wonder Woman? Do you pray to her as well?]
Would love to see some story in the news on this.
[Me too! It will ensure that the DUmmiecrats LOSE the next election.]
An archaic form of "might" -- New Agers are particularly given to dredging up archaic forms -- that fake Wiccan stuff is full of them as I recall, but my memory is hazy as to details since I never paid much attention.
They seem to think using old forms gives their stuff the legitimacy of actual tradition.
Now that you're famous, you're not going to forget those of us who knew you when, I hope! ;-)
I would have gotten off the plane. not because I was offended (by any means), but because alaska airlines doesn't sound very confident about getting me there in one piece.
I wonder what these people do with the rememberance cards that are provided at a loved one's funeral. The cards almost always include a little prayer. I suppose they just hide their disgust and throw them away later.
PJ, I haven't missed a DUFU since right before you added me to the Ping List!
Like franksolich though, I can only go back so far. Will try to Google them next!
One that really had me ROTFLOL was this one:
DUmmie FUnnies 10-26-04 (DUmmie Promises to LEAVE the USA)
In it, DUmmie sh0rtbus said in part: I have been planning to leave the United States since before the 2000 election. I plan to leave still, even if Kerry is elected. It is not an easy task to emigrate legally, but I am working hard at it. There are many reasons for this, but cowardice is not one. Here are some of the highlights: 1. My partner is Arab-American. Not only do I not want to see her "disappeared";... Yada yada. 2. I am a scholar and an artist. I can't walk two steps in this country without being denigrated for my chosen work and identity... Yada yada. 3. American architecture has become ugly, most of the entertainment is insipid, and the food absolutely hideous.... Yada yada. 4. I don't like sports, and I don't feel I should be stigmatized for this in employment and social situations.
PJ - [I don’t care if you rode a trolley car on 9/13/01 as long as you LEAVE!!! I will be monitoring you, sh0rtbus, to see if you will leave as promised or if you are just a BS artist, all talk and no action. I think you will just continue blabbing away endlessly about wanting to leave the country but the end result is you won’t LEAVE. So please prove me wrong and LEAVE! I beg you to friggin’ LEAVE!!!!!!!]
So, has sh0rtbus left the country or is he still crying on his art work?
ROFLMAO! Good one. :-)
I'm suprised they know enough about dead white European mythology to realize Hermes was the Greek god of, among other things, transportation.
She can't be a DUmmie. She's too cute.
Hey, thanks for explaining this... just when I thought they could not get any more ridiculous....
Welcome aboard, PINGEE #611.
True. Wikipedia was biased in their description of the FR. However, I can't complain a bit about their description of the DUmmie FUnnies. Plus I liked the fact that they included a mention of the DUmmie FUnnies in their page about DUmmieland.
It's strange. You can tell that the Wikipedia descriptions were written by liberals. However, they weren't so far out that they couldn't appreciate the humor of the DUmmie FUnnies. This is actually a VERY GOOD sign. This tells me that folks either not conservative or even completely apolitical will like a DUFU book (with CD-ROM insert) due to the HUMOR. (Please take note Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Literary Agency.)
Well, the Buddhism I'd disregard. The mohammadanism I'd probably give back. In no event would I be OUTRAGED! at the concept. What a bunch of tools.
Of course not, whoever you are.
Perhaps this filthy leftist swine can buy their own frickin' airline and handout whatever pagan crap they want.
Attention Jeff Kleinman of the Graybill and English Literary Agency: Did I mention that the DUmmie FUnnies has the BIGGEST PING List on the Free Republic? You don't have to just believe me plugging my blog. This fact is VERIFIED in Wikipedia.
thank you...
