Examiner Columnist | 6/8/09 5:14 PM News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher.
Riding the wave of Muslim approval after his historic speech from Cairo last week, President Barack Obama will reportedly travel to a major secular capital next week in an effort to "hit the reset button on relations with the Atheist World."
"The president knows how it feels to be marginalized," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, "So he won't be going there to lecture the Atheist World on morality or to try to impose American values on them, like the U.S. has done so often in the past."
Administration sources say the president will talk about the contributions of atheists to American society, and he'll quote from respected atheists like Bertrand Russell, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Jodie Foster.
The speech will also include some rather pointed rebukes to the Christian World for its oppressive treatment of atheists -- including its efforts to evangelize them, make them the subject of prayer, and to characterize atheists as 'people without God', a negative stereotype.
"Most peace-loving atheists want nothing more than to be left alone to pursue sensory stimulus, pass along their DNA, and then to allow their carbon molecules to reunite with the soil," said Gibbs, "but instead they bear the reproach of those who blame them for the actions of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and George Soros."
The president believes the Atheist World and America share common values that he plans to highlight in his speech.
"Like most Americans, atheists want safety for their offspring, those charming little vessels of genetic code," said Gibbs. "They want the right to elect representatives who will make laws guaranteeing survival of the fittest. They want freedom to speak whatever ideas the electro-chemical reactions in their brains happen to produce. Ultimately, they just want the liberty to exist until entropy draws their meaningless existence to a close."
"but instead they bear the reproach of those who blame them for the actions of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and George Soros." (snicker)
LOL!!!
Hard to tell its satire with this Mutt in the WH...
An excellent example of how satire works best when it contains nuggets of truth.
Hillarious... my “scrappleface” detector went up pretty quick, especially the part about atheists being oppressed by Christians.
“’The president knows how it feels to be marginalized,’ said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs”
Like when he went to fancy private schools, was accepted to Harvard Law, won Illinois and U.S. Senate seats in a walk, or was the least experienced person ever to become president, with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln (who had military experience come to think of it, and worked in the private sector, and was a better writer)? Whole lotta hardship and marginalization there. /s
Not that Obama was never underestimated or never caught a sidelong glance from angry white males. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and if he was marginalized it didn’t adversely impact him.
No truth there. Saying it was coming from Gibbs, it would show that Obama's administration is clueless, and would offend and show their supreme ignorance when pandering. Good satire.
I realize it's sarcasm but it's much less of a stretch than what he said in Cairo.
When is he going to mend fences with the Christian world?
Thanks for pssst...My blood pressure skyrocketed!!

Yep, Madalyn Murray O'Hair & her legacy has contributed a LOT to American society! < / sarc >
It is very strange how everyone equates atheism with liberalism. We certainly have a very high percentage of Christian liberals, and even Jews and Muslims* mostly vote Democrat. But somehow it’s the atheists who are liberal.
* I asked a Muslim why he votes Democrat and he couldn’t give any coherent reason, especially since the liberals stand for everything he’s against.
Read the headline and said “Oh, please, no”. (It’s sad when that is your original reaction before you see it’s from Scrappleface).
I'm trying to figure out how atheists ended up with this hateful bitch as a figurehead. If I liked the conspiracies, I'd say the majority Christians capitalized on her to put atheists in a bad light.
Satire? I’m not sure this one won’t happen. Give him a couple of months.
