Mr. Reliable - steve-b at it again.

[SamuraiScot]

A majority of Republicans today actually believe the president was born in Kenya.

I don't know if that's true. But what I know is true is that a majority of Americans believe his head is up his @$$.

[steve-b]

I always try to dig up interesting material that you don’t usually find from other posters, yes.

[goodnesswins]

Idiots abound....especially among libs

[GeronL]

The left takes themselves so seriously they ridicule themselves writing crap like that.

[KarlInOhio]

Over the decades, a nebulous root-system of direct-mail lists fed the paranoia of the stupid and informed the world of AM talk radio. Toxic to democracy, this monster has flourished in the age of the Internet and media consolidation.

If you hum The Internationale loud enough those mean old Tea Partiers and other assorted "crazies" won't be able to take over your brain like they've done to half the country.

There is also a problem with losing some of the old stories while trying to yuppify the language. The authors of the KJ had the decency when they did not comprehend the context of old stories, to leave the language as they found it and assume that somebody 400 years later might figure it out.

.....
Most (and by a large percentage)Tea Party people believe that Obama has not shown his birth certificate. There are more Tea Party People than republicans.

So THAT'S why I think as I do.

S’all good, he got spanked in the comments. LOL

[DJ MacWoW]

This must be the loon that writes for HuffPo. Not only are his knickers in a knot, his tail appears to be twisted too. What a bunch of hysterical drivel. Sounds like Dowd after she looks in the mirror.

[Anti-Utopian]

Believe sinful human behavior magically changes the weather, and believe ruining advanced civilization plus killing billions of humans to "control population" is a great idea to fix a problem only they see.

I don't know anything about lizard-people, but I know who the dangerous wack-jobs are.

How can you be "stupid" and "informed?"

I just visited Conservapedia.com, and didn't see anything about the "Bible re-writing project." Most conservatives are happy to keep sound translations. For Catholics, that often means the Douay-Rheims, for many Protestants, that means the original King James (provided you have a proper understanding of Elizabthan English).

Phyllis Schlafly is Catholic, and she would know you can't just go around translating Bibles without a higher authority than yourself, or your scribes approving it.

The only thing I can think of, is that it is almost mocking the liberal interpreters, who are happy to jettison and change texts in their quest for the "Historic Jesus," who is watered down, wispy, and not God Himself in any serious way. I hope that's the case.

I just read the AP story about Conservapedia.com, the Bible rewriting project proposing to erase the effects of "liberal academics" who have "watered down" Jesus by studying the ancient languages of the Bible

Conservapedia is a conservative version of Wikipedia, not a Bible rewriting project.

They do -have- a Bible translation project in progress, but I wouldn't expect a journalist to understand the distinction.

Do you think they have WiFi under his bridge?

“A troll is a member of a fearsome humanoid race from Scandinavian folklore, and its predecessor Norse mythology, as in “The Three Billy Goats Gruff [1] (www.surlalunefairytales.c...ygoats/),” the well-known Scandinavian folk tale in which a troll living under a bridge torments some billy goats that want to cross. “

“Trolls are one of the most frequent creatures of Scandinavian fairy tales and more common than elves, dwarves, witches and giants (in the fairy tales, there is no clear-cut line between witches and female trolls, nor between male trolls and giants). They hoard gold. They come in any size and can be as huge as giants or as small as dwarves. They are however always regarded as having poor intellect “

Just ignore the little fruitcake.

Osborne is a complete hair-on-fire nutcase left-winger, and I’m more than a bit surprised I have to run into this sort of compost on FR.
