Shall we call them fuckwits instead?

by Karen on February 13, 2009

The Religious Right is upset (again). They’ve decided that it hurts their feefees when we refer to them as the religious right and they’re not going to take it anymore (via: Pam Spalding):

The term “Religious Right” pops up every election cycle, but leaders often identified with the political movement say that while their constituencies remain strong, the catchphrase deserves a proper burial.

However, several politically conservative evangelicals said in interviews that they do not want to be identified with the “Religious Right,” “Christian Right,” “Moral Majority,” or other phrases still thrown around in journalism and academia.

As you can probably guess from the title I’m somewhat partial to calling them fuckwits.  How about you? What do you think we should call ‘em instead?

The best thing about Obama winning?

November 11, 2008

Watching the hate machine devour itself.  It’s fucking hilarious. Here’s another article over at Alternet about what’s been going on since McCain lost.  Fox “news” is trying to disown the lynch mob it created and the Freepers are planning to boycott Fox over the disowning. McCain’s inner circle is trying to blame everything on Sarah [...]

Shouldn’t they throw a party?

September 29, 2008

Danny Funderburk, mayor of Fort MIll, SC, recently forwarded an email claiming that Obama was the other Christian boogeyman, The Antichrist.  Some folks are utterly shocked that such a thing could happen in this day and age. Heh. Christians have a long established tradition of calling people antichrists.  Even Martin Luther couldn’t resist the tug [...]

The religious right and other assorted religious bigots love to scream about how they’re being persecuted here in America.  Some are so damned bad they’ve declared telling them to leave you alone is an act of persecution.

Methinks ole Pat is getting soft with age as [...]

February 4, 2008

Mississippi is still doing it’s part in destroying the rights of women, but this time they’ve decided to amuse the rest of us by contradicting themselves without realizing it because HB 220 (PDF) contains this gem: A pregnant mother possesses certain inherent rights that are natural intrinsic rights which enjoy affirmative protection under the Constitution [...]
