He ventured forth to bring light to the world

[MSGT]

The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers


And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

"...But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (Barak Obama), spoken of by Lazarus the prophet, standing where it ought not (the Oval Office), (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in America flee to the mountains..."

[The_Elucidator]

If we can only get him to climb the mountain and have his goofy ass transfigured into a conservative.

Maybe he can have a whole new set of commandments!

Thou shalt covet thy neighbors house especially if thou wins it in thy lawsuit!
Thou shalt only kill thy newborn in the womb!
Thou shalt covet thy neighbors wife especially before thy spouse gets home!
Thou shalt have no other Gods before me, except for athletes, Hip Hop artists and communist oppressors!
Thou shalt remember the Sabbath as the day to bash Whitey and recover from thou hangover!
Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother, even if they happen to be 2 fathers or 2 mothers.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy brother unless thy brother is a conservative.
Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord thy God in vain unless thou art condemning America or Whitey.
Thou shalt only steal from the top 10% income bracket to redistribute to the slothful.

That Times Uk piece even made it on Rush's show today... :thumb:

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

:moo: Threads merged.

The Great Prophet Algore of Nobel and Oscar, who many had believed was the anointed one, smiled and told his followers that the Child was the one generations had been waiting for.




:roar:


Yes, this is irreverent. Some might even consider it blasphemous.

I think it's clever and hysterical. :thumb:

And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.
Great piece!! :biglaugh:

Thou shalt only kill thy newborn in the womb!Only thing is, Obama wouldn't limit it to just in the womb. He would also allow it partially outside the womb, and would allow it fully outside the womb if the newborn survived an attempt to kill it inside the womb.

He ventured forth to bring light to a benighted world

Only thing is, Obama wouldn't limit it to just in the womb. He would also allow it partially outside the womb, and would allow it fully outside the womb if the newborn survived an attempt to kill it inside the womb.

Obamination never made that distinction. He said that he doubted that babies wholly outside the mother's womb were "persons" entitled to Constitutional protection. He never limited it to babies that had survived an abortion. It begs the question, then, as to what age an infant must be before it is entitled to Constitutional protection.

That is just his way of planting the seed into people's heads that the Constitution offers NO protection to anyone in fact. Didn't any of you read ANIMAL FARM?<!-- / message -->

Yes. Some of us. But not all of us.

Personally, I liked 1984 better.
