Dear American freethinking Christians: You are SO fucked.


Baptist Church excommunicates Democrats. And the American jihad begins ...

Afterthought: I hope this puts to rest, once and for all, the notion that you can talk to these people, that you can negotiate, that there is common ground for an amicable dialogue and all the rest of that conciliatory bullshit. Now you know.

Double afterthought
: And read TImmy the G's take on it as well.

Triple afterthought: It's moderately amusing to think of the church conservatives demanding that anyone who didn't vote for Commander Chimpy had to "repent their sins". You could almost understand it if, against all expectations, Bush had surprised everyone with his competence, his diplomacy, his economic strategies and the like, so that Democrats really did have a moral obligation to say something like, "Well, OK, we were wrong, you were right. He really is one sharp cookie and he's been good for the country."

Instead, as we all know, the Bush presidency has been one long horror show of military imperialism, lost jobs, a tanking economy, massive deficits and so on, which suggests that it's the conservatives who should be crawling humbly on their hands and knees to those same Democrats, pleading for absolution, "Oh, Jesus forgive me, you Dems were right, he really is a complete moron, what in God's name were we thinking!?!?"

So it's not so much that those Baptists are closed minded and intolerant; it's that they're so unbelievably fucking stupid as to think that anyone who voted against Bush has any need to apologize for it. Idiots.
