Wow! She has to be related to George W. Bush somehow.....  Maybe this dumb Twinkie should put down her fantasy book called "The Bible" and learn some world geography; Indians are the same as Africans.....oh boy...
Ever notice that the most religious types also seem to be the least educated?...
I`m with you on this; I have had my fill of these brain dead bible thumpers cramming their fairy tales down everyone`s throat. What is really disturbing is how entrenched it is becoming within the upper ranks of our military. I read an article by Jeff Sharlet who wrote the book The Family. In it he talks about how these religious groups on C street in Washington are funneling billions of dollars into congress to further their Christian agenda of hegemony across the globe. They send Senators and congressmen on trips overseas to push this agenda. What is disturbing is their interpretation of Jesus and Christianity is not one of "peace and love" but one of "Christian Warriors" who`s mission from God is conversion by force.
I have said these people are even more potentially dangerous than Islamic fundamentalists. The reason this is true is through our military chain of command, these people do have access to nuclear weapons, unlike Iran who hopes to acquire that power. Don`t take my word for it, browse these links and you will see the very disturbing pattern of behavior and it`s influence upon America`s foreign policy.

Christian Fundamentalism as a Instrument of US Military Doctrine

Bill Maher, The Family, Christian Fundamentalist takeover of the US Military
It's far worse than anyone thought. For years we have been hearing about our home grown Taliban infiltrating the Air Force Academy, and causing cultural angst in both Iraq and Iran with military leaders allowing the distribution of Christian Bibles and literature to Muslims by our troops. But The Family written by Harper's Journalist Jeff Sharlet opens wide the door to the who, where and why of this group who feed the powerful rather than as the gospels suggest, feed the powerless. The Family, a Review
Family leader Doug Coe keeps a low profile though we do see his hand at work as The Family quietly sponsors those congressional morning prayer meeting we so often here of. It is not only a function of promoting religious intolerance and educational ignorance, but to push "biblical capitalism" to relieve taxes on the wealthy and to specifically destroy all things New Deal. Also like the Neo Cons, they promote American world domination through war and economic force.
But the real story is that this book came out well over a year ago and no one has paid it any nevermind - and only now on late night pay cable show.
It gains no attention because here in America disparaging religion WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Raising a finger against religion in this land is a losing proposition for every politician and every facet of the mainstream media.

Scary Hitler Based C Street Family Uses Tax Dollars to Undermine Government, Spread Political Theocracy Worldwide.
This is one story we are not hearing about, and I dare to say it's much more important than the shiny keys of the Beer Summit which have distracted us. We thought they were a group of Republicans whose worst traits were sharing a tax exempt Animal House from which to conduct their sexual escapades. If only that were all!
Rachel Maddow explains how they're using tax dollars and House and Senate Arms Services Committee transportation, and have already presented their philosophy to undermine and overtake our country as an American ideal to far too many countries in their seemingly official capacities! Based on teachings of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, they are above ordinary morality, hence the sexual escapades, and overthrowing the government at our expense. At the same time, they pull in money from church organizations due to their theory that they're working for a Jesus based theocracy. Christ cannot return until they have built this government . They're supported by the wacky wing of the Republican party and many church based organizations, which they brag make them "like the mafia" in that their activities and money are difficult to trace.
You will not believe what they're doing. With federal money, they travel far and wide claiming to represent the American people. This is one to keep you awake nights!

This is why I am to the point that I truly am starting to hate these people. I used to be of the attitude that they can do as they wish under our Constitution; "live and let live" I am now seeing them like a creeping cancer that is dangerous to the health of our nation. So Mooz, I think the answer is not to flee OUR country, it is to take it back from the freaks like this. The one thing that Joseph Stalin did get right was the total abolishment of religion in the Soviet Union.......

I wish it were, but watching it again, this girl is really that stupid. I don`t see any sign that this was staged. Honestly, I am not surprised; most of the really wacko Christians I have encountered are extremely ignorant people when it comes to the world and current events.
Here is more freaky news coming out of the U.S. Air Force. We are told by Fox and AM talk radio to be afraid of Islamic fundamentalism. I fear these home grown Christian extremists far more; Timothy McVey was one of these after all.....

Christian Fascists at the Air Force Academy
Revolution #021, November 6, 2005, posted at revcom.us
Think of this: The U.S. Air Force in the hands of religious fanatics who believe in the literal word of the Bible, including the justness of using ruthless violence against enemies in the name of God. Look, for example, at the celebration of brutal conquest in Numbers 31:
"They [the Israelites] took the field against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded, and slew every male.... And they destroyed by fire all the towns in which they were settled..."
We're not there yet. But Christian fundamentalist forces who seriously aim to establish a theocracy in the U.S. are a relentlessly aggressive force in this society, with position and influence at the highest levels of power. The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs gives a glimpse into this.
Last month Mikey Weinstein, a 50-year-old attorney in New Mexico, filed a lawsuit demanding that the Air Force prohibit its members from attempting "to involuntarily convert, pressure, exhort or persuade" cadets at the Air Force Academy "to accept their own religious beliefs while on duty." Weinstein, a graduate of the Academy, had been locked in a fight with the Air Force hierarchy since his younger son, currently a cadet at Colorado Springs, revealed that he had been the target of overt anti-Semitism.
When Weinstein looked into what was happening at the Academy, he confronted a whole culture of official promotion, including from the top levels, of evangelical Christianity and the intense pressuring of cadets to take up those beliefs.
What is pushed at the Air Force Academy is not Christianity in general. "It’s not a Christian-Jew thing," Weinstein said. "It’s evangelical Christian vs. everybody else. The viciousness is as bad against mainline Protestants as it is against Catholics as it is against Jews."
Here are just some of the other things that have been taking place at the Academy:
•Brigadier General Johnny Weida, Commandant of Cadets, has endorsed religion generally and evangelical Christianity in particular... For example, he officially endorsed ‘National Prayer Week’ in a mass email message instructing cadets to "ask the Lord to give us the wisdom to discover the right, the courage to choose it, and the strength to make it endure" and declaring that "He has a plan for each and every one of us."
•The Academy's head football coach put up a banner in the players’ locker room that read, "I am a Christian first and last. I am a member of Team Jesus Christ."
•During a basic cadet training session, an Academy chaplain led a Protestant service in which he encouraged attending cadets to proselytize other cadets by telling them that the penalty for not being "born again" was to "burn in the fires of hell."
This promotion of a "Christian Air Force" is part of a broader phenomenon. According to Esther Kaplan, author of With God on Their Side, How Christian Fundamentalists Trampled Science, Policy, and Democracy in George W. Bush's White House,
"They've really allowed Christian evangelizers to move in on the heels of American troops... We've seen members of the U.S. military pushing Christianity on their own soldiers. In the book I mention a piece that appeared in a Florida newspaper that was quickly denied--and no other reporters followed up on it--about a chaplain that was actually forcing soldiers [in Iraq] to get baptized if they wanted the chance to dip in a bath while there was this incredible water shortage among U.S. troops... I actually met one of the soldiers who had come back from Iraq who was on that base with that chaplain and who confirmed to me that was what had gone on. So, if it's not a holy war, it sure smells a lot like it."
And Bush's Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence is Army General William Boykin--a man who openly and in uniform calls the Iraqi people the "face of Satan," declares that the Christian God is the only true and "real" god, and says that "God himself" put Bush in the White House.
Those who say that the Christian fascists won't get too far because the majority doesn’t share their outlook should think about the strength of the Christian right in the military and should understand that these forces are preparing to forcibly ram their agenda through if need be.

Couldn't watch it. It was either painfully hard due to copious ignorance or a parody that I found completely unfunny...
