Sarah Palin is going on a "Mom's March for America." WTF?

Courtesy of Desperation Barbie's Facebook page:

 Mama Grizzlies on the March! I'm Looking forward to joining Candy Carson, Missy Robertson and many other Mama Grizzlies as we march across America this September. Hope to see you there! --->

According to the website:  

On September 23, 2017, HomeMakers for America, in partnership with conservative, faith-based and constitutional advocacy groups across the nation, will hold a Moms March for America! 

Moms and families will unite across the nation to promote a message of hope and decency as we stand for truth, family, freedom and the Constitution. The center of the march is Omaha, Nebraska, but you don’t have to come to Omaha to join the march. The event will be broadcast live so you can join the march wherever you are!

If you are finished chuckling about the idea of Sarah Palin as a homemaker I will proceed.

As you might imagine this is an uber Christian organization that sees the woman's natural role as that of a homemaker and mother, and is attempting to reinforce that those are the most lofty goals for females in this country.

The fact that they have invited Sarah Palin to be a speaker is ironic to say the least.

Here was a woman who could not wait to hand the responsibility of raising her children and maintaining her home to literally anybody who was willing to take that on.

She had staff members, family members, hired helpers, and eventually her own children handle those responsibilities from almost the very beginning.

The other women listed as speakers include Candy Carson, Hud Secretary Ben Carson's wife, and Missy Robertson, one of the Duck Dynasty morons.

Both of them are also fundamentalist Christians and so this is all in keeping with Palin's most recent attempts to remake herself as some kind of internet evangelist.

However if anybody thinks this means that Palin actually supports women, well then I have some Alaskan swampland I would like to sell you.

I am not sure what the payoff is for Palin aside from the fact that somebody is actually paying attention to her and asking her to speak, but I would bet money that there is one.

I guess this will at least give her something to do other than putting one word exclamations on Facebook posts that link to Right Wing propaganda outlets.

Duck Dynasty has been cancelled. See, not all news is bad.

Courtesy of Yahoo News:  

Duck Dynasty will end after the finale of its current season, the Robertson family and A&E announced following the season premiere Wednesday.

“We’ve decided as a family for this to be the final chapter of the Duck Dynasty series,” Jase says in the announcement, with Willie’s wife Korie noting that the family might be back for “a special for two.” 

The series finale will air April 12.

And once it's off the air America's cumulative IQ will steadily start increase. If we're lucky it might even get high enough not to vote for Donald Trump in 2020.

In truth I blame some of Trump's success on these reality shows because they made histrionics and outrageous comments common place and acceptable.


Without the "Jersey Shore" and "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" we might not have a president heading to the White House who made "grabbing them by the pussy" a campaign slogan.

So I am glad to see Duck Dynasty off the air, and I hope it is soon followed by every other brain cell murdering reality show as well. 

I'm pretty sure God was not born in this country.

"Uncle Si" Robertson of @DuckDynastyAE spoke about the election and why faith "is the most important thing." More: https://t.co/E0BLetKUzz pic.twitter.com/1dMmLwQ0m5

I think that this idiot and all of the Duck Dynasty morons should ALL waste their votes like this.

And I would assume that their VP choice is between the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. 

The Duck Dynasty's Phil Roberson talks about marrying underage girls on Fox and Friends. And rather than throw his ass off of the stage they all laugh along with him.

Courtesy of Crooks and Liars:

Robertson began his homily by stating that this is the closest he's ever come to the political process. He spoke about how Orrin Hatch approached him and gave him some kind words. 

Robertson continued: "I said, 'Hatch,' I said, 'In Louisiana, we're kinda like the way you are out there in Utah, we don't wait until they get to be 20 years old before we marry them." [Earhart laughed]. "We move when they're about 15, 16." 

Robertson joked that he and Hatch "bonded." Cohost Brian Kilmeade interjected, "That was an interesting conversation." Robertson replied: "He was like, yeah, we don't wait till they get 20 either." 

All the Friends laughed loudly. 

Kilmeade joked, "Usually, people talk about the buffet and the weather."

Well that was super gross.

And remember this is happening while Roger Ailes is being fired for being a sexual deviant and charges of sexual harassment are flying all over Fox News.

You know one would think that having a dirty old pedophile on the air might be a bad thing for Fox News during a time like this, but then again who ever accused them of being cautious or sensitive to how they might be perceived by others?

Phil Robertson opens NASCAR race with prayer to his god to put a "Jesus man" in the White House. Because you know, who needs those silly elections?

Courtesy of The Friendly Atheist:  

We got here via bibles and guns. I’m fixed to pray to the one who made that possible. Father, thank you for founding our nation. I pray, Father, that we don’t forget who brought us — You. Our faith in the blood of Jesus and his resurrection. 

Help us, Father, to get back to that. Help us, Dear God, understand that the men and women on my right are the U.S. military. On my right, and on my left, our faith in you and the U.S. military is the reason we’re still here. 

I pray, Father, we put a Jesus man in the White House. 

Help us do that, and help us all to repent, to do what’s right to love you more and to love each other. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

So, just reading between the lines here, Robertson wants his god to overrule the will of the people who are showing up to the polls to choose our next leader and simply "put a Jesus man in the White House?" Did I get that right?

I also assume that since he only wants a "man" that Hillary Clinton is a non-starter, and the definition "Jesus man," whatever that is, certainly seems to exclude the Jewish Bernie Sanders as well.

I don't know why he's even trying to be coy since he is already on record as endorsing the super icky Ted Cruz.  Which works out perfectly because according to Cruz's pappy he was chosen by God to win the presidency anyhow.

You know I predict that by the time we get to the 2028 election cycle that there will be so few of these religious zealots left that their opinions, and religious bullshit, will virtually have NO impact on the way anybody votes anymore.

And I can hardly wait for that day to arrive.

I better start taking my vitamins so that I don't miss it.

Ted Cruz suggests that Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson would make a good UN ambassador.

Courtesy of CNN:

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz made an unusual suggestion for U.N. ambassador at a rally on Friday: "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson. 

"How much would you pay to see the Russian ambassador's face when Phil says, 'What is wrong with you people?'" Cruz joked to an applauding crowd in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 

"You know there's a reason he terrifies the mainstream media. He says the things you're not supposed to say," Cruz said at Friday's rally. "He actually remembers who we are as Americans and just speaks it with a joy, not with an anger, not with a hatred, with a joy in who we are."

Yeah, I don't think that the media is "terrified" of Phil Robertson. They're just horrified by his insance ramblings.

Speaking of insane ramblings, here is part of his speech at the very same rally where Cruz suggested his ambassadorship.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

“The strength of this nation will not be this Constitution, but the laws of God that the Constitution is based on. You get rid of God, you get him out and keep him from being your anchor — when you start allowing men to determine what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is evil. You let men do it and they do not vet it with through this book,” he thundered, “Our founding fathers warned us over and over again, what you will end up doing is saying, ‘Well, now I know it sounds like a violation of commandment number six, which says do not murder, but we’re just going to go ahead and tell these ladies — ladies in America — they can kill their children.” 

During the 13-minute speech he barely mentioned the candidate before leaving the crowd with his final words: “Vote godly.”

My question right now would be "Is there anybody sane still supporting these Republican front runners?"
 

All you need to know about Ted Cruz was summed up in Iowa by his supporter Phil Robertson.

Courtesy of Think Progress:  

“Don’t you understand that when a fellow like me looks at the landscape and sees the depravity, the perversion — redefining marriage and telling us that marriage is not between a man and a woman? Come on Iowa! It’s nonsense. It is evil. It’s wicked,” Robertson told the crowd. 

“It’s sinful. They want us to swallow it, you say. We have to run this bunch out of Washington, D.C. We have to rid the earth of them. Get them out of there. Ted Cruz loves God.” 

When Cruz appeared on stage, he reflected praise back at Robertson. “What an extraordinary human being,” the candidate said, claiming that “God makes every one of us unique, but some are uniquer than others.” 

“What a voice Phil has to speak out for the love of Jesus,” Cruz added. “What a joyful, cheerful, unapologetic voice of truth Phil Robertson is.”

Oh yeah, he's "uniquer" alright. 

If "uniquer" is another word for intolerant bible thumping asshole that is.

Essentially this is how Cruz won Iowa. By surrounded himself with religious fanatics, homophobes, and anti-government anarchists who think that Cruz is going to single handedly destroy the government and introduce some kind of hyper Christian theocracy that will hand the country back to them on a silver platter.

The fact that it worked should send a chill down ALL of our spines.

Ted Cruz picks up the coveted Duck Dynasty vote.

Courtesy of MSNBC: 

Having determined Republican White House hopeful Ted Cruz uniquely qualified to “make him a good duck gumbo,” controversial reality TV star Phil Robertson officially endorsed the Texas senator for president on Wednesday. 

“My qualifications for President of the United States are rather narrow,” said Robertson, the patriarch of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” in a video released by the Cruz campaign Wednesday. “Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo?” 

“I’ve looked at the candidates,” Robertson said. “Ted Cruz is my man.”

Seeing Ted Cruz dressed head to toe in camouflage, with little red earplugs and black grease paint on his face, may be one of the most absurd images of this election cycle.

Last night Rachel Maddow called this perhaps the most effective GOP advertisement yet.

The very idea that she might be right, is deeply troubling. 

Louisiana gubernatorial candidate David Vitter recruits one of those Duck Dynasty guys to help that whole prostitute thing.

Courtesy of Mediaite:  

The new ad, titled “David and Willie,” highlights a familiar theme for Vitter’s campaign: how he accepted responsibility for his actions and asked for forgiveness. “What defines us in life is how we get up and earn redemption,” Vitter says in the ad. “Where we are as a state is needing to get up based on strong conservative principles, and that’s what I’m leading with.” 

I cannot believe that this idiot thinks standing next reality star is going to help him win this election. 

Just how stupid does he think the voters are?

Though to be fair this IS Louisiana. 

I love how these conservative clowns are always running on their religious morality, but then when they get caught with their peckers out they claim it's no big deal because "who hasn't
 made mistakes?

Well you know I have made mistakes in my life as well, but cheating on my wife with prostitutes just wasn't one of them.

Now I have no idea what Vitter and Willie Robertson were doing there in the woods, and I don't think I want to know, but it is unlikely to help him since he is now running behind his Democratic opponent by double digits.

Duck Dynasty star claims that "there is no such thing as Atheists"...because you know calendars. Wait, what?

Courtesy of The Christian Post:

'Duck Dynasty' star Si Robertson, who's known for being an outspoken Christian, told CP Voice earlier this week that as a Vietnam veteran he knows there's no such thing as an atheist because when people find themselves in a life-threatening situation they cry out to God, saying, "please help me." 

In an interview with CP Voice on Wednesday, Robertson, along with the film's lead actor Kevin Downes, commented on how the Gospel is presented in the letters between the two men. "One is a skeptic. And there's a lot of skeptics," said Robertson. "I dont believe there's a such thing as an atheist. Because there's too much documentation. Our calenders are based on Jesus Christ." 

"Whether you believe in Him or not, every time you write down the day's date you're saying He's here," continued Robertson, who reiterated his point that when it comes to circumstances of life and death, there aren't any atheists. "Because if you get in a serious bind, the first thing you'll do is say [God,] please help me."

Yeah that last part is demonstrably untrue. It is just what these holy rollers want to believe.

As for the first part.....what?

If I use the same calendar as everybody else, which is kind of important if I don't want to miss an appointment, that means I do not exist? That's ridiculous.

After all I'm pretty sure I exist. Don't I? 

I put up a Christmas tree every year, does that mean I have to believe in Santa Claus?

I also bought some Cadbury eggs and Peeps for the kids I work with last April, does that mean I believe in the Easter Bunny?

If this is the kind of logic that these people use to convince themselves that they are right and we are wrong, no wonder we are gaining more supporters every day.

Seriously a calendar?

"The Duck Commander Musical" will shut down due to poor ticket sales. Seriously, who saw that coming?

Courtesy of Wonkette: 

No one could have predicted that a Vegas musical about the loathsome Robertson family — those jerkwads who hunt ducks and hate homos and believe the only reason people don’t go around cutting off dicks is because the Bible says — would fail harder than Carly Fiorina running a major corporation. (Topical jokes!) And by no one, we mean everyone, even those without God on their speed dial: 

A musical based on the family featured in the “Duck Dynasty” reality TV series is closing in Las Vegas, a little more than a month after it opened. 

“The Duck Commander Musical,” based on the book “Duck Commander Family” by Willie and Korie Robertson, will shut down on May 17 after typically selling less than 100 tickets per performance despite heavy discounting, the Las Vegas Sun reports. 

I wonder, how many drugs does a person have to do in order to make this seem a like a good idea?

Maybe if were staged in Nashville instead of Las Vegas it might have had a better run. Or better yet in Gilley's, that bar from "Urban Cowboy."

I wonder if it's true that the musical accompaniment was made up of duck calls and somebody blowing over the top of a half empty jug of moonshine?

Sarah Palin wishes her favorite racist promoter of marriage to underage girls a happy birthday.

Courtesy of Granny Grifter's Facebook page.

Gee there's that SarahPAC logo again, perhaps Robertson should think about joining the New Jersey Media Group in their lawsuit against her.

After all we know that everything the Robertson clan does is protected by copyright, and that the  Duck Dynasty dipshits are well known for making tons of money off of their image, so unless SarahPAC got permission.....

P.S. Speaking of making money, look how desperate SarahPAC is getting to do just that.

 That's right folks you too could enter for the chance to win this hockey stick, that somebody stamped Sarah Palin's name on, for as little as ten dollars.

I'm sure they're scrambling to donate ten dollars right now as we speak.

Or not.

Next they will offer to auction off a pitbull with lipstick on it. Because you know, you gotta stick with the mythology.

The Duck Commander's advice to potential presidential candidates at CPAC, "Carry your Bible and your woman."

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

“In case one of you gets to be president of the United States, make sure you carry your Bible and your woman,” the reality star advised. “I’m just saying, safety. Safety.” 

According to Robertson, the United States was “almost” at a place where both religion and morality had been lost. 

And to make his point, he asserted that the CDC said that 110 million people in the United States were suffering from sexually transmitted diseases or infections. 

“I don’t want you to die early!” he exclaimed. “It you’re disease free and she’s disease free, you’re married, you keep your sex right there, you won’t get sick from a sexually transmitted disease! Come on!” 

“There is a penalty to be paid from what the beatniks and it morphed into the hippies!” the Duck Commander continued. “What do you call the 110 million people who have sexually transmitted illnesses? It’s the revenge of the hippies! Sex, drugs and rock & roll have come back to haunt us! In a bad way!”

I hate to break it to ole Duckie there, but premarital sex and multiple sexual partners predates hippies by several thousands of years. 

Not only that but the hippies had some pretty good ideas about doing away with war, sexism, and racism that I really think we could use a little more of these days.

Sure having sex with more than one partner has some risk factor, but so does owning a gun, driving a car, or eating at Chick fil A, yet I don't see this moron getting all worked up about that.

I always love it when people who get their information about marriage and sex from a book written thousands of years ago, try to give the rest of us advice on how to live our lives. 

“You want a godly, biblical, medically safe option? One man, one woman, married for life.”

You know if I want a boring, unfulfilling, sexually frustrating option, I just might make that choice. 

But until then sexually transmitted diseases, here I come!

(Just kidding kids. Remember, no glove, no love.)

Citizens United and Breitbart to give Duck Dynasty star "free speech" award for comparing homosexuality to bestiality. I should be more surprised at this right?

Courtesy of Politico:  

Citizens United and Breitbart News will be honoring “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson with a free-speech award after last year’s controversial comments on homosexuality. 

The Hollywood Reporter wrote on Tuesday that Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit organization, and Breitbart News, a conservative news organization, will give Robertson, 67, the “Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award” at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference

The award comes over one year after Robertson called same-sex relationships “not logical” in an interview with GQ Magazine. 

“It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical,” Robertson said for the January 2014 edition of the magazine. 

During the interview, he also compared “homosexual behavior” with bestiality.

I wonder what's next?

Will  Rand Paul get a "Defender of the First Amendment" award for suggesting that vaccinations lead to "profound mental disorders?"

Perhaps Scott Walker should receive the award for responding to a question about evolution with "I'm going to punt on that one as well."

Or maybe former Breitbart journalists Charles C. Johnson will receive the honor for recently claiming that President Obama's birth certificate, and virtually all family photos of him, are fake?

You know just maybe Citizens United and Breitbart are confusing free speech with simple ignorance and an inability to separate fact from religious fables or conspiracy theories.

I guess next on their agenda is to give the Flat Earth Society a life time achievement award for not buckling under to overwhelming scientific research, or even common sense,

Sarah Palin thanks Louisiana for not laughing at her outfit, and gives a shout out to a few of the losers she endorsed this campaign season.

"Hi Mr. Cameraman, do you see me? Am I in focus? Of course I am, I'm a star."

North Louisiana, it was so great to be back in Monroe! With your warm southern hospitality you sure made us feel right at home amidst the duck weather (Duck weather?) that arrived ahead of season! It's an exciting time here. America's eyes are wide open after this month's election, and those eyes are now focused on Louisiana. This sportsman's paradise is poised to send the final message to Barack Obama in the runoff election on December 6th. (And that lesson is that this new Senate will do absolutely nothing until they get replaced by Democrats.) Congressman Bill Cassidy is ready to serve in the U.S. Senate as a fighter for Louisiana, as opposed to Senator Mary Landrieu who has been a voice for Barack Obama (voting with him 97% of the time) and has virtually ignored good Louisianans’ concerns for so many years. The status quo has got to go; Louisiana deserves the best, and Dr. Bill Cassidy is the best candidate for this great state! (Which is certainly not what she was saying just a month ago: "Check out Congressman Cassidy's long liberal record".) It's so encouraging to see concerned Americans all across the country rally for the good doctor – including Louisiana's own Duck Commander, Phil Robertson! 

Never been prouder of Col. Rob Maness, a man of great character and commitment to serving our country. His efforts to unify the party behind Dr. Cassidy are truly admirable. (With the Colonel's bright future in public service, one can envision a future Cassidy/Maness team fighting for conservative principles in Washington.) 

Well sure if he kisses Cassidy's ass now then the Republicans might throw him a bone later. That is Politics 101. Remember the first thing you have to give up is any of that integrity crap.

And Zach Dasher  (Who? Oh yeah the Duck Dynasty Dipshit's cousin who recently lost his race. )is a bold, sharp leader with a beautiful family and shining future who has unified behind his former opponent, Dr. Ralph Abraham, for U.S. Congress. (And along with Rob Maness that makes two, count'em two, endorsees from one state that came up the loser in this election cycle. Gee, no wonder she's proud of Louisiana.) Dr. Abraham, another veteran, has a servant's heart with his "Pilots for Patients" service that provides free flights for patients far from medical care. Thank you to Dr. Abraham's great charity for letting us use their hangar for the Unity Rally yesterday. Todd felt right at home surrounded by all the aircraft and gear! 

Well more at home then he feels at home where he has to sleep on the couch and is not allowed to make eye contact.

Louisiana, your spirit inspires the rest of America; your great candidates bode so well for you on December 6th. (Oh gag me!) We'll cheer you on as you exercise your right to vote for these good guys. The USA needs them fighting for us all!

The only thing I can imagine is that her road kill wig must have awakened from its coma and jumped off her head, and these ladies surrounded it and wrestled it back onto Palin's dome before it could make good on its escape.

Just where is that hair school graduate when you need her?

Well whatever it was you know it must have been serious because Palin is standing with three African Americans and you know that must have made her break out in hives.

Well now we know why Palin was so inappropriately dressed for that Louisiana political rally. She was heading out to participate in Duck Dynasty dinner theater afterward.

Thanks to Phil and Miss Kay for the most scrumptious country cooking tonight in their home kitchen! So authentic and everything from scratch! I recognized lots of recipes from Miss Kay's cookbook: chicken and dumplings, fried cornbread, turnip greens, creamed corn, squash casserole... we are now happy, happy, happy, and stuffed! Great to share a meal with the Duck Commander crew. Now I'm stoked to try more of these great recipes from Miss Kay's Duck Commander Kitchen Cookbook when I get home. Thanks for the great visit, Louisiana!

 - Sarah Palin 

If you actually think that Palin read Miss Kay's cookbook and "recognized lots of recipes" I still have that bridge to nowhere I could sell you.

Palin's idea of making food from scratch means actually using her own gas to drive to Taco Bell to pick her order of Crunchwrap Supremes. ("Do you have any idea how long I had to slave over a hot drive up window to make that food for you?")

So now at least we know how Palin convinced the "Duck Commander" to come to her Unity Rally part deux. She simply offered to help pimp his wife's cookbook.

And look she even brought her own pimp!

It was a case of you wash my back I'll shave yours.
 

Sarah Palin will be in a Louisiana airport hangar today and she wants EVERYBODY to know it!

Now you may have heard that there was this Unity Rally earlier this week that supported Bill Cassidy in his run off against Mary Landrieu.

Now that Rally featured a couple of political heavyweights like Senator David Vitter, Governor Bobby Jindal, and possible presidential candidate Senator Ran Paul.

However that rally got very little press coverage, and do you know why?

Because it did not have a Sarah Palin in attendance, that's why!

However as we speak she is glad handing with Louisiana voters, pressing the flesh with her cold unyielding flesh, and regurgitating word salad talking points faster than a Presto Salad Shooter.

And we know this because EVERY media outlet is telling us that it is happening.

Politico:

The 2008 vice presidential nominee plans to appear alongside Cassidy, “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson and defeated conservative Senate candidate Rob Maness at a GOP unity rally on Saturday afternoon in Monroe, according to a source familiar with the event. The Palin visit follows a Monday event with Maness, Cassidy and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in Baton Rouge. 

Palin supported Maness in the primary and predicted that the underdog candidate could shock the country and advance to the runoff. Ultimately, Maness garnered 14 percent of the vote as Cassidy and Landrieu advanced, a greater amount of support than Cassidy predicted during an interview in October. Cassidy will need some of Maness’s voters to turn out on Dec. 6 after finishing with 41 percent of the vote last week to Landrieu’s 42 percent.


CNN: 

Palin and Robertson will attend a GOP unity rally for Cassidy on Saturday afternoon in Monroe, Cassidy's spokesman confirmed. The story was first reported by Politico.

The New Star:  

Former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be in Monroe Saturday to campaign alongside U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge.

KTBS:  

Sarah Palin travels to Louisiana this weekend to rally with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bill Cassidy, as tea party backers line up for the GOP congressman in hopes of defeating Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu. 

There are a few others as well, but you get the point. 

In case you are wondering that is significantly more coverage than that original rally on Monday attracted. Which of course is why one invites a Sarah Palin to appear at an event designed to attract media attention and potential voters.

But the question to ask is why is this event getting so much attention, while the first one received very little? And the reason is not simply because it features a washed up politician and former reality show flop, along with a former roadie for the band ZZ Top. It is because Palin understands how to do self promotion.

Palin has been drawing attention to herself ever since her days as Miss Wasilla. ("Look I'm in a bathing suit. Ooh, watch me stroke my flute.")

Remember this was the woman who wore a pushup bra in order to get her way in Wasilla city council meetings.

So yes Palin understands how to attract attention to an event, and clearly her team went all in with getting the word out to the various national news agencies and local news outlets. (Can't have that first event, that she was not invited, to getting more attention now can we?)

Now will that attention result in votes for Bill Cassidy, or simply a handful of gawkers hoping to get a gander at the crazy lady who says stupid things on TV?

Well I think we all know the answer to that.

Sarah Palin and the Duck Commander (Seriously?) are pimping this Teabagger congressional candidate from Louisiana. That pretty much tells you all you need to know about him.

“Hey Louisiana, Bibles and guns brought us here, and Bibles and guns will keep us here. Zach Dasher believes in both, that’s why I’m voting for him.”

So to be clear the most important criteria in Robertson's eyes is that this guy is a religious zealot who is willing to shoot people. 

Alrighty.

It might also help that Zach Dasher is a cousin who is just as wingnutty as the reset of the Duck dipshit clan. (After all he actually claimed that the Sandy Hook shootings were the result of Atheism.)

And just in case this were not enough to convince the people of Louisiana that they should vote for anybody BUT this guy, Sarah Palin comes in to seal the deal.

Courtesy of the Wasilla Wendigo's Facebook page:  

Louisiana is fortunate this election season to have bold, fresh, strong conservatives running for office. You hear me tout the warrior Col. Rob Maness for U.S. Senate, and here's their great U.S. House candidate, Zach Dasher! 

Congress needs next-generation commonsense conservatives who will fight to restore the blessings of liberty and never waver on Constitutional principles. Zach is so good about reminding Louisianans that our rights are endowed by our Creator, not a bunch of politicians in D.C., and we're blessed when we courageously stand on that foundation. In fact, his whole family believes it and lives it; here's his uncle, the Duck Commander Phil Robertson, sharing Zach's attributes in this video! 

Louisiana, please get to the polls and send this man with smarts, a solid foundation, and quality character to clean up Washington. You deserve the best and Zach Dasher's your man on Tuesday! - 

Sarah Palin

"Send this man with smarts, a solid foundation, and quality character to clean up Washington." 

Yeah Dasher has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from a Christian University, and spent most of his life fundraising and working in various ministries before becoming a pharmaceutical rep, a job that does not often attract people of "quality character."

According to the most recent poll numbers I could find on this 5th District race in Louisiana, Dasher is coming in dead last with only 7% of the votes in a very crowded field.

Which means that Palin is backing two sure losers in Louisiana. Rob Maness and this Duck dipshit cousin with the gay porn name.

I wonder if when the very last of her credibility dies it will let out a little scream?

Louisiana congressional candidate, and cousin to the Duck Dynasty dipshits, blames the Sandy Hook massacre on Atheism. Wait, what?

Courtesy of Buzzfeed:  

Zach Dasher, the cousin of the Duck Dynasty family who is challenging incumbent Republican Rep. Vance McAllister in Louisiana’s 5th Congressional district, once blamed atheism for the Sandy Hook school shooting. 

Before running for Congress, Dasher was the proprietor of the website Willingtothink.org, which bills itself as a website and podcast “a website and podcast dedicated to encouraging folks to be willing to think about the deeper questions in life.”

“These children that were killed in Connecticut were made for purpose and to be honest with you even the killer himself was made for a purpose,” Dasher said on one podcast titled “Why did this happen,” which discussed the Sandy Hook shootings. 

Dasher says the Adam Lanza, the shooter, was “made in the image of God” but started to believe “what the atheist says.” 

“He was made in the image of God,” he said. “But somewhere along the way he believed what the atheist says. He reduced humanity to nothing more than a collection of atoms, to be discarded like an old banana peel. I guarantee you, now this is my hypothesis, that even saw himself as nothing more than chemicals.”

Yes, of course that makes perfect sense that once you stop believing in an omnipotent sky daddy, that of course you start murdering your fellow human beings. 

Which of course, as you know, is backed up by sound research that can be found in the scientific journal entitled "Facts I Pulled Right Out of My Ass."

( Hey I guess we should simply be impressed that at least this Right Wing nutjob doesn't think the Sandy Hook shootings were an elaborate hoax.)

Personally I am getting sick and tired of  Atheists being blamed for EVERYTHING these days.

The next thing you know they will start blaming us for the low attendance at church and a reduction in religious belief in America. (Oh you know what? Those might be our fault.)

Now if you are thinking to yourself, "Hey I have totally seen this dim bulb someplace before," that is because you have totally seen this dim bulb someplace before:

Yep, just another winner endorsed by the Wasilla Wendigo.

Kind of makes me wonder just how low your IQ has to be before Palin will give your campaign her cloven hoof of approval? I'm guessing the low 80's.

Hey speaking of low IQ's there is now a Duck Dynasty video game where you have to perform certain tasks in order to "become a Robertson."

Which is kind of interesting since Dasher also said the following: 

“Porn and video games are the most obvious symptoms of what is wrong with our culture but they of themselves are not the core problem,” Dasher said. “Those are the symptoms. So some people want to blame this on porn and video games. Look, does it contribute? Yes. Is it the core of the cause? No. These are also symptoms.”

You know maybe the next time that Dasher gets invited to go deep into the wilderness with the heavily armed Robertson clan he might consider taking a pass.

They might be all about forgiving sins, but costing them money on merchandising? Probably not so much.

Phil Robertson claims that diseases, such as AIDS, are God's punishment for sin. Holy crap is it 1981 again?

While promoting his new book unPHILtered: The Way I See It, Robertson spoke at length about what he called the “physiological downside to immorality” in an interview with Family Research Council president Tony Perkins’ radio program Washington Watch last week. 

“I mean, a great question to ask is ‘Why is it that all of these just—is this coincidental that viewing all of the immoral conduct that America now is participating in, I’ve asked a lot of people, Do you think it’s a coincidence that all of these debilitating — and literally, it can cause death — diseases follow that kind of conduct?” Robertson said. 

“God says, ‘One woman, one man,’ and everybody says, ‘Oh, that’s old hat, that’s that old Bible stuff’ and I’m thinking well, let’s see now. A clean guy, a disease-free guy, and a disease-free woman, they marry and they keep their sex between the two of ‘em, uh, they’re not gonna get chlamydia and gonorrhea and syphilis and AIDS. It’s, it’s safe.” 

Robertson concluded that such diseases from such behaviors are punishment from God. 

“Now to me either it’s the wildest coincidence ever that horrible diseases follow immoral conduct,” he said, “or it’s God saying, ‘There’s a penalty for that kind of conduct.’ I’m leanin’ toward there’s a penalty toward it.” 

“So, you read in the Bible, you say well let’s see, ‘Well, it’s one man, one woman,’” he said. “Any logical person would say, what the guy is sayin’ is, that’d be me, is that if you wanna be safe from a lot of debilitating diseases, that’s the route to go. And it agrees with what God says so it’s just one argument after another, Tony, but what can I say all you can do is just show ‘em that and say, ‘Man, we ought to think about this Jesus stuff.’”

You know it occurs to me that if a man and another man, or a woman and another woman,  were to enter into an exclusive relationship that they too would be safe from the diseases that Robertson listed above.

So it seems that the problem is NOT that certain behaviors are deemed sinful in the minds of the narrow minded, and therefore punishable by God.  But instead that those engaging in careless promiscuity, or not practicing safe sex, might infect a partner with a sexually transmitted disease, whether gay or straight.

As for other diseases like cancer, or heart disease, or even Ebola, those seem to care little how moral or immoral a person might be.

And the reason for that is because sickness and death are both a biological inevitability that only the ridiculously superstitious would consider the result of human immorality.

Phil Robertson is an imbecile who insists upon seeing the world through a prism which identifies everything in terms of good vs evil.

And anybody who buys his book looking for wisdom is barking up the wrong fake hillbilly.
