The guy behind the "Blacks for Trump" signs is a former cult member who believes that President Obama is the Antichrist.

Courtesy of New York Magazine: 

It didn’t take an eagle eye to notice the “Blacks for Trump” signs just over Donald Trump’s left shoulder at his Tuesday rally in Sanford, Florida. The middle-aged white woman enthusiastically waving hers was particularly memorable. But the man next to her, a fringe political figure in South Florida who goes by Michael the Black Man, is the real star here. 

A former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, Michael has found himself with front-row seats to several recent Trump events in South Florida, always waving his “Blacks for Trump” sign and wearing a shirt that says “Trump & Republicans Are Not Racist.” At Tuesday’s rally in Sanford, Trump took notice. “I love the signs behind me. Blacks for Trump. I like those signs. Blacks for Trump. You watch. You watch. Those signs are great,” he said.

Getting noticed by Republican pooh-bahs is nothing new for Michael. He appeared at a Rick Santorum event in 2012, where he declared Democrats “slave masters,” and has Glenn Beck’s seal of approval. 

This success with the GOP is a credit to Michael’s fervent anti-Obama stance, which is less about policy than Michael’s belief that the president, whom he calls “The Beast,” is the Antichrist whose rise was foretold in the Bible. Not that he doesn’t disapprove of Obama’s policies, too. Michael told the Miami New Times that he believes the president’s backing of child support could bring about the extinction of the free black man.

"Michael’s belief that the president, whom he calls “The Beast,” is the Antichrist whose rise was foretold in the Bible."

What did I say the other day?

Oh yeah,  "It appears that it is not only idiots that support Donald Trump, but if you decide to support Donald Trump then you eventually turn into an idiot"

Well in this case it also helps if you are perhaps clinically insane. And if you are not insane, then supporting Donald Trump might get you there.

You know it is probably unfair to say that Trump's support is almost entirely made up or racists, misogynists, self loathing blacks, self loathing women, and crazy people, but I would suggest that it makes up a larger percentage than the campaign would be willing to admit.

The signs you see in Alaska.

The idea is that if you see a bear you can jump into a nearby car for protection.

However that may not be quite enough.

I had a teacher in high school whose job it was to wrangle bears on the North Slope.

He was not allowed to carry a gun, and had to resort to firecrackers and a broom to chase the inquisitive creatures away.

Once he saw a truck by the side of the road with a bunch of yellow stuff piled beside one broken window.

When he approached and knelt down he realized that was the stuffing from inside the seat cushions.

He said that he had a moment of terrible realization and stood up only to come face to face with a huge black bear that had manged to break the window and squeeze itself into the small opening in order to dig for the sack lunch the owner had stored under his seat.

He said they both panicked and he fell back onto the ground while the bear somehow turned itself around in the cab and smashed through the other previously unbroken window to get away.

I have never left food in my car while camping since.

Responses, to the responses, to the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate, that you must see.

So as some of you may know Buzzfeed featured photos of Creationists holding signs with messages for Bill Nye after the debate.




I know, right?

There were a number of good responses to these ridiculous signs.

However today I stumbled across my favorite responses yet.

Really not much more to add. Except, Amen!

For non-theists this is pretty much the Bible in a nutshell.

I recently posted that according to Biblical scholar Reza Aslan the Bible is meant to be read as an allegory, but also that it really only makes sense to the believer.

To those of us not in that camp things like talking snakes, surviving in a whale's stomach for three days, or people living to be hundreds of years old is simply a non-starter. 

For that reason taking any moral lessons from a book which is filled to the brim with obvious fabrications seems ridiculous.

And now I am embarrassed by my ethnicity again.

This is a bridge near Springfield, Oregon.

So apparently the argument is that if you are against racism you are against white people.

Therefore I would assume that according to these idiots those of us who are Caucasian and yet argue against racism are self loathing whites. 

They are partially correct. I DO hate white people, but only the white people who would put up a sign as fucking stupid as that one.

I would assume these individuals are proud members of the Tea Party and are undoubtedly convinced that President Obama is a secret Kenyan Muslim socialist, who is dedicated to destroying the country.

But hey, at least they spelled all of the words correctly.
