Feel free to read the thread above for clarification.

Yes.

Other than that, it’s indistinguishable from whatever other flyover state there is.

That’s some bullshit right there.

Well yuck.

Shania Law?
That don’t impress me much.

To be perfectly frank, I don’t *have* a picture of Iowa. I’m unfortunately one of those asshole East Coast people who really does see America as “East Coast, flyover, Chicago, flyover, Rockies, West Coast”. As a result, Iowa doesn’t really register enough to even populate it with Fred Phelps people specifically. It’s just one of those states there in the middle full of pricks.

I know, it’s a tragic mental flaw, to dismiss the great states of what’s in the middle, but frankly, I’ve gotten so sick over the past seven years of every half witted numb nutted psychotic with a modem and a dream coming out of that middle and acting like they’re the real America, that I, well, don’t give a shit about them and their follies.

So, really, Candy, I’m sorry that Iowa is the great liberal state of the Heartland (patent pending), and that you feel offended and upset that someone would suggest that some other city or state would be more likely to have the sins and debaucheries of its people blamed for when natural disaster hits like it would, whereas poor Midwesterners are just suddenly beset with floods and tornadoes as they sit in the path of flood plains and tornado alleys as they have for decades, completely free and clear of any moral judgment.

Also, Florida went to Gore in 2000, too. It’s just that nobody cared enough about Iowa to steal your electoral votes in a farce.

Fuck that shit.

Oh, and by the way, Iowa is a whole fuckload more liberal than Miami or any other goddamn place in Florida, for that matter. We also don’t have a death penalty and Planned Parenthood has a real presence in this state. Went for Gore in 2000, Clinton both times. (Bush squeaked it in 2004). Five representatives, 3 Dem and 2 Repub. One Dem Senator(Liberal Tom Harkin) and one Rep Senator (the not-crazy Charles Grassley, currently going after the likes of Hagee about their tax exempt status). Dem Governor, both state house and senate majority dem. Judge Hanson struck down gay marriage ban and a gay couple was married here before an injunction stopped gay marriage prior to state Supreme Court ruling on it. I personally think we may be the next state to allow gay marriage. We still teach actual science in our schools.

But hey, why do I bother? Some people have such fixed ideas about certain areas of the country, they just can’t be convinced otherwise. Go ahead, believe we have chickens and pigs roaming the streets of Des Moines and never saw a black person. (Oh, yeah, African American Imam in our state legislature, formerly on the Des Moines school board. No black people here though, no sirree. My state Senator is openly gay, but hey, don’t let that interfere with your picture of iowa)

Kind of like fReichtards and San Francisco.

Well, he ain’t the Lizard King, even if he do.

Jebus Christ on a Defiled Deified Cracker, that Jesus-is-Savior site is nuts. I was looking at it with my 16 year old kid, and he was actually getting scared.

“I don’t like to think there are people like that around, Mom,” said he.

“Me either, son, me either.”

Yup, the title is:

WHEN GOSPEL TRACTS KILL!

Dagnab, that’s some wild stuff there. This is the kind of thing I escaped from in my teens: ironically, by reading the Bible from cover to cover and drawing my own conclusions.

They hate it when people do that.

But I was curious about “Beware of Chick Tracts.” However, I only got as far as “This is why we need talk radio” and I fled, screaming.

Ya’ll are made of strong stuff.

It was also a truism after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake that more churches were wrecked than saloons.

It is a turgid, engorged, throbbing fact that during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the epicenters of SoCal sodomy, i.e. West Hollywood and Silver Lake, were virtually unscathed. Daddy Nature saw fit to vent His wrath instead on places like Simi Valley (home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library) and Moorpark (home of… well, not much really).

Leon, there’s even a name for the condition – it’s called apophenia.

The ends of shoelaces are called “aglets.” Their true purpose is sinister.

I’m sorry, but if God was really that angry about gays and stuff, the entire planet would be shaking 24/7.

It was also a truism after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake that more churches were wrecked than saloons. Based on Kovach’s logic, saloons are holy ground. I’ll drink to that.
