Hate Comes to Vermont

UPDATE! Montpelier High Student(s) leveraged crazy hatefulness into CASH MONEY for G.L.A.D. (Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) is a non-profit legal rights organization in the United States. The organization was founded in 1978, and works toward ending discrimination based on sexual orientation, HIV status, and gender identity and expression.)

They raised more than $36,000 (and counting?)

Listen

Brief note: The band of hateful good for nothings from the Westboro Baptist Church (of Topeka, Kansas) are scheduled to come to Montpelier tomorrow to rail against our gay-loving ways (before heading on to Burlington to hurl invective at jews and jew-lovers far and wide).

I briefly considered taking my kids to their "picketing" event at Montpelier High-school (why the hell are they going to a high school?), but after finally accessing their schedule of events it's clear that this is just too vile to be turned into a Learning Experience.

I wish we could all just ignore them (because really they are just looking for publicity, aren't they?), but this kind of scary shit is impossible to ignore. I'll drop the kids off at school and meet up with these fine people afterward.

Their Montpelier Schedule:

07:20A -07:50AMMontpelier High School - VT teaching lies to kids? No Good! 5 High School Drive Here is the link for a video from WBC on the TRUE History of the Jews: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5174496/13683515 Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; WBC intends to remind these rebel children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of their duty to the children. Specifically, that Historical Society should begin and end their displays and/or presentations with a thorough discussion of the History from the Bible. Moses was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt, and until God showed him the truth he was dumb as dirt. Did you hear me? Read these words about that fact: Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. That is the only history worth discussing! Are you of God? Or are you NOT of God! Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Just like any other dirt worshiping, earth dweller - if the apostate, Christ-rejecting Jews do not believe the testimony written then this is what Isaiah had to say about that: Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Since God took your light for your rebellion - you have only to wait now for Antichrist Obama (God's servant) to come and DESTROY you and all that you have and worship this day. Praise God!
07:55 AM - 08:25 AMVermont State House - God Hates Fags, and God Hates VT! 115 State St Vermont is known for one thing primarily in this day and age (no not the beautiful scenery, not the quiet quaint towns, not the Maple Syrup). They are the most "gay" friendly spot in DOOMED america. That is a great shame on this state and their State House. We must preach to them, and advise them of their impending doom. Psalm 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Your turned that state over to the fags, now your children come home in body bags! Next you will eat those children with your false gods and your filthy manner of life. That is correct, it will not be hard for you to be immediately besieged, and when that happens Vermont will eat their babies! AMEN!
08:30 AM - 09:00 AMMontpelier City Clerk/Treasurer Ofc - Quit Enabling Sin, $ lovers! 39 Main Street Turning the state of Vermont over to the fags may seem like a sound financial decision what with the poor economy and all, but YOU know what the Lord God said about money, the love of money and the hurtfulness of covetousness - correct? Oh sure you do! So, what do you think will come of all of that? I will re-tell you what King Solomon told you before on this subject, to wit: Ecclesiastes 5:9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. 10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? 12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? 17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. Now if that does not describe these sick, disgusting fags and their enablers - what does? Meantime, God mocks DOOMED america and detestible Vermont for catering to the flesh of their citizens and forgetting God in all their ways and works. The Beast Obama will not hesitate to bankrupt each state in this union. When you see this, DOOMED vermont, you better start stock piling those babies - for those will be your meals. Praise God for HIS Judgments. AMEN!

Rainy Day Breakfast #12 and 35

While eating breakfast this morning, a drippy Saturday morning, Norah had some advice about venturing outside in pajamas:

-You know why it’s not good to go outside in your pajamas when it’s sprinkling?
-Why?
-Because that’s God drinking from a sippy cup.
-Oh yeah?
-Drinking juice from a sippy cup.
-God drinks juice from a sippy cup?
-Yes, because God has Down's Syndrome.

Sexology

Tonight's Fergusworld Episode:

From the next room he called out, "What's Innuendo mean?"

I tried to explain, but it turns out to be pretty hard to explain, especially to a 9-year-old. So I said, "Wait a minute; I'll get the dictionary."

When I came back, flipping through the pages, he said, "Just give it to me. I want to look it up."

Honestly, I wasn't even sure he knew how to look up a word like that in the dictionary. But he did, and read the definition out loud:

in-nu-en-do 1. An indirect intimation about a person or thing esp. (he pronounced this "esp") of a derogatory nature. 2. Law a. a parenthetic explanation or specification in a pleading b. (in an action for slander or libel) the explanation and elucidation of the words alleged to be defamatory.


Then we went on to read the derivation of the word, mostly phonetically, since it was rife with cryptic abbreviations.

He sat there for a moment. Then he announced, "I did not understand a word I just read."

But he held onto the dictionary.

Five minutes later he announced, "Sex! Norah, Sex is here! In the dictionary!"

There was a pause.

"Everything is sex!" he said.

"Sex act. Sexagenarian. Sexagesima. Sex appeal. Everything is sex! Sexavalent. Sex chromosome. Sexism. Sexologist. Sexpartite. I want to be a sexologist. I'm going to be a sexologist!"

As I say, the kid is nine.

The New Brown Shirts



This week's thought-provocation comes from Hofstra political science professor David Michael Green.

The article is called "My 1933 Nightmare". Read it.

"And this is, at the end of the day, the scariest aspect of all concerning the current political moment. America now possesses a massive cohort of people who have simply transcended rational discourse – the sine qua non of democracy, and the real deity worshiped by Enlightenment figures like those who founded the country...."

Mystery Chickens

Back in May we received 10 day-or-two-old chicks from the local feed store. They were all supposed to be hens, but the supplier makes no guarantees because chicks (and the eggs they come from) are notoriously hard to sex.

Anyway, we had ordered 5 Barred Rock hens and 5 Buff Orpington hens.

A couple of months have passed, and even though we are pretty sure we have 5 Barred Rock hens, we are still living with some mystery.

We seem to have...
  • One Buff Orp with a pale comb and wattle. I will say this is a hen. See exhibit A.
  • One Buff Orp with a red comb and wattle. I'm actually thinking this is a hen, too. Exhibit B.
  • THREE that seem to be some other breed altogether--even though our first thought was they were just male Buff Orps. But these things have to be some other chicken. Rhode Island Red? New Hampshire Red? SOMETHING red, anyway. With greenish-black tail feathers. Exhibit C.
At least ONE of the reds is a cockerel. How do I know? The morning cock-a-doodle-doo is rather a give away. But the strutting around on high alert all the time? I'm thinking male.

But the next question is: are ALL of the red ones males? Or just one or two?

I think only one of them crows in the morning, and there is one that seems more territorial than the other two, but who knows? They look an awful lot alike.

Stakes are high, because we're not even sure we want ONE male around our layers (Norah is creeped out by the idea of eating fertilized eggs). Any extra males will be going for a brief stay at our friend Shawnee's house before an extended visit to Freezer Camp.


Exhibit A: Henny Buff Orpington.


Exhibit B: Another Buff Orpington hen?


Exhibit C: Mystery Bird or Bird-Dude.
