The Ugly American is a Flaming Bigot

I received this from a family member today, and I’m sick at my stomach over it.

Shit like this disgusts me. I’m ashamed to be associated with bigots who would create an e-mail like this and those who would perpetuate the ignorance and prejudice. You should see the insane number of forwards that came from this. Easily hundreds of people cc’d and easily dozens who forwarded it eventually into my inbox.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Is it really that hard to pull your head out of your own ass, investigate some fucking facts, and – I don’t know – maybe act LIKE A FUCKING CHRISTIAN every once in a while? What would Jesus do, people? I bet he’d throw up in his mouth just knowing people use his name to perpetuate hatred, violence, and intolerance. I’m not even a Christian, and I’m vomiting in my mouth on his behalf.

If I get time, I’m going to craft a response to this that has a picture of a Christmas stamp and a laundry list of all the violence perpetuated by Christians on innocent people (like, oh, say, the rabid pro-life Xian bombers, the good Christians who formed this nation by delivering small pox-infested blankets to the indigenous tribes of this land, slave owners who used the Bible to justify owning people as property and treating them accordingly, and OH YEAH the fucking Inquisition, bitches!). It'll be fun to blame an entire religion for the acts of a relative few, especially if I can get my racist on. Woot! [insert Dueling Banjos song here]

Meanwhile, enjoy. Or something.

The Muslims have nothing to offer civilization but violence.

Christmas stamp.....This is hard to believe.





USPS New Stamp

This one is impossible to believe. Scroll down for the text.


If there is only one thing you forward today.....let it be this!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of Pan Am Flight 103!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon !

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military Barracks in Saudi Arabia !

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa !

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001 !

REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!


Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class
Holiday postage stamp.

REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp
When purchasing your stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.

REMEMBER to pass this along to every Christian and / or Patriotic AMERICAN that
you know !!!

Sometimes I just want to go live in an imaginary world where people are all smart, well-read, accepting, attractive, creative and organized. Everyone knows how to cook, everyone has good taste, and they are open-minded, funny, intellectual and there is no such thing as formalwear or even office casual. No one works, everyone is wealthy and ideas are considered more precious than gold. In this special place they chat for hours over coffee, collaborate on interesting projects, there is plenty of time to read and people connect on a deep, meaningful level.

Sorry, I just couldn't think of any other comment to this post - it's too disgusting. Ugh.

It makes me sad. It just makes me sad. Why self-righteousness is confused with real Godly righteousness so many times. It just makes me sad.

Makes me want to go buy the stamp.

And P.S. There's actually a verse in Revelations about Jesus 'throwing up in his mouth a little.' ;)

When you compose the one about all of the things Christians have done, can you forward it to me. I am pretty sure my cousin's wife will forward this to me in about 48 hours and I want a good retort.
I guess I know what stamp I will be buying for my Chanukah cards this year.

I just want to say I'd like to go live where kimba goes.

Hatred breeding more hatred. Isn't that just fabulous? And I mean fabulous in that disgusting, sad, shaking my head kind of way.

Thank you for the congratulations!
He really did a great job. Although I would have said "yes" to a 10 cent ring he won at a Carni-booth while eating pork on a stick at the State Fair....this will make a much better story for the grandkids ;-)

Ughh, that's vile (and yet so predictable too). Hate mongers spewing hate? What a shocker!

It is a shame that people just forward things and believe things without really doing research. I am a Christian and I am the first to admit that we Christians have done a lot of really horrible things in the name of God and Jesus. And really as Christians we are called to be accepting of all...and non-judgmental.
