Proof (as if its needed) that Moonbats have no shame

The story below is probably one of the most egregious examples of moonbattery that I have ever seen. Parishoners arrive at church on Easter morning, with the intent to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus - a story of hope and peace, and one of the founding events in the formation of the Christian religion. They expected to leave church renewed in their faith, having received the blessing of the Word.

Instead, they had to endure six anti-war Moonbats screaming their trite slogans and flinging fake blood everywhere. Fake blood thrown in church, during a service where christians remember the blood spilled by Jesus Christ, his suffering, death, and resurrection.

What an odd way to win the hearts and minds of the public, especially the children who had to witness this travesty.

Moonbats have no respect for anything or anybody. They have no qualms about destroying the property of others. They don’t think twice about disrupting official meetings, solemn ceremonies, religious events, or the public’s quiet enjoyment of a nice walk in the park on a spring day. Why? They have a message they want the world to hear. It matters not whether it is the appropriate forum. Nor does it matter that they deliver their message in the form of stock phrases they learned by rote, with no follow-on thought.

They are like needy three-year-olds whose wants and desires are the only thing that’s important. Trying to reason with Moonbats or attempting to engage them in a frank dialogue on issues is impossible. The response to a logical question or a salient point is loud screaming – usually punctuated by clichés backed by no substance. A frustrated Moonbat is more likely to become violent than to engage in quiet contemplation.

Come to think of it, is there any substantive difference between a Moonbat and a fundamentalist terrorist? Both espouse an ideology that includes the downfall of the United States. Both are incapable of seeing any viewpoint other than their own. Both deploy anarchic tactics. Both act totally irrationally. Nope. No difference.



Chicago Police Arrest Six Iraq War Protesters for Squirting Fake Blood on Easter Churchgoers
Sunday , March 23, 2008

CHICAGO (AP)— Six Iraq war protesters disrupted an Easter Mass on Sunday, shouting and squirting fake blood on themselves and parishioners in a packed auditorium.

Three men and three women startled the crowd during Cardinal Francis George's homily, yelling "Even the Pope calls for peace" as they were removed from the Mass by security guards and ushers.

One Mass attendee, Mike Wainscott of Chicago, yelled at the anti-war protesters. "Are you happy with yourselves?" he said. "There were kids in there. You scared little kids with your selfish act. Are you happy now?"

The group, which calls itself Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, said in a statement after the arrests that they targeted the Holy Name Cathedral on Easter to reach a large audience, including Chicago's most prominent Catholic citizens and the press, which usually covers the services.

Kevin Clark of International Solidarity Movement told the Chicago Tribune that he attended the Mass to serve as a witness for the protesters.

"If Cardinal George is a man of peace and is walking the walk and talking the talk, he should have confronted George Bush and demanded an immediate end to the war," Clark said.

Speaking after the service, George said, "We should all work for peace, but not by interrupting the worship of God."

Police charged each of the six protesters with one count of felony criminal damage to property and two counts each of misdemeanor simple battery.

The six were scheduled to appear in bond court on Monday to face the felony charge, police said. They have court date set for March 31 on the misdemeanors.

San Francisco Petition to Ban Navy Fleet Week, Blue Angels, etc.

Yesterday I wrote about the multiple personalities of the "Liberal." Less than 24 hours later we have a prime example of two personalities emerging in the same news item. Ann Garrison, hereinafter "Ms. Moonbat" wants to place a petition on the San Francisco ballot to ban Fleet Week and the Blue Angels. Why? Because, according to her, the sole reason for the Navy to be there is to "recruit our struggling immigrant and inner city youth, and anyone else whom these displays of enormous lethal force might inspire to military enthusiasm, into the U.S. Armed Services, to fight imperial wars for the natural resources of poor nations mischaracterized as 'rogue states' because they have abundant natural resources, including uranium, but no nuclear weapons."

Hmmm. I wonder how many struggling immigrants and inner city youth show up each year to watch and end up being shanghaied? I remember in February 1975 a Navy recruiter bought me a beer at Baker's Tavern in North East, MD and the next thing I knew it was 2:30 am at Recruit Training Center Great Lakes, and some idiot was banging on the side of a galvanized trash can yelling "drop your c**ks and grab your socks, reveille." I didn't know those types of things still happened.

And, I wasn't aware that a country had to have abundant natural resources to qualify as a rogue state. Kazakhstan and Canada - you are on notice. You too Sweden. It's your own fault for claiming Abba as a national resource.

According to Ms. Moonbat, taxes should be diverted instead "to sane and constructive activity like education, environmental remediation, and other positive forms of collective self-care." Kumbaya, baby. Kumbaya. Focusing on collective self-care (whatever that is) will form an impenetrable shield against the next terrorist attack. Why didn't I think of that?

But, I ask, what is the long term goal in banning Fleet Week? To promote truly renewable energy infrastructure and "end the current horrid round of wars for dirty energy fuels, and circumvent the next resource war, for water, which will surely come [after] the dirty energy wars, which so damage and deplete the world's water resources. . ." Yes, now that you put it that way, it all makes sense.

Idiot. Check out the news report. http://www.ktvu.com/video/15590046/index.html


Make Fleet Week and Blue Angels Recruitment Unwelcome in San
Francisco

I just filed paper with the San Francisco Department of Elections, so as to begin collecting signatures to put an initiative on the November ballot, in San Francisco, that would make Fleet Week and the Blue Angels Air Show, etc., which are an all forces military recruitment drive, unwelcome in and around the City and County of San Francisco. A signature gathering drive will begin tonight at the Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign headquarters, 1260 Mission, between 7th and 8th, at 7:00
P.M.

Declaration of Policy: The voters of San Francisco declare the Blue Angels Air Shows and all other military demonstration shows, including the Canadian SnowBirds and the U.S. Army's Golden Knights Parachute Team, unwelcome in and around the City and County of San Francisco. These military demonstration teams come here every year to recruit our struggling immigrant and inner city youth, and anyone else whom these displays of enormous lethal force might inspire to military enthusiasm, into the U.S. Armed Services, to fight imperial wars for the natural resources of poor nations mischaracterized as "rogue states" because they have abundant natural resources, including uranium, but no nuclear weapons. These resource wars that the military demonstration shows recruit for are currently misharacterized as the "Global War on Terrorism." The voters of San Francisco declare that our hard-earned federal and municipal taxes, and the energies of all our young people, shall be devoted, instead, to sane and constructive activity like education, environmental remediation, and other positive forms of collective self-care. The voters of San Francisco also declare that our taxes and the energies of our youth should circumvent the need for these annual military recruitment demonstrations of enormously lethal force by building a truly renewable energy infrastructure---solar, tidal, and wind. Truly renewable clean energy infrastructure will end the current horrid round of wars for dirty energy fuels, and circumvent the next resource war, for water, which will surely come the dirty energy wars, which so damage and deplete the world's water resources, continue.
