A "friend" on Facebook said that Beck's rally was all about returning to "Godly Principles".

[driver8]

WTF??

What is wrong with these people?

"Godly Principles"? Like lying, cheating, stealing, killing...?

That's about all I've seen from the right wing.

1. It's nice for them to put a bow around what I detest. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

2. You need better facebook friends

[driver8]

6. Old friend from college who tracked me down.

I would love to "de-friend" him, but it would stir up a shit storm.

For now, I just ignore his posts (or try to).

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. Fuck that. To me, RW bullshit means instant defriending, no matter who.

Well, maybe if it's your current boss, it would be wise to use stealth hiding instead.

[EstimatedProphet]

27. Actually, you can hide the posts too

I do that a lot with people I'd rather not see crap from, and those damn farmville alerts.

3. Gagly

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[driver8]

5. Ha Ha -- perfect! n/t

[Denninmi]

4. Hypocrites.

I think the Beck rally was designed to serve the same purpose as the 1936 Munich Olympics -- to put a "kinder, gentler" face on a fascist ideology and make it more palatable to the general public.

The Saturday fox love fest was nominally to raise money for charity, IF it made a profit. What are the odds that this charity for service men and women ever sees a dime?

7. I didn't know God was a bigoted asshole and a moran..

[RainDog]

8. what's wrong with them? they're fascists. your "friend" is a fascist

that's the truth of the matter in this case.

people should understand what they promote - and, in the case of your friend, that person is promoting fascism.

[w8liftinglady]

9. yeah...I have" friends" like that,too.....you have my condolences.

:pals:

10. I finally had to "de-friend" someone I went to high school with

because of her attitude towards President Obama. We got into a "discussion" back on Memorial Day when the President attended the ceremony at the national cemetary in Illinois. She was incensed that he had not attended the Arlington ceremony and went on and on about how he wasn't fit to be president, etc. I let it go for a while but a few weeks ago she started posting crap about how much vacation the President has taken and more garbage about how she hates him for being president. I decided I didn't care; life is too short to have to deal all the time with right-wing idiots. I imagine that she is posting similar sentiments about the Beck-a-thon, Godly principals and all.

[EFerrari]

11. Godly principles like keeping the Bush tax cuts.

lol

[SugarShack]

12. When religion ruled the world, they called it The Dark Ages

be very afraid....

[arcane1]

13. You should ask if magic underwear is one of those principles n/t

[tanyev]

14. The gods of Kolob?

[pinboy3niner]

15. Shouldn't that be 'Goldy principles'--as in overpriced coins? nt

[Hawkowl]

16. Mormon principles

Try telling her that.

[glinda]

20. You know what he and Plain have in common don't you? They both believe in

the new "Israel" or whatever it is called, being built in the USA. I thought I read it was to be in either Alaska or Washington DC.

[mod mom]

22. Ask her if the angel Moroni is beckoning her toward Mormonism.

[14thColony]

17. Speaking of FB friends and fascist rallies...

A FB "friend" tagged me in a picture from the rally, a pic of a bunch of people "spontaneously" unfurling a massive homemade American flag on the steps of what I think's the Lincoln Memorial. Problem: I live in England so I probably would have remembered being there.

[Bonhomme Richard]

18. Godly principles like survival of the fittest. n/t

[Bonhomme Richard]

19. And so goes the problem. He has his own private version of

what Godly principles are...........and they don't include you.

[EC]

21. When did all those people that were there lose their

godly principles? The only ones that would be effected would be the ones there...so I guess if they needed to renew their beliefs okay...good for them...me I don't need it...

[driver8]

23. That's a good question! I'm going to ask him... n/t

[jobycom]

25. Maybe. Although Beck was all about becoming the God in that equation.

And we can argue forever over what "Godly" means, just as people always have.

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. They can't return to Godly principles

anymore than gay people can return to a straight life.

[gophates]

28. Godly principles like using Goldline to buy all your gold

And buying BecKKK branded merchandise.

[GeorgeGist]

29. You might askyour 'friend' ...

Why didn't God attend?
