That's what bigotry and hate lead to. if you have an AIPAC going around sowing bigotry and hatred against Muslims, eventually some of that is going to land right back in their laps. Pots calling kettles black rarely works out well...

C'mon, the heathen were taken of the plane for the safety of the real Christian folk on the plane. If The God of Real American Christian Folk is in a foul mood (and let's face it things aren't exactly going His Way these days, what with Mel Gibson having to apologize and the Kansas Board of Education losing all of its Intelligent Designers...even The Pope has been somewhat mellow) and gets in one of those smitin' snits He's fond of, there's no telling what sort of calamity might follow.
ReplyDeleteJust as He's hearing all of them Real Christian Prayers about having a safe and smooth flight and please don't lose my luggage and then He hears some heathen gibberish...boom! there goes Flight 2694 Real Christian Folk and all.

Not that the Great Penguin really bestirs himself to assist anyhow, he's too busy slumbering from his last big mean of herring :-(.
ReplyDeleteThis is assuming that the State has not by that time classified all penguins as potential terrorists and put them on the no-fly list of course. And that the airline crew doesn't evict me for being an obvious penguin in the midst of a band of hairless feces-flinging hooting howling chimpanzees.
