Bill Maher Rages At Christian Hypocrites

I would like to add MY story to this wonderful commentary by Bill Maher.  (Which can be seen by clicking the link at the bottom.)

My first hand example of being exposed to such people.   . . . .

 I am an entertainer.  I do magic and balloons at restaurants as well as at parties.  Last week I was working at a restaurant doing magic and balloons at the tables.  One of the tables only had a few people, a couple of kids, too, so I assumed not everyone was there yet.  While they were waiting for others to arrive I decided to go over and make balloons for the kids that were there.  The woman at the table rudely said they did not want me there.  So I left but said if they change their minds to let me know.  Later that evening one of the wait people told me that the table in question wanted me to come over.  I made balloons animals for all the kids.  Now, I thought maybe something was a "little different" about these people because the older girl was wearing a very plain blouse and a plain skirt down to her feet.  One of the other younger girls looked, well, kind of like someone from "Deliverance.  Maybe a little inbred.  Hate to say that, but that was my impression.  The only man at the table was wearing a cowboy hat.  

Well, after they all got balloons I started doing a little magic for them.  When I made bunnies appear in the older girl's hand she looked scared and said that they didn't believe in magic.  I tried to explain to the kids AND the adults that this is NOT magic, it is simply tricks and entertainment, like when they go to the movies, Superman can't REALLY fly!  They would have no part of it.  

Then as a "TIP" the older girl gave me a little pamphlet.  The man in the cowboy hat said it was about Jesus.  Not being TOO RUDE I just put it on the table, said "no", and walked away.  I then went to the next table and everyone was laughing and enjoying my entertainment.  Looking back at the table full of sad faces, all I could think was what a shame that these kids must grow up with fear as their guide in life.  Oh, and that attempting to convert me instead of tipping me is there way of saying thank you.  Sick.  Sorry, I have no patience for these people.  Go drink your cool-aid.

Denial-of-service tool targeting Healthcare.gov site discovered

Tea Bagger Repugs have always been willing to cut their noses off to spite their faces. . . . They had rather live in a ruined country than admit they were wrong.

Gay marriage to become legal in Illinois

Looks like the dominoes are starting to fall, huh.  Or maybe a better analogy would be that the Tea Party's house of cards are starting to fall. . . . Oh, and the archaic Religious Right (which should be called the Religious Wrong) will soon loose to science and reason and go the way of the dinosaur.
