The Biggest 'Tard in America

And the winner is . . .

Michael Newdow!

This was a tough post to write initially just because there are so many ‘tards to choose from. Ted Kennedy, both Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, Cyndi Sheehan, the entire ACLU, I hardly knew where to start! Then I saw this headline:

Michael Newdow Sues to Have “In God We Trust” Taken Off of US Currency.

That settled it.

The same reject who is about to get his legal clock cleaned at the Supreme Court when his attempt to have the words “Under God” banished from the Pledge of Allegiance is now trying to have OUR NATIONAL MOTTO removed from our currency. The next step, of course, is to try to get the courts to force us to change our national motto to something atheistic just to please a vast minority of Americans.

Not only do some 85% of Americans call themselves Christian, around 95% profess some kind of belief in God or gods. Surprise folks! This makes America a very religious nation! It is only natural that a religious nation SHOULD acknowledge God in some general way, and in a Nation that is 85% Christian it is only natural that this nation would acknowledge God in the Judeo-Christian sense specifically.

Are we not “The nation of the people, by the people, for the people”? Are we not a representative republic designed to reflect the values, opinions, and beliefs of the majority of our citizens? This being the case what gives a fraction of the 5% of the country who are Atheists the right to assault our religious heritage? Not the Constitution, that’s for damn sure!

It was Baptist theology stating that man should have no king other than Jesus as much as it was “No taxation without representation” that sparked and fueled the Revolutionary war. It was the Bible that was referenced, though not directly quoted, when the Declaration of independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights were drafted and ratified. It was the Bible, and the Ten Commandments in particular, that was used to give the US our first laws as an independent nation; the laws that named murder, theft, adultery, sodomy, and most of the rest of our earliest outlawed activities. Anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or a liar.

Michael Newdow is a man on a mission to deny us our heritage, and he is doing mostly on his own, with moral support from organizations like the ACLU.

He had this ridiculous claim to make: “My organization wants to raise funds, but we can’t because we don’t believe in God and ‘In God We Trust’ is printed on our money. That’s discriminating against Atheists.” In almost precisely those words.

WHAT? He can’t have money because his Atheism won’t allow him to have it because God is on it? What an amazing ‘tard!

Wait, it gets better!

HE’S ASKING FOR MONETARY DONATIONS FROM PEOPLE TO PAY HIS LEGAL BILLS THAT HE IS INCURRING BY PERSUING THIS FARCE!

So he can’t raise money because “In God We Trust” is on our money, and that’s discrimination against Atheists, but he’s raising money anyway so he can get our national motto banned? How stupid does he think we are? The fact that he is raising money at all totally invalidates his argument!

Of course, being a Californian, he will almost certainly win his case all the way up to the federal appeals court level. Then he will get smacked down with extreme derision at the Supreme Court. Then again, if the activists judges out in California decide to respect Supreme Court precedent he will get smacked down at every level, and waste all of his time and money fighting the bad fight and losing.

If he comes out of this thing totally broke I won’t be able to contain my laughter.

So, for these reasons I crown Michael Newdow the biggest ‘tard in America, at least until someone even more retarded makes the news.
