All you Christian warriors out there best make ready for battle! Sean Hannity and the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue are now claiming that there is a war on Easter. “Oh no!” you say. “Who would do such a thing?” Why, Lady Gaga, comedian Ricky Gervais, and a few other dastardly demons—that’s who.
I even heard it through the grapevine that the CEO of Easter Bunnies, Inc., is hopping mad. I was told that he’s organized his bunny brigade and worked in co-operation with the president of Hatchling Chicks Corporation to devise a plan to go after anti-Easterites like Lady Gaga and Gervais.
Get your trebuchets ready! I’ll bring eggs. We’re planning to meet in Mister MacGregor’s garden tomorrow at the first light of dawn. We’ll shell the hard-boiled enemies of Easter ova and ova again until they surrender. They won’t know what hit them.
Are you ready to join me and my fellow warriors?

Dingleberry,
“How many businesses have run to Connecticut? I’ll bet if the Connecticut police set up road blocks w/o warning they would catch a lot of people w/o insurance and I am sure they would tell you that.”
Well, you just found yourself something to do then – let me know how you make out. I’ll be waiting with bated breath …
“Get a life! You already showed your stupidity above and can’t run from it because I will keep reminding you of it!””
Blah, blah, blah … yawn.

Seems to me that with Connecticut’s strict standards, we’re the smart ones because no one can register their vehicle without proof of insurance and proof of motor vehicle taxes being paid in full.
How many cancel their insurance after showing proof? How many use photoshop to make their own? Hah Hah hah

Also, I am hearing there are a lot of illegal immigrants in your state. Get ready to pay more in taxes for schooling, WIC, and healthcare. Oh I forgot to mention uninsured motorist insurance.
Poor lil’ Bambi.

I like your choice of words: Catholics instead of Christians. I hear more people ask are you Christian or Catholic and do not realize they are the same.
Dingleberry,
“Stamford Liberal
Are you that dumb? Millions of people along the Southwestern border are driving w/o insurance and they do not register their vehicles when it comes due. Therefore, I am right and your stubborness in accepting it is even more funny. HAH HAH”
No, child, but obviously you are. Just because the State of TexASS doesn’t ensure that people properly insure and register their vehicles doesn’t make me dumb – it makes TexASS dumb. Particularly if your allegation is taken into account that it is so “easy” to produce fraudulent insurance documents. Seems to me that with Connecticut’s strict standards, we’re the smart ones because no one can register their vehicle without proof of insurance and proof of motor vehicle taxes being paid in full.
“I am in Texas and we have almost 30 million people that have been counted but there are probably thousands who have not been counted and collect all kinds of benfits especially free healthcare because they show up at the hospital and the hospital is forbidden by federal law to turn them in. We just had over 70 businesses relocate here from California and it generated over 1 million jobs. That is what liberal policies will do.”
You posted your little story like I’m supposed to care what happens in TexASS …
Mike,
You mean there is no war on Easter?
Elaine,
Was that a video of Intelligent spaghetti monster design??
Bill Donahue and Sean Hannity are a supreme embarrassment to Catholics. Period. They understand nothing about Catholic doctrine or apologetics and should not be relied upon by any serious persons when they purport to speak about religion.

maybe you and samford liberal ought to have a pity party. Anybody who thought that government laws prevents people from registering a car or get driver’s license showed their ignorance. HAH HAH HAH

I trust government to screw up our country and based on the present circumstances, I am probably right.

I asked you a simple question and you respond with Philoshophical answer that most that the commoner would go Huh? You either trust government or you don’t. I don’t!
########################################
No, I do not either trust or not trust government. To me, that is a false dichotomy. Government is a construct, a name for a human activity regarding social organization.
In my life experiences so far, I often observe that individual people who have very low levels of trust tend to be people who cannot effectively trust themselves, and thereby also cannot wisely be trusted by others.
So, I can trust the people working in our present government institutions to do some things I regard as wisely done and I can trust the same people to do things I regard as wisely not done.
If one either trusts or distrusts and trust and mistrust are mutually exclusive, then trust is bivalent, either 0 or 1. Such is not compatible with my life experiences.
How can a person who does not trust government govern his or her beliefs or actions, because not trusting government includes not trusting self-government?

Otteray,

Ramen, brother!!
Amen to what OS said!

Just because Connecticut has strict standards doesn’t mean it is the same for the whole country. Therefore you are wrong. Ialso like your choice of words. May God have mercy on your soul.”
Dingleberry, I’m willing to bet that Connecticut isn’t the only state to have such standards. How does my refuting your idiocy make me wrong? Posting in CAPS and using fifty exclamation points does not make you right – it just confirms that you’re a fool.
At any rate, I’m not sure where you are but I suspect TexASS, which would go a looooong way in explaining your obvious malfunctions …
Your “concern” for my soul is duly noted but totally unnecessary … my soul is just fine …
Jim:
May the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on your sauce. rAmen.
