And on the third day, God created the Remington bolt action rifle so that Man could fight the dinosaurs. And the homosexuals. Amen. Amen.
As all good Christians know, God created the world and the universe 10,000 years ago (give or take a few weeks, allowing for leap years and work stoppages) but He waited until after He got done killing all of the dinosaurs and the unicorns before He created America, the greatest country there will ever be. Amen.
For God so loved America that He allowed Americans to upgrade the lowly muzzle-loading musket with laser sights and pistol grips and cop-killing bullets and extended clips because, if man is truly going to evolve, he needs enough precision rapid-fire stopping power to weed out the weak… and possibly a few onlookers who aren’t quick enough to take cover. Natural selection, y’all.
Now if you didn’t already know all of this, Sarah Palin (who, as a shooter, couldn’t hit water if she fell out of a boat) is here to remind us that God would be very unhappy with us if we screwed up and maybe start restricting the availability of cheap high-powered easily obtainable weaponry:
“How important it is, for the [AZ victims] sake, for America’s sake, that we do not allow the evil acts of one mentally deranged murderer [to] change America’s way of life. We must not allow this tragedy to stifle our constitutionally protected rights, including our Second Amendment rights. Beware of what’s coming. I really do believe that God has shed his grace on thee. We can’t blow it. We can’t allow an atrophy of the foundation that is America, that is so exceptional.”
And God will only shed his grace on us (thee and me) for the low low price of an occasional nine year-old girl “freedom sacrifice”. That alone is what makes us exceptional in God’s eyes.
Bless His heart.

And bless you for giving credit where due – I was just admiring the image created by that “couldn’t hit water…” phrasing when I read your credit to Tommy LaSorda.
You’re an honorable man, TBogg.
Unlike the subject of your post. (I saw LO’D try to make it through that word salad….yuck, never mind the merits)
Remington’s have a tendency to go off unexpectedly. You can count on the stupid lady to go off, consistently but with much less accuracy. Too.
Beware of what’s coming. I really do believe that God has shed his grace on thee. We can’t blow it. We can’t allow an atrophy of the foundation that is America
Good God almighty, is she trying to create unintentional semen jokes?
If Sarah Palin were Canadian she’d be defending this company.
I’m not even being facetious.
“How important it is, for the [AZ victims] sake, for America’s sake, that we do not allow the evil acts of one mentally deranged murderer [to] change America’s way of life.” Funny how that applies only to the second amendment. One terrorist attack and the first and fourth amendments were fair game with nary a peep from Ms. Snowtrash.
Sarah, I thought you said the guns were only props to raise money?
The “Tea Partiers claim the guns show their “Patriotic Pride in being an American!”
But, apparently, that only works if they are really, really deadly weapons?
btw, the Constitution never mentions bullets.
…or “ammo clips”.
Oh, the Safari Club speech. I was gonna go, but my jodhpurs hadn’t come back from the dry cleaners.
Who the fuck are these people?
Doesn’t she know she’ll be one of the first one’s (Along with the Sirius Cybernetics Crew) up against it when the revolution comes?
And tell Mrs. Tbogg that the weather here is almost going to be bad enough for her to come and get another puppy.
That is one sentence, that is incomprehensible, that is not allowed to be exceptional, that is atrophying my brain. Foundation that. That.
But if only America’s foundations would get smaller with atrophication. But we could fix it with Spudnut moments.
Foundations can atrophy? Concrete blocks and mortar go all sclerotic and creaky when they just sit around without exercising?
Who knew?
Wait…maybe we should just wait a while longer and they’ll calcify!
Yeah, whew. That’s the ticket.
Ain’t nature grand?
The part about creating the Remington blot action to fight the dinosaurs and the homosexuals actually is in the bible. http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-edition-of-bible-specifically-mentions-second,17882/ But God didn’t create shit ten thousand years ago. It was October 23, 4004. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/ussher.html And what God did on the seventh day, when everyone else was resting, was create Basset Hounds.
They give her key words (“atrophy” “foundation” “America” “exceptional”) and she strings them together like a mental patient making a necklace. “Great! Now use ALL the beads, Sarah!”
1) I clicked on the link, by the way, just to make sure the bit in brackets wasn’t being taken out of context.
But no. She really did say that we need to keep America a free-fire zone for the sake of the people who were killed in Arizona.
2) “My heart of course aches for the families of those who lost their lives at the hands of a deranged evil criminal, OK …”
“OK.” Yes. She said “OK.” As in “Yeah, my heart aches for the families, now get off my back.”
And our winner:
3) “Here’s how I figure it. Remember that weird guy in Wisconsin was so angry, so upset, watching a Palin win slot after slot each week on Dancing with the Stars that he shot Bristol through his TV? He blasted his Panasonic? Well, I’m thinking, ‘Imagine more gun control. Then he’d have to attack his Panasonic with a butter knife.’”
Um, someone SHOT the televised image of her daughter and now she’s trying to say it was no big deal? OK, I knew she was a moron, but I didn’t know until now that you’re willing to endanger your own family for the sake of a “laugh” line at a speaking engagement.
Oh, what am I saying? She’ll have no problem pivoting around and crying about her “family being under attack” when that’s what’ll benefit her in the situation facing her.
Thanks for the quote from the movie “Mean Girls,” about the Remington rifle. I drag that out every time the subject of home schooling comes up (as it often does here Behind the Zion Curtain; Utah for the Gentiles. Yes, the state lege is voting right now to approve our state gun!).
Sssshhh… don’t nobody tell Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley…
I know this is going nowhere, but really, the second amendment needs to be repealed. It’s certainly outlived its usefulness, especially since the NRA et al have corrupted the original intent that provided for state militias.
?? I guess Washington U isn’t one of Sarah’s alma maters.
And on the fourth day, God created the Remington Patch for both the rifle and the shotgun, thus converting them to faster-firing weapons.
God created the universe 10,000 years ago?
It wasn’t a day more than 5,000 years. Heretic.
The Tommy Lasorda Kurt Bevacqua rant! Now that brings back some memories. And how on earth did a guy with a career line of .236/.305/.327 manage to play 15 years in the bigs? I guess (as with Palin) talent isn’t everything. Is this a great country or what?
The big question though is when the Tea Party People will get their Ray Kroc – “I have never seen such stupid ballplaying in my life!” moment?
