Texas is one of the special states, they are individualistic, hardworking and have managed to elect one of the most loopy Governors in the world. Organizing a prayer rally to help the nation. Err…
“Gov. Rick Perry called on Jesus to bless and guide the nation’s military and political leaders and “those who cannot see the light in the midst of all the darkness.””
Rather than attending to policy, you know his JOB, Mr.Perry is calling on the higher power that be to fix things in America through the power of prayer. I’m thinking they should burn a witch or two, just to set the right tone as to which century their beliefs belong in.
I’m going to agree with Thunderf00t, a little more time spent doing tangible things in the real world trumps wasting your time praying for the good omens of the magic sky daddy.
Oh and more on Rick Perry –

Texas is my home State. It is a wonderful place with a good economy.
With that said, I really do not see how the affairs of my State are the business of some interloping, arrogant, presumptuous, rude, God-hating, insignificant little atheist canadian wench. Oh, how I speak the truth when I say that Texans couldn’t care less what lil’ ole Arby has to say concerning their GREAT State.

I love Texas. Also, I know many highly trained, well educated, and very capable people who moved there from our interloping, arrogant, presumptuous, rude, God-hating, insignificant little atheistic secular socialist country to practice medicine in that great state.
But I can’t think of what’s been going on the Lone Star state without recalling my time spent on a sheep ranch in Australia a while back that was bigger than the state of Texas. The rancher thought its Ovis Aries inhabitants probably had about the same congregant IQ, too. Although I disagreed at the time, I think perhaps I was too hard on the sheep.

Your incivility (as well as the famous christian compassion), as well as lack of comprehension (as usual), is noted.

Now you speak of all Texans? The state is in more trouble that I feared.
I really do not see…
Probably the intellectually honest and useful thing you’ve said so far in your auspicious stay here. If you are feeling a little butt-hurt about people being mean to your imaginary friend I really cannot help that. Delusional ideas need to be criticized and mocked precisely because of the damage they cause in a purportedly civil and modern society. Clinging to fairy-tales, no matter how special they make you feel, is irrational behaviour.
If the flavour of discourse here is really that disagreeable, then I guess the question that needs asked is why do you come back for more lambasting? Other than maybe….

There are pockets of sanity I’m told within Texas. I’m sure the average Texan is not as befuddled as Mr.Perry as that would take a great deal of being dropped on ones noodle when young.
Unrepublican is not making the above assertion easy to prove.

I am fed up. The gloves are coming off, Arby.
You presume, yet again, that I am a christian.
Well, for your information, I am not. I am a DEIST. You know, along the lines of Franklin, Einstein, Darwin, Aristotle,Twain, Plato, Hawking, and many more. Oh, what a simpleton I must be!
Also, I did not say that I speak for Texas, and you know it you exaggerating little turd. I said I speak the truth.
Also, I keep coming back to refute you generalizations and lies.
Also, you continue to exalt your own opinions above those who believe differently, based off your own personal interpretations.
Not very open minded or progressive, lil’ Arby.
BTW, I am getting hungry. How ’bout fixing me a sammich. Roast beef and horsey sauce, thank you.

“I am fed up. The gloves are coming off, Arby.”
Oh boy. The moron is getting angry over the interwebs. Very scary.
” I am a DEIST.”
You are an idiot.
“Oh, what a simpleton I must be!”
Got one thing right. Good work.
“Also, … Also, … Also, … How ’bout fixing me a sammich.”
quack quack quack.
Say something with substance and you will get a proper response. Quick tip: Claiming “I speak the truth” doesn’t actually gain you any credibility.

The only presumption I am making is that you are not very good at arguing or defending what you believe in.

Inappropriate self disclosure, although not an exclusive trait of Narcissistic personality disorder it is one of the factors considered. Along with , “React[ing] to criticism with rage, shame, or humiliation” and “Disregard the feelings of others, and have little ability to feel empathy.” I think 4 of the nine qualities at least qualifies you to be on the spectrum.
Pathology aside, going off the chain and frothing at people does not make you or your arguments any more credible.
TUR: Also, I did not say that I speak for Texas,
Earlier TUR: Oh, how I speak the truth when I say that Texans couldn’t care less
If you’re going to confabulate at least try to do it in a different thread, making the quote harder to find.
Also, I keep coming back to refute you generalizations and lies.
To refute an assertion, one must first address said assertion and then provide argumentation (usually based on evidence) to say why x is wrong. To date, this process has mostly not happened in regards to what I have proposed.

Your capacity for unintentional irony is off the charts, so full marks for that.
