Memo from the Propaganda Underground, ctd

Real Men should head to church kitted-out for a serious firefight!!

According to the Godly men at Oath Keepers, ISIS is coming for your church, and you had better be prepared.

1. Go armed to church. You must all be armed, since you can’t reason with a jihadist. You can’t “negotiate” with him. The only way to change his mind is with a bullet. I recommend a reliable semi-automatic, high capacity handgun of at least 9mm caliber for that task, such as a Glock or Smith and Wesson M&P, with at least one spare magazine.

2. Carry a backup gun, and/or a no-nonsense fixed blade knife as a backup, carried within easy reach of both your hands (carry it up front near your belt buckle, like this one , this one , this one, or this one ). A fixed blade is superior to a folder, and provides a surer draw and deployment under stress – grab and stab.

3. Have a couple shotguns (at least) discretely hidden within the church but within easy reach of members of the security team and make sure they are well trained in how to use them.

4. Wear soft body armor under your suit . Do keep in mind that if they attack with rifles, such as AK-47s, those rifle rounds will easily defeat soft body armor, and you would need rifle plates to stop that threat, but since it is highly unlikely you are actually going to wear plate armor during service, at the least wear some hidden soft armor. However, dedicated security teams staged outside in vehicles may be able to get away with wearing light-weight minimalist plate carriers and rifle plates.

[ … ]

8. All competent adults in the congregation should be armed . Encourage others in the congregation to also go armed, get trained, and to join the security team. Get them all trained and practiced in working together, and prepare yourselves for what is coming.

Well … I dunno. Frankly, Baptists hell-bent on ‘fellowshipping’ with me ratchet-up my anxiety levels so high that it would probably be unwise for me to be armed in church. And that’s before the Holy Man commences howling and bellowing about how everybody is no damn good.

Your tax dollars at work, ctd

The Portland diocese settles with some of the abuse victims of its priests.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has settled a lawsuit for $1.2 million with six sexual abuse victims of a former priest.

[ … ]

According to a press release from Garabedian’s office, the Portland diocese, which oversees all Catholic parishes in Maine, had knowledge of multiple accusations of abuse against Vallely but did not remove him from the ministry. Instead, Vallely was transferred to other parishes, including St. Dominic’s in Portland and St. Michael’s in South Berwick.

The mind-boggling ignorance of the Trumpsters

I swear, the smug ignorance of this bunch takes my breath away sometimes.

Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson has once again blamed President Obama for something that happened years before he took office.

Remember how Pierson blamed Obama for Captain Humayun Khan‘s death in 2004? Well, on CNN this morning, as she was arguing with anchor Victor Blackwell about Trump’s “founder of ISIS” remark, Pierson actually said, “Remember, we weren’t even in Afghanistan by this time. Barack Obama went into Afghanistan, creating another problem.”
