Holy pachyderms GOPUSA ILLINOIS EDITOR! I literally had to wait to stop laughing before I could type. After last week I needed this fine report of VERY SAD BUT NOT SURPRISING spin news….
David John Diersen is on to the Demoncrats’ evil plan to oust elephant dung from parade routes all across America:
DIERSEN HEADLINE: VERY SAD BUT NOT SURPRISING: It seems that Democrat Chicago Alderwoman Mary Ann Smith wants to ban elephants, the symbol of the Republican Party, from America. Smith complains about elephant abuse. Because no Republican would ever abuse an elephant, she must be complaining about Democrats.
Yep. Must be. Well, them or those silly John Birchies.
After you’ve stopped ROFLYAO could someone please explain to me how an Alderwoman from one city could possibly ban an animal, any animal, from the entire country?
…Or at least you’d think so given your GOPUSA ILLINOIS editor Dave Diersen’s way over the top headline in today’s news with a bias round-up. Now sure, Mr. Diersen is as conservative a partisan as you can get. He’s constantly railing against Republicans who don’t follow (to a T) his version of things… And, it is Congressman Hyde’s arch-conservative successor Rep. Peter Roskam who introduced some language honoring the late Congressman’s life and legacy.
But really, is it “historic” legislation that Rep. Roskam introduced? No one has ever passed away and been honored by Congress in the past 231 years? From Mr. Diersen’s hyperbole:
Roskam introduces historic legislation honoring the life and legacy of Congressman Henry J. Hyde
Read the rest of the claptrap if you’re feeling blue and need a good laugh…
Your GOP USA ILLINOIS EDITOR David John Diersen is outraged that I explained, using the conserv-o-partisans’ own logic, that he is a) anti-Christian, b) anti-Semitic, and c) labeled Jesus as being a Socialist*.
Again, I simply applied the conserv-o-partisans’ own logic about “anti-Christian bigots” and “anti-Semitism” and to Mr. Diersen’s own writings calling a rise in influence among Christian and Jewish leaders and laypeople an “UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY”.
Now, it seems to be the case that Mr. Diersen believes he is neither “anti-Christian” nor “anti-Semitic”.
Then perhaps the conserv-o-partisans’ claptrap “logic” — labeling anyone, even the faithful, who oppose them politically as “anti-Christian” or “anti-Semitic” — is faulty. Perhaps it is even outrageously faulty at that.
Ya think?
* - Again, using the conserv-o-partisan “logic” — which Mr. Diersen appears to be backhandedly arguing is faulty to begin with — Mr. Diersen did indeed call Christ a socialist since he referred to some on “the left” who make that claim.
Yet, Mr. Diersen didn’t bother providing evidence of such leaving the reader with the implication that referring to Christ as a socialist is somehow “bad” despite the fact that many of Christ’s teachings are mirrored in pure-bred socialism policies — compassion for all, social justice, egalitarianism, rejection of greed, pacificism, and more. (I distinguish “pure-bred” from dictatorial crackpots who simply use socialism as a policy means to obtain and maintain power, much the same way Republicans have warped conservatism over the past several decades for the same purposes. But somehow I doubt that Mr. Diersen will grasp that important distinction.)
Perhaps Mr. Diersen needs to read the Acts of the Apostles (he might want to sit down first):
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
A community being of one heart and one mind? None of them claiming anything as his own but holding everything commonly together? Redistribution of goods such that no one has any need?
…What other political philosophy that starts with “comm-” does that sound like? I wonder, though actually reading the New Testament does help clarify just why some folks might consider Jesus the Christ to be the first socialist…
UPDATE: Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter calls Catholics “devils” because they disagree with his unpopular No vote on the bipartisan SCHIP compromise. Since when did the GOP become so full of “anti-Christian bigots“.
Classy.
Sadly, David John Diersen did not appreciate the fact that I called a spade a spade yesterday by pointing out that his reference to a rise in the influence of Christians as an “UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY” was, in fact, anti-Christian.
Perhaps Mr. Diersen missed that session of conserv-o-logic studies at Partisan Playschool so I shall explain:
- Mr. Diersen claimed a rise in Christian influence is an “UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY” when he wrote… “WALL STREET JOURNAL — UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY: The Rise of the “Religious Left” - Steven Malanga” (emphasis added to highlight the portion of that phrase which is Mr. Diersen’s opinion of the information in the WSJ article)
- Because the subjects of that WSJ article include Christians, Mr. Diersen opposes them, calling their influence in the public sphere an “UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY”
- Ergo, Mr. Diersen is anti-Christian — he opposes Christians
- This, friends, is based on the conservatives’ own logic in applying such labels, as evidenced again this week by none other than Mr. Diersen’s fellow Illinois Reviewer, Fran Eaton. (In fact, using the logic of other conserv-o-partisans like Anne Leary, Mr. Diersen is also clearly anti-Semitic since rabbis and Jewish folks are also discussed in that WSJ article and Mr. Diersen also opposes those rabbis)
Outrageously, Mr. Diersen fails to recognize this and instead upped the ante today by whining that he thinks, “The Religious Left outrageously promotes socialism and outrageously argues that Jesus is a socialist.”
Considering the many ways in which Christ promoted an egalitarian, compassionate and communal society it’s clear that the strong moral responsibilities we each hold for one another (ie, united we stand) and which run throughout the ideology of progressivism and liberalism share a direct relation to Christ’s teachings whether Mr. Diersen labels Christ a “socialist” or not.
More to the point, despite Mr. Diersen’s claims of today, not all “Religious Folks and ‘Christians’ oppose socialism” (by “socialism” I take it that Mr. Diersen is implying “the Left” as so many conserv-o-partisans constantly do).
The words Democrat and Republican are not found anywhere in the Bible, not even the King James Version. All are equal in the Eyes of the Lord; and none are without sin, Mr. Diersen.
It is blasphemous for any mortal to declare who is or is not Christian, simply based on partisan politics. Christ didn’t say, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; unless they are socialists, liberals or progressives. Then you may hinder them” … as Mr. Diersen so clearly would in his anti-Christian zealotry.
UPDATE: Mr. Diersen still not grasping the concept…
In today’s “GOPUSA ILLINOIS DAILY CLIPS – OCTOBER 17, 2007” compendium of news and commentary with a decidedly Dave Diersen-esque spin… we learn that Mr. Diersen thinks the Wall Street Journal article entitled “The Rise of the ‘Religious Left‘” describes, in Mr. Diersen’s words, an “UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY“.
It seems odd that any self-proclaimed holder of “conservative” values would think the rise of any religious group would be a “tragedy”, let alone an unmitigated one.
Do those conservative values include ignoring, even ostracizing, other Christians and calling a rise in their influence a “tragedy”?
This sort of foul hypocrisy borders on blasphemy as mere mortals and sinners such as Mr. Diersen attempt to divine who is or is not worthy of God’s Grace and Love; and they do so based on base politics of all things.
Unfortunately, the only “unmitigated disaster” here is that such questioning of political opponents’ faith is simply Par. For. The. Sad. Sad. Course. (no, Really.) from conservative partisans who would rather protect the Republican Party than accept that Christians may hold values other than those reflected in today’s Republican leadership. Values such as compassion, responsibility, equality, forethought, and the like which all too often are clearly missing from what’s left of the modern Repub Party thanks to mishandling by its elected leaders.
Thus, it is unfortunately unsurprising that a precinct captain, partisan activist, and conservative “editor” would choose to denigrate Christians — proving yet again that the party of “moral values” is Orwellian at best, and blasphemous hypocrites at worst.
What would Jesus do, indeed.
UPDATE: Mr. Diersen tries to explain away his anti-Christian statement… yet only succeeds in diving further into the depths of blasphemy.
Defender of all that is GOPious, your GOP USA ILLINOIS editor Davediersen has called upon Republicans one and all to contribute their almight dollars to the effort to bring Big Queenie the “full grown Asian female gentle elephant” to the Wheaton Independence Day Parade.
Most sadly, the DuPage Republicans have failed to recognize Robnesvacil’s call to have the party change its symbol from an elephant to a hippo in honor of its recently quite strong streak of hypocrisy. They appear to do so at their own peril.
And here those crusty ol’ partisan conservatives thought we Illinois Reasoners didn’t have a sense o’ humor. Here’s hoping your GOPUSA Illinois editor David John Diersen got some friendly giggles from it too. (By the way, beyond being a precinct captain in Wheaton, I don’t think Diersen actually has any affiliation with the actual Illinois GOP. In fact, in reading his daily alerts, he’s often barred from attending GOP functions such as fundraisers, campaign events, etc.)
Apparently your GOPUSA Illinois editor David John Diersen didn’t like that I picked up on his outrageously written GOPUSA Illinois Daily Clips alert from yesterday. He even gives Illinois Reason a plug in his April 11, 2007 Daily Clips to complain about it:
ILLINOIS REASON
– DIERSEN HEADLINE: Outrageously, “robnesvacil” pokes fun at Diersen’s overuse of “outrageous”
I never said you overused the word, Mr. Diersen, I just found it an interesting writing technique. Oh well. We’ll outrageously have to try it again at some point just to see if we can get your ’seal of approval’ next time, ok? And, congratulations, Illinois Reason is giving you your very own “catagory” too! Outrageous!
And here the Illinois Reviewers have been outrageously complaining we Reasoners don’t have a sense of humor?!
