Palin: Babies - Guns - Jesus
Here’s another photo from the Glenn Beck Restoration Minstrel Show; the rally’s organizers banned signs, so the audience brought t-shirts.

I say again, this shirt is a freaking chicken, seed, fox boat river problem, because you can't have guns next to babies and have it make sense, but you can't have guns next to Jesus and have it make sense either... so the person who designed it clearly decided to "solve" that problem by having it be next to both!
5 | SanFranciscoZionist Mon, Aug 30, 2010 6:46:08pm |
You know, I have nothing much against any of those things, but seeing them all promoted as a package, and as attributes of Sarah Palin, makes me very, very twitchy.

Does Jesus take the babies to the rifle range, or what?

OK, now for the long-delayed next LGF/D&D Crossover Encounter:
Civil War Woods
Dungeon Master's Notes: This encounter is a penalty phase if the players did not collect enough of Palindrome's Soul Gems. As the players took the easy way out earlier, they are now forced to shut down the DemiLitch's Astral Engine the hard way.
Unlike previous encounters, the DM should not make an effort to keep the player characters alive in this battle. In fact, its almost certain to kill at least one of them.

The procedure for clearing a jam or stoppage in an M-16 / AR-15 rifle is known by the mnemonic SPORTS:
Slap
Pull
Observe
Release
Tap
Shoot
Coincidentally, if my recent forray to the nearby shopping mall is any indication, this same procedure is also sometimes used as a child disciplining technique.
So maybe THAT's the connection.

I thought it was the Redneck Marriage Plan:
First the young guy gets the girl pregnant, then the girl's parents confront the impregnator with their guns telling him to marry the girl or die, and then the young man cries out "Jesus!".
It's worked for millions.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly. There are places in the world where black people own slaves...as there have been since the development of black people and slavery.
This is very sad, of course, but it seems like a strangely specific fact to put on a T-shirt, and, one might say, somewhat irrelevent to the agenda of the day.
Oh....wait...this is somehow supposed to absolve Shirtman of the guilt about slavery in the United States that he feels is being unfairly foisted on him by those goddamn liberals?

The players exit the dank stairway they have been walking up, opening an old wooden door and stepping outside. They find them selves in a fog shrouded wood. The trees are most bare and the air is late-Autumn cold. After the players have walked in ways in the Astral Engine's direction (perhaps fighting a handful of trolls at one point), they start to see figures ahead in the fog. If a player has a spell to to give them vision through murk, a successful use will give them a view a line of men in camouflage with slung rifles digging foxholes. Some of them, (the more-numerous, less purposeful ones), talk about the "EVIL!!" of the Demigod Obamrama, or the "perfidy" of the Lizard King. None of their accusations make any sense. The player should also notice a few men who work more swiftly and keep a sharp watch, speaking little. As the players creep closer they should see two men talking together slightly to one side. One is older and seems more experienced than his compatriot. He occasionally speaks in a free verse poetry and when doing so curses the Back-Stabbing Back-Bencher the players vanquished earlier. After they converse for a short time, the purposeful man steps away and walks down the line. If a spell to see through fog was cast, the player should make a Perception Roll at a +7 Difficulty modifier. If the roll succeeds, the player notices that the older man glances very slightly in the players direction.
Regardless of the success of such a roll, about a minute later, the line erupts in gunfire as the men rapidly unsling their rifles and open fire.

I know precisely where that came from, if anyone cares.
The day that Senator McCain announced Governor Palin as his running mate, Rush Limbaugh announced his approval on the air with the following EXACT quote.
He said, (I'm serious, here) : Babies - Guns - Jesus... Hot damn!
The shirt is a direct Rush Limbaugh quote.

In an alternate universe I suppose attributing these qualities to a buffoon like Palin makes sense, because in that alternate universe Sarah Palin wouldn't be the semi-literate, pandering, bible thumping, dishonest, one-dimensional train wreck she is. But the wingnuts trot these messages out, like the "Guns, Guts, and God" shirts, to reaffirm their badassery to the rest of us gutless, gunless, godless, child killers, because it appears, in their mind, it's one or the other. You can't be a gun owner and pro choice, or a gutsy person without God - no, you need the recipe on the shirts to be a Real American™. Given their intellectual simplicity, I suppose putting it shirts, with no more than three ingredients, works best for them. Nuance and critical thinking is not their strong point, and the wingnuts are shameless to advertise how painfully simple they are.
