“$250,000 a year is not rich. For a family of four sending kids to college. Actually, it’s close to poverty.”
- female talking head on Fox News

Unless, of course, said family doesn’t work for Wall Street and instead happens to be teachers. Then $50,000 a year makes one a fat-cat millionaire living high on the hog on the tax payer dime!

And this Moment of Zen just has to be seen. More stupidity from the Fox News morning show morons!

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
–Matthew 5:10

In the afternoon, the event had the atmosphere of a July 4 picnic. Many brought lawn chairs and blankets, sang patriotic songs and tied red, white and blue bandanas on their dogs.

American patriotism at its gaudiest, exuberant best. Nothing shows the correctness of the “American Way” like patriotic songs and festooned dogs on an afternoon picnic in the park on a cool spring day … followed by an evening of spewing righteous and hateful vomit in a grand display of red, white and blue bulimia.

“This is not about hate. We are not hate mongers,” said Karen Lugo, one of the speakers outside the community center.

When I stand before you and say you are a wife beating, child molesting, follower of a false god, and an evil-doer who deserves to shown to the afterlife in a timely manner, I am sending a message of pure unfettered love.

One organizer, Steven Amundson of Huntington Beach said, “A week and a half ago I would have been happy to have six people show up. It’s not right for terrorism to come to Yorba Linda. I always stress the need to be peaceful and positive.”

This display of America pride is a glowing example of peacefulness and positivity. Jesus and Jefferson would be proud, wouldn’t they? Viva America!

Look upon the faces of American Patriotism and Judeo-Christian love.

Among the protesters were Rabbi Dov Fischer of Young Israel of Orange County, Irvine Jewish activist Dee Sterling and U.S. Congressmen Ed Royce (R-CA), Gary Miller (R-CA), and Chapman University adjunct professor of law Karen Lugo…

Adding to that list the aforementioned organizer by name of Steven Amundson of Huntington Beach, Pamella Geller, Villa Park Councilwoman Deborah Pauly (R), Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie, and any other names I can accumulate as I follow the threads of this story as deeply as I can.

I have yet to watch the full-length video of the speakers at this delightful little afternoon picnic of bigotry and hate, but within the first few minutes, the very first speaker says this will be a day that will live in infamy in Yorba Linda. I’m going to guess she doesn’t know what infamy means, because as it turns out, I believe she is 100% correct. Ill-famed, indeed … or at least one can hope that’s how such disgusting behavior is viewed by more than a small number of my fellow Americans.

Addendum:

“You are not people! You are animals!”

Yes, the people screaming are, in fact, animals. Stupid, stupid animals.
