American Idol winner is a married evangelical.
.
The guy who was “supposed” to win wears guyshadow. The religious right homophobes stacked the election, or so the theory goes.
I really hope the emphasis on the winner’s religion isn’t made into an issue by folks like Barron. I don’t watch the show but by all accounts, these were two very talented guys and as Kris Allen (the winner) himself said,
Let’s just give the winner his due for being a great singer, wish him much success and leave his religious background out of it.
.
but I sense that the winner got millions of votes because preachers last Sunday exhorted their followers to vote for him.
That didn’t happen in my church.
But I think the metrosexual guy was the better entertainer of the two.
The very best were eliminated in earlier rounds.
I didn’t know he was an evangelical until I read it in the Post this AM.
Only then did I understand the snide remark I heard last night on one of the Entertainment News shows,
something about how we’ll see who sells more records.
.
and I apologize if my comment comes off the wrong way. I just think Allen and Adam were both excellent entertainers and I hate to see Allen not get his full due by folks getting sidetracked over his spirituality–as though he didn’t really earn it.
Truth be told, I think you can blame the teenage girls that voted for him en masse because he seems to fit their idea at age 17 of what a man is supposed to look like more than you can the holy rollers in the pulpit, since the teenagers are the primary backbone of the show.
is openly gay and appeared in some broadcasts with his boyfriend — it’s not like he just wears product in his hair and doesn’t own any Dockers, he’s about as far from being “metrosexual” as possible.
Am at a loss as to why you introduced this story as if it was focused on Obama.
.
how do you like the fact that our first line of defense against terrorists seems to be their sheer stupidity ?
I’ve probably burned through half a ton of C-4 in training my soldiers, and “commanded” a live minefield, so I think I know what it looks like. But even I could be fooled with white Play-Dough.
Any journeyman bombmaker needs to know his suppliers. S/he needs to test every new batch. They should be just as skeptical as if purchasing illegal drugs.
But these jokers paid good money for a pre-made “bomb” built by the FBI and didn’t check nothin’.
How long can we count on that ?
And when you discern the connection to Obama, please share with your playmates here.
.
.
I didn’t see the connection myself.
An expression of sympatico.
.
But then it’s Libertad and he rarely writes anything that makes sense to anyone besides himself.
Barron’s comment about “share with your playmates here” had me busting a gut.
How are you? Ooooooh, I’ve missed your brilliant retorts to my comments soooooo much. How I would love to meet you in person. Now that would be a good time that we should live blog, don’t you think, babycakes? Lovenuts? Sweetcheeks? Hmmmmmmmmm?
only you can be the snarky one and only when it pleases you.
Come on, that’s not the way real Democrats carry themselves.
Nice try.
Next?
when I clicked on that link I got a story about Suu Kyi and the idiot who got her in trouble swimming over to see her. The swimming part was the only thing vaguely related to “catch and release” I could discern. I was confused and clicked twice more, got the same thing. Must have been a Post site glitch. Just tried again and got the right article so at least I now know WTF you guys are talking about.
Just read more recent comments and was really confused. This time I clicked and got yet a third article. Last time I got one on CIA stuff, first time on Suu Kyi, this time on Geithner so I guess it isn’t a link to a specific article. You just get the latest. No wonder none of us knows WTF anybody else is talking about.
I thought it was just me. I got an article that had absolutely nothing to do with anything Libertard wrote. Then again, he doesn’t typically make much sense so why should that be any different now? 🙂
.
who belongs to that synagogue:
I thought she’d be paralyzed with fear, so I called and left a message a couple hours ago.
I’d forgotten that she had lived in Israel several times.
Nobody’s being blase, but they’re taking it in stride.
She’s preparing to discuss this with my nephew in about 30 minutes, when she picks him up from school.
Quite a long way from the innocent days of Archie and Veronica at Riverdale High.

Oh Barron, you’re a Jewish Republican? Growing up in Chicago among fellow Eastern European Jews, a generation or two removed from the old country, I never met a Jewish Republican back then. The only ones we had ever heard of were from New York and they were liberal Rs (yes, there was such a thing). All the Irish and Italians were Dems back then, too. I know things are different now but it’s still hard for me to get used to. Like when some old friend’s daughter joins Jews for Jesus (no offense to my many Christian friends)
All the best to your sister, nephew and the whole family. And how about them Nuggets!?! Woohoo!
And as I recall you are Catholic? Of course Catholics used to be mainly Dems too. Am holding out hope that your Jewish sister-in-law is a Dem?
.
even went to a Seminary for part of his high school years.
Then he met a nice Jewish girl in college,
and preparing to marry her, went through what he believes was a conversion to Judaism.
Even so, some Jews still tell him, if your mother isn’t Jewish, then you’re not Jewish.
Well, at least his sons are accepted by the tribe.
My sister-in-law Malka sure talks like a Dem, but I haven’t actually asked her, that I can recall.
And just to clarify, I’m not a Republican; I’m a conservative. The conservative party ’round these parts is called the American Constitution Party.
While the GOP attempts to claim the “conservative” mantle, they are very flexible when it comes to foundational principles.
.
Converting to Judaism is really difficult. It usually takes 13 years for a child who’s raised Jewish to become prepared for his bar mitzvah, and someone who does it in a year or two is asking a lot of themselves.
Anyway, most of the people I know who converted are far more pious and observing than people like me who were born to a Jewish mom. All the rabbis I’ve ever met have told me that converted Jews are just as Jewish as someone born to a Jewish mom. Just my two cents.
your mother must be Jewish. Jewish dad/gentile mom makes you a gentile. However conversions are accepted.
Since Israel’s crazy proportional representation system gives the religious parties so much power, control of legal marriage, etc. and since, until recently, the only choice in Israel was to be orthodox or nothing (with 90% choosing the secular option) your convert brother would not be recognized as Jewish in Israel unless he went through an Orthodox conversion. Probably doesn’t put much of a dent in his lifestyle.
If he converted via the Reform or Conservative branches here, that’s good enough for everyone but the Orthodox minority here in the US. The kids are Jewish, even according to the strictest Orthodox standards, no matter what since Mom’s Jewish. In fact, if they had a daughter and SHE married a gentile, the kids would be Jewish according to the law even though they we would be only a quarter and so on through a maternal (but only maternal) line. Like all religions, God love ’em, Judaism has plenty of its own wacky rules.
Finally, Barron, a statement on which you and I can agree!
.
but we focus on the other 5%. And that’s largely my fault.
.
on page 9A of the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel today, the guy who Pols believes has a better chance of becoming governor next year than Josh Penry “announced” his candidacy for governor.
Its kinda the reverse to calling out the Guv on a front page editorial.
🙂
The only item this article is missing is the involvement of business pay-off specialists conspiring with the crooked Pol/Union Boss.
Is it just me or does Defense Attorney Armstrong here sound like someone who’d line right up to conduct a government takeover of a private company so it could raid its reserves?
Dems, labor and lawyers bad. How could I have been so wrong?

Just saw a commercial on Comedy Central for Stevinson Auto, featuring a woman at a car dealership looking at a photo of the dealer’s son. “Nice kid, shame you ate him.”
He spends the rest of the commercial explaining that car dealers don’t eat their young. Finally the tag line is something like, “Good cars. Honest dealers. And we don’t eat our young.”
Unfortunately I can’t find the ad on their web site or on YouTube. But considering how terrible this state’s commercials are (Rocky’s Auto, Jake Jabs), I think a good one deserves some credit.
Note to Colorado businesses: if you make a good commercial, put it on YouTube!
