Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

American Religious Nonsense, Left And Right


Righties are giving Obama a raft of shit for his refusal to condemn the entire Muslim religion due to the actions of a few.  Having taken enough, our Prez (and my cuz) reacted by telling it like it is:  "ISIS does not represent Islam, it perverts it.  They are not religious leaders, they are terrorists."  Alas, these words of truth didn't mollify the righties (as shown in the infamously despicable cover of the NY Post, a rotten Rupert Murdoch rag).  They also conveniently forgot that Dubya said the same thing 12 years ago and caught zero flak (and should not have).

"I don't know.  And there's
so much more I don't know."
Lefties are giving Scott Walker a raft of shit for refusing to acknowledge Obama's Christianity.  As a corollary to Rudy Giuliani's vile assertion that Obama doesn't love America, Walker was asked if Obama is a Christian.  Walker replied, "I don't know."  Lefties howled at this, because the president is obviously a Christian and how dare Walker pretend he doesn't know it?

Grab onto your socks, faithful readers, because even though Scott Walker is a Koch-sucking douche nozzle, Buster is about to defend him.  (Just a little.  Don't get used to it.)

Walker was far more reasonable than the guy who asked the damn question.  Yes, his answer was a little weak, but it was far superior to that totally lame, irrelevant and awful question!  It was the question that really sucked, not his answer.

To the question, "Do you believe the president is a Christian?" I'll give you a much better answer:

"Who cares?  It doesn't matter!  Our Constitution says no religious test is required for public office.  So enough with the religion questions.  None of your business!  A president's religion, or lack thereof, is no more of a qualification than his or her shoe size.  Next question."

One of these days.
