The Art of Humbuggery, with Pat Condell

My bemused response to Pat Condell's latest video effort concerning a nativity scene in Texas and freedom of religion. Special thanks to dananddanvideos for the delightful "Daily Mail song." You can enjoy the song in its entirety at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBT6OSr1TI&feature=relmfu

Hehe, only just got round to watching this, and i think our little ditty slots in rather nicely :-) Happy new year to you!

@dananddanfilms Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year!

Apparently the band of blatherers here are, in fact, unable to understand the words of the Constitution. Let's try this again.

The 'religion' clause of the First Amendment, when you parse out the arcane 18th-century syntax, would read like this:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.

Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

What is it about the term 'free exercise' that you twits (I'm being nice about this) fail to understand?

@tramky Are you still here? Shoo troll, shoo!

[WildwoodClaire1]

@Tr3xKuro Can't say about the atheist bit, but you're a lousy American.

[WildwoodClaire1]

@tramky Sure thing, Chuckles. That means government should stay out of the goddamned religion business. Have nice day, and thanks for playing.

I'm glad I stopped watching P.C. (doh!) a few years ago when he started showing his BNP-voting, daily mail green-ink-letter-writing, foaming at the mouth, steam from the ears credentials.

I subscribed to PC when he used to do aheism rants, but he quickly started to show his racism. Let's face it, most Muslims are brown, most Muslims aren't violent terrorists & PC hates them all regardless. The great thing about Muslims is you can find a white one & say "hey it's nothing to do with skin colour"

Pat, The Christians have the Christ-Mass. The rest of the Holiday (Holy Day) is COMPLETELY PAGAN!

@DonSSanders

It's true that she holds certain powers technically. For example she can dissolve a government and call for a general election, all laws pass from the house of commons, to the house of lords, to her and then back to the lords and commons before they become statute. She could technically intervene...

However it's power that she cannot use because if she tried, she would lose it. She can't have her cake and eat it, essentially.

@Craydon 'Nuff said?'

Not really... which crazy folk are lumping you in with us? I know it sometimes happens the other way around and we get lumped in with Americans, but I've never seen it the other way around.

I like Pat. But this time he really missed it. I just can't believe a good Brit would not understand the First Amendment. I'm sure they have something like that over there. Oops, my bad they don't do they?.

As Pat would say, "peace".

Re Pats point about xmas "not intruding" in the UK, I don't own a car and on xmas day and boxing day there are - No buses, no trains and virtually all shops and pubs are closed, in other words the country shuts down for 2 days. If this was caused by a strike the government would probably send the Army in.
