Backward country, thank you. I am still trying to get over class today. Everyone but me believes Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

I tend to be a lurker on most blogs I frequent. I’m here often.

Thanks for this post though – such a great find, and very topical.

Just wanted to drop a note of thanks!

I’ll spread it around.

Holy crap. I thought “War” was figurative. I did not expect snipers and car bombs.

I listened to the documentary and it is amazing how violent those people were! I am shocked. Unfortunately, I could see something like that happening again!

I encourage your other readers to spend the time to listen to that recording. Download it and play it on your ipod in the car on the way to work. It is worth the time.

Interesting that any book containing ideas that make them uncomfortable (which is pretty much everything) gets labeled “dirty”.

Tijuana bible LOL! I read a very interesting book on textbook inaccuracy, Lies My Teacher Told Me. It's interesting that some lies have a politically correct agenda and others have a politically INcorrect agenda!

Infidel:

That could very well be what she means.

Personally, I think she has a regular Bible (you know, “written by God” [*snicker*] ). That means she has a mistake on her sign. She should have underlined “those”. She doesn’t need one of those dirty books, because the book she already has is filled with some pretty vile smut.

Funny how the lady in the photo has “Bible” in quotation marks on her sign — maybe she meant she has a “Tijuana Bible”.
