That TV classic is long defunct, but our modern times have produced equally hysterical video entertainment.

A friend to animals great and small. Indeed. Except when hunting from a helicopter.
The overly excited guy in the background was doing something that warranted a blurring. Either killing the turkey, or enjoying some good ol' bestiality... Wasilla-style.
Maybe it's unfair, Jack, to post reality television bits which rightwingers and Palin-pushers can NOT find any value or quality in, on which to offer comment to substantiate their way of thinking or reinforce their beliefs ... in the bubble ... which is about to }pop{
Everybody has this image of "crazy Christians" based on what they hear in the media, but it's just not true. Most Christians are normal, decent folks. We don't all blindly follow a bunch of outdated biblical tenets or go all fanatical about every bit of dogma. What I'm trying to say is, don't let the actions of a vocal few color your perceptions about what the majority of us are like.
My faith in the Lord is about the pure, simple values: raising children right, saying grace at the table, strictly forbidding those who are Methodists or Presbyterians from receiving communion because their beliefs are heresies, and curing homosexuals. That's all. Just the core beliefs. ... Things everybody can agree on, like the miracle of glossolalia that occurred during Pentecost, when the Apostles were visited by the Holy Spirit, who took the form of cloven tongues of fire hovering just above their heads. You know, basic common sense stuff.
Now, granted, there are some Christians on the lunatic fringe who take their beliefs a little too far. Take my coworker Karen, for example. She's way off the deep end when it comes to religion: going down to the homeless shelter to volunteer once a month, donating money to the poor, visiting elderly shut-ins with the Meals on Wheels program—you name it!
But believe me, we're not all that way. The people in my church, for the most part, are perfectly ordinary Americans like you and me. They believe in the simple old-fashioned traditions—Christmas, Easter, the slow and deliberate takeover of more and more county school boards to get the political power necessary to ban evolution from textbooks statewide. That sort of thing.
When it comes down to it, all we want is to see every single member of the human race convert to our religion or else be condemned ....
Kinda makes y'wanna cry, don't it, joyful tears. [WARNING: 'The Onion' alert! Satire's a bitch.]
I note that she has experienced a miracle cure for the folksy talk style we heard throughout the campaign - she's no longer droppin' the "g" from the end of her words.

Oh brother. Yeah those Christians are really on the move. Almost like the Crusades all over again.
Good thing Obama Nation arrived in the nick of time to stop them.
Ben... It's the "Onion." It's satire. If you have a dictionary, look up the word. I really hope you're trying to be funny, but I just can't completely buy into that.
