OAN's Christmas message: The 'brainworms' of the Enlightenment, such as the ideas that slavery was

[Celerity]

always inherently bad and that women had rights that were not dependent on men granting them, led the world to the destructiveness of liberal ideology that is crushing us today. Oh, and Buttiegieg, aided by Bernie Sanders (wtf, lol), is forcing ungodly gay lifestyles down Christian Americans' throats.

Then ended it up by quoting Greek Pyrrhonist philosopher Sextus Empiricus (2nd century AD):

'The millstones of the gods grind slowly, but they grind fine.'

(which is polytheistic, not christian, lol)

seriously, what the fuckery?????

[Sanity Claws]

1. Fighting Enlightenment

That sounds right for OAN.

[Celerity]

3. now they are praising LINCOLN in a 'between the show segments' short film, LOLOLOLOLOL

they are seriously bonkers


Lincoln:

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.
--ca. August 1, 1858 Fragment on Democracy

I have always hated slavery, I think as much as any Abolitionist.
--July 10, 1858 Speech at Chicago

Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.
--October 7, 1858 Debate at Galesburg, Illinois

I will say now, however, I approve the declaration in favor of so amending the Constitution as to prohibit slavery throughout the nation.
--June 9, 1864 Reply to Committee Notifying Lincoln of his Renomination

Every advocate of slavery naturally desires to see blasted, and crushed, the liberty promised the black man by the new constitution.
--November 14, 1864 Letter to Stephen A. Hurlbut

Which political ideology has been lamenting the demise of western civilization? Now they’re contributing to its downfall.

6. What kind of sadomasochistic are you?

I mean, not trying to kink shame, but why are you torturing yourself like that? 🤣

[Celerity]

9. I just switched over because MSNBC and CNN no longer had new programming, and I wanted to see if OAN

was even still up

[localroger]

14. I just bypassed the safety interlock and stuck my head in the microwave to see if it still works

Not sure, but I suddenly have an urge to re-watch the movie Scanners.

11. And why don't they make grain silos pyramid-shaped anymore?

They’re forcing those satanic, phallic-shaped silos down the throats of good Christians

[Celerity]

12. The Pyramid of North Dakota

The remnants of an early American attempt at missile defense.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/pyramid-north-dakota



THE STANLEY R. MICKELSEN SAFEGUARD COMPLEX was developed in the 1960s to shoot down incoming Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles.



Built at a cost of six billion dollars in Nekoma, North Dakota, the site was a massive complex of missile silos, a giant pyramid-shaped radar system, and dozens of launching silos for surface-to-air missiles tipped with thermonuclear warheads. It included a PAR “backscatter radar” site, designed to follow missiles being fired from Russia, which it would shoot down over Canada.



However, due to its expense, and concern over both its effectiveness and the danger of detonating defensive nuclear warheads over friendly territory, the program was shut down, having only been operational for less than three days. Its massive tunnels were flooded. Today it is a military-industrial shell in the middle of nowhere, or in the words of one writer, “a monument to man’s fear and ignorance.”



Know Before You Go

While visitors are not able to explore the pyramid or enter the grounds, photos can still be taken from the gravel road outside the gate. The pyramid is just outside the tiny settlement of Nekoma, North Dakota. There's a small store/restaurant in town and not much else. The nearest gas station is in Langdon, about 19 miles away. The site is 40 miles from Canada. The closest town is Langdon North Dakota which sits seven miles to the north of Nekoma and 20 miles west of the PAR radar at Concrete, North Dakota. Langdon sits at the intersection of State Highways #1 & #5 which is approximately 15 miles south of Canada and 40 miles west of Minnesota. Don't miss the Sprint Missile still standing in the middle of the Langdon Park.

16. just remember: no matter the subject, half the world is, by definition, below average...😬👍

[Celerity]

18. That's the median, not the average (aka mean), and if the entire spectrum as a whole is slid in a

negative direction then the median value becomes diminished.

21. Lake Wobegon, where...

...all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

19. They're Nothing

I looked them up on a ranking site.
They've had 3.1 million visits lasting an average of 1 minute & 51 seconds since 2009.
About 170,000 visits per year or under 3,300 per week.
Per Nielsen, their news programming is watched by 14,000 people per night.
What they say may be atrocious, but nobody's listening

20. OAN is Fox News on bath salts.
