My Fundie Mom

... is apparently fighting on the wrong side in the War On Christmas! Her latest e-mail missive to me is titled "Happy Hollidays," (sic); quick! Get Falafel Boy on the line!

Bill may have a little trouble ordering his Christian F-16s to napalm a little old lady who looks like an older version of Aunt Bea, though... from whom I got my shocking good looks, btw (haw!). But seriously, don't I look like the potential spawn of Aunt Bea...?

To her credit, Mom closed with "Hey, speaking of Christmas and gifts.....keep the money I sent you as your gift...okay? I wish I could help out more but to see you kids saved and living for Jesus would be more than enough for me & [my husband]."

(emphasis mine)

Well, God bless you, Mom. I know your heart's in the right place, regardless.

I lost my mom four years ago. As much as I miss her, I think the current regime would have killed her off anyway. She used to be to the left of me.

Oh, my Mom's a classic fundie -- thinks George W. Bush walks on water. She beams with pride when talking about how then-gov Bush wrote to her, saying she'd earned the right to not pay property tax in Texas, having achieved the ripe old age of... whatever (70?). That's George Bush to her -- fighting for the rights of old people to not pay taxes.
