Does It Hurt Your Head When I Stomp My Foot On The Ground?

"I shudder to think where the country would be right now if the religious right had not evolved," [Jerry Falwell] said when he stepped down as Moral Majority president in 1987.

I as well, Jerry. Thanks to you & Pat Robertson, you slowed down this country's progress. I wish I were in San Francisco right now.

I'd like to thank the Urban Dictionary for providing the best list of definitions for The Moral Majority.

1.) A group of Christians who believe that it is their burden (very similar to the white man's burden in Africa) to impose their "morality," which apparently has been endorsed by a so-called son of God who has been missing (or dead) for the past 2000 years, the same amount of time that his return has been imminent. The only way to do this, of course, is to get into politics, the most amoral activity on the planet. When dealing with the Moral Majority, watch out for harsh judgements, death threats, and an occasional lie, since this is all in the son of God's book, the Bible.

e.g.: "The Moral Majority have forced school prayer on all students under penalty of crucifiction."

2.) People who use the Bible as a facade to promote their political agenda. Also, quoting the bible out of context to emphasize their political agenda.

e.g.: "The moral majority helped to re-elect George W. Bush at the expense of the middle class, the poor, and all the military service men and women."

3.) A group of 1980s Christians that attempted to press their agenda on the rest of the country, they were listened to but in the end, no one really gave damn. But after 9/11, it seems like it might be returning.

e.g.: "The Moral Majority is neither moral nor a majority."

And last but not least, I'll thank Mariser for the George Carlin inspiration. This was from his tour back in 1988: What the Hell am I Doing in New Jersey?
