Is Oprah Winfrey Mentally Ill?

Post by _Bach »

Admittedly, I don’t understand liberal speak. Probably because I simply just don’t have the time to spend my life sitting behind a keyboard and a screen as I suspect most here do. Forgive me, in advance, for that flaw in my lack of character, ambition and social duty in my life.

But how do liberals so easily control and live with the vacillation of their cerebral endorphins on character assassination, for the same issue, between two human beings?

Mike Pence says Jesus speaks to him and is immediately called out for mental illness by liberal queen Behar. Oprah says she hasn’t been told by God to run for President yet she is a devoted Christian of solid character.

Really need the expertise here of this liberal board to help me out on this contradiction of rifle scope.

But here’s a video that really boggles the mind. Whoopi (replacing DCP as Krispy Kreme’s leading spokesperson) goes to bat in a lame attempt to diffuse legal and rating issues for ABC under the guise of “let’s talk about this issue and be open about it”!

And yet when Meghan McCain candidly points out the hypocrisy (in the video below), Whoopi wants to cut it off and silence her (and apparently not because she was running off stage for another bear claw) as it was not productive to an open conversation:

Would love any and all insight from those w degrees from the University of IPHONE and averaging over 5 posts/day (assuming board will allowing this topic to be posted).

Just can’t figure this stuff out!!

Wow, silence is deafening particularly when you have that one poster, “Analscreechmedotgrahamcan4allusionshmoxenomaksugirletal“ who always goes out of hesheits way to criticize the author over addressing the OP.

Hope this response is allowed through the bias of the liberal filter within the next day or two!!!

My only reaction to your OP was being impressed that you kept your exclamation-point-to-sentence-ratio lower than two. Otherwise, what was i supposed to say? I have no idea who "liberal queen Behar" is, much less understand why you think liberals must agree with her about whatever she says.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Sometimes Bach reminds me of a Samuel Beckett character, locked in his solipsism and ranting in loops. Okay, every time. :lol:

For reasons unknown to me, my phone has a recommended news list that pops up whenever I open a web browser that runs the gamut from the Washington Post to Gizmodo to Fox News and other conservative sources.

One thing I've noticed: If a headline is about some oddly voyeuristic sex-related criminal event, the source will be Fox News. One never sees another outlet reporting, "Hot Blonde Math Teacher pleads guilty to having threeway sex in Denny's parking lot with star quarterback and head cheerleader". I can't tell you how often these kinds of headlines pop up, and are in such contrast to the other headlines around them.

But because of this quirk in my phone's choices in presenting sources, I've been seeing the outrage building about the View host who is the face of liberal hypocrisy because she called Pence insane for saying he hears Jesus talk to him but had nothing to say when Oprah said she hadn't gotten the call from God to run in 2020. The headline, the issue, the topic - they all suck. Like, suck in the way I imagine readership of the National Enquirer sucks even when they do so ironically.

But really, it helps to understand Bach when one reads the label on his media diet TV dinner.

by my count, 3 posts that all attack messenger because message hurts their brain.
Simple enough premise - Pence says he listens to Jesus and Oprah listens to God.... is the hypocrisy veiled in some sort of trinity dispute?

I don't watch The View because I'm a man. As for the double standard regarding Oprah and Pence, I'm pretty sure it's because people like Oprah.

In fairness, people make a weird distinction between believing God is literally talking to you (not Ok) and believing God is communicating with you through vague impressions (A-Ok) all the time.

Many Christians enthusiastically point to Stigmata as evidence of the validity of their belief.

People with stigmata invariably bleed from the palms of their hands, as the the nails are shown in most depictions of the crucifixion of Jesus. The problem is that is not that way Jesus was crucified. Nails were driven in the wrist beneath the radius bone to secure the arms to the cross.

So stigmata is not a testament to truth, it is a testament to faith. If you have faith, then I suppose you can believe that a nice Jewish boy who died 2,000 years ago speaks with the Vice President of the United States. If the boy were named Irving instead of Jesus, everyone would call you insane.
