Donald Wildmon, the founder of the American Family Association, a conservative Christian advocacy group, has died, the organization announced Thursday.

Wildmon founded the AFA, first known as the National Federation for Decency, in 1977 after working as a pastor for the United Methodist Church.

Since its inception, the conservative advocacy group has launched campaigns and boycotts to pressure corporations to avoid supporting causes the group opposed, such as LGBT anti-discrimination measures.

One more fossil.

Anything with the word "family" in it is basically in line with anything like "Democratic People's____"

It's always a lie.

"Fascism sounds so bad, what if we called it something better, like traditionalism."

I'm not sitting around wishing for people like this to die but I'm damn well not mourning their death. The world is a better place without scum like this man and the hate he creates.

The dude was 85. Why do these troglodytes live so f-ing long?

His horcruxes were hidden really well

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

Good riddance. Rot in Hell.

Sooo… what did you all have for dinner tonight?

"complications related to Lewy body dementia"

IIRC that's the crap that made Robin Williams kill himself.

When do they send him to trump's the national urinal commentary monument?

We need this commentary made so we can pay our respects and flush down the right amount of honor these people deserve. How much is up to each and everyone's bladders.

The idea goes like this...find a very wide freeway like the 5, and add some exits in the middle of the desert. Include a McDonald's and Wendy's and a Costco for fuel. The rest stop is the main monument. It will have a parking lot larger than the Costco. The parking lot will be surrounding a central location where the coffins are honorably placed several stories down at the center. At the top of that building, which can house several thousand deceased assholes, we have urinals. Truckers and regular drivers like you and I can then go to these urinals and relieve our selves for they have passed finally. Coming out you will feel a sense of relief and will then feel ready to continue the long road head. And these urinals, they don't have to be for guys only. We can provide options for women too. Regular sit-down toilet or you can go to the stand up toilet female adapter dispenser. Totally biodegradable, just toss it in and it rolls down to where the carcasses lie.

Think about the economics of such a place. But also, if such a place did in fact exist, would politicians and rich assholes risk getting their names into the next available hole? Yeah they probably don't care. But hey I would pay 75 cents for a urinal button that guided my pee to my specific asshole or choice.... maybe specifically a spout right on his head or left eye? And it gives you a 5 minute delay so you can walk down an watch it happen?

Yes we must make this happen! Or just sneak in some flowers and put them on the grave... The cup is biodegradable and dissolves in 8 hours. The cup is filled with pee. Cuz we gotta start somewhere.

Reminds me a little bit of B. Kliban's idea for the Nixon monument...

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yes! But with more golden showers!

Excuse me! My scheduled pee drip is coming up! I paid extra for drip!
