how you felt this had anything to do with politics is beyond me. Either way its not frightening, its disgusting. That should be locked up
This is a link to a clip of the greatest scene in the single greatest episode of reality television programming ever created.
it is taken from fox's "trading spouses." A "Christian" is returning to her family after spending 2 weeks living with new age types.
If you haven't seen this yet you are in for a treat. Alternately disturbing and hilarious.

I actually saw that. The woman is a good example of someone who has isolated herself from anything even remotely different. She deals with the world in absolutes and unsubstantiated stereotypes.
She was really crazy in a clinical sense.
the clip is politically charged. the intersection between religious beliefs and politics is a real one in contemporary American life.
You should just be thankful to me for throwing you a GREAT peice of entertainment rather than whaaaing me to death.
That's some scary ... thankfully most religious people aren't even a fraction of what that lady is.
People that fanatical probably don't concern themselves with Earthly things like Government and Voting.the intersection between religious beliefs and politics is a real one in contemporary American life.
how much would you like to bet me that this woman is a Bush voter?
Most Christian fundamentalists in this country see Bush as "one of them."
You're more that likely the only one that cares.
hmm...
okay.
i wasn't condoemning bush for having wacked out supporters, but merely pointing out that Christian fundamentalists do in fact take an active role in American politics (Pat Robertson, Jerry Fallwell et al.)
Just because you were a little offended as a Christian-conservative doesn't mean that this stuff isn't interesting.
All that because I said you're probably the only one who cares who the fanatic voted for?
anyone with even a modest amount of intellectual curiosity would consider such things after watching this outrageous clip.
I was responding directly to the poster above me who said that people who are extremely religious dont concern themselves with Earthly matters like politics.
Really? Like most people, I would disagree with you.
I though it was pretty scary, especially considering she is dragging innocent children with her down a path of insanity.
I have the distinct feeling that I have met her before.....Oh wait, thats it...it was every single homeschool mom I met throughout highschool.
Those es are down-right crazy. My fiancee and I were 15 or 16, and we went to a homeschool pool function, and they ended up scheduling a board meeting about troubling behavior in relation to us....guess what it was?
I had my arm around her shoulders...thats it....literally. Everything is "dark side"
Not really. All parties get a share of the lunatic vote. I don't care any more about this lady's voting history than I care about the Unabomber's.
If it was a devout Muslim-extremist I'm sure we would hear people say he/she will be voting for Kerry or Hillary in the next election.
Probably... I still wouldn't care.
Let's also remember that this is REALITY TELEVISION... Everyone plays it up to be on TV.
Something a little fishy about a religious psychotic like this one agreeing to appear on a show about Wife Swapping.
i feel bad for that psycho es family
You guys didn't watch the episode I did. What she was really upset about was that she went to a Health Nut's familes house-they had no junk food, no twinkies, no batter fried apples, no 2 gallon buckets of rocky road ice cream in the freezer, and no 18 egg omeletes & lard fried bacon for breakfast.
Also she was depressed because Jesus saw her on TV and told her go on a diet.
Don't lump all christians in that pile. I am a conservative, born-again christian and I don't know ANYONE like that woman. She really was unhinged, but she's the exception, not the rule!
LMAO. That was pure comedy. That lady is a fat nut-job (literally, with jiggly arms and what not). Good find. Simon says Halleljuha!!!!!
BTW I love the scary music in the begining. It fits it perfectly. Also, Star Wars? Dark-Side? Where's Yoda when you need him?

My question is how the is the guy still putting up with that crazy ? I mean he seems normal enough, and the kids seem healthy, mentally speaking. One thing would be if she had a caring and loving personality, but this is ignorant, abnoxious, crazy, and on top of that morbidly obese. Yeah, something is fishy about the whole situation.
One thing pf, not every one is like that... in fact she probably represents a small minority of Christians... who in turn don't seem to get it...
Unfortunately, there are many more people like you... people so paranoid about things they don't understand that they downright hate them. It's saddenning, not the part where you are en led to feel that way, but the part that always seems to ignore the 'good' being done by Christian organizations...
I'm going to go out on a limb here; but when was the last time you donated time and money toward meeting the needs of the poor? The last time you went to an orphanage to brighten up the day for many unfortunate children? The last time you went to a prison to give hope to the hopeless. I don't know you, but I would venture to say you don't participate in such endeavors... at least not on a consistent basis. And yet you would spurn those that do, those embracing the true* religion according to the Bible by labeling them 'fanatics', 'bigots', 'zealots'... or whatever word suits your disdain accordingly. Congratulations on demonstrating that you can harbor hatred for things you don't understand; but go on... please enlighten us with your reason....
The thing I didn't understand. She threw the cameraman (or a ca merman out) the
door, but someone was still there taking pictures of her. Does this smack a little
bit of the movie business. She acted the part of an idiot. But like someone said
above, something was wrong with the picture when all the rest of the family seemed
quite normal. And fat she was, but go to your local HEB sometimes. The come in
larger sizes. Could be someone was trying to make a point about religion and the
"dark side" of it. But it is a TV show.
