Ugly Band of the Week: Junkyard Prophet

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Skippy R

Bradlee Dean

Bradlee Dean is the founder and executive director of the non-profit teen ministry with the inordinately long name You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International. He hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, The Sons of Liberty. He produced a documentary, My War, to “give understanding and clarity of who our Founders were and their true intentions when they established this Judeo-Christian nation.”  He’s the drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet,  which plays hard, funky, loud, and fast Christian rapcore-nu metal music. Wikipedia tells us that Heaven’s Metal, a Christian heavy metal magazine, named Junkyard Prophet the second best unsigned band in the 1990s. Michele Bachmann was sprayed with glitter in Minnesota by a gay-rights activist who was upset with Bachmann’s support for Dean and his ministry. On the other hand, Dean has been quoted as describing former President George W. Bush as a “punk, lyin’ stinkin’ kid,” while maintaining former Vice-President Dick Cheney is a “straight-up liar” who “will be in Hell pretty soon.”
So, are we surprised that the group performs behind a chain-link protective fence (above) reminiscent  of the “Rawhide” scene from the Blues Brothers movie? In this instance, form follows function, and no one can criticize that kind of style.

Going out with a bang!

Cremation is controversial in some Christian circles, but this new product should erase all qualms and give your loved ones the send-off they deserve. An Alabama company, HolySmoke, will load the cremated remains of the deceased into a shell or even a whole bandelier of cartridges. Their core target audience: people who love hunting and their right to keep and bear arms and be shot from them after death. Prices start at $850 for 250 rounds (one case) of high quality, hand-loaded leadshot shotshells in various gauges. (Thanks to the Colbert Report, which reported on this funerary breakthrough back in August)

Rick Perry’s Daily Devotional: Nuclear Confusion

Prayer Time With Perry

“What god is so great as our God?” (Psalm 77:13)  From the gigantic explosion of creation to His daily upholding of the cosmos, and even unto His advancement of my campaign, our Almighty God does it all. That’s why I was skeptical when Anita and I visited the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, N.M., on one of our rare trips outside of Texas and saw replicas of the “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” atomic bombs. Sure, nuclear fission is a theory that’s out there. But really– a giant, devastating bomb that can flatten whole cities? Only God can make a mushroom… or a mushroom cloud.

Primaries defying 2nd law of thermodynamics, etc.

Election 2012“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on,” wrote Omar Khayyám. Well, not anymore. After Florida Republicans moved up their Primary election date to January 2011, Iowa announced it was moving it’s primary up, too, to the day before yesterday. “It was a glorious display of democracy in action,” said Iowa Republican Steve Warfield.  “The Iowa results– Romney, 34%, Perry 21% and Cain, 19%, Paul, 15% –certainly resets the Republican race for the Presidency.” Ohio Republicans countered that they were moving their Primary up to this past July 23.

Rick Perry Devotional: Biblical leadership

“A servant is not ranked above his master, an employee doesn’t give orders to the employer” (John 13:16).

America doesn’t need a nanny or a baby-sitter. What it needs is a desperate, cranky drill sergeant.  In a nutshell here’s my program: We’ll cash in our social security ponzi scheme chips and with the extra money, build a fence along the border, using undocumented immigrant labor, saving millions. Then vaccinate them all with the HPV vaccine and send them back home.
Next, revoke those job-killing EPA regulations and that cap & trade malarky. In Texas I cleaned the air. I actually cleaned OUT the air and replaced it with job-producing global warming pollution, and I can do it for the nation. A lot of that pollution came from the massive wildfires roaring through Texas, probably set by Democrats. What did you expect? The EPA forced us to remove all the protective asbestos from our Texas buildings, putting us in dire peril.
Oh, I know what the media jackals are saying. But after a couple of devastating hurricanes, it seemed like a good idea at the time to slash firefighting budgets by 75%.  Besides, I was counting on my friends in the New Apostolic Reformation movement to pray away such “acts of God.” But like Christ, I have been betrayed. Lord, forgive them.
