You may have heard about the strange case of the mass bird deaths in Arkansas. As part of the coverage, Anderson Cooper brought on noted expert, Kirk Cameron, to discuss the theories that are …
… wait, what?
Kirk doesn’t seem to have any more of an idea of what he’s doing there than I do. My guess is, they had him on the line and decided to wedge him in. Still, he gives a remarkable sane interview, right up until the 3:20 mark.
Wow. The solemnity with which Anderson Cooper asks inane questions of a non-expert is hilarious.
The logic is astounding. We have a bunch of unexplained wildlife deaths. Some people think it might be a sign of the end times. So let’s ask an actor who portrayed a fictional character on a TV show about the end times what he thinks about the wildlife deaths? But oh, wait, we’re not really interested in his opinion on the wildlife deaths at all! We are seeking spiritual enlightenment from this man on matters of Christian theology…
Wow.
He’s heavily associated with Ray Comfort. He’s not just an actor, he’s also an expert douchebag.
Actually, my problem is with Anderson Cooper dressing up and pretending he’s a journalist.
Here here.
Where? Where?
There there!
Yeah, I think the reasoning is, “some dumb*sses think the birds falling is a sign of the endtimes… let’s ask an expert dumb*ss what he thinks…”
What do you mean not *just* an actor? He’s not an actor.
Um…. He acts out fictional roles for works of fictional popular entertainment by learning fictional scripts and repeating them in front of a camera. So…. Yeah, he’s an actor. Of course, I’m not saying he’s a good actor…
Ok, he’s an act-er, not an ACK-TORR. He’s been in some things including things I’ve watched and would watch today in reruns. He’s been in quasi-relevant movies to the topic of end times, which our journalist has been tasked with addressing seriously. He’s not some random Christian they found, neither is he a clergyman or end-times aficionado per se. He’s an actor.
Ahem. I don’t think he’d be that good at ad libbing, so the scripts themselves are probably real.
Ah, most likely. Got carried away with the repetition there…
Maybe Fiyenyaa doesn’t remember Growing Pains…
I certainly do not…
It was an 80′s sitcom that Cameron acted in.
Don’t be to hard on him, Anderson is just a talking head. In this situation it would be the Producer’s fault for scrambling to get some kind of discussion going. Their expert probably fell through and they had no back-up. Imagine the utter degradation Anderson felt when they put that goon on camera as an “expert”.
so the Pilgrims left us clues? wow
Yes, but perhaps someone should gently point out to this guy that the Pilgrims didn’t found the United States of America.
It’s like Flash forward…
Why didn’t he get a Muslim or rabbi or buddhist, etc. on there to see what they think it all means? It’s gettin crazy out there!
Or a wildlife biologist? Just sayin’. Either one would make more sense than Kirk Cameron.
At least Kirk started with something like “I don’t know why you’re asking me [for pity's sake!]” At least he had that much momentary sense.
I was shocked at how skeptical Cameron was. I just about spit my coffee out when he said that he assumed he would die before the rapture happened.
When he said ‘Call a veterinarian’, I almost fell out of my chair! Relying on an educated expert to find the answer? Perhaps it is a sign of the end times.
A Christer said something rational — THAT is a sign of the End Times.
…unlike Anderson. Too bad, cause I liked Anderson’s extensive coverage from Haiti last year.
He may still be a bit shell-shocked after being razzed by Kathy Griffin and Joan Rivers. They went on about how white he was at great length.
The birds did not fall, it’s a case of intelligent throwing.
I wonder if they drank from the water that killed the fish.
“The pilgrims left us clues”. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that these “clues” will turn out to be religious values, and probably in some idealised, historically inaccurate version at that. So which of the many hundreds of conflicting pilgrim denominations will Kirk select as the True Roots of American Christianity? I’ll take a wild guess that it’ll be the ones that most closely resemble his own faith.
If he does real research on the original Pilgrims, I don’t think he’s gonna like them. They were a remarkably dour, intolerable lot, with set ideas that were based on a specific reading of Biblical texts. Singing, dancing, discussion – all were forbidden…oh wait, maybe he’ll like them after all. Or we’ll get a documentary about happy smiling Pilgrims with buckled hats and shoes, who can be traced as the origins of the Tea Party. I’m guessing #2.
Are you sure about that? I would associate all that more with the Puritans than the Pilgrims. I mean, I know the Pilgrims weren’t exactly a liberal lot, but I didn’t think they were as ascetic as the Puritans.
You’re probably right, although folks in buckled hats and shoes all look alike to me! ;-)
Yeah verily, the Puritans were the sourpusses (they forbade Christmas celebrations too), but I think Puritanism and Pilgrimacy (?) weren’t too far apart. One thing for sure, they all hated the Papists! What a jolly bunch.
I only recently learned that, in fact, Pilgrims did not wear black and did not have buckles on their hats or shoes. Later depictions of them dressed like this used those as symbols of quaintness, much like is done in modern times with Santa.
But yeah, I don’t know how well the Pilgrims and the Puritans got along, but they certainly were both at least ten Bushes more conservative than the religious right today.
Nah, I’m pretty sure this documentary will just come up with the usual run of the mill right-wing Christian agenda. It’ll turn out that the pilgrims wanted us to:
- Promote the Bible (especially the Ten Commandments) in schools, courts, libraries and other public places
- Use the Bible as a basis for government and policy making
- Teach creationism in the class room
- Focus on the “traditional” family (ideally with a patriarchal father and a stay-at-home mother)
- Oppose everything homosexual
All of it most likely sprinkled with a spoonfull of revisionist bullshit about how the Founding Fathers intended USA to be a Christian nation.
There. I saved you all the trouble of watching it.
Pingback: CNN Brings On Kirk Cameron As End Times Expert In Wake Of Mass Bird Deaths – Camels With Hammers
Oh, Kirk’s “Monumental” should be wonderful. David Barton is part of it.
LOL! David Barton… another expert dumb*ss!!!!!!!!!!
Worse than a dumb*ss, he is a habitual Liar for Jesus.
Sounds like a real life National Treasure movie. Maybe it’s all about bananas.
I really hate to say this, but I agreed with everything he said there, description of his completely unrelated movie notwithstanding. He made a lot of sense and generally just said what I was thinking.
His movie idea is retarded though. The pilgrims sucked.
Around 1:52 Kirk goes into how people love to “find codes” and such. The irony that he ends by discussing his movie about the “clues” left behind by pilgrims…
… also that he thinks people looking for those “clues” (signs of end times, etc..) are silly
And yet, he believes in the “end times”…
Kitty- I just love your cutie pie avatar! Sooooooo cute that little kitty is with the big green eyes!!!! Reminds me of my kitty, Leo. He’s black with green eyes too.
Thanks. It’s a random photo I found on ICHC and reminds me of my little guy, Ash.
Mock ye not! The end times ARE coming.
In about 4.5 billion years from now, the Sun will turn into a red giant….will YOU be ready?
I’m actually looking forward to it. Got my Ray-bans and a package of Ballpark franks.
Let us not forget a good cold brew.
rAmen brother!
And sunscreen. The helium flash can be wicked.
Beer has a really low boiling point in the cosmic scheme of things. Better put more beer on the list to be sure we have enough.
In 4.5 billion years when our sun turns into a Red Giant, I’m totally going to launch my son Kal-El towards his destiny.
Aside from Kirk Cameron’s brain, most of the rest of him is looking pretty nice. It doesn’t matter if most everything he says is cuckoo bananas because it’s still coming out of that hunky mouth of his.
And he used to look like such a dork. Who knew he’d recover so well?
Still needs some facial hair to complete the transformation to full hunk, though.
Time to earn my pedantry stripes: the word in the title should be segue, not seque.
LOL! I kept looking at that and I just couldn’t figure out why it didn’t look right… it was the little curly part of the “g” that was missing. Ahhhhhh, relief!!!!! I can move on with my day now.
:D
I looked up ‘seque’ in the dictionary, it’s some computer language.
I can’t really understand the use of seque OR segue here, so I assumed it’s supposed to be clever and I’m not.
I think he was going for a pun off “sect” and “segue.”
The end MUST be near! Why I saw two roadkilled squirrels on my way to work just this morning.
You may want to go back and pick these up, and put them in the freezer for future food source : ) The governments food agenda to cause famine is getting closer.. Good Luck

Since the birds and fish kills are world wide, I tend to believe the governments has their hands in this.situation. I believe what’s happening, is that the governments are running their game plan by using the Bible”s timeline to achieve their goal. And their new religious agenda is luciferism. a quick fix fast food religion. And by this title of religion, we know which side this lucifer is on.
Which you made up in your teeny-tiny brain, possibly bought at a garage sale.
luciferism is very real. it is the newage..very easy to find out.in a search. it would do you well to get updated information. no garage sales for sure. This luciferism will be the NWO’s religion. It promotes light.love and goodness to bring in the people who are looking for a safe haven , then it will deceive the people who are in this. We all know who Lucifer sides with. Thanks.
Makes sense.
Ya, these animal kills are world wide. I have a google map which pinpoints all the kills within these few days..2 places in Austraila. Many in Europe. Could be this HAARP thing, or phosgene workings. just so the government will have an excuse to vaccinate everyone.. deception to the people is running on an all time high lately.
What were you drinking, it must be really good.
The Quack Trifecta!
Morning, Oh lol it’s very real. I wish it was as easy to blame it on “drink” this bird and fish kill is world wide. I have a google map which pinpoints and gives the locations and discription of every animal death related to this situation. I usually stay on YT and my own area of internet sites doing research for certain people related to this Govt agenda, And the Spiritualism war we are in.My “mentors” are very reknown in their circles.and all they deal with are facts. Yes ! You have it right, the Quack Trilateral Commission, the illuminates, the elites, the bloodline, the masons, druids.. These people are still the same 13 people who run this world, and the tier falls down the pyramid Have a good day!
