Wednesday night is traditionally a night for organized Bible studies among protestant evangelicals and others. Perhaps that is why Wednesday night is chosen. Another possibility: kids of over-scheduled these days and night off, with the family, might do the kids and the families good. This strikes me as one of these ideas that shouldn’t be shunted aside merely because of its provenance, like the idea that airline ticket prices should change so that it doesn’t make business sense to have an employees fly back on Saturday (instead of Friday) because flights are cheaper on the weekend. This too was seen as a pro-family measure and got roundly criticized by libertarians and others. But it had a common sense appeal, like a no-activity day for over-scheduled kids.

“No Activity Wednesdays” is a clear appeal to protestant Christians who often reserve that night for mid-week worship. What it reveals is that the Iowa Republican party considers these churches to be its base.

A real Libertarian idea.

Well guess what, no activities Wednesday means NO bible study either. No means no.

Christers only know. How about kicking the crap out of Fascist scum on Wednesday night?

Over-scheduled kids come from over-scheduled parents. Those parents don’t have time to spend with their kids like they want already; how about we give parents more time with kids instead of make a legal mandate that “this day of the week it is illegal to do things” (and never define what those things are?)?

Technology could be making life better for everyone, instead it is putting more and more people out of work (locally) and causing them more stress and less ability to provide for themselves which in turn requires them to spend more time trying to provide and much less time simply living.

Of course, the top 2% virtually never do ANY _real_ work, and own 40% of all there is to own in this country.. bring that up to the top 10% (many of whom don’t work all that much compared to poor parents working 2 or 3 jobs each) and you have over 80% of all the wealth in their hands. Or, 90% of the people are fighting over 20% of the resources. THAT’S why kids are “over-scheduled”.

In Congress the Rethuglicans already have no activity days and nights, ever day of the week.

really??? obtuse now? No one considered they might mean no “GOP” politcal activities on Wednesday nights????

C’mon RAW now stupid isnt bad enough now we act stupid to jazz up a nothing story?

Followed by “No Running!” Thursdays.

it’s all about control. There’s some more gems from this nuttier than thou asylum group, including a few that would provide no oversight private owned nuclear energy to replace all other forms of energy. Can we say Three Mile Island and Chernobyl everyone? Well… those would be mild comparisons, but I’m sure some can get the point.

That is when they are burning crosses and dressing up like witches

come on, I usually like your posts, but consider this; This platform is official and supported. Know thy enemy and all that. most repukes nationwide adopt the Iowa repuke platform, and this current one has a bunch of whammies.

I grew up in Iowa [though in Iowa City where there is a high level of culture, intelligence and acceptance] and I now live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Wednesday is church night here for most of the fundamentalist sects and I assume that is why the Iowa GOP is taking this stand.

wednesday is family night specifically reserved for prayer and examination of conscience.

alleluia! alleluia! alleluia! dear god, we beseech you lord! in the name of baby jesus we beseech you!

kill our enemies oh lord! deliver every terrorist baby, child, mother, and father to the verdugo dear lord.

alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!

Church Choir practice night?

This is not new in Iowa. It’s been practiced for years, maybe decades. I used to be involved in youth football 20 years ago; we didn’t practice on Wednesday after school to give kids the chance to attend religious ed. that they didn’t get in public school. Even though damn few kids actually did that.

Again, nothing new from the political party that is the opposite of “progressive.”

BUT…BUT… wouldn’t going to Church be doing SOMETHING (as in an activity on “no activity Wednesdays”??

This isn’t odd. In the south activities aren’t scheduled for Wednesdays so people can go to church. High schools purposely avoid scheduling awards nights, P-T conferences, open houses or athletic events on Wednesdays precisely for that reason. It’s a way to try and wedge religion, sorry, one particular religion of christianity into our government.

I’m surprised that they don’t have “no activity Thursdays” as well. In the fundamentalist church I was raised in, Thursday nights were visitation nights: when we’d meet as a church and go into the neighborhoods “visiting” people in their homes to try to convert them. What better way to make sure all those heathens are at home when we show up.

So Republicans DO THINK there is a role for the government in the personal lives of Americans?

Can anyone conceive of a BIGGER role for the government than passing laws telling people not to do a single thing?
(Dr Hastings Banda of Malawi used to broadcast daily lectures to the masses over the radio; he decreed that when he spoke, everyone had to stop doing what they were doing and listen — police would patrol the streets looking for ‘do-ers’. They were flogged publicly.)
But good luck on Wisconsin Republicans and their Wednesday Call to Prayer…maybe they should build a few minarets.

Wednesday night is reserved for: a) opportunity for preacher to collect some more money, b) prayer meeting, c) song practice, d) reserve pianist practice, and opportunity for the preacher to collect some more money.

Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day!

As a parent with two children engaged in sports I would WELCOME a no activities Wednesday!

Another point of conflict between Baptists and Mormons. In Utah they take Monday night off.

“Blue Laws.” Slavery. Birth control prohibitions. Abortion prohibitions. Censorship. Euthanasia prohibitions. Miscegenation laws. Sodomy laws. Usury laws. Gambling prohibitions. Temperance laws. Prostitution prohibitions. Curfews. Dress codes … … … …

Religious Americans have never believed in limited government. They bear false witness when they call themselves “conservatives.”

As an Adult, you can do that anytime you want to. It’s called taking responsibility.

Think what would happen in a religious state: there would be a holy war with thousands killed, just disputing which night is the “no activitiies” night.

Why don’t they just go live with the Amish. The Amish wouldn’t take ‘em they don’t countenance bullies and hippocrites. Who’s going to referree requests to use the Koran, the Vedas and all the other religious codicles. It’s obvious, it will be their right wing dictator their words and actions expose their desire for.

As a kid growing up in Iowa, Wednesday was unofficially considered “Church Night”- all school related activities after 5pm were officially optional- the idea being that it was the night when you went and did whatever youth activities your church had planned regardless of denomination. We never considered it unusual, and in fact most people liked the idea of a time when you didn’t have to worry so much about scheduling conflicts. I think that sticking this in the platform is just a cheap vote-generating device though.

Bullshit. Along with Sundays, Monday, and Tuesdays, its the only decent night to go to the pub and get wrecked without having to deal with assholes like this prick.

i bet they mean no school activities, so it can be a family-all-together-at-home night, without the kids missing out on some cool school stuff.
not a terrible idea, in my Liberal post-Fatherhood view of things.
—maybe i’m missing something in this–

The GOP in Iowa picked Wednesday as “no activities night” because it’s Hump Day and they have been Humping the Dems for so long now they need a rest .

Narrow minded bible thumpers.

The Baptist Taliban is at it again. Isn’t there something in the bible about this? “Though shalt not stick thy nose in thy neighbor’s business”?

Funny thing is, “Woden’s Day” is the Day of the Devil.

From the same folks who brought you the Holy Roman Inquisition. Is there no point at which your past behaviour exempts you from being treated equally?

Good grief. There seems to be no end to the idiotic remarks from the GOP. And their ideas are so far from reality and common sense it boggles the mind. And this is why the candidates are GOP.

I was born and raised in Iowa. We were conservative but progressive on issues of civil rights – woman’s issues, race, and always ranking in the top 4 for education. The State has slipped far down in education. And they have King as one of their Congressmen. Very sad.

Why does the Iowa GOP hate small businesses? After all, what about the restaurants or even bars and clubs that will have to shut down for this law on Wednesdays. I mean, not even Sundays are as bad as this!

Can we just rename the GOP now to the AMERICAN TALIBAN?

I assume that these assclowns don’t care about the people who could give a rat’s ass about church. Before I fled South Carolina, every other Wednesday night was visitation for father’s who didn’t have joint custody (If you could get it enforced). This would suck if you wanted to take your child somewhere other than church.

what freaks

This means no cooking, washing, cleaning, working and, and, and, oh yes: NO SEX!

It’s obvious.

Wednesday night is … CHOIR PRACTICE NIGHT or MIDWEEK SERMON NIGHT for certain Protestant denominations.

. . . and neither choir practice nor a sermon constitute an “activity”.

PRICELESS.

Well so much for my Wednesday night shower and bible cleaning.

If you wondered if the GOP is real, your answer is above. They dont exist mentally.

I don’t think Iowans will let this fly. Their state constitution is very clear that they’re fair minded people and constitutionally it won’t let the GOP ram this down their throats.

BTW, this isn’t even Biblical. Wednesday is NOT a ‘holy’ day according to ANYONE’S Bible. So, they can’t claim it as religiously-inspired.

[...] via Raw Story. [...]

slick ain’t they?
mark this down as the beginning of the rise of the american taliban.

What you’re missing is the fact that the Iowa GOP wants a de facto curfew enforced one night a week, regardless of peoples’ preferences. What could be more authoritarian and 1930s Germany than that?

And while I’m happy for your parental bliss, not everyone is interested (or eligible) in a family-all-together-at-home-night, and I sure as hell wouldn’t want it MANDATED.

What’s with your avatar?

As in “Wednesdays child is full of Woe.”?

Free speech about Bible, religion, and God along with teacher organized prayer in schools. The Iowa GOP needs to call Christine O’Donnell to discuss the application of the first ammendment of the U.S. Constitution. I understand that she has newly discovered research on that issue.

Wednesday is a big night at the Baptist church…I guess the GOP in Iowa would like to impose their “Christian” laws on everyone else. Now tell me, how much do they and the Tea Baggers love the Constitution!

Wow. Just how far to the right are we willing to go. How many sane and reational people are going to sit this election out. We shall see next week.

Which Bible? Which interpretation? How about you just “study” it on your own time in your own home or at your own church? I am beginning to believe that the less government stuff was all a front for all this evangelical crap. You “love” your country but then turn around and want to re-make it in to something never intended by the founders. How does all this make sense to you? What is the matter with people?

Bwahahahaha! What a waste of ink. What was the Iowa GOP committee thinking? Oh that’s right – they weren’t.

Well, the Mormons have “family home evening” on Monday nights, so is this some kind of religious idea or a family values thing? I thought the GOP wanted government out of our lives. Mandating what people can and can’t do on Wednesday night seems like government intrusion to me. With all the cuts the GOP wants to make and their favor towards corporations that ship decent jobs offshore, Americans are going to be working 2 or 3 crappy jobs and not be home any evening of the week.

This will go over well. I propose Sunday is a “No-church” day. How does that sound.

Keep the gubmnt away from my activities…except for choir practice, which isn’t an activity.

In much of the midwest, many of the more evangelical churches hold some church activities, beit choir practice, bible study groups or even some smaller version of the Sunday services on Wednesday. So by couching this in a rather bland way, they GOP in Iowa is attempting to make sure nothing interferes with these Wednesday activities, especially from schools.

Easy way to show this is a scam is to try to switch it to say, Tuesday.

Seriously, these are the same people who decry the government interfering with their lives!

Are we talking about a Theocracy here?

The mormons will beat you up on this one: they have “family home evening” on mondays. Mitt, go stomp on their heads.

The taliban have the same program in Afghanistan.

How terrible, they want to teach their kids drives ed. What is wrong with that exactly?

What does no activites night mean anyway?

if “”Wednesday nights are when all the major ‘extra-curricular’ activities take place in Baptist churches,” the source emails Raw Story. “Choir practices and kids’ groups and, often, Wednesday night suppers for all members.”

If you believe the bizarre interpretations of some people like ‘Karln’, that all activites are banned on Wednesday, then that would ban the activities they enjoy doing on Wednesday.

I’m just saying that no one posting here actually knows what that means although i do so see why people assume it is a ‘dog whistle’ for creationist bible thumpers

I think they should teach religion in school, ALL religions, that is. Let the kids see the multi-faceted world of mythology for themselves.

Wednesday is Odin’s Day I applaud their cultural diversity in encouraging people to celebrate this Holy Day VOTE GOP and restore the Norse Gods as the True Religion !!

but Wednesday is also the day of Hooter’s $5.99 Wednesday Wing Special 10 wings with ranch or blue cheese and fries. Maybe if they have the Family Night it will encourage more parents to bring their youngins to Hooters !!

I thought Sunday was “No Activities day”… on the seventh day we rest and all… That’s when I choose to stay home and do nothing… I mean I take those word to heart – I rest!

But Wednesday is fine… as long as Choir and kids groups are considered “activities”…

It’s TEAhadism!

Pay attention people… This is the strategy – can’t do it on a federal level, so implement it state by state. It is officially called ‘The Wedge’. Look it up.

Protestant churches also designate Wednesday nights for bible study or other minor events.

Wednesday night is church night in Iowa. Youth, evening, knowledge meetings. Our sports school teams try not to have games on Wednesdays.

I go to a church, and we do meetings on Wednedays because the schools generally don’t have things going on then; it’s a kind of a tradition.

However, I don’t think this should be imposed on secular society. People have their lives! And government should stay out of religion. (Duh).

Do they mean, no metabolic activities? Do they want everybody to die? I can’t in good conscience support that. Sounds like it ain’t in the Constitution.

That’s obviously intended to free up their time to have wild sex.

Let’s keep government out of our lives. If you don’t want to do anything on Wednesday night, then don’t do anything. Why would the teabag party support this?

You ‘ll be sorry. That extra time at church keeps people comming. Give them six days off and they might just forget about sunday. Then again, never mind.

I can here it now. Which one is the True one?

They want goverment out of your economic so you can be exploited to the hilt. Or maybe do some exloiting of your own. Your personal life? They want to run that.

Lets don’t forget our wonderful fellow americans who are ready to vote for this stuff.

It appears that they are not activities under this platform.

I doubt very much that this is about stopping church goers from doing that. If it has the state behind it, it’s about controlling everyone else. Ever heard of the blue laws? They haven’t decided yet what will actually be illegal but it will probably go the route of bars and stores being closed as well as movie houses malls resturuants etc. Your activities are cutting into wednesday go to meeting. Can’t have that.

Like I said before. We know how to fight for freedom. We just don’t know how to live with it.

Actually it was just that kind of attitude that brought about the paid day off on Good Friday until very recently and I wonder how much longer there will be holiday pay for Chrismas or time off for that matter. In some ways we secularists are kicking ourselves in the back pockets. Better come up with some new ones like paid time off for election day so we can do our civic duty.

That’s a duty. Having fun is an ” activity “.

Controlling the faithful by controlling everyone. I rest my case.

We don’t have to invent reasons for taking time off. We just need to to vote for people who value working Americans, understand that time off is necessity and then institute this into our society. Germans receive an average of 26 paid vacation days per year, the French average 36. Do you think all of those paid days off are due to religious reasons? Americans wouldn’t be so excited about getting a few days off for Xmas if they had 26 paid vacation days per year.

Sure, they can use bibles in a text book sense, they can’t disallow students from having bibles, but under no circumstance will they be allowed to hold religion classes in public schools, even if it is ‘voluntary-only’ because that’s just asking to be corrupted. (Religitard teachers telling students they don’t agree with that they’re required to sign up for a religion course

Then again, Roberts has pretty much made a mockery of SCOTUS so home schooling may be an intelligent parent’s best bet.

Haha, “Wednesday nights are when all the major ‘extra-curricular’ activities take place in Baptist churches,” the source emails Raw Story. “Choir practices and kids’ groups and, often, Wednesday night suppers for all members.”

They’re going to outlaw these religitards from going to activities on Wednesday nights.

Well that’s supremely stupid then, because if this bill passes it’ll be outlawed.

“Wednesday nights are when all the major ‘extra-curricular’ activities take place in Baptist churches,” the source emails Raw Story. “Choir practices and kids’ groups and, often, Wednesday night suppers for all members.”

You are such a moron. Apparently from the article, a lot of religitards in the state use Wednesday nights for get togethers and activities for the crotchfruit and sharing horrible cardboard wafers and the GOP intends to outlaw it!

Well since “organized Bible studies” are activities wouldn’t they become illegal under this platform?

What I’m trying to say is, maybe they shouldn’t be so goddamn vague in their wording of the clause.

Well then, wouldn’t that be against the 1st amendment, for the state to regulate ‘special’ time for religitards?

Are religitards so goddamn dense nowadays that they can’t properly manage their own time, they need a state-sanctioned day when NO ONE ELSE MUST INTERFERE?

Iowa, after right-wing religious fanatics take over the state:

“So, bub, what’re you doing in jail?”

“Well, I got into some activities on Wednesday night that broke the new law by Republicans that established that only certain acceptable-to-Republicans activities are allowed on Wednesday night.”

“My God, buddy, what did you do?”

“I took my dog for a walk.”

“Well, you should have been in church. You deserve getting busted.”

“I would have gone to church, but my dog is an atheist.”

Oh, yeah. I remember when I was real young (before everyone in my family was at each other’s throats) we’d be eating dinner in the dining room and *DING DONG* a priest would ring the bell looking for a donation.

I’d like to say my dad gave him $20 bucks “so he’d leave us alone” but I don’t recall that. But shit if some priest showed up at my door at dinner time when I’m with my family at 5:30 after a long day at work (and I was bothered enough by the fact I just sat down to ate and the doorbell rang) I’d tell him to gtfo and never come back.

So they can shake down kids from rough families (not unlike my own, when I was a kid) who go out and spend time with their friends so they can avoid their families.

What the hell did they teach you in Iowa, “How to shuck corn without breaking a nail 101″?

You OBVIOUSLY don’t have children involved in sports in this day and age. If your child is more than a casual athlete you do not have a choice to when they practice or play games.

Let them see how retarded and brain-dead all religions are.

That’s what I learned from 12 years of catholic school. True, it was a damn better education than any I would have gotten at a public school (in Philly) but damn, those religious people are retarded.

Wow that going to make “Hump Day” suck even more. If Iowa links up with Christine in Delaware no-activites will be a “stroke” of genius for the GOP.

“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion…”

These Tea Baggers are so stupid it’s scarcely believable. And the Republicans, who you know already know better, are hypocrites for their fake fealty to the Constitution. By their actions and utterances, it’s quite obvious they give it no more respect than they would toilet paper.

Let me guess, they don’t count Wednesday night church services as ‘activities’. Evangelicals have church Sunday morning, sunday evening and wednesday evening. Not counting the random week long revival brain washing sessions.

And there we have Talibaptist Rushthuglicans in a nutshell. Next we’ll be putting people in the stocks for breaking the sabbath. This is what ‘taking our country back’ really means. Hellllloooo Cotton Mather.

You’re right but everything is going in the other direction.

That will be saved for kissing that big ass elephants butt.

Monday is mandatory Bible Lessons day.

Tuesday is mandatory Corporation Appreciation day.

Wednesday is mandatory Church Only Activities day.

Thursday is mandatory Guns and Military day.

Friday is mandatory Street Preaching and Disciple Making day.

Saturday is mandatory Hate Liberals day.

Sunday is mandatory Church Attendance and Tithing day.

No exceptions.

Does this mean that on Wednesdays there will be no brain activity either?…
It seems that’s already occurred in the GOP.

I’m sure it only seems vague to outsiders, Phil. Wednesday? Why, that’s mid-week Bible study day. Don’t wanna go a full seven days without touching base with their god, might get tempted or somthin’ and end up screwing the neighbor’s wife, daughter or sheep (or the neighbor if both of them have gone too long without reading about how evil sex is, but don’t worry, neither of them is gay, it’s just a matter of convenience, you see).

this bible based nosense needs to end and end now.

Christ-tardity: bringing you torture, massacre, exploitation, and death for 2000 years and espoused by those too stupid, ignorant, or willfully ignorant to be called truly human.

That’s the whole idea. They can’t legislate against god-bothering, but they can legislate against other activities leaving god-bothering as the only activites legal on Wednesday night.

They’re cunning bastards.

I’m back. This isn’t even news in Iowa! But this is Day Two on RawStory? Slow news cycle?

This isn’t going to fly with the Baptists. Wednesday night is their big prayer meeting night. If we don’t have Baptists praying for each other we’re asking for chaos. Or as they say: Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the messiah; Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of Christianity; the Pope doesn’t recognize Protestants; and the Baptists don’t recognize each other in the whorehouse on Wednesday nights.

They really know how to pack the corn in Iowa.

Must be ‘Dancing With The Stars’ on teevee, so they can watch the Palin progeny… uninterrupted.

Your dog and me both…. I’m screwed.

“You can have my billiards cue when you pry it from my cold dead hands!”

So everyone in the state of Iowa is Baptist? Guess these GOP Iowa folks are from the Ken Buck school of government (he doesn’t believe in the Jeffersonian concept of separation of church and state).

The use of the Bible as a textbook should be allowed.

We support higher education.

Huh?

What will the next Iowa GOP platform be? All nonbelievers to be shot on sight?

Help cure ignorance, send an Iowan Republican a book.

My brother in law is full time working single parent with three children and he still finds time to spend an evening with his kids once a week.
It’s called “time management” and you need to learn it.

Blala – it makes sense in a convoluted kind of way: How much higher can you get than God – add the Bible to the mix and you have “higher” education. See? Easy.

Actually, many fundamentalist/evangelical/pentecostal churches have Wednesday night services, preceded by “dinner for a buck” meals, etc., so in the religious mode of thought, this “makes sense.”

Not just Baptists – this is SOP for many fundamental/evangelical/pentecostal sects of Christianity.

Perhaps a night of no thinking (though I’m guessing it already is happening a lot already)

These people are mentally ill. And dangerously so.

Christianists (to borrow a term from Andrew Sullivan, see “My Problem with Christianism”) do not want a separation of church and state. To have this “wall” of separation would require an examination of their patriotism in light of their faith–and That, for many, is unfathomable. It is much easier (and “comfortable”) to believe that our patriotism and our (Christian?) faith are neatly packaged together because then we can maintain the illusions that allow us to act out how we “feel” without confronting the reality that some of our behavior is incompatible with the tenets of one or the other. I would venture to say that many Christianists, while denying it is so, ACT as if Christianity was founded upon the bedrock of the “American Dream”…

Where are all of the “no big gummint” talkers? How would one patrol compliance to this? More cops, more trials, more money.

And don’t delude yourselves…this is no rule only applicable to the GOP (as one of the many anonymous commenters said): If it comes right after public school bashing, you know it’s not only aimed at the GOP – they want to force their views on everyone else – damn the consequences. It’s on their site, in their list. No liberal put it there. IT ISN’T A JOKE OR A MISTAKE.

As far as teaching the bible as a textbook…Come to reality folks: The bible is just a book, and I would no more want “Farting is Fun (by Meg Goepel ISBN: 1449023460)” as a textbook than the bible. If the bible is accepted, then what is next? The Egyptian Book of the Dead? Al-Quran? The “Goseigen”?

but Wed. night church stuff IS an activity. Are they trying to outlaw that?

I support the abolition of the GOP in all states.

An activity they can’t outlaw. That’s what my comment says.

If wednesday becomes no activities night could the baptists still practice those activities?? Wouldn’t they be breaking the new law???

wonder what they have planned for Thorsday night.

I love your blog cause it contain very attractive article

[...] Republicans want to impose their religious beliefs on all Iowans?  Some of those who commented on this Raw Story story appear to jump to such [...]

What you may be missing is that saying ‘there are no activities after school’ isn’t a curfew, which says “get in your house, no one allowed on the streets.” – Look, I’m a lib too, and my parental experiences, both as a recipient and as a donor, were not always blissful. I’m not about ‘enforcing’ such experiences on others, though I personally think even unblissful time with parents can be important. I’m not for legislating it either, but I certainly think there are a heck of a lot of other things much more worth fighting and fighting for. Das all…

Exceptional read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little study on that. And he in fact decided to buy me lunch mainly because I found it for him .So let me rephrase that: Thanks a lot for lunch! With regards, Drucilla.

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this post. This has been an inspiration for me. I’ve passed this on to a friend of mine. thanks.

This is my first time I have visited here. I found a lot of interesting information in your blog. From the volume of comments on your posts, I guess I am not the only one! keep up the great work.

Makes a change to read a website where someone knows what they are talking about.

Great article. Will want some time to examine the stuff!

Fantastic article.. Will require some time to ponder your story!
