When our great president Trump coined the phrase "shit hole countries" it triggered a backlash amonst the LIEberals. Trump was never at a loss for words, and we always trusted him to honestly tell us what was on his mind - including the behavior of Hellywood starlets when it came to "celebrity".
Now there was a time when the use of certain words were met with the washing out of our mouths with soap by our parents, but the practice was finally stopped by some "progressive" child rearing "experts" as cruel and unusual punishment.
Nonetheless, it was always assumed that Trump was talking in metaphor - but not literally, except perhaps when it comes to today's subject. Then again, it's hard to come up with something acceptable - would it be "feces hole", or "dung hole"?
The British ruled India for around 200 years as part of their colonial empire. During that time (what have the British ever done for them) they gave India railroads, the telegraph, social reforms, taught them all English, and introduced them to parliamentary democracy. In all that time the British somehow never were able to dissuade them of some of their more bizarre practices, or for that matter converting them to Christians. We should also note that today India is armed with nuclear weapons.
Even today, some of this has crept into our every day language and expressions - such as "sacred cow" and no doubt the exclamation "holy shit".
As an aside, you would expect that Greta Thunberg would be going after India's cows for Globull Warming methane farts, but as with all LIEberals they are usually given a pass because it's part of their "culture". Well, what about our True Christian™ culture - grilled hamburgers and steaks on July 4th, and Pastor Zeke's favorite meal - pot roast?
It has been announced that India's Prime Minister Modi has invited the pope to visit India. Now I know what you're thinking - it would be great to see Bergoglio pelted with some Hindaloo dung. On the other hand, there might be a surprise waiting the next time the cathylicks show up for one of Bergoglio's "new" masses.

Hundreds Throw Cow Dung At Each Other As Diwali Wraps Up In This Village
The Gorehabba festival begins with the afternoon collection of "ammunition" from cow-owning homes in the village, which lies on the border of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Gumatapura:
Joyful crowds pelted each other with fistfuls of cow manure this weekend as part of one village's local ritual to mark the end of Diwali festival.
Similar to Spain's "La Tomatina" - the eccentric tomato-hurling celebration of the local fruit - residents of Gumatapura instead fling snowball-sized wads of cow dung.
The Gorehabba festival begins with the afternoon collection of "ammunition" from cow-owning homes in the village, which lies on the border of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The manure is brought to the local temple on tractor trolleys, before a priest performs a blessing ritual.
After that, the dung is dumped in an open area - with men and boys wading in to prepare their weapons for the battle ahead.
People flock to Gumatapura from far-flung cities each year, and for those in attendance, the messy battle is as much about fun as it is about the perceived health benefits.
"If they have a disease, it will get cured," said Mahesh, a farmer at Saturday's festival.
In Hinduism, the cow is a sacred symbol of life and the earth, and for centuries Hindus have used cow dung for prayer rituals. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pushed for greater protection of the animals, and many states have long banned their slaughter for meat.
