Defending this zealot corrupt group of thugs in power helps them to push their agendas to the top.

They know where the bread is buttered.

If delay was involved in oral sex, they would jump to his defense also.

These so called christians have a fimer grip on politics than reality.

When it became apparent that the Chief of the Counterfeit Compassionate Conservative And Oh Yeah By The Way Conspicuously Caucasian Caucus and his Dither of Dolts had ushered in an era when the XianXrazies felt empowered to impose their vision of virtue on the rest of us, I, at 71 and a long-time believer, formed my own schismatic Church of the Apologetic Apprentice Christian. Membership one; no proselytizing permitted; one commandment: Love ye then one another; greatest duty: care for the poor and most vulnerable among us.

The “apologetic” I felt necessary because the XianXrazies have been less than kind to unbelievers and to believers of other “flavors”. Personally, I never thought God ran a restricted club or needed to gather followers by draft or impressment — He simply leaves the door open for those who choose to enter, but does not despise or hate those who do not.

The “apprentice” because … well, let’s face it: in over 2000 years we may have turned out a journeyman or two, but there’s been only one Master Practitioner, and we rather ungratefully tacked Him to a cross.

I have two rules of thumb regarding prophets: I turn a deaf ear to the obese ones — lack of restraint in feeding doesn’t seem to me consonant with godliness — which means Robertson’s jowls alone are enough to assure I don’t hear him. The other rule is that very probably no one who consider himself qualifed to preach virtue to anyone else actually is qualified. It’s that troublesome spiritual pride thingy. (And yes, I do recognize that by saying that, I show I have a goodly and blameable portion of that pride myself.)

And I have a further litmus test: Performance, not profession — or, in more familiar terms, “show me, don’t tell me”.

Mumbling pieties is not the same thing as having or practicing faith.

You’re really to stupid to respond to most of the time. It’s no crime to hang a traitor. It’s no sin to imagine you and yours doing the air dance. Look to any “peace” protest for villianous imagery. Not only that but villainous, insane, violent and criminal behavior. Those are your people I’m talking about. That’s what you call “patriotism”.

Institute the Sedition Act of 1918 Now! We’ll have the whole lot of you dancing above the streets!

Shine his shoes while you’re at it.

Much worse. I’m a white race traitor.

These are folks who truly admire villainous imagery. This is comic book level imagination/fantasy. I’ll bet you’re a real sicko, I-RIGHT-I.

Killer…We don’t allow your kind in my neighborhood. If you even get lost and cross the line Tom DeLay’s private police force profiles you, pulls you over and beats the shit out of you just for being stupid. If you give them any of your fat lip they just shoot you and throw down a gun.

You’d shake like a leaf and wet yourself if you ever had to hold a loaded gun on another human being.
