The Gospel According to the GOP

Post by Bicycle Bill »

A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:

"Blessed are the proactive, for they shall achieve success.
Blessed are the cheerful, for when you laugh, the whole world laughs with you.
Blessed are the assertive, for they shall win friends and influence people.
Blessed are those who respect the law and authorities, for they shall live in peace and prosperity.
Blessed are the firm, for they shall not be taken advantage of.
Blessed are the pragmatic, for they get things done.
Blessed are the warriors, for they bring freedom to the world.
Blessed are those who are proud to call themselves Christian, for their testimony enlightens the godless.
Blessed are you when you unite with your brothers and sisters to correct unrighteousness in my name and drive out the evildoer. Rejoice and be glad, for by your collective strength you purify the community in the eyes of God and come closer in union with each other, and on such unity is civilization founded."
From a blog by a person who identifies only as 'tealin', who has taken it upon himself to create a post a day during the 40 days of Lent to rewrite various passages of the Scriptures to reflect the teachings and practices of the conservative Republican Religious Right.  Here's where he introduces and explains the project.

The entry I quoted was from day 29.  Click here to see the ones leading up to it (start at the bottom with day 1 and work up), and to view the others as he releases them over the remaining 10 days of the period.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

This lady calls herself a Christian. (And for the record, although I am not a Christian - despite having been educated as one - I have no problem with most people who identify as such and who lead decent lives.) Equally for the record, my opinion is that she is neither a lady nor a Christian. Total fucking asshole springs to mind.

She's also a fervid Trump supporter and in my view, a danger to her children and others.

She is referred to (by the Daily Mail, as if that counts) as Bagel Karen. I have to admit I'm a little tired of the Karen trope. I thought it was funny the first time I heard it, but there are some very good Karens around (I went out with one for three years) and it's gone too far.

I think the last point referring to "purifying" the community is particularly telling; where have I heard that verb as an indeal before? :shrug

The literal definition of a 'Christian' is one who believes in Christ and at least pays lip service to His teachings.  That's why we have all the modifiers such as 'good Christian', 'bad Christian', 'part-time Christian', and 'back-sliding Christian', among others.

You'll get no argument from me on that count, mate.

The problem is one can’t trust the lying murdering communist son of bitches on the left. It is not the controlling of ownership they want but disarming the citizen. Every time an unarmed person is assaulted or murdered by a thug, leftist communists like Shit Head and Communist sue are guilty. They are accessories to the murder of untold numbers of people. Jamil Jones didn’t need a gun to murder Sandor Szabo. Jones chased him down and killed Szabo with one punch and didn’t serve a day in jail. Without a penalty, he gets to brag for the rest of his life about how he killed a cracker with one punch; that is a lot of street cred. Comrade Sue and Shit Head want to make it easier for thugs to kill more people.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Are you sure you're in the right thread, numb-nuts?
Not that it would matter to you, of course  :loon — you're an equal-opportunity shit-spreader.

So it was those leftist nutters who blew up the federal building in OKC and the World Trade Center, and caused 5 deaths at the Capitol? Maybe you should let the FBI know, lib.

I see it now; I was thinking about the previous post while reading this post and responded to the last post here, evidently. I will move it.
