Morning Gospel
And Jesus told the masses in North Carolina: “Tolerate not the Sodomites for they are like vermin, infectious, and will make you into a homo, too.”
And the masses listened.
Background: Last week I asked Mark Smollin to make me a cover for a fake book — The Compleat Sayings of American Jesus.
With my suggestions he came up with the above and a word balloon that needed filling.
I told him to use one of the first “sayings” published last week here. It had to grab with that special kind of nastiness one has come to expect in the white vote in the south and much of the heartland. It also had to have a quality that would immediately buzz off the same pismires because they never see themselves in such a bad light, viewing what they’re doing as defending something special instead of what it actually is — using law, truth determined by majorities and rampant ignorance to pick on people they hate.
What was the citation from yesterday? Yes, here it is, with regards to a country in a state of fail: “Comedy thrives; indeed writers are hardly needed to invent outrageous events.”
Today’s double dose:
Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas got 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary.
The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas …
Brown, [a West Virginia electrician who voted for the jailbird], went to the polls Tuesday with his 22-year-old daughter, Emily. She planned to vote for Judd too until she found out where Judd has been living.
“I’m not voting for somebody who’s in prison,” she said.
She was certain about one thing: “I just want to vote against Barack Obama.”
American Jesus told the masses in West Virginia: “Even the lifetime criminal has more virtue than a socialist Muslim from Kenya.”
Just breaking:
And American Jesus said, in a press conference from Charlotte, NC: “Malum est dux qui est infecta homosexualitas” or “Evil is a leader who is infected with homosexuality.”
