Some days it just don’t pay to get out of bed.
After today’s horrific events the last thing I wanted to read was some whacked out so-called-Christian mega ministry pastor who’d demonized Barack Obama lecturing me about demonizing equally whacked out pols on his good list who are truly up to some evil shit.
But up steps Dr. Robert Jeffress.
“Jeffress, who preached a sermon for Trump before his inauguration, elaborated on the statement in a blog post:
“The incident also highlights the fact that the unrelenting demonization of our legitimately elected political leaders could lead to tragedy, and I refer particularly to the mainstream media, our universities, and to Hollywood. Now is the time to tone it all down, embrace real tolerance, report objectively and stop provoking our nation to conflict.”
Now, I agree it is time for us to tone down the rhetoric a notch, I myself have resolved to never again capitalize the “A” when referring to drumpf as an asshole.
But it certainly wasn’t in response to the mega fleecer who had this to say about our former President:
“For the first time in history a president of our country has openly proposed altering one of society’s (not to mention God’s) most fundamental laws: that marriage should be between a man and a woman. While I am not suggesting that President Obama is the Antichrist, the fact that he was able to propose such a sweeping change in God’s law and still win reelection by a comfortable margin illustrates how a future world leader will be able to oppose God’s laws without any repercussions.”
How about taking that six foot beam out of your own eye, preach, before attempting lasik surgery on me?
I may have likened drumpf to the Archfiend a time or two, but I didn’t pretend to be speaking in a professional capacity while digging through my gullible parishioner’s pockets.
