Republicans Aren't Appeasers, They're Worse

Democrats are fascist appeasers like Neville Chamberlain. Republicans, on the other hand, are people who believe Nazis were the agents God used to force "spiritually dead" Jews back to Israel where they belong so Armageddon can occur in the Middle East. Or at least Republican politicians like John McCain are willing to accept the endorsement of conservative Christians such as Pastor Hagee who preaches that Hitler and the Holocaust was all part of God's divinely inspired plan to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. See and hear it for yourself:

And McCain sycophant Joe Lieberman is best buds with Hagee, too. Wonder what Jiltin Joe thinks about Pastor Hagee's idea that Hitler was simply God's own final solution for soulless, Jesus forsaking Jews? Oh well, each of them has the hots to nuke Iran and its Islamofascist Menace, so I guess that justifies overlooking a few minor theological differences.

Hey, at least Hagee isn't some crazy black minister who hates America like Jeremiah Wright. Hagee, after all, is a white guy, and in America, that makes all the difference between whether you are an insane, evil traitor to our country or merely a revered, respected and influential religious figure beloved by all right thinking, full blooded Americans.

I'm sure as soon as they accept Jesus as their lord and personal savior they'll all be raptured up into heaven, which may not have 72 virgins waiting for them, but does have a lot of really prime real estate where they can live rent free.

Everywhere else they talk politics, only in the U.S. are they mindlessly addicted to religion as obsession or satire. Revulsion.

In America we allow our politics to infuse our religion, and our religion to infiltrate our politics.

Even Jefferson pointed out that mixing politics and religion messes up both.

Kill because somebody was killed. Get killed because he killed. Do you think peace will ever come like that?

Re: Hitler Did Jews a Favor (none / 1)

From the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Blessed be the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."

I think Hagee, perhaps, has a spiritual screw loose. His view of God borders on the obscene. Not a Divinity of love but of misery and destruction. To think that many, even the mighty, follow this wretched leader and give him money for his mission. How truly and utterly pathetic.

My God is a God of kindness, and of love.

Re: Hitler Did Jews a Favor (none / 1)

And McCain sought this man out, literally begging for Hagee's endorsement to secure his conservative Christian bona fides. It's sickening.

Re: Republicans Aren't Appeasers, They're Worse (none / 0)

I wish we could straighten out exactly what religious tenets McCain embraces. His old bios have him as Episcopalian, but he says he's been attending a Southern Baptist church in Arizona for 10 years. But he isn't a member of that church and apparently hasn't had his immersion Baptism. Yet he chases after these prosperity preachers, who are neither of the above. Maybe he's actually agnostic?

Re: Republicans Aren't Appeasers, They're Worse (none / 0)

Speaking of appeasing Hitler, what about Bush's grandfather, US senator Prescott Bush, who was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their business with the financial backers of the Nazis. Prescott Bush helped Hitler's rise to power. His companies assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act. That has led to a civil suit for damages against the Bush family 60 years later--now--by two former slave laborers at Auschwitz.

That's not appeasement, that's blood sucking.

I'd love to see George W explain how his family's political dynasty was built--on the blood of millions of innocent people.

Maybe Bush will give up bike riding in solidarity with the Auschwitz survivors suing his family?

Hey Leslie,

Someone pointed out to me that Bush won't have to explain it because too many others in the US would have to fess up.

Thanks - I had just sent the same article to Steven myself.

How DARE Bush raise this issue, considering his own family's doings???

Garbage like this just proves that ALL religions are silly superstitions.
