Swamp Elective

Imam Pat Robertson has called a fatwah on Hugo Chavez! OK, not really but I thought if I used the proper buzzwords for “some crazy fuck religious extremist is telling his followers to go out and kill somebody” it might get more of a reaction than the “Gosh what a silly old man” it seems to be generating in the Main Stream Media. For those that don’t know, Hugo Chavez is the president of Venezuela and Pat Robertson president of the “Moral Majority” has proposed a late 95th trimester abortion for him. Why does Pat Robertson hate Hugo Chavez? Because Chavez is a leftist not a full-blown Communist mind you, a leftist. He was elected, democratically, on the promise that perhaps some of the wealth of Venezuela could be used to ameliorate a tiny bit of that country’s wretched and abject poverty. So Pat Robertson as a good and observant Christian wants him killed. Did I mention that this natural wealth that Chavez wants shared come from the nation’s supply of oil? I’m sure that’s incidental no one would propose we get rid of a head of state to insure unfettered access…What was I? Oh right. Jesus said: “That which you do onto the least of my brothers that you do onto me.” He asked, “Are you not your brothers keeper?” Helping the poor and eliminating the suffering of the poor is mentioned 300 times in the Bible. Now, I’m no Bible scholar but this Jesus guy he sounds like a leftist. Pat Robertson makes millions of dollars a year praying for himself! He owns a television network and the news media are acting like “Oh, that’s just grandpa we don’t let him have the remote anymore” My point is this, we can no longer let these pricks call themselves Christians or Americans or Moral anything with out forcing them to explain their rampant idiocy. And I don’t want the press corps to ask questions; I want Jesuits. Give me a group of Boston College theological seminary graduate students and a bus and we’ll stick microphones in these nut jobs faces and make them answer questions until they cry and their ears bleed. Yeah, I know, it’s never going to happen but a guy dream can’t he?
