God, Hurricanes and Republicans


Enough with the self indulgence of a whining Boomer and the horrifying fact that time does indeed pass and all things turn to dust. I forget who said it, but, “I know we’re all going to die someday, I just expected that an exception would be made for me.”

So in the wake of the last few weeks, I’m trying to see how the Religious RightTM can keep its own bullshit in order. Let’s look at the events as they unfold, shall we?

1. Video posted on Focus on the Family asks Christians to pray for rain to interrupt Obama’s outdoor acceptance speech. Oddly, the speech is delivered in perfect weather.

2. Flash forward the next week and a mighty hurricane preempts the first day of the GOP convention. Can anyone of them rethink their politics?

3. Flash forward again and a mindnumbing monster hurricane is headed for the reddest part of the reddest state in the country.


Are any of them thinking this through?

Doncha think if Obama had gotten rained out and a hurricane hit Massachusetts that they’d be all over the airwaves praising God for smiting unrighteousness? Of course they would. What a bunch of assclowns.
