Take the Test-Get a Check

I thought I would take a short break from adding someone to the Douche Bag list today and pass along the following email I received from a good friend. Disclaimer: I for one don't believe in random drug testing for all professions. (But that's a column for another day). I do however believe that the idea presented in the following email should be implemented.

"I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%. Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck,I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ASS, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though . . . Something has to change in this country -- and soon."

I think this is a great idea. It probably won't ever be implemented because it might "offend" someone or be considered discrimination against the fourth and fifth generation welfare families that have learned how to exploit the system and steal money from the pockets of the honest taxpayers, i.e. Middle Class Americans, of this country.

It Just Gets Worse

In a statement delivered Friday at his San Antonio church, Hagee said the ruckus "disappointed" him. His critics – including some Jewish leaders – had confused theological probing with defending the Nazis, he said, which was "heartbreaking."


Confusion? There is no confusion. He said what he said and it is what it is. It was a statement by a closed minded, arrogant douche bag that knows his followers will believe anything he says.


"John Hagee is one of the Jewish people's best friends," Los Angeles talk show host Dennis Prager said during his program.

Are you kidding me? With "friends" like him who needs enemies?

Rabbi Aryeh Scheinebrg of San Antonio's Orthodox Congregation Rodfei Sholom participated in a press conference in support of Hagee. The pastor is also being defended by David Brog, who is the Jewish executive director of Christians United for Israel.


I don't know who these guys are But defending Hagee and his beliefs is like.....I have no words. He HAS no defense! I have put my foot in my mouth on more than one occasion to the point of buying peppermint shoes. But to say that God sent Hitler to bring the Jews to the promised land is incomprehensible to anyone with an I.Q. above 30. Which explains why his followers believe him.

There is no defending what Hitler and the Nazi Party did during the Holocaust. Evil is Evil. George Bush and his supporters have raped this country. So have the likes of John Hagee and all the other media evangelists that prey on people's fears. They give false hope to desperate families who send them money hoping they can buy their way into Heaven. Well if John Hagee and George Bush are the path to salvation I for one don't want to go.

John Hagee-Asshole in a long line of Assholes

I'm sure you all have seen the story about John Hagee's statement that God sent Hitler so the Jew's could get to the promised land, yadda, yadda, and John McCain rejecting his endorsement (DUH!). OK, I'm just a tad sarcastic and a little cynical and as you know I'm not easily offended. But Hagee has taken the normal televangelist born again rhetoric to a new level. Now I'm neither Jewish or a Nazi nor am I (God forbid) a Republican and this pisses me off on so many levels that it took 24 hours for a coherent thought process to start up again. Just a few thoughts on the matter:

1. Anyone who thinks the sheep-like born again fringe religious fanatics in this country are just as mentally warped as Al Quida please raise your hand.

2. It surprises me somewhat that McCain, being a Republican, rejected his endorsement. Had it been George Bush he would have pardoned Hagee and said his taped statement was doctored.

3. More frightening than 1 and 2 above is the fact that there are thousands that actually believe what Hagee said just because he said it. I checked out a few message boards (just to irritate myself further) and was shocked by the sheer number of people that are defending him. These are the same people that believe dinosaurs and humans co-existed and use episodes of "The Flintstones" as proof. I was going to research a few more sites but I started seeing bright flashes of red at the corner of my vision and lost my motor skills preventing me from typing. I think I actually passed out from acute anger and frustration.

4. What do you think would happen if someone with the intelligence of an earthworm (or a born again christian) were to get elected to the presidency? They wake up hung over one morning after a raucous night of Bible thumping and condemning everyone that's not like them to Hell. After a hearty breakfast of extreme prejudice with a side of racism they realize that God came to them in a dream with instructions to (please insert your own Armageddon scenario here).......................

5. I want to try and reason with these people but if you've ever talked with them you know after 30 seconds there is more probability you can teach a lump of coal how to ride a bicycle.

Well the flashing lights are returning and I can feel my ability to type fading fast. I'll try and continue this later after I calm down.
