If There Was a Hurricane Expected During the Democratic National Convention,

[mary195149]

the right-wingers would be claiming God is upset with us and punishing us. How do they justify a possible hurricane during their own convention?

1. This is very simple

When misfortune comes to others - "God is punishing them."

When misfortune comes to them - "God is testing us."

Basically they are Job, and everyone else is Pharoah.

5. "Basically they are Job, and everyone else is Pharoah" - I wish there

were a way to nominate a sentence for a DU Sentence of the Year award. If so, this one would win hands down.

I tip my hat to you for this brilliant observation.

2. Pat Robertson and his 666 club would be wagging their fingers and flapping their lips so fast...

....they could generate hurricane-force winds all by themselves.

3. I don't know but I know the Phelps clan would be all over it.

4. I can see the true whackos blaming wind farms across the country.

Surely some bought and paid for Alex Jones approved 'climatologist' will say that wind patterns have been disrupted due to all the wind farms that are cropping up across America lately.

This will provide ammunition for those who believe that we should have instead invested in 'nucular' energy. Ultimately the blame will go to us 'lib'rals' who 'hate amurica'.
