In reply to the discussion: Tea Party town hall erupts as Texas state Rep urges ‘compassion’ for migrant kids [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)All we need to do is look at the actual definition for those words. To be conservative means to conserve. To be Christian means to be (or strive to be) Christ-like. Neither of those words could properly apply to these assholes.
The argument is that... we should reject these people because they are sick? Okay, because Jesus did that with sick people, right? I mean, he just told them they were all foreign scum, criminals and such, and told them to get the fuck out of his sight. Hmm. Wait. No he didn't.
So we should reject them because they are criminals? Watch the news, Tea Party fuckwits. Examine our politicians, our media, our corporation, with some kind of critical thinking. You will discover that we have many, many criminals in this Nation that we not only applaud, but regularly vote for and enable.
What the fuck is wrong with these assholes? Plenty of Americans are sick, plenty of Americans are criminals - this is not a reason, a justification, an excuse for rejecting compassion and sanctuary to the suffering, the sick, and the poor.
This one, in particular, is so fucking moronic that it makes me shudder:
We need our borders protected. We need a lot of things, but what we dont need is more people at the trough, said Thomas Rolland to Simpson. These people are not coming in with a good, Christian heart. Most of them are criminals, anyway.
What exactly does Rolland think is a good Christian heart? Is it a good Christian heart that denies aid to suffering families and children? Is it a good Christian heart that suggests people are criminals simply because they are desperate? Is it a good Christian heart that utterly rejects any notion of decency, compassion, or mercy? What exactly does this asshole think a "good Christian heart" is?
Insanity... and it's a republican arguing for compassion! A republican, of all people.... and he's just not conservative enough, not batshit crazy enough, not enough of an asshole, apparently, for these other assholes to pay any attention to.
Enough is enough. My vote is that we deport the tea party. Surely we can find them an uninhabited island somewhere where they can practice their true religion of the worship of money, cruelty, ignorance and stupidity. There they could build whatever churches they liked, implement whatever stupid, shitty, fucking idiotic ideas they think are good. The rest of the world can happily continue on in ignorance of them.
I love Christians - I love REAL Christians. These fucking assholes aren't Christian, they aren't even republicans. I'm not even convinced they're human. Fuck them all.
