A liberal interpretation to fundie logic
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.”

After all of the whacked out nonsense I've heard for the last 4 years, I have a few claims I'd like to propose:

1) 9/11 wasn't some accident, it was god's justice for electing the junior Bush.

2) The Antarctic melting is not happenstance, it reflects god's opinion of Bush.

3) The hurricanes in Florida between 2000 and 2004....hell, they just scream that Bush is a fuck-up, get rid of this retard.

4) The Tsunami...god has just given up on us idiots, it's time to cleanse the planet. Eliminate the stupid fools who choke on crackers, and try again to find intelligent life.

Fundies want to talk shit, let them justify these things.

1. And I thought
the tsunami was God's way of distracting Bush from making war. Humble him a little. Put him in awe of God's power.
I don't think it worked. Junior is still warmongering.

2. Nice quote, unfortunately Lincoln never said it.

4. Ok
It was copied and pasted from elsewhere. I can't testify to it's veracity. The sentiment, I think, remains true.

3. I'm sort of surprised
there's been no statements from Falwell or Robertson (et al) claiming the quake/tsunami is god's way of whacking non-christians...
