McCain Endorser Pastor John Hagee: God Curses and Dooms America

[darue]

gee, cursing and dooming, is that like DAMNing by any chance?

"As a nation, America is under the curse of God, even now." That ominous slam at America came from Pastor John Hagee, whose endorsement Republican presidential candidate John McCain sought, secured, and recently affirmed to ABC News that he is "glad to have." Hagee claims God's "curse" and "doom" is upon America because of two key issues: reproductive freedom and broad support for the teaching of the theory of evolution.

Although Senator McCain recently told George Stephanopoulos in an interview that his seeking of Hagee's endorsement was "probably" a mistake, he then doubled back to affirm his approval of Hagee's endorsement, stating, "I'm glad to have it."

If McCain did not know of Hagee's belief that God is against America, he should have: Hagee's pronouncement of God's "curse" and "doom" on our nation was not a passing comment. It was a major theme of Hagee's book, Day of Deception (1997). In fact, Hagee devotes a whole chapter to it. Here's the curse and doom quote in context:

In "America Under a Curse," a seventeen page chapter in Day of Deception, John Hagee wrote, "As a nation, America is under the curse of God, even now. Look at the scriptures and see for yourself. The stand we have taken on abortion, the stand we have taken against God in our classrooms, just may have sealed or doom."

Now let's see to it that this is everywhere from here on out... I want to hear some cries of horror and indignation from EVERY SINGLE soul who's felt they had to attack Wright. Surely this SNAKE is 100 times worse?

13. That could only happen ina Free Country, which Imperial Amerika is NOT.

Our Toady media clearly have their marching orders. How they get them, given the fact that the Bushies ahve created other controls besides hamfisted Soviet/Nazi gun-to-the-head methodologies, is partially a mystery but it doesn't really matter anymore. All that matters is REALITY.

And the REALITY is that, if ANYONE attaks McCain, and it doesn't matter how factual, the response of the toady media will not be to spotlight and swiftboat McBush, but to spotlight and swiftboat whoever dared accuse our Emperor-in-waiting.

It is a common reality of Totalitarian Amerika since the Bushies perfect their media control strategies in the 90s. Any attack on the Bushies is immediately met with questioning...of the whistleblower.

Converseley, if a Democrat is attacked, the rest of the Toady Media joins in.

14. Here's an evolution song we can all sing:

Sing it to the tune of "The Locomotion"

Parody text © 2007 by The Freedom Toast


Schools in the United States have got it wrong, now
(Come one baby, don’t teach evolution)
I can still correct it if they sing my song, now
(Come on, baby, don’t teach evolution)
The Bible says the world was made in just six days
And science isn’t real, it’s just a passing phase
So come on, come on, don’t teach evolution to me!
You gotta bite your tongue, now. Come on baby.
Turn back your clocks. Fossils are just some odd-shaped rocks!

Look at Angelina and check out her shape, now
(Come one baby, don’t teach evolution)
You can’t tell me that she’s descended from some ape, now
(Come one baby, don’t teach evolution)
It might be so in Boston or in Montpelier <“MONT-PEE-LEER”>
But Kansans know it never could have happened here!
So come on, come on, don’t teach evolution to me!

Now that you believe it, come join the cult now,
(Come on, baby, don’t teach evolution)
Tell your children’s teacher there’s a new result, now
(Come on, baby, don’t teach evolution)
What Darwin found is causing me a lot of grief
Religion’s free as long as it is MY belief!
So come on, come on, don’t teach evolution to me!
You gotta bite your tongue, now. Come on baby.
Turn back your clocks. Fossils are just some odd-shaped rocks!

I believe I have been called to lead the nation
(Come on, baby, don’t teach evolution)
I think I read it in the Book of Revelation
(Come on, baby, don’t teach evolution)
It may look like McCain or Rudy has the lead
But my religion’s pure, and that is what you need!
So come on, come on, don’t teach evolution to me!

Yes, come on, come on, don’t teach evolution to me!


The reference to "Kansans" was because the song was originally
intended to mock Sam Brownback, but Huckabee and this p-ass-tor
certianly fit the profile as well.

(Used by permission, just ask the Toast! They're good about stuff like that.)

15. Why isn't Hagee the one being reported on 24 hours a day?

This shitbag is way more dangerous, deranged and scarier than Rev. Wright is, was, or will ever be. He is one of the greatest threats to our country and well the planet actually.

[madamesilverspurs]

16. Because he's white and Republican.

[Initech]

18. Good point.

All those scumfucks are just evil incarnate - Hagee, Dobson, and Robertson.

[MrSlayer]

17. The problem is that his words are acceptable to many people in this country.

Saying god is mad at America because of abortion, gays and school prayer seems reasonable to very many people. These are religious staples. They are more mainstream than outrageous and that's why these comments are not and will not be made a big deal.

19. That picture of McSame and Hagee should be EVERYWHERE...

Shove it in McCain's face, everywhere he goes.

What an asshat! He doesn't know which side of the fence to jump on.
