“How can we empathize with terrorists who think nothing of beheading innocent men, women and children?” Mike Huckabee December 2014
The answer to that is very simple Gomer – which being a Christian preacher you should know – we can empathize with our “enemies” because that is what Jesus would do and instructed us to do. But then again Jesus was a Jew, and most certainly as far removed from today’s Christian America as I am.
Oh and it is not the terrorists who are beheading women, it is our allies in Saudi Arabia. As to beheading children, that mostly happens from our own Jesus sanctioned bombs, missiles and drones.
I wonder what Jesus would have to say about using his name in this country to promote war, torture, executions, slapping kids around, bigotry, intolerance, ever more guns and increasing life’s burdens upon the poor while benefiting the wealthy? Perhaps that sorryass crap is why he mentioned the sword that one time.
The quote on top was in response to this Hillary Clinton’s “smart power” statement.
“This is what we call smart power — using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security, leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect, even for one’s enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view, helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change — change the prospects for peace.” Hillary Clinton December 2014
Mike Huckabee will have to deal with a crowded field of those running on the Jesus ticket next year. He will have direct competition from Rick Santorum, Ben Carson, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz. I give Huckabee the best chances in that clown car, for after all he looks so much like Gomer Pyle how could the Feed and Seed crowd not accept him as one of their own and their savior from that uppity witch Hillary?
Getting ready for his run for President Gomer has a new book coming in a few weeks. It’s title “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy” [that should be WHITE gravy] sounds quite reminiscent of his friend Ted Nugent’s silly book “God, Guns and Rock & Roll”.
The dumbest book ever written by the dumbest man in America reviewed…
GUNS GOD AND ROCK AND ROLL by Ted Nugent – Reviewed by Rack Jite
“Residents of homes where a gun is present are 5 times more likely to experience a suicide and 3 times more likely to experience a homicide than residents of homes without guns.” Fact from the Brady Campaign
“We search everyone coming to my concerts and if they don’t have a gun we give them one.” Right-wing NRA Rock star Ted Nugent
From this best selling book, I most enjoyed Mr. Nugent’s rationalization for machine-gunning down cats and dogs on his property. He is personally saving us all from a national epidemic of distemper and rabies! Shooting and killing other people’s pets was just one of the lesser issues covered, the five central themes in Nugent’s horribly written book are:
1) What a perfect, wonderful, smart, well read, God loving, patriotic, white, husband, father, musician, celebrity, and human being Ted Nugent is.
2) Only morons would ever allow drugs or alcohol to cloud their ability to instantly get into the defensive attack stance to shoot it out for their lives at any given moment.
3) Only sub-human Marxists, socialists, and wimps would ever go out of the house without at least one fully loaded gun. Ted always carries two.
4) All problems stem from those geographical urban areas he calls “Planet of the Apes.”
5) You should immediately purchase Ted Nugent’s newsletter for your children.
The most insane point made in this book is the central theme of it. In the preface Nugent rants against Janet Reno, Sarah Brady – who he calls to be euthanized – and all gun control groups, vehemently claiming everything they say is a lie and that everything said against the NRA and gun ownership are lies based upon even more lies. He specifically charges that one of the biggest lies is that having a gun in the house causes more gun deaths than not having a gun in the house. We have to even put common sense aside when it comes to Ted Nugent.
Not much later in the book he tells the story of being a kid in the back seat of his dad’s car driving up to a deer hunt when his father’s unloaded rifle in the back seat went off in the car. No one was hurt.
A couple chapters further on he tells of how as a twelve year old he was playing with an unloaded rifle in his parents kitchen when it went off and fired a round through a wall to the outside, luckily there were no family members for neighbors outside at the time.
Later still in the book he relates a more recent story about how his five year old was playing with his toy soldiers on the LOCKED gun rack, in his locked armory which contained all Nugent’s UNLOADED guns, when one of them fell out of the rack and fired through the floor luckily missing the child and the the people at the party in the room below. Gosh.
Nugent is the most irrational author I have ever come across. Who would publish this bilge? Regnery Press.
