Oy.
Bible prophecy may have a bad name in the light of Harold Camping’s misguided date-setting, but the biggest sign of the end may have been overlooked in all the rapture hysteria of last weekend.
Once again, we’ve seen the U.S. hit with a series of deadly superstorms following Barack Obama’s pledge to return Israel to pre-1967 borders.
Just days after Obama insisted Israel must give up lands it won through military victory with its enemies, some 200 people were killed by a tornado in Joplin, Mo.
There’s a pattern here.
The only thing more annoying than brain-dead Leftist blathering is brain dead *Rightist* blathering. Leftists are supposed to say things that are logic free; that’s the whole point of their ideology. But to claim that torbnadoes are targetting American cities because Obama does or says dumb things… that’s beyond stupid.
Yeah, it’s been a bad year for tornadoes. But before the Rightwing Godbotherers and the Leftwing Gorebots get ina tizzy, has it been a bad year because we’ve had a statistically notable increase in particularly bad tornadoes… or have they just had the poor manners to wander over population centers? The same tornado, twenty miles off the track, might not have made much news at all.
And if God is bitchslapping the US because Obama said dumb things about Israel (and they *were* dumb), then why is Europe still standing? Hell, why are Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iran even above sea level today? It would seem that Gods aim sucks.

Oivech, this stuff just pisses me off. I’m a believer, though some might consider me an heretic for various reason but.. Personally? If God takes to punishing everyone for the frakups of a few pinheads? That’s not a God I wish to believe in, let alone worship. I think at the very worst he’d do is not show is favor, not intentionally beat the crap out of us with natural disasters.
Moral of the story? There is madness on all sides!
You may laugh now, but wait till the Oval Office is knee-deep in frogs. 😀
He’d probably bow to those, too.

If it didn’t happen to Carter, it won’t happen to Obama. Unfortunately
…I am reminded of Mark Twain’s comments on the nature of a Deity who would do such things….
This is an example of brain-dead rightist blathering. Despite what Scott said, I find them equally annoying (I put his comment about the “whole point” of leftist ideology in the same category, BTW), but less mean-spirited than the immediately preceding comment.

Hmm. Do you disagree with this: “Modern Leftist politics is generally predicated on the notion that the people are incapable of running their own lives as they see fit, and thus the government needs to step in and help people do the right thing, and to take care of those unwilling to take care of themselves or their responsibilities.”
First, I note that this statement is quite different than saying that the whole point of leftist ideology is to make logic-free statements, which is the premise I called blathering.
And yes, I find this second statement more of a caricature than a statement of fact.
Then by all means, capsulise modern Leftist political ideology for us. In other words, define “the Left.”
