Asses of Evil

"They understand I’m not like no politician they have looked at, ever."
I'm not so sure, but I am sure that if Neal Horsley were running as a Democrat, the blowhards would be in ecstasy and the blogs would be brimming over with hilarity enough to last for years and years of giggling.

Horsley, after all, admits to having had sex with a mule.
“You experiment with anything that moves when you are growing up sexually”
says the Georgia Creator's Rights Party gubernatorial candidate. That's the TCRP or T-Crap for short. Of course Neal is all grown up now and that's why his family hates him and he's almost killed his son and he publishes the names of doctors who perform abortions and crosses them off as they are murdered and is willing to start another civil war so that Georgia can secede and overturn Roe Vs. Wade even if it costs the life of his child - or yours.

Is this what's left at the bottom of the barrel the GOP has drank from all these years or is this just a Georgia thang?
“I contend this is really about people’s ability to believe in God. When it comes to that place, when your’re talking about God’s plan to protect himself, then the lives of people become, really, almost irrelevant… in the degree that they result in Him being glorified. That’s the nature of the truth”
says the very Christian Horsley. That's the nature of a scared, vulnerable and weak God who needs to protect himself no matter who gets killed in the process. Glory is important, people are irrelevant and if you don't believe in Horsley's God, then you're irrelevant.

I suspect Neal isn't the sole bat in the Religious Right's belfry. I suspect Sarah Palin is just as bonkers but more reluctant to open her personal can of batshit gumbo to a public viewing.

To be sure Horsely is a long-shot candidate even in the Bible Belt, but with careful handling and sufficient rabble-rousing, there is no reason he can't go far. Just how far he does go will be interesting to observe as a measure of the post-Obama fundamentalist world that continues to lower the bar in their desperate game of Limbo.

  1. People like Horsley are the reason people think all Christians are bonkers. Because of him I am hesitant to respond "yes" when people ask me if I am a Christian, because that is a loaded question.

    A true follower of Christ doesn't rejoice in the murder of doctors or push hate.

    They also don't rejoice in torture, for that matter.

  2. Oh man, what a combination: weird religion, stupidity, and bestiality. How can he loose with the fringers? They'll run him for president!

    James, my niece and I are very close. She is a Christian in the best sense of the word, (she's worked for The Heifer Project for 10 years). She knows I'm not a believer, but we talk about religion all the time and never disrespect each other. She has her way of dealing with the life's mysteries; I have mine. We both understand this and we've never had unkind words with each other about it.

    My family also includes Buddhists, Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Jehova Witnesses, Mormons, and nonbelievers (lots).

    We all get along, we don't disparage one another and our family get togethers are full of music, joking, and making fun of each other's foibles--but in a good-hearted way.

  5. I don't think any religion has ever retained much of its origins. The Buddha is supposed to have said that what he started will become unrecognizable in time, and if so, he was right; but if there really is a Jesus somewhere, I can imagine a cosmic WTF? echoing throughout the universe if he were to observe his "followers" today.
