Killing For Jesus

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross." --Sinclair Lewis (1935) (From The Bulldog Manifesto)

According to Jesus, Assassination is cheaper than war. This news comes at a time when our kids already look up to National leaders, and see warmongers, liars, greed and corruption. So now, high profile "religious" folk, or perhaps EXTREME CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS are going to go around saying that murder is A-Okay! I was never one for those loudmouthed Televangalist shows... To me, it was all about the show, and the personality, rather than the faith and religion. Again, Capitalism at it's finest... But now.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called on Monday for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him a “terrific danger” to the United States.
Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, said on “The 700 Club” it was the United States’ duty to stop Chavez from making Venezuela a “launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.”

Hypocrites! I can't believe this! Muslim extremism? Communist infiltration? How about Paranoia and television ratings?

“We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,” Robertson said.

How come this arse isn't in the White House? He would fit right in. If the government and it's Religious backers begins to condone assassination and murder of foreigners (they already decide who should lead foreign countries) how long before they decide whether it's okay to assassinate or eliminate their own citizens? Malcontents? Opposition?

At any rate, I don't think anybody should could take this guy seriously. After all, Christians are good guys. In fact, somewhere, there is a quaint idea that says somethign similar to "Thou shall not kill"...
