Last week, I wrote about the Democrats overreaction to the Todd Akin kerfuffle. I was going to leave it at that. Then Tropical Storm Isaac caused the GOP to postpone day one of the convention.
Apparently, Democrats think a tropical storm is some sort of anti-Republican Divine intervention. Former Michigan Governor (and moron) Jennifer Granholm thinks so. Illinois congressman Danny Davis apparently agrees. So does Obama supporter actor Samuel L. Jackson.
Democrats are turning their convention into abortion-palooza. Democrats are redefining marriage. Now, Democrats are speaking for God.
Keep in mind, Democrats aren't speculating about God's intent with humility (which would be fine); they're presuming to speak for Him.
Consider yourself warned, Democrats; this won't end well.
Update: Jonathan Gurwitz has more.
May I join your fight?
ReplyDeleteOf course!!!
DeleteYeah, let's go back to the biblical definition of marriage. I like the one about being able to force your rape victim to marry you. I guess this is what happens when you base your moral philosophy on magical talking snakes.
ReplyDeleteDeuteronomy 22:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
SquareandRare ... anyone can take anything in the Bible out of context and use it to justify their lack of belief.
DeleteIt's in a huge list of rules. There's not much context to give. You should actually read Deuteronomy sometimes. It's some grade-A crazy.
DeleteWith all due respect, square, you might want to compare Deuteronomy to the Pagans who lived around the Israelites (or, quite honestly, Muslims today) before you lecture anyone on context.

DeleteIf your argument is that other religions are crazy too, we agree.
DeleteThink about how hippie this whole "revelation" thing is. You're telling me you can close your eyes and communicate with the spirit and the essence of the universe, and this mystical experience gives you meaning and changes the way you experience the world? Imagine if an old hippie said that about LSD.
Come on, admit this whole religion thing is a hippie joke and just leave people alone. If gay people want to get married, it's none of your business. There's no mystical being that cares who you sleep with.
Edit: fixed typo
Funny that the storm ENTIRELY MISSED Tampa. Not so funny is that it is headed to NOLA, seven years to the DAY after Katrina.
