Party of Jesus

During debate on a bill that would make hate crimes out of violence against gays based on Jeebus-based bigotry like the kind the Party of Jesus peddles at every opportunity, North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxx said out loud that Matthew Shepard was not killed because he was gay.

While Matthew’s mother Judy sat in the audience observing the debate in the US House of Representatives, the pious, faithful, Jeebus-loving Republican asserted that statements to the effect Matthew Shepard was killed as part of a gay bashing were a hoax.

She sure has got Teh Jeebus! What could be more pious than completely denying reality?

Five members of the US Congress were arrested at a demonstration in Washington DC outside the Sudanese Embassy. All of the congresspersons arrested were members of the Democratic party. (source)

You might wonder why it is that all of the congressional protesters arrested were Democrats while none of them belonged to the Party of Jesus.

We hope this blog post will help you to understand why none of the members of Congress arrested outside the Sudanese Embassy were members of the Party of Jesus.

Consider these facts:

1. The Holy Bible, an integral part of the Party of Jesus national political agenda, is full of examples of campaigns of genocide that were not only sanctioned by their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, but were specifically ordered by Him
2. Genocide in African nations does not raise taxes on billionaires, so there is no threat to the holiest of all Party of Jesus voters
3. The genocide in Darfur is part of a campaign of military activity, the default position of the Party of Jesus is always in favor of killing foreigners in their own country
4. The people being killed in Darfur are not wealthy Christian white people

Reality continues its relentless campaign of conflict with nearly everything that batshit crazy Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachman (Party of Jesus) says. Among her most recent pearls of Republican dogmatic anti-wisdom are such absolute ungems as:

• This country is running out of rich people (perhaps because of poor Party of Jesus vote counts?)
• ACORN is under federal indictment for voter fraud, the stimulus bill nevertheless gives ACORN $5 billion. (In the world of objective reality, ACORN is not under federal indictment and is not mentioned in the stimulus bill at all.)
• Many members of Congress have a real aversion to capitalism. (probably they are all Demoncrats)
• the stimulus bill includes a measure to create a “rationing board” for health care, and after the bill becomes law, “your doctor will no longer be able to make your healthcare decisions with you.” (Doctors are often able to treat paranoia these days)

Truly the Party of Jesus has now fully completed its transition into the party of Fundamentalist Nutjobs for Jeebus.

Iowa Party of Jesus candidate for Governor Bob Vander Plaats has pledged to prevent equal rights for all citizens, if he is elected to represent Jesus in the state.

At a rally which God clearly condemned, based on the heavy rain He sent, Vander Plaats laid down his faith-based demands in front of the current Governor. “I don’t want to wait two years,” said Vander Plaats. “I want this governor to issue an executive order that says there will be a stay on all same-sex marriages until the people of Iowa have the right to vote. If I were governor today, I would issue that executive order immediately.”

It may come as a surprise to the would be official representative of America’s most popular fairy tale character, but the people of Iowa already do have the right to vote. And they already have not enshrined Mr Vander Plaats brand of Jeebus-based holy bigotry in their state constitution.

The Party of Jesus is synonymous, across every corner of this great land, with the Sanctity of Bigotry. Whenever the danger of equal rights breaking out for all citizens appears on the horizon, the Party of Jesus is there to whip up bias, homophobia, intolerance, and other religious policies. Through their blessed and devout fear mongering they demonstrate their fundamentalist commitment to intolerance. What remains to be seen is to what extent the sacred faith-based bigotry of piously posing petulant prejudiced persons like Bob Vander Plaats reflects the will of the good and decent people of Iowa, and not just the Christians. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Iowa, wait make that millions, who support the concept of equal justice for all. Christianity is on the decline.

Only days after Iowa became the 3rd US State to sanction equal rights for all citizens, the all powerful creator of the Universe and his son with the holes in his hands suffered another major setback when the Vermont legislature overrode the veto of their Party of Jesus Governor, making Vermont the 4th state in The Union to treat all citizens with equal justice under the law.

As a Party of Jesus politician, Governor Jim Douglas was duty bound to support bigotry wearing a pretty ancient superstition dress. The Party of Jesus is all but owned and operated by the right wing, hate mongering extremists among those Americans who self identify as Christians. They fail to realize, it would seem, that a very large percentage of persons who call themselves Christian are in favor of equal justice under the law for all people.

This is the first time that a state legislature has overruled a Governor who chose bigotry, intolerance, and ridiculous ancient superstitions as opposed to fair play. There are many states in our great nation that suffer from having a Party of Jesus Governor, we suspect that Vermont may not always be the only state where decent, rational, fair minded legislators overrule a Party of Jesus politician.

As for the Party of Jesus, Nelson Muntz says it best. It is through their own faith-based bigotry that they are sealing their own demise. And it is a very well deserved demise too.
