Jesus Wept

July 02, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Guys, I truly wish I could be funny or snarky about this.  I cannot.

Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flag-waving protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.

Many of the immigrants were detained while fleeing violence and extortion from gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a freeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.

CALIFORNIA-FAMILIAS INMIGRANTES

 

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 19:14

First, the people on these busses are not immigrants.  They are refugees.

Second, Jesus was a poor immigrant child.

And when your judgement day comes (either in your heart or your religion), you will not be judged by the number of flags you have, you will be judged by whether you are a sheep or a goat.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

How come those who want to call America a Christian nation are the same ones who act so damn mean, hateful, and Unchristian?  When did they shove Christ out of Christianity?

I am convinced that Sweet Jesus was on those busses and was turned away by a crowd of Herods.

I know I am commanded to pray for the armed mob who turned those busses away.  I know that.  And in due time, I will.  Just not today.  Today I pray for those children and families on the busses who are the least, the last, and the lost.

Knock! Knock! Hey, Greg Abbott, Are There Dangerous Chemicals in Your Damn Brain?

Okay, so you would think that a person has a right to know where businesses are storing dangerous chemicals.   It seems like there ought to be some public information laws about that.  However, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is blocking that information from the public.

Abbott says nope, you cannot see that information.  But he has a solution.

“You know where they are if you drive around,” Abbott told reporters Tuesday. “You can ask every facility whether or not they have chemicals or not. You can ask them if they do, and they can tell you, well we do have chemicals or we don’t have chemicals, and if they do, they tell which ones they have.”

No.  I. Am. Not. Kidding.  Just go lookie, Cookie.

220px-Abbott_(cropped)So, I’m supposed to drive around my neighborhood, my kids’ schools, my job, the city swimming pool, my church, and where I grocery shop, and knock on the door of some business and ask if they have dangerous chemicals there.  One by one.

Seriously.  He believes that.  Because you can trust Big Bad Johnny’s Pool Cleaning, Fertilizer, and Whatnot, Inc. to tell you the damn truth.  “Yes, ma’am, we got some nuclear stuff out back in rotting containers.”

No, no, he really, really said that —

But Abbott said homeowners who think they might live near stores of dangerous chemicals could simply ask the companies near their homes what substances are kept on site.

We used to be able to get this information, but the Texas Attorney General cut that off faster than double geared lightning.

Warning –  don’t just sashay up to Billy Bob’s Transmission Repair and Carpet Cleaning and ask if they have chemicals.

“Just to make clear, you may not be able to walk on private property. But you can send an email or letter or notice to anyone who owns any kind of private property or facility, saying that under the community right to know law, you need to tell me within 10 days what chemicals you have,” Abbott said.

And do you know why Abbott won’t release this information?  Terrorists.  Because terrorists cannot send emails or drive around.  They don’t have that checked on their driver’s license or gmail account.

The only damn terrorists are Republicans who are a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Business.

Damn idiots.

 

Fun With Creepy Republicans: The “Of Course It’s About Sex” Edition

His name is Jordan D. Haskins and he’s running Michigan’s 95th House District.  He calls himself a member of “true red-blooded American conservatism.”  Of course he does.  He also masturbates in other peoples’ cars.

On four occasions between April of 2010 and January of 2011, Haskins broke into vehicles on public and private property, disconnected the ignition wires, then started the engine. As the wires snapped and spit sparks, Haskins would masturbate to climax in a sexualized ritual he calls “cranking.”

Oh, but that’s not all.

Michigan Live said, “North Carolina’s Department of Public Safety reports a lengthy list of sentences to prison, county jail and probation for offenses Haskins committed in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The offenses include breaking and entering, larceny and trespassing.”

He says all that is behind him once he turned 20 years old.

He hopes now that voters will see him as the man he is, rather than the troubled teen he was. Haskins said that he has found “my niche, my passion” in conservative politics.

I do not want to know what he does inside voting booths.  Do not tell me.  Seriously, shuddup about it.

Thanks to Jeff for the heads up.

Oh Rick, You’re So Cute When You Talk Dirty

Rick Santorum’s latest drive in the wayback machine brings us this.  Rick thinks that maybe the Founding Fathers were on to something when limiting who could vote.  He noted that emerging democracies would do well to limit who votes based on the following principle.

“They limited the people who could vote in an election,” he said. “Now you could say that’s horrible, that’s terrible. Well, maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. But it was a decision that was made to make sure that there was some continuity and stability within the government that was consistent with the values that the government was founded upon.”

The article clearly states, “Santorum did not suggest in any way that limitations on who can vote should exist in the U.S. today.”  Sure, that’s what he meant.  Just other countries.  Not here, no, no, no.

Why do I hear a slight high pitch whistle and why are all these dogs surrounding me?

Okay, if the weather guessers are right, there will be a hurricane in Washington Dee Cee on July 4th.  Take that, Supreme Court!

Screen Shot 2014-07-01 at 9.13.34 AMYou know how the Super DeLux Brand Christians blame hurricanes on some damn thing like ho-mo-sex-u-als or abortion or wicked women or made-for-tv dramas?

Well then what the hell does a hurricane on the damn Fourth of July in Washington DeeCee right after a Supreme Court decision mean?  If you think God hates wicked women, I wonder what happens to people who use God’s name to hurt other people.

Just pondering on it, that’s all.
