Holy Crap: Louie, Jesus, and the Supreme Damn Court Edition
Texas Congressvarmint extraordinary Louie Gohmert has given the Supreme Court fair warning should they rule that all Americans are equal.
“It is a matter of a constitutional crisis when the Highest Court in the land not merely strikes down and says that their opinion is more important than Moses’, depicted up there in the center point of this room, more important than Moses’, depicted in the marble wall over the Supreme Court, holding the Ten Commandments,” the congressman said on the House floor.
You know, that read-between-the-lines-commandment that says “Thou Shalt Not Gay”.
Louie is convinced that Freedom of Religion means you are free to be a Baptist, a Southern Baptist, a Freewill Baptist, a Missionary Baptist, or maybe a Methodist. Episcopalians are highly suspect.
He explains it.
“The great thing is that, if a nation is established on Judeo-Christian beliefs, it allows anybody to live here and to function here and to do so without impediment to one’s beliefs because one can be an atheist, an agnostic, a Buddhist, a Muslim, Gohmert said, according to a transcript of his speech. “You can be any of those things, as long as you are not trying to take over the country like some would like to do.”
You mean take over the country like would like to Christians do?
He’s nuts. Gotta love that about him.
Thanks to Auntie BFly for the heads up.
So you can be an agnostic, a Buddhist, a Muslim, etc., as long as living according to your beliefs doesn’t offend Gohmert’s beliefs.
Gee, that’s big of him.
Louie, according to our Constitution the Justices’ opinion is more important than Moses’ because we have separation of church and state. Also, Moses is dead, so he really doesn’t have much of an opinion.
1It is entirely likely that Moses (along with all the other characters in the Bible) are 100% fictional. We would do just as well to base our history and future on the Hobbit or (as a scarily realistic future the Hunger Games).
2While the republicant’s are pointing east and crying about Muslim terrorists, the right-wing Christians are implementing their own jihad on the rest of us. Conform, get out, or die. Our founding fathers (and mothers) would be proud.
Had Louie-Louie ever heard what Tom Jefferson said about freedom of religion? You know, that stuff about as long as the neighbor didn’t break Tom’s leg or pick Tom’s purse, Tom could care less about his religion. I bet Louie never heard of that, and if he is exposed to this sentiment, just might be totally dumb-founded. Considering how aggravating Louie’s constant word salad is, I say lets dump this on him and have some peace and quiet.
3Well, bless his heart! When was Moses appointed to the Supreme Court?
4Didn’t Louis take the Oath of Office when he was elected? You know, the one where he swears to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America”???
Kind of the same way Georgie Bush did? With crossed fingers behind his back.
So he’s a liar, too.
5Last time I checked there was no Moses listed as an American citizen with voting privileges. Must be part of the Israeli lobby that drags DC around by the nose.
6I wonder if Baylor Law School has considered revoking his degree. It has become quit apparent that he learned absolutely nothing while attending college.
His family, constituents that voted for him, colleges and fellow representatives should be embarrassed.
7Believe it or not, Louie Gohmert is a J.D. No, not Juris Doctor. Jackass Dumbass.
8Wa Skeptic, you’re making a big assumption when you suggest that Louie or Shrub actually had a clue what is *in* the Constitution. Sort of like the xtians who defend their Bible-based beliefs but can’t seem to figure out where they left their copy.
9Expecting Gohmert to make any kind of sense is an exercise in futility!
10“if a nation is established on Judeo-Christian beliefs”
Which this one isn’t. Only mention of religion in the Constitution is that there shall be no religious test for public office. And I don’t recall jack in the Ten Commandments (or anything Jesus is reported to have said) about gays, if that’s what Louie was raving about.
11Wasn’t there something somewhere that said “be multiple and have fruit flies?”
12King Frederick the Great said it with more style, ” In my kingdom, everyone can go to heaven in his own fashion”.
13epo: Boy did those fruit flies multiply (add, subtract and divide not so much) They must have also landed on his asparagus and left some aspersions.
14Maryelle-:) 🙂 (double like)
15Louie doesn’t understand the Baptist tradition either. Early Baptist’s in America to their credit, were big proponents of the separation of church and state.
