Screwy Louie
Louie is fit to be tied over Israel again. He says the President is going to hell in a hand basket because … well, the Bible says so.
Gohmert accused President Barack Obama of pursuing policies not in Israel’s best interest. He mentioned the administration’s support for Israel signing an international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and quoted Genesis 12, implying the consequences of “betraying” Israel.
“It seems appropriate … ‘I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee,’” Gohmert said.
I will give Louie a shiny new nickel if he would read Genesis 12 out loud to me. Especially the part when Abram got to Egypt and he made his beautiful wife lie and say that she was his sister so that the Pharaoh would take her into his house and give Abram lots of cool stuff, you know, like “sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.”
And God rewarded Abram for his lies and brought plagues on the Egyptians for believing the lies. That’s the Fox News marketing plan.
So, Abram whored out his wife for livestock. And that’s where the Republicans got their economic plan.
Thanks for that Genesis 12 reminder, Louie.
Thanks to Bananas for the heads up.
Maybe he can start his own seminary.
1So he’s admitting that the American Taliban puts Israeli foreign interests above those of the U.S.
2A lot of people read the Bible very selectively, especially the ones who like to quote bits of it in public and point at other people. As far as I can tell, doing that (the quoting and pointing) means that they haven’t read much of it, and certainly not the more important parts.
3Just a matter of semantics. The wealthy “hoard” the majority of wealth and nutjobs like Gohmert “whored” for the wealthy. Don’t fauxknee christians claim god hates the sin but loves the sinner? Observing nutter actions appears they have this backwards.
4Don’cha just love the way the Proselytizing Pickers Party (PPP) use the holy book like a rented mule! Fer kats sake, Louise, repent why don’cha!
5Snow globe Louey, nice. First thought when looking at the picture of Looney Louey was that he was modeling for a new line of designer tin foil skull caps.
6Israel’s understandable reluctance to sign the treaty (given that India, Pakistan and North Korea which withdrew in 2003, have not) notwithstanding, Mr. Gohmert’s false piety smacks of one more chance to “curse” the President under the guise of biblical legitimacy.
7The really scary part is that Louie is not alone. This was a topic on Diane Rehm show last week. Recent polls show that evangelical Christians are pushing our support of Israel more than American Jews on a percentage basis. One caller specifically told Diane that America’s blessings from God are directly related to her protection of Israel. For once, Diane was speechless.
8I prefer a President who acts in the interest of America, not Israel.
9Ben Stein claims Obama is working to cause a second Holocaust by negotiating with Iran. Hyperbole much?
10JJ, you need to invent a Louie doll with interchangable light up craniums. Use it year round. Decorate for every season!
Like an electric chia pet.
Warning: If it’s put too close to a Bible, it will probably short circuit.
11Rachel Maddow had a good discussion last week about endtimers and the GOP. Louie is just one of many people pushing end time crap.
“It was more than just news, it was actually kind of scary that the George W. Bush administration, when we learned how policy toward that part of the world was being made inside the Bush White House,” said Maddow.
“These groups wanted the Bush administration to make sure that the borders of Israel lined up exactly with what they thought the Bible said it needed to be in order to bring about the apocalypse,” she explained.
In light of the history of the group with the Bush administration, Maddow said it was not surprising that he would be speaking at the group’s fundraising event.
“It’s an amazing thing,” Maddow said. “I mean, everybody’s religious beliefs are their own, and by definition in this country, nobody’s religious beliefs are better than anyone else’s.”

12Lorraine in Spring — Ha, Ha!!! Thanks, I needed that, and the image in my mind is priceless.
13LMAO
14Actually, Sarah was his wife and half sister, which given what we now know about genetics and the offspring of brother-sister relations, it explains a lot about the line of nutcases that came out of that family.
