Stay Out Of Damn Chatrooms
Okay, if you need further proof that you should never say anything on the internet that you don’t want your momma reading on the front page of the newspaper, Texas Republican Representative Jonathan Stickland has spent the past 16 years being a good example of that.
Now this ain’t the first time you’ve heard of Stickland around here at the beauty salon. He’s threatened fist fights over abortion and refers to himself as “a former fetus.” After getting caught admitting that he enjoys marijuana, he claimed that God saved him from the evil weed.
And he’s just a dandy specimen of desirable maleness. Humm … is that a gun in your pocket or … crap, I do not want to know.
Well, his Republican opponent, a preacher man, has taken Stickland to ask for being a pathetic boy on the internet machine.
“His comments are ranging from obscene racist comments to obscene sexual comments,” Fisher said. “I think if the voters of this district had known these things about Jonathan when he ran the first time, they wouldn’t have elected him. They are very offensive statements. How many times do you have to say ‘I’m sorry,’ ‘I’m sorry,’ ‘I’m sorry?'”
Stickland has already offered one apology for telling a fellow fantasy football site member that “rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend!” in response to a 2008 request for sex advice on the forum.
Stockland’s response is that he got “saved” from all this. The problem is, he might have quit saying stuff like that but his cocky attitude and desperate need for attention was sadly overlooked by the good Lord.
Stockland’s supports say that his opponent is the one in the wrong.
Julie McCarty — president and founder of the Northeast Tarrant Tea Party who initially recruited Stickland to run for office — has continued to throw her efforts behind his re-election campaign.
She has also criticized Fisher for “attacking a brother in Christ for his past sins.”
So getting saved is kinda like a Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
I guess he could be like Tom DeLay and get born again again again a few times.
Thanks to Sam for the heads up.
Honestly, the only thing I can really believe can be saved or better yet, reconstituted, is orange juice. Unless Stickland is citrus fruit growing on a tree in Florida, his constant “saved” alibis won’t buy him a cud of gum on the sidewalk!
1Yikes. That there is the poster boy for voluntary female celibacy.
2And people wonder what’s driving people away from religion?
Christians like this.
Good Grief.
3New Rule: since the only accurate photographs of snacilibupeR are mugshots, can we please limit the shots of them to the neck up?

5Who needs to be saved is us from this jerk.
6Sure wish the Kristians would get off that high horse about “The Lord has forgiven me, so it’s all okay now… and if I do it again or worse, he’ll just forgive me again because that’s his job.” And their job is to not be a pathetic excuse for the result of four billion years of evolution, and they suck at doing that.
Rape is nonexistent in marriage? Sounds like he could use a few weeks in a small cell with a big snaggletoothed tattooed biker with a couple of diseases.

My sainted mother’s family of origin was when I was a youth and remains today, frighteningly fundamentalist. My sainted father was raised Baptist. These families put great stock in the ““The Lord has forgiven me, so it’s all okay now… ” part of your comment. Of course I was simple in those days and bought this tripe hook line and sinker. It wasn’t until late elementary school that I learned in painful ways that the Lord’s forgiveness doesn’t usually extend to those locals you pi$$ed off by whatever they think you did. Valuable lesson for Strickland here: The Lord might well forgive, but the humans you stepped on, not so much.
8Lunargent, there are other options than celibacy. This guy could turn droves of women gay and then attack them for it in a vile manner.
9There are 7.4 billion folks populating the earth today. Why would God spent a single second on this misfit with all the people that need help.
10See, this is why RWNJs are so scared of abortion. They keep having to get born again, and again, and again until they’re old enough to pass up sin for a daily nap. With all that boomerang birthing, it’s just self defense to dig in your heals over interrupted pregnancies.
11Every time a wingnut gets caught with his pants down,so to speak,they claim their invisible god forgives them and that makes it all better.
12“. . . brother in Christ . . .”
Can’t make this stuff up.
13Forgiveness is essential but it doesn’t mean getting forgiven gives you the right to keep on doing what you’ve been doing just because. Forgiveness and repentance require a change of actions. And like Micr said God may forgive you but the neighbors might not.
14The “former fetus” has indulged in most of the seven deadly sins, from the looks of that photo, and is sorely in need of re-programming KKKristian style: whips, chains and deprivation.
15God is a joke played on us by our leaders to keep us in line. Always has been, always will be. Religion is VERY risky to your mind.
16I know there are some here who know the Bible better than I, but as to this “forgiveness” thing, I thought it ended with Jesus saying, “Go, and sin no more.” Do I have that right?
17I find it odd that the xtians can be “born again” and therefore not be held accountable for what they do, but whoever it is they’re railing against obviously doesn’t get that particular get-out-of-jail-free card.
And PKM, I agree–and the headshots should have numbers of some sort on them, too, right?
18He’s born again so many times he has stretchmarks.
19That old excuse worked for the Conquistadors, too. Still works for Rethuglicans.
And Cruz is opening the C.R.E.E.P. playbook for 2016; he’s sounding incredibly “Nixonian”, with all his underhanded dirty tricks, and this is just the primaries.
Remember, America: this is what he really is. You know he’s a snake, so don’t pick him up.
20JAKvirginia –
21Exactly right. The whole point of repentance is to recognize that what you’ve done is wrong, AND TO STOP DOING IT!
