'cause I will so go old testament on your ass......


Have you been following this story out of Obion County, Tennessee?
Keith has been wall to wall with it, and the internets has been all abuzz too. Readers Digest version is : This goat spit county in Tennessee makes you pay 75 dollars on top of your county taxes for fire protection , if you don't live in a certain area. A little double dipping....The Cranick family forgets! to pay the extortion 75 bucks, AND wouldn't you know it, their house catches on fire.
911 : Hello
Mr. Cranick: MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
911: ummmm, to bad buddy, your name is not on my list.
Mr. Cranick : I"LL PAY THE MONEY, PLEASE COME PUT OUT THIS FIRE
911: cry me a river dude, it's time for my break.. click

Welcome to tea bag America... doing Ms. Rand proud, " you are on your on, dead beat." But wait!  it gets better! Mr. Cranick's housefire is so large that it catches his next door neighbors house on fire.. he had paid his 75 bucks, so the firemen come out , put out his fire, and stick around to watch the Cranick three dogs and one cat get all crispy. God Bless America!
BUT WAIT! there's more:

So, as if the fire dept. standing around ( really, this happened) watching your house burn to the ground wasn't enough, NOW comes a little religion into the fray. The American Family Association! and its co-head gay hater Bryan Fischer let go with this little gem of Christian love:

The fire department did the right and Christian thing. The right thing, by the way, is also the Christian thing, because there can be no difference between the two. The right thing to do will always be the Christian thing to do, and the Christian thing to do will always be the right thing to do.
If I somehow think the right thing to do is not the Christian thing to do, then I am either confused about what is right or confused about Christianity, or both.
In this case, critics of the fire department are confused both about right and wrong and about Christianity. And it is because they have fallen prey to a weakened, feminized version of Christianity that is only about softer virtues such as compassion and not in any part about the muscular Christian virtues of individual responsibility and accountability.The Judeo-Christian tradition is clear that we must accept individual responsibility for our own decisions and actions. He who sows to the flesh, we are told, will from the flesh reap corruption. The law of sowing and reaping is a non-repealable law of nature and nature’s God. …

This story illustrates the fundamental difference between a sappy, secularist worldview, which unfortunately too many Christians have adopted, and the mature, robust Judeo-Christian worldview which made America the strongest and most prosperous nation in the world. The secularist wants to excuse and even reward irresponsibility, which eventually makes everybody less safe and less prosperous. A Christian worldview rewards responsibility and stresses individual responsibility and accountability, which in the end makes everybody more safe and more prosperous.

I’m going with mature, robust Christianity on this one.



Really, Jesus wanted your house to burn down. That little Mark 12:31 business is wrong, and from the pussy bible. No longer is it : " And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.". Now it's I got mine, you get yours, dick. These are the people coming into office with this coming G.O.P. tidal wave........


UPDATE : Glenn Beck thinks this is hilarious!
