"...and she's targeting America's Christians."
That's the opening to the screed sent to my elderly father from "Christian Voice".
But it gets better--more batshit craziness after the jump....
There's more:
Dear Fellow Christian,
Please sign your "Save America's Christian Faith"
Petition and send it back to me right away.
(I was miffed that they didn't provide a postage prepaid envelope--I love those--I fill them with junk paper, scrawl "LOSER" on it, and send it back.)
Hillary Clinton is using the ACLU to persecute you,
me, and every other Christian in America...
(They love ellipses)
And if we don't come together to stop Hillary Clinton
and the ACLU, I'm afraid Christians will be silenced
forever.
Please help me stop the attacks of the ACLU.
But here's where the plot thickens...
Hillary Clinton blames Christians for her losing the
Presidency...
...it was the most humiliating moment of her life...
...and now, she's out for revenge.
Please sign your "Save America's Christian Faith"
Petition and send it back to me right now.
When I receive your "Save America's Christian Faith"
Petition, I'll make sure it goes straight to the office of
Congressman James Inhofe.
Hello? Did he mean SENATOR Inhofe, R-OK, one of the most conservative Senators and indisputably the most batshit-crazy Senator in my lifetime?
Congressman Inhofe -- sponsor of S.178, the Religious
Freedom Act -- is our best ally in Washington...
...but he needs our help.
As you might expect, the plot thickens...
Please rush me your signed "Save America's Christian
Faith" Petition and one-time emergency contribution of
$17.45 right now.
The ACLU is already driving Christians into hiding by:
- Banning Bibles and forbidding the metion of
Jesus Christ in Schools.
(Did you get that memo, teachers?)
- Ripping Historic Nativity Scenes out of public
places, town squares, and town halls.
- And advocating the use of the Koran instead of
the Bible in court "swearing-in" ceremonies.
My friend, if we don't do something to stop Hillary
Clinton and the ACLU soon, I'm afraid America's Christians
could be silences forever.
The amount of repetition was staggering--and the number $17.45 figured prominently.
But here are the two basic problems:
- Christianity is still the dominant religion in America--where do they get that it's threatened with silencing or extermination?
- Secretary Clinton and President Obama are both professed christians. Hillary is a lifelong, devout Methodist who we have questioned for her participation in events sponsored by "The Family" on Capitol Hill while Senator--how is it that she 'blames' Christians for her defeat in the primaries when the same fundies claim that Obama is a closet Muslim? The irony is overwhelming!
- The massive stupidity and repetition in this screed. C'mon--"Congressman Inhofe"? This presupposes that either they are too stupid to get his office right or they think their audience is too stupid to understand the diffrence between a Senator and a Member of the House.
(OK, so there were three problems--so sue me.)
Damn, I wish there was a postage prepaid envelope--I love those!
