GARY WALKER
Holy Moses Batman, maybe there really is a god. I must admit that I have been riding on cloud melancholy for a while now. And just when I thought the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune would never cease, along comes American Family Association guru, Bryan Fischer to cheer me on. I think I will be in a good humor all week now.
The ever so pompous Fischer blogs for the AFA and he recently had this revelation, “Bottom line: you want to know who’s running the US Army, The US Navy and the Marines and calling the shots when it counts? Fundamentalist Muslims and homosexual activists.” Really. Thank god the US Air Force has been possessed by evangelicals for a while now and was spared, or should I say saved, from this satanic predicament.
The ever so righteous Bryan Fischer got his knickers in a twist over the DISinvitation, by the Pentagon, of Franklin Graham (Billy’s boy) to a looming Pentagon ceremony of the national day of prayer extravaganza. Apparently, the Pentagon didn’t dare risk associating itself with the Islamaphobic Graham. Bombing wedding parties, torture, and of course killing a million, mostly Muslims, in Iraq who were no threat to the US didn’t bother the ever so righteous Fischer, or the Pentagon.
Never mind that the national day of prayer is a gross violation of the constitutional separation of religion and government, and never mind that public prayers were deemed hypocritical by a 1st century dude named Jesus. Do not be like the hypocrites who love to pray on the street corners and on Christian TV, to be seen by men (MT. 6:5). Every person who serves in the military or congress swears an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. They are not obligated to pander to any of the gods.
