Lunatic right-wing nutcase spam of the day

This is a doozey. Here is a bit of the e-mail that occasionally slips through. Included is this blasphemous supposed depiction of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ. I am posting the picture for informational purposes only.

I’ll bet this was a surprise to NBC.

NBC POLL

Do you believe in God?

NBC this morning had a poll on this question. They had the highest
Number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the
Percentage was the same as this:

86% to keep the words, IN God We Trust and God in the Pledge of Allegiance
14% against

That is a pretty ‘commanding’ public response.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn’t .

Now it is your turn ! . .. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such
A mess about having “In God We Trust” on our money and having
God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is the world catering to this 14%?

AMEN!

If you agree, pass this on , if not, simply delete .

In God We Trust

Why would anybody at NBC be surprised? Almost everybody I know believes in God. I belive in God, even a God who hears and answers prayers.

If it is so very important that we keep the motto on the money, which makes no difference to me, when do you think we might actually start trusting in God?

Considering that there is a commandment (one of the big ten) that EXPLICITLY FORBIDS visual depictions of the Deity, why don’t right wing political religious hobbyists OBEY that direct order? Answer, the God they believe in is powerless to punish them for breaking his divine law. Their God only corrects gays and Democrats.

When the real Jesus returns, he won’t look anything like the purported effeminate image proposed by the spamming conservatives, and he knows where they live.

Hutchinson implicated as DOJ corruption investigation widens

DEFENSE DEMANDS DISCLOSURE IN CASE BROUGHT BY
FORMER U.S. ATTY SCHLOZMAN
Political Overtones Pervade Yet Another USA Case

On Tuesday attorneys for the defense in the matter of United States of America vs. Managed Subcontractors International, Inc., et al. (No. 06-03084-01-03-CR-S-GAF) filed a supplemental motion for a bill of particulars requesting the full disclosure of communications between former Undersecretary of Homeland Security Asa Hutchison and former U.S. Attorneys Bradley J. Schlozman and Todd Graves, and any other Department of Justice staff that may have communicated about the prosecution of Managed Subcontractors, Inc. (MSI), which is headed by a Democratic official.

Tuesday’s filing is the latest in the criminal proceeding that began last June with the indictment of Arkansas-based MSI and three of its employees by a federal grand jury on charges brought by former Bush White House appointee Bradley Schlozman, then the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri. Schlozman is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week as part of a growing inquiry into whether the U.S. Department of Justice allowed politics to affect government investigations, as well as the hiring and firing of agency officials.

MSI president and CEO Robbyn Tumey, a longtime political activist and chair of the Benton County Arkansas Democrat Central Committee at the time of the indictment, was forced to drop her bid for an Arkansas state House seat weeks before the November 2006 election as a result of the charges filed against MSI and Ms. Tumey’s son, Brentt Tumey. Tuesday’s motion by the defense outlines a chronology of events leading up to the June 2006 indictment that shows how Bradley Schlozman’s actions in the federal criminal investigation were politically motivated.

Father knows best about church

At the risk of becoming a full-scale holy roller, I am going to have my old friend Mike Ellis on Tuesday’s show at 10. He is the founder of Florida’s Church for Men.

Here is a little something to ponder from Terry Mattingly’s weekly syndicated newspaper column.

When it comes to who fills the pews, every Sunday is Mother’s Day in most mainstream American churches.

And what about Father’s Day? That can be a touchy subject for pastors in an era in which men who religiously avoid church outnumber active churchmen roughly three to one. Worship just doesn’t work for millions of ordinary guys.

“What churches are doing isn’t getting the job done. Mom is having to take the kids to church because Dad doesn’t want to go,” said Marc Carrier, co-author, with his Cynthia, of “The Values-Driven Family.”

Mattingly’s blog, Get Religion, is also worh a read.
