Why Does God Hate the RNC?

Share article:

Apparently, they didn’t get the message back in 2008, but, obviously, God hates the Republican National Convention…

Tropical Storm Isaac is now on track to hit Tampa on Monday, the first day of the 2012 RNC.

“We’re prepared for it, we’ve trained for it, we have contingency plan after contingency plan,” Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn told CNN. But if the weather gets ugly, he says, “human safety, human life trumps politics.”

You’ll recall that the first day of the 2008 RNC in Minneapolis-St. Paul was all but scotched when Hurricane Gustav barreled through the Gulf to hit Louisiana, as the GOP was still particularly sensitive to George W. Bush’s Katrina disaster just a few years earlier.

This time, God appears to be taking no chances, and is sending his wrath straight towards the site of the convention itself. At least that’s what Jerry Falwell told me from the grave.

    Awwww Brad! We’re ALL sinners, right?

    All’s I know is: innocent people will be harmed when Isaac hits-I have a very dear friend who lives in Tampa…

    And no matter where the RNC & DNC are held, we’ve all been RIPPED OFF by a deconstructed governmental support system that is now officially OF the Corporations, BY the Corporations, and FOR the Corporations.

    A pox upon all politicians who do nothing but lie & line their own pockets.

    Talk about fiddling while Rome burns? The entire PLANET is ready to spontaneously combust-or drown… As you well know!!

    It is NOT on track to hit Tamp you simpleton. It’s on track for west of Tampa that will bring winds that are bearable. By the way – GET MY TEA BAGS OFF YOUR CHIN!

    With regard to forecasts of Tropical Storm Isaac arriving to douse the Republican National Convention on its opening day, do you think it could be possible that God may have intelligently designed Mother Nature to secret some fluids to keep the Republicans from reproducing?

    If this were the Dem Convention, Pat Robertson would be blaming it on the feminists, liberals, and homosexuals, oh, and On ObamaCare. So, I like to think it is Mother Nature, or a Mother Goddess, saying “Oh, no you don’t! you can’t pollute and lie about climate change and you certainly can’t tell my sisters what to do with their own bodies!”. Payback is a bitch, isn’t it?

    The title of this blog is ironic since the Republican Party has been taken over by religious fundamentalists. You would think, given the teachings of Jesus, which they claim to follow, that the fundamentalists would see this hurricaine as a sign of their sins of hypocrisy. The fundamentalists are being used by the Corportists, who infiltrated the Republican party a long time ago. The Tea Party is a diversion created by the Corporatists to secularize the movement. The Corporatist backed Tea Party is also using the Fundamentalists, if you ask me, by feeding garbage economic policies to two or three generations of increasingly home schooled fundamentals who are willing selling their souls over two issues, abortion and homosexuality. They pulled in the xenophobes and rackets into quite a neat little package.

    I am very scared for this country if the “Republicans” get into control of the WH and all of Congress again. This time they really will turn back the hand of time. Just read their Platform.
