The Huckaclown Strikes Again
Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Idiotarians, Politics, RINOs4:41 PM
Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy it’s going to be a rather splendid time watching the Huckabomb go down in flames.
We don’t know about you, but somehow it strikes us as rather unwise to choose for the leader of our nation somebody who likes to pick fights with people he can’t possibly hope to win against. Pick a fight. With Rush freakin’ LIMBAUGH???
Also, now that he’s done pronouncing that he has G-d’s Own Endorsement and that any criticism of him during the holy season is just downright un-Christian, he’s on to bigger things. He has already done his best to insult anybody happening to be a Mormon so, that particular denomination checked off the list, the next obvious group to piss on would be the Catholics, we suppose.
Apparently taking a dump on somebody’s faith by kissing up to a raving bigot who hates their guts is quite OK with the Almighty, but criticizing The Anointed Hickabee, G-d’s Own Candidate during Christmas is just. Beyond. The. Pale.
But what would we know? We don’t have the L-rd Our Savior’s Own Endorsement like Hickabee does.
Who is this moron’s strategy advisor? Hermann Goering?

Well we can add that he obviously never read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” to the long list of things he hasn’t done, or doesn’t know anything about.

Huck already pulled this crap against Brownback. That doesn’t forgive Brownback from doing the same thing, but Huck needs to stop. There are more of us than he thinks. And Huck, look at who comes out for the pro-life marches overwhelmingly: Catholics. And commenters here, don’t pull your ‘Catholics are the Anti Christ’ crap.
I’m going to enjoy watching him fail.

If John Hagee is a “Raving anti Catholic bigot”….What would that make Martin Luther?
True.
Nah….Torquemada was a regular freakin’ chiorboy…
True.
Bullshit.
Hagee is a Protestant. What did the Protestants Protest? Catholic doctrine.
Papal indulgences.
The illegality of scripture in any language but latin.
Imputed righteousness vs. Infused righteousness.
Faith vs. works.
The list goes on.
Hagee states his beliefs…(Protestant beliefs)… and he’s a raving bigot?

Two points. The Inquisition was a product of the Spanish Crown, not the Holy See. The Vatican actually instituted Trial by A Jury of Peers in an attempt to counteract it. Say what you want about the Inquisition, but it was a secular institution in as much as it was operated by the civil authorities, not Church officials.
Pius XII was in fact an anti-fascist and used the Church organization to help Jews escape Europe. He was forced to keep very quiet about the Churches operations because A; The Vatican was in the middle of Fascist Rome and Mussolini made no bones about the threat he saw it as against the Fascist State (Pius was in effect trying to keep the Vatican from being taken over by the Fascists), and B; If it was widely know how the Church was helping Jews, the Nazis would have shut down parishes and sent the priests to the camps. Several Catholic priests died in the camps anyway, sent there for crimes ranging from sheltering Jews to performing Catholic wedding ceremonies for Party officials. One story (can’t remember the name, but Israel named him a Righteous Gentile) tells of the Catholic Priest who willingly substituted his self in the gas chamber so that a Jew could live. And for Hagee to claim that Hitler learned his anti-semitism from the Catholic Church ignores the fact that the vast majority of Europe, Catholic and Protestant alike, was virulently anti-semitic.
I will not try and defend Catholic Doctrine here, but the Church kept Christianity alive during the dark days of the Middle Ages. If it wasn’t for the Vatican and the Catholic Church, Luther would have been a pagan barbarian worshiping trees and lunar cycles in the deepest darkest walds of Germany.

Catholic Priests and parishioners went to great lengths to help the Jewish people to escape or avoid persecution at the hands of the Nazis. No doubt about it. But for the Vatican to remain silent…especially with the resources and political sway they had, is ….unfortunate at best. Whatever the price. Remember the example of Christ.
As to the Inquisition ( I’m hearing Mel Brooks…), if it were Spanish civil authorities who carried it out, again, the Vatican (through the Pope) could have brought much more pressure to end it. 358 years. Sixtus IV Issued a Papal bull (I love that) , to stop Ferdinand II but caved to pressure and pulled the bull. (
).
Luther the pagan? Hmmm. (not going there
)
My point is that Hagee holds beliefs that are not at all outrageous or bigotted. Debatable, sure. But the man is not a lunatic.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:18 PMUsing
Ten I agree with most all your points. The Church is not, and never has been perfect. It is an organization of humans with human failings and imperfections and sins. But when Hagee uses words like “the black history of Catholicism”, and calls Crusaders “a motley mob of thieves, rapists, robbers, and murderers whose sins had been forgiven by the pope in advance of the Crusade ….”, and is on record as calling the Pope the Anti-Christ and the Church “The Beast”, I don’t see him as being very open to Christian fellowship.

Ten-Ten, I hear what you’re saying and I agree that Hagee has the right to say anything he damn well pleases. It’s his opinion and he owns it. Similarly, Hickaboo has the right to be judged by the company he keeps, and as far as Christian Fellowship goes, as Crunchie said, Hagee and Hickaboo aren’t exactly batting a thousand.
I mean, first he goes off the deep end casting wild aspersions about Mormons (for which he later had to do much arse-kissing), and now, having obviously learned absolutely nothing from the experience, he’s hanging tight with people who are, to say the very least, “un-diplomatic” about Catholics.
I’m a Protestant too, but I don’t make a habit of deliberately insulting and offending other denominations unless I have a good reason to, such as if I’m defending myself against attack from them or they’ve said something egregiously idiotic. That last bit goes for Protestants as well, as some Methodists around here will attest to. I’m an equal opportunity offender, but only if I have a reason.
My philosophy in life is that a man or woman can believe in anything they damn well pleaseth; as long as it’s not a threat to me or the way I choose to live and as long as they’re not attacking my beliefs, thus inviting a counter-attack, there’s absolutely nothing that keeps me from considering them the best friends in the world and I certainly won’t go around pissing on their most cherished beliefs just because I can. That goes for faith or lack of same, it goes for politics, it goes for sexual preferences, favorite music, drink, food etc. etc. etc.
But sometimes I still explode and yes, I am well aware that I offend people grievously on occasion. I ought to know since it’s quite deliberate 99% of the time. Now, imagine that a presidential contender were to publicly associate himself with me. Would it be unfair for people to draw the appropriate conclusions and judge him by the company he had chosen to keep?
I think not.
Bottom line is this: There are a lot of people in this country who considers being associated with the Anti-Christ, The Beast, thieves, murderers, rapists and robbers quite insulting, and I can’t say that I blame them. Not one little bit. Nor would I blame them for not having the most cordial of emotions towards Hickaboo now that he knows that he’s kissing cousins with somebody who DOES see them that way.

Crusader,
When we had our pro-life rallies in Omaha in October, both Protestants and Catholics came out in force.
Whoa…someone hit a nerve? How many times have you Catholics told Protestants that they (the Protestants) were going to hell because they weren’t Catholic? I’ve heard that more times than I can recall. I’m not trying to start a flame war, by any means…but what goes around comes around.
And, for the record, I was raised Catholic. My parents are still Catholic, and yes, my mom believes that I’m going to hell. I became a Protestant my senior year of high school.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:01 PMUsing
Yeah, my mother was pretty hard core too, Skyechild. But she has mellowed greatly with age. I did five years in a Catholic school as a kid. Paroled in the sixth grade. But after I got kicked out of altar boy school………. I returned to the faith on my own as an adult, by my own choice. The current runs deep. Myself, given my druthers, I’m very much a live and let live guy. My friends cross the spectrum, just about all faiths or none at all. I wouldn’t have it any other way…for what you can learn is indeed priceless. The only faith, if you can call it that, I have little or no use for is guess who? The one faith in major need of an industrial strength reformation. Yeah, those guys in the middle east.

Caveman,
It was so bad that when I decided to get married, my mom dragged me in to see the priest to see if he could talk me out of marrying my husband (who is and was Assembly of God===yeah, I know…another cult. rofl).
The priest, in his infinite wisdom, asked…do you love him? I said yes. Does he love you? …again yes.
The priest nodded, turned to my mom and said…You know, XXX, there will be Catholics in hell and Pentacostals in heaven…there are CHRISTIANS in every denomination.
She was so mad, she didn’t speak to me the rest of the day.
As my husband and I are in the process of divorcing, however, I suppose she has the last laugh. She believes that if we had JUST BEEN CATHOLIC, that our marriage would have been peaches, sunny days, and roses forever and ever.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:28 PMUsing
When it comes right down to it, IMHO, a Christian is a Christian. We all may differ on points of doctrine, or styles of worship, but we left the Catholic/Protestant wars behind us in Europe.
Any one who has accepted Christ as his savior is a Christian, and we are all catholics (note small ‘c’) since it means universal. Styles of worship may vary. I recently attended an AME funeral for two PBSO deputies. Talk about a totally different style of worship. But I never doubted their faith or the power of the Holy Spirit that moved them.
Skyechild
Never.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:35 PMUsing
That was one very wise priest, Skyechild. Too bad your mother didn’t listen. But if she laughs, it will ring hollow, as you know a delusion. For I have known far holier atheists than I have some so called religious types. I leave these people to their fears and anger. I don’t co-sign it. My mother ended up far more open minded than I ever expected possible. In my case I simply made Christ the center, treated the rest as window dressing. Much simpler that way. My wife is Lutheran, I am Catholic. It was more comfortable for my wifes family to marry in the Lutheran church, the church my wife grew up in. We did. The only thing mom cared about was that she was a good person. She was and is. Now, twenty six years later, mom gets on my ass making sure I am good to her. Sometimes you just can’t win, Skyechild.……

December 21st, 2007 at 11:40 PMUsing
Probably not Skyechild, no marriage ever is, but since the Catholic Church still views marriage as a permanent sacrament made with God and doesn’t allow divorce (except in case of abuse or infidelity), they make all couples take a compatibility test and undergo counseling before being married. That counseling has probably saved quite a few marriages.

Crunchie,
So do a good many of the Protestant churches now.
And I have seen my Catholic parents snipe, bicker, and pick at each other for over forty years, and I watched my Protestant in-laws do the same.
That’s the primary reason I gave up on the “institution.” We were getting into the same pattern, and as I tell my daughter…’tis better to be happily single than unhappily married.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:58 PMUsing
Indeed they do Crunchie. As do the Lutherans. And they will not marry you until you have remained engaged for at least six months. But friends told me later it was the way my wife and I, fought as newlyweds will, looked after each other when times were hard or grief stricken. We had our share and then some. But I feel closer to her now than I did when we got hitched. As I told her once, she lamenting menopause and a weight gain she has successfully fought. Most women are pretty when young, those of good character become beautiful as they age. And I do sincerely believe that. I treat marriage as a sacrament, not simply a civil union. What I do as husband and father comes in the job description, as you know from my letters. She takes damn good care of me too, an accomplished baker, making sure I have clean socks and such. I put on odd ones if she doesn’t.

The Ol’ Inquisition seems just about worn out as a topic for bashing anyone’s faith. Sorry I can’t recall where, but it’s recently been claimed the S.

I believe we are missing the real point here and that is, why does religion have so much to do with the political process? The constitution explicitly states that there shall be no religous test for public office yet it is brought up so much during the debates I find it rather troubling. Dont get me wrong I believe very strongly in freedom of religion, however it should have no place in the political process. A president’s primary role is to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States as well as protecting the rights, liberties and above all the safety of the citizens of this nation. Whatever his or her personal beliefs may be are irrelevant, the most important aspect of choosing our future leaders is who will do the best job. I find it sad that this is the 21st century and we are still quabbling over religion.

Fanusi-
Bullshit flag on that play. Crunchie stuffed it up your ass, the analogy doesn’t work. Fascism suborns the individual freedoms and liberty to the ‘greater good’ of the secular state. Every fascist government that’s existed has self-appointed who the moral and spiritual arbiters of the state were. Most mainstream theology recognizes and resolves that we can and are under civil/political leadership of the state (”Render unto Cesar”) but have an immutable moral responsibility to an Almighty. Hitler for example, recognized that in order for the Reich to survive, he would have to subvert or outright ban organized religion, as having G-d in the picture placed the state in competition for the moral will of the people.
Religious people can become fanatics or fascists as individuals, but neither doctrine is a goal of the church itself. Islamo-Fascism/Terrorism is not in and of itself a religious feature. It’s a murderous political ideology using religion as a guise.

It’s pointless for us to argue what color table cloth to use or which salt shaker looks better when we have hoards of inimical enemies trying to beat down the door. There are many things in many denominations I dislike however if we are to survive to argue amongst ourselves we must put aside our differences and focus on the real enemy, Islam and it’s assault on Christianity. After we defeat Islam (the cult of death) we can turn our attention to bashing each other, until Islam is defeated I am willing to embrace just about anyone who is willing to enter the fight (except the Phred Phelps types).
