There is a major difference between being unable to get your program through and being stark raving nuts.

Quote:A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.
Pastor Steven Anderson stood by his sermon in an interview with MyFOXPhoenix, which reports that the pastor continues to encourage his parishioners to join him in praying for the president's death.
"I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," he told MyFOXPhoenix on Sunday. He called his message "spiritual warfare" and said he does not condone killing.
Even FOX can't make this fucker look sane.
I agree that the pastor is a massive douchebag-fundie-jello-head, but I think a lot of the swing to the right in this country is coming from American's not knowing what to do. For the first time - maybe ever - American's are scared - so scared they were willing to give a black democratic president a try and now feel very betrayed. Whether thats fair or not assbags like Pastor Stevens and many others are capitalizing on this fear in order to futher their own agendas. If we can ever get people back to a rational mindset, we can get past the "you're trying to fuck me" mentality and get some shit done.
To the Democrats: Hey, Martin Luther King was a Republican
To the Republicans: Hey, John F. Kennedy was a Democrat
both men did great things for our country.
