Spinning Sandy
All news stories are spun for political advantage. Given that hurricanes go round and round anyway, why should Sandy be any different?
Moonbats have predictably dug up an unhinged preacher, who is granted the spotlight in order to ridicule Christianity and morality:
The Eastern seaboard may have yet to experience the full wrath of Hurricane Sandy, but one right-wing Christian preacher is already pointing the finger at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
In a wordy and occasionally rambling blog on his website, chaplain John McTernan seems to link Hurricane Sandy (and a number of other recent weather-related trends and natural disasters) on LGBT people and President Barack Obama’s recent backing of marriage equality.
Likewise, tinfoil-hatters are granted a little rope to hang themselves with:
As Hurricane Sandy blasts the eastern seaboard just over a week before Election Day, a number of conspiracy theorists have decided President Barack Obama engineered the mega-storm to secure his re-election.
InfoWars.com, TheIntelHub.com, and ConsfearacyNewz all posted stories over the last several days alleging that the The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, helped the president engineer Sandy.
Naturally moonbat true believers like the kooks at WaPo are using Sandy as an excuse to fret about nonexistent global warming.
Back on Planet Earth, Sandy is just a storm like other storms, worse than some, but nowhere near as damaging in the long term as Hurricane Zero:

McRINO’s Hack Daughter Tells “Fellow Republicans” They Shouldn’t Doubt Global Warming After Hurricane Sandy…

I was laughing about the “unhinged” preacher myself yesterday..
Trouble is, probably about 20%-30% of americans would believe him. Exceptional!
Unhinged is right:
“In a second blog titled “Hurricane Sandy and the Election,” he said of Romney, “Yes, he is a big time pro-homosexual supporter to the point he will keep open homosexuality in the military; he wants homosexuals in the Boy Scouts; and he wants more open homosexuals in the Republican Party.”

Can’t she just come clean and make a direct campaign ad for the won instead of keeping up this charade?
The unprincipled McLAME has not an ounce of integrity. So his daughter is no surprise..

Why ?
She is being handed all the attention her moonbat addled mind can handle.
Did you notice the libs at the Hill gave her the esteemed title “political analyst” ?
I say she is a chip off the ol’ block

Funny how any new-age belief is accepted as, if not true, at least reasonable. Crystals. Lightwork. ESP. Runes. Mediums who talk with the dead.
However, if a Christian should dare to believe that the Almighty has a hand in world events, he’s a nut.
Stranger still are all those “Christians” who scoff. The book they supposedly read and believe is full of that kind of stuff, and even predicts that more will happen, especially when a “nation shakes it’s fist at God”.
A mistake might be saying “This disaster is specifically because of this issue”, and obviously most earthquakes or storms are not some sort of Divine Wrath.
But first, the Repub convention is stalled because of a hurricane, now right before the election a hurricane. If you look at it and say “I wonder…” you’re an extremist and wing-nut, unlike totally reasonable scientists who talk about “dark matter” because their theories of celestial mechanics don’t work.

I followed the McLAME tax increase link. Getting rid of ethanol subsidies is not a tax increase. I loathe the corrupt moslem-slave Grover Norquist almost as much as I loathe Obama.
No way I will criticize McLAME for going against the CORRUPT Norquist on ethanol subsidies.
Other than that, McLAME sucks.
.
Oh come on. ‘HAARP’? Everyone knows Mitt conjured the storm by wearing his magic pajamas in a successful attempt to get Obama off the campaign trail. Sheesh.
Ummah
I agree with you on ethanol
Maybe it’s just my initial gut reaction to McLame that lead me to assume tax rate increases are on his radar as well.
As for Norquist and his “tax pledge”, it’s just more Kabuki theater.

One must ask; could Romney even execute his plan of eliminating loopholes and lowering rates under the “tax pledge” until he first satisfied Norquist’s interests ?

Are you saying god has something against republicans?
I’m not saying your a kook or the guy in the article above. Hurricane Sandy being a punishing act of God seems to be the train of thought on almost every religious/rapture website I have seen.

I think most real Conservatives are against ethanol subsidies. I’ve read comments on MB from time to time allowing me to affirm that statement.
If entrenched corruption were his only vice, I would cast Norquist as your basic corrupt insider not worthy of any particular attention.
But his being used willingly by the worst of the worst of moslems to gain inside access to the GOP and American politics is something I can’t overlook, much less forgive.
I LOATHE Grover Norquist with every fiber of my soul.
What an odious collaborateur. If this war islam is waging on us would ever come to a positive end, similar to WW2, I’d be glad to shave Norquist’s head all on my own and then spit in his face.

Hurricane Sandy?
Sorry that was me
I control the weather from my basement in my home. I bought the controller off of e-bay.
I thought Halliburton owned the Hurricane Generator???
Did I really need a “sarc” tag? they’ll be quotin’ me over at PuffHo now…..
Sinister, I have no idea if Sandy is an act of God, Satan or just a big rain-storm that hit at a bad time.
The problem is if you wonder about it, if you think it’s possible that some supernatural force might be involved, you’re scoffed at as a whack-job.
I repeat, any Christian who actually reads and believes the Bible could see the possibility of it being something other than coincidence. If not, they either never read the book, or are lying to themselves about being believers.
The NON-believers are easier to understand. They simply disregard anything the Bible says, therefore anyone applying biblical ideas to daily life is an idiot.
Well said Anon-Y-Mouse!
Sinister,
God has promised us that these terrible things were going to happen in the end times:
“9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
Luke 21
New International Version (NIV)
The reason these things will happen is because of the evilness of those who do not love the Lord. Fortunately, God has promised to keep his people from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world.
That’s why we Christians pay attention and tell others about these things – to save them and YOU.
You know, it was only a matter of time before Al Gore chimed in and reminded us that manbearpig is alive, well and a real threat to us all.
He’s cereal. Totally cereal. Super, super cereal!
From my first link above:
New York and New England were hit with powerful hurricanes in 1821 and 1938. In 1821, the hurricane was called, The Great September Gale. In 1938, the hurricane, aptly named the Long Island Express, slammed New York and New England with winds of up to 120 MPH.
Is Mr. Gore saying that these massive hurricanes were caused by some form of man-made global warming…really? Please.
Thank you Jodie.
