This is the great thing about rabid fundamentalism. You really just don't have to give a damn. Take the environment. I mean, isn't it just a little pointless to care so damn deeply about the air and the soil and the water and the stupid little disposable animals on this silly spinning ball of expendable rock when the Second Coming is imminent and a blood-soaked fire-breathin' Jesus who looks remarkably like Mel Gibson will return very soon to smite the heathens and the gays and the vegetarians and the Francophiles, and who will rescue all those who worship patriarchy and country music and blue-chip oil portfolios? You're goddamn right it is.

Look. This much has become clear. Bush is, more than anything else, an extreme fundamentalist Christian. He is widely regarded as the most openly pious and sanctimonious president in modern American history. He actually preaches the GOP screed in evangelical churches across America. He panders so slavishly to the anti-choicers and the Bible-thumpers and the homophobes it makes Jerry Falwell swoon and giggle.

And Bush actually says, out loud, that God speaks through him, and that God is on our side we bomb the living crap out of Afghanistan and Iraq and that it is the Almighty's wish that we take control of these angry pip-squeak nations and in so doing kill thousands of civilians and tens of thousands of young Iraqi soldiers, as over 1,000 American soldiers are now dead over a makeshift cause that never really existed. God wanted it this way, that's why.

Bush has called Jesus his "favorite philosopher." He has claimed that the act of being "born-again" saved him from a long, sad life of vaguely homoerotic frat parties and repetitive binge drinking and going AWOL from the National Guard,

Bush is, more than anything else, an extreme fundamentalist Christian

Why? Because he believes in God, goes to church, is against homos, and doesn't stick cigars in young women?

[Buggman]

Comes across as a wee bit panicked, doesn't he? And by "wee bit," I mean that he's got this big stain on the lap of his pants for some reason.

Followed by a TALL DRINK to MAKE sure they get the job done right!

[atomicpossum]

Isn't it ironic that someone so filled with hate is so proud to say he's gay?

[Kackikat]

Hey Jim, this thread belongs on DU website, this must be Al Gore's screename.

[gunnygail]

I'M GLAD he's gay. His genes WILL NOT be passed on. (Normally that is) Thank God. The libby gaybos are exterminating themselves and I, for one, am digging it!

[ArrogantBustard]

You dissin' my screenie, boyo?

[ArrogantBustard]

For all we know, some lesbo(s) have a turkey-baster deal going with him ...

[andy58-in-nh]

Well, now: more sick, twisted, foaming-at-the-mouth insanity from Sodom-on-the-Pacific. Please keep it up, Morford: we'd like to win California, too. Ravings like this just help normal people realize how crazy the American Left has become.

[MikefromOhio]

[Free ThinkerNY]

You have to admit, Morford is kinda cute

[netmilsmom]

Nothing a little Haldol shot in the butt won't cure.
I'm sure he is used to getting things in his butt.
