I love this, from Congressman Louie Gohmert (regarding 0bola’s selective Scripture quoting)....


“Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger – we were strangers once, too,” Obama said in his televised address from the White House. He was referring to Exodus 22:21, in which the ancient Israelites were commanded to treat aliens among them with respect, since they, too, had only recently been in their shoes.

“Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt,” the King James Version reads.

But Gohmert, a Texas Republican, held up his own Bible Thursday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity.” “If you just go over to the next column, maybe he hasn’t seen these verses,” Gohmert said before reading from Exodus 23:1-3 in the Holman Christian Standard Bible:

“You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness. You must not follow a crowd in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crowd to pervert [justice]. Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit.”

“This man is showing favoritism,” Gohmert said, “and he’s lying about Congress.”
