Martin O'Malley: Jesus was a refugee [Fleeing from Herod's "Death Gangs"]
American Thinker ^ | 12/26/2015 | Rick Moran

Posted on 12/26/2015 7:31:36 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley invoked the name of Jesus as he decried the plan by the administration to deport hundreds of illegal alien families.

The Hill:

__________________________

Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O'Malley says plans to deport hundreds of illegal immigrants in a series of raids are not befitting of the Christmas season.

"A Christmas Refugee Roundup sounds like something [Donald Trump] would concoct," O'Malley tweeted Thursday. "Remember: Jesus was a refugee child who fled death gangs."

O'Malley's comments come hours after reports emerged that the Department of Homeland Security is planning a push to deport hundreds of immigrants from Central America who fled violence in their homelands.

__________________________

Huh? Jesus fled "death gangs"? Recall that an angel appeared to Joseph when Jesus was an infant to warn him of Herod's decree that all first born male Jewish children would be put to the sword. This was an organized, systematic effort to kill by Herod's soldiers. Where O'Malley came up with the notion of "death gangs" -- the sort of gangs that roam central American countries -- is a mystery.

I don’t think Jesus was raping women and threatening to kill everyone.

>> “Remember: Jesus was a refugee child who fled death gangs.”

Death gangs who worked for the legally appointed government! Keep that fact in mind. Governments always seek to maintain order that is beneficial to the government. They’ll do it peacefully if they can because that increases productivity.

But, if the government is threatened, it will kill babies. That is why we have a 2nd Amendment: to kill “death gangs” operating under color of authority.

Cardinal Dolan of New York was making the same pitch. Christian Charity has been transformed by the Marxists into “SOCIAL JUSTICE”.

Herod was an Edomite put in power over the Jewish people by Rome. That’s right an ARAB king was the one who issued the edict to slay all male children under 2 years old in Bethlehem .

Obama needs to deport the hispanics to make room for the “Syrian refugees” he wants the churches to settle in for him. Can’t have the money he is paying to the churches for resettlement to go to non muslims ya know.

These churches are helping the people that will cut the heads off their own parishoners children.

No wonder this clown has 3 percent of the vote after his stint in raising taxes in Maryland and failing at establishing a state obamacare health system.I am surprised he did not say Jesus wants capital gains taxes raised too I hope this is the last we see of this hapless incompetent after he loses.

And then soon afterwards the Holy Family returned to Israel. They didn’t stay in Egypt forever.

So even if we accept the premise that Jesus was some sort of refugee, then that means we have to give amnesty to illegal aliens?? That means we have to take in unvetted Muslim refugees from the middle east??? Really???

I heard the same nonsense during the prayers at Mass on Christmas day. I did NOT respond, “Lord, hear our prayer.” to that intercessory prayer because it is NONSENSE.

Joseph and Mary took the infant Jesus with them to Egypt to escape not death gangs but the soldiers of Herod. They were fleeing the evil Herod who is the patron devil of Planned Parenthood who sent his soldiers to kill every male child under three years old in his “kingdom”.

Herod’s “kingdom” was part of the Roman Empire. The Romans left him on his throne to keep order not to replace the Emperor and not to replace the Roman rulers of the time.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph went from Herod’s “kingdom”, a part of the Roman Empire, to Egypt, also a part of the Roman Empire. They were not refugees. What they did is similar to what my wife and I did six years ago—we fled from Massachusetts to Texas. We are not refugees and Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were not refugees.

Jesus certainly didn’t have a belief in a vile religion that requires its faithful to “fight the unbeliever until he feels subdued and pays the head tax.”

These people have no Biblical literacy whatsoever.

The young family did flee from the murderous Herod, when they learned of his intention to kill all the male children under two years old.

They fled to Egypt to avoid the existential threat posed by Herod. It was not against Egyptian law for Jews to enter and leave at will. No passport or visa was necessary.

Their sojourn in Egypt was TEMPORARY! After the death of Herod, they returned to Judea and settled in Nazareth.

In our case, it’s the death gangs that are migrating here!

O’Malley is a DICK and that’s being polite. He totally f—ked up Maryland, along with the rest of the libtards here and like all liberals moves on to destroy whatever else he can touch.

Jesus was a refugee?

So was Benedict Arnold.

BTW, O’malley, a lefty almost Muslim as recently as last week, has now converted to Christianity? Man,they sure do flip and flop!

Jesus, a refugee??? No way, can’t be...BECAUSE:

1 Corinthians 10:26
for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

Just dial ‘O’ for O’Malley.

Nor did they live off the Egyptians. Joseph had carpenter skills plus, at least, three highly valuable gifts to barter from the Magi.

The most basic knowledge of Jesus and his life/time includes the fact that he was born when both Israel and Egypt were part of the Roman Empire and not independent countries with their own immigration laws or sovereign borders.

So unless O'Malley wants to cry for the "refugees" fleeing from the oppressive violence and taxation of blue states (like his) to red states within the US, the word "refugee" has no place in the conversation.

RE: Their sojourn in Egypt was TEMPORARY! After the death of Herod, they returned to Judea and settled in Nazareth.

And Egypt was not far away from Judea ( not across the Ocean or the seas ).

Therefore, the right application would be to create a TEMPORARY protective sanctuary near Syria, destroy ISIS, and then let the refugees return home.

I wonder why very few people even think along these terms...
