It’s still not too late for him to repent.

It’s far-fetched, but maybe Lee Strobel sat hIm down for a nice, long chat.

I’m hoping he, the Westboro freaks, and Madistan-based Annie Laurie Gaylor and her Freedom from Religion outfit are all wiped out by some catastrophe and end up in front of St. Peter on the same day. It will be the quickest reading from the Book of Life of all time, and the quickest trip to Hell.

Yes, yes, I know we Christians are taught to pray for our enemies even when their goal is to smash our faces into the dirt, but in Newdow’s case he is intelligent and knows exactly what he has been trying to accomplish, so

SCREW HIM!

I hope that Michael Newdow while protesting a giant interstate-visible Cross, gets run over by a nuclear-powered SUV made in Israel and driven by Franklin Graham singing “Amazing Grace” with Newdow’s daughter in the passenger seat clutching her Bible.

;^)

I’m glad he has realized he does not set the agenda for the Republic.

She was born 1994 — still in school if 16, probably still there if early 17.

ex-girlfriend Sandra Banning (apparently the mother of the girl)

Maybe the mother has sole custody now?
