Ever since Pastor Glenn Beck delivered his sermon on the Lincoln Memorial steps, I've been wondering how he and his followers can love Jesus, but hate welfare, health care and gun control. I mean, charity, healing, pacifism...that's pretty much Jesus's whole platform.
Then it hit me - the Teabaggers are talking about a different Jesus.
I mean, it was a pretty common name back then. You could walk into any crowd and be sure that you'd hear someone yelling, "Oh, Jesus!"
But this other Jesus was obviously a pretty special guy, too....
The type of guy who'd refuse to cure lepers because it was a pre-existing condition.
People would ask him for a miracle to feed a multitude, and he'd tell them to go out and work for their loaves and fishes, like he did.
He wouldn't render squat unto Caesar - he was Taxed Enough Already!
And you can bet your ass he wouldn't lie down and be crucified by a bunch of sword-grabbing Romans. Not this guy. He wants his Judea back!
So be comforted by the special wisdom to be found in the
12 Sayings of Tea Party Jesus:
1. Blessed are the rich.... for their kids shall inherit the earth, with no death tax.
2. Blessed are the warmongers.... for they shall escape investigation.
3. Whoever shall smite thee on the cheek.... turn thou to another country that had nothing to do with it, and smite them a hundredfold... and take their oil.
4. It is easier for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven... for he can afford to puree a camel and force it through the eye of a needle.
5. Let him who has not yet been caught sinning in a men's room cast the first stone.
6. Ask and ye shall be given.... a lecture on why getting Unemployment doeth make ye a bunch of commies.
7. Knock and the door shall be opened.... as long as thou hast the right birth certificate.
8. Love one another.... unless thou art gay, in which case, burn in Hell, thou perv!
9. Ye hast made this place a den of thieves, but God forbid anyone should regulate it
10. Consider the lilies of the field.... they neither vote, nor own, so go ahead and strip mine that field.
11. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but lose his soul?.... Duh! His profit is the whole world!
12. All those who live by the sword.... shall die by my .44 Magnum, punk!
