Gohmert trots out the "Christian persecution" bullshit...



Louie Gohmert: Gays Are Persecuting 'Christians All Across America'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 4/15/2015 12:50 pm

In an interview on the “Faith & Liberty” radio show last week, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, repeated his refrain that “Christians are the only people that it is politically correct to persecute” in America, warning that the U.S. is “not going to continue to see the blessings that America has experienced in the past” because of this supposedly widespread anti-Christian persecution. When host Dave Garrison posited that gay people have become the “intolerant” ones, Gohmert agreed and said that it is “extremely unfortunate that Christians all over the country now are being persecuted for believing what Moses said” about marriage.

Seems as though we just finished celebrated Easter with the usual official US egg hunt on the White House lawn and already they're putting up the imaginary war on Christmas decorations in all the stores.

And, of course, I hope poor, helpless Gohmert survives the imaginary attack from people who have been denied equal rights for millennia.

People who don't support Clinton are often erroneously called "Clinton Haters," but that is so far from true. My hate is reserved for thugs like Gohmert. He didn't vote for Boerner to be House Speaker, he voted for himself! and I sort of remember he's the only one who voted for himself.

He and god will straighten everything out.

physical well-being. You are the only one you hurt when you hate. Oppose someone like him, sure. But hate? No. You are too valuable for that. Just let it go.
