His Interview with Judy Woodruff is an Absolute Bevy of BS!
I often lament that many, if not most, Christians know very little if anything of what it actually says in the Bible, especially their claims about what Jesus “says”. They know so little of the so-called “good book” it is almost laughable. Almost, I say, because of the seemingly infinite stream of hatred they spew into our culture against anyone, anything, that is not them; not white, not conservative, or Christian. They have no shortage of hatred bottled up inside them as they have always had; infinite, boundless, hatred for others to whom they can pin the blame on their own miserable lives. Take their incessant complaining about “Christian persecution”, a complete steaming pile of absolute nonsense created and cultivated by their Christian leaders and used as just another straw man to raise funds. After all, who throughout all of history persecuted more people, more savagely, more brutally, to the point of inventing the most horrifying methods of torture, murder, and execution and for well over a thousand years? Ans: No one; they hold that title all by their lonesome selves. Add to this their completely unsubstantiated claims that the Bible outlaws abortion (it doesn’t; there’s not a single word about abortion anywhere, Hebrew or Christian scripture) to its’ acceptance of slavery, to their gullibility about wealth & the wealthy, and the scum that preach the so-called “prosperity gospel” in direct contradiction of Jesus’s actual words and parables. Yes, for professional mythologists like Greg Locke, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, among many, many others, it’s like taking candy from a baby, and don’t you know that it’s just the way “a-huh, a huh, they like it, a-huh, a-huh”? What could possibly be better than having people mail you checks for doing absolutely nothing in return?
But I’d like to focus on Greg Locke for a bit since I just watched his interview with Judy Woodruff where he released an absolute bevy of BS expressed with such conviction that one might think he actually believes it. Another so-called “man of god” whose vehement and passionate hatred of other, non-GOP, non-Christian, Americans is palpable.
Many of his comments were just off the charts cray-cray and can be refuted easily with just a modicum of energy expended, e.g., his claim that the Biden economy was “the worst economy in any of our lifetimes”. Why he would make such an inflammatory and false assertion is anyone’s guess, but since his whole world view is based upon mythology and superstition; when you live in that world and preach to the gullible simpletons that make up his congregation, you can make up just about anything and fully expect it to be received like manna from heaven.
He went on to screech that anyone wearing a mask during Covid would be asked to leave his “church” (Church, that’s the place where all the fleecing takes place…). Golly, Greg, did the invisible man protect all your sheeples or did any of them get Covid or, heaven forbid, actually die from it? I’m just asking here because, according to a simple search one would learn that:
“In the United States, there have been 103,436,829 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,232,898 confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country’s history.”
In the maelstrom of misinformation from the Fat Felon, while Putin’s Pal was busy in the Oval office lying about the circumstances of the plague; the source, the lethality, the mortality rates, and, most important, the steps and modalities the various medical communities were desperately trying to get through the bullshit barrier that is conservative media, people were dying. In fact, ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-EIGHT Americans died from this supposed “hoax”, as described by the Felon/Sexual Predator and echoed by many of his immoral minions in the evangelical and fundamentalist circles around the country. Why anyone would lie about such an important issue upon which hung the lives of millions of Americans is anyone’s guess but, as we would come to learn, the Fat Felon and his coterie of bullshit artists that is his administration lies about everything and anything with a certain verve and panache usually reserved for the performing arts.
For all of Locke’s hair-on-fire ranting and raving about Joe Biden, a church-attending Roman Catholic that, unlike the Fat Felon, can actually quote scripture, he certainly doesn’t seem to have any issues with the thirty-four-time convicted felon, adjudicated sexual predator, protector of pedophiles, demonstrated racist, national disgrace, and global embarrassmentcurrently stinking up the oval office. This miscreant is the guy that Locke and others of his ilk chose to give a free pass, asserting that their invisible man in the sky sent him to “save” America, and isn’t he just doing a bang-up job! The miscreant that has been fleecing people, contractors, renters, banks, even his own siblings whom he tried to screw out of their inheritance, and now the taxpayers of America for nothing but self-enrichment is the one person in the country that magical Jesus would choose to “save” America!
No real “man of god” would ever make such an absurd claim and how his mindless minions swallow this manure is anyone’s guess but like the Felon, Locke has learned that you really can fool all of the people all of the time, at least his target audience whose capacity for swallowing bullshit seems infinite.
