GOP/Hezbollah Connection
This is a bumper sticker for sale at republicanmarket.com.
Coincidentally(?) Hezbollah means "party of god."
The sheer arrogance of both groups is mind-boggling in it's level of self-delusion and propensity for selectively ignoring vast sections of their respective holy books. Needless to say, one can find religous conservative zealots at the root of the vast majority of bloody conflicts over the last 2000+ years. Funny how that works, huh.
Closed minded bigots have long resorted to religious texts in an attempt to justify their bigotry and hatred. The more things change the more they stay the same...
Greg at The Talent Show posted some extremely appropriate texts from the Bible with his post on this. But, I'm going to take another approach that I firmly believe gets to the root of matter.
Luke 18
11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[1] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector.
