By SnifflesAfter so many years of the Christian Right trying to push their God stuff on the rest of us mind-our-own-business Americans, it's particularly satisfying to see them embroiled in a religious controversy of their own.
They've been orgasmically praying for George W. Bush for so long now that suddenly it's a shock when one of their own posted a "Pray for Our Nation and President-elect Obama" thread over at Free Republic.
Well! You can just imagine how up in arms they were about that. Never mind that the original poster was worried about "homosexual activists" and what the Obama Administration will "do" to national defense. Plenty o' Freepers were just apoplectic over the idea of praying for Barack Obama at all.
"No. Obamanation doesn’t need prayers," said one. "This forum doesn't have to 'fair' (as in Fairness Doctrine)," huffed another. "These people don't need to be prayed for — they need to be stopped. Really! I'm offended by this." "As am I," a third concurred. "Coming up next: a prayer thread for Charles Manson!"
Finally, the head Freeper (or whoever) had to chime in a couple of times with a stern reminder. "Free Republic rules prohibit debate on threads in the religion forum marked 'Prayer.' Please respect these rules."
How grimly amusing. Hey, Freeps, you're the guys who profess to follow the fella who said you have to love your enemies, turn the other cheek, and judge not lest you be judged (Luke 6:27-37). Pretty tough, isn't it?
We cats — who HISS at your tediously predictable intolerance — think that President-elect Obama is a way nicer person than you Freepers are. Here's proof.
