OH PALEEEZE BISHOP HATCH, . . . THE BIBLE ISN'T JUST FOR REPUBLICANS

What an Old Fool

SENATOR ORRIN HATCH, a Mormon Bishop, 78, blasted President Obama on the floor of the Senate for remarks the President made at the National Prayer Breakfast.  During the speech the President quoted from the Bible “for unto whom much is given, much shall be required” which also has the same values for Islamic and Jewish faiths.

Hatch told Senate members, “Someone needs to remind the President that there was only one person who walked on water and he did not occupy the Oval Office."  He said, "I think most Americans would agree that the Gospels are concerned with weightier matters than effective tax rates."

Hatch (R)

What a small minded prick.  Did Hatch ever in his Godly ways blast any other president, going back to Saint Ronnie, from quoting from the Bible?  No.  Then why this President?  Could it be because Obama is black?  It’s an election year?  Or was he just babbling to his vicious and insidious, racist Republican base?

I don’t think I will ever find the answer. One answer for sure, Republicans are bent on dividing this nation. 

Here’s more of what the President said:

 “...in my moments of prayer, I’m reminded that faith and values play an enormous role in motivating us to solve some of our most urgent problems, in keeping us going when we suffer setbacks, and opening our minds and our hearts to the needs of others.

To answer the responsibility we’re given in Proverbs to ‘Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.’ And for others, it may reflect the Jewish belief that the highest form of charity is to do our part to help others stand on their own”.

Just to put this in a sort of perspective, the teachings of Jesus are open to all Christians, not just the Republican Party who needs religion more than any other sector of our population, in my opinion.  Hatch bears witness to this when he strikes out against a person, any person, who calls on the almighty for help.  But . . . Hatch is obviously losing it.  He should do us all a favor and retire after his term expires.
