If only I'd known this before ....
The Dallas Morning News: Texas Republicans have a new party chairman
At Saturday morning's prayer meeting, party leader Tina Benkiser assured them that
God was watching over the two-day confab.
"He is the chairman of this party," she said against a backdrop of flags and a GOP seal with
its red, white and blue logo.
The party platform, adopted Saturday, declares "America is a Christian nation" and affirms that
"God is undeniable in our history and is vital to our freedom."
"We pledge to exert our influence toward a return to the original intent of the First Amendment
and dispel the myth of the separation of church and state," it says.
Well
hell ... why didn't we all know this before? I thought that at the least, God hung around in churches worldwide and made guest
appearances to both liberal and conservative believers in Sunday meetings all over the place.
Smilin down on congregations from them big TV screens in the mega church meetings
or seen behind the curtain making stage whispers to Patrick Robertson, Official Mouthpiece of
the Almighty.
But actually running the Texas Republican Party?
The cradle that spewed GW over the side and onto the whole country?
God lives down there and rides on a float in the Stockyard parade every year in San Antone?
This changes everything. We as a party need to immediately start the repentence process before
it's too late. We need to do more to bring Washington State in alignment with God's Texas.
A comittee should immediately form to consider the stigmatas and miracles of this Eyman guy
and that Hutcherson fellow so an accomodating sainthood could be granted .... that we ignorant and non-literalist citizens
can get off the radar before the caravan to Dante's Woodshed starts loading.
I can't believe that I could not see it all along.
I'd heard God was a Republican despite Jesus' General making fun of it and tempting me not to
believe it.
But Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas ... that just boggles the mind.
Well ... somebody better tell Rich Gamble.
I've got family in Utah and I've got to give them the bad news that the Jazz ain't the Lord's
team after all and not to bet against the Mavericks.
