"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase most likely spoken by David Hannum, in criticism of both P.T. Barnum an American showman of the mid 1800s, and his customers. The phrase is often credited to Barnum himself. It means "Many people are gullible, and we can expect this to continue.” (Wikipedia). Televangelist and 700 Club host Pat Robertson, 83, today interrupted a segment of his show dedicated to fielding audience questions to describe the method by which he has remained “straight and AIDS-free” throughout his long preaching career…said that, since 1969, he’s been wearing an “anti-sodomite” necklace, which, according to Robertson, “repels homosexuals and other queers, and keeps [him] free of their abhorrent lifestyles and gay diseases.” He also added that for $59.99 you too could become Queer free! One has to wonder who is actually more dangerous, the imbecile who believes in the stupid, or the perpetrator of the stupid who believes in nothing else but the supremacy of his lies?
“Methinks thou dost protest too much”, (William Shakespeare). A lawyer in California has submitted a ballot initiative with the state Department of Justice calling for the death of anyone who engages in sodomy in the state.the (San Diego Gay & Lesbian News reports.)
The “Sodomite Suppression Act” outlines seven measures relating to those who engage in same-sex sodomy, "a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha.” Any Christian worth his weight in the Crusades biz certainly needs to spend time wondering and worrying about the sex of others especially that man on man sex thing. The loathsome thing is just how insidious and contrary to anything human a person can become in trying to relinquish himself from his own internal fears about himself.
Two men, both pretending that God, or a Bible, or religion itself is the doer of good and the undoer of anything perceived bad, have found their way to con others so stupid as to believe that hate is a moral value heaven sent. Dismissing anything that relates to democracy, fairness, equality and replacing it with contempt, these two poor souls relish in their own headlines of sinful stupidity. Like snake oil salesmen, these two con artists know that an audience exists as long as insecurity, insincerity and unintelligence lingers long.
